How much does it cost to build an AI system?

Every engagement is scoped based on complexity and what you actually need. I start with a free 30-minute call to understand your workflow, then provide a fixed-price quote. No retainers, no surprises.

How long does it take to build?

Most systems are delivered in 4–8 weeks from kickoff. Simple automations can be done in 2 weeks. Complex multi-system builds take longer — I'll tell you exactly what to expect upfront.

Do I need a technical team to work with you?

No. I handle everything end-to-end — strategy, build, and deployment. Your team just needs to be available for workflow walkthroughs so I understand what I'm replacing.

What happens after you build the system?

I document everything and walk your team through it. I also offer a support period after delivery so any edge cases that come up get resolved. You own the system completely — no lock-in.

Yes. All systems are built with your data staying in your infrastructure. I don't store or have access to your business data after the project is complete. Everything is deployed to your own accounts.

Here's what's actually happening inside your business

You already have the data. You just don't have systems that use it.

Time is disappearing into manual tasks

Your best people spend hours on data entry, report generation, and process coordination that a system could handle in seconds.

Est. 15–20 hrs/week per person on avoidable work

Your tools don't talk to each other

Data lives in five different places. No one has the full picture. Decisions get made on gut feeling because pulling the real data takes too long.

Est. 3–5 decisions per week made without real data

You're scaling headcount instead of systems

Every time the business grows, you hire someone to manage the complexity instead of building a system that absorbs it.

Est. $60–90k per manual hire that could be automated

What I Build

Five systems that replace manual work

Each one targets a specific type of operational drag. Most businesses need two or three.

AI Agents

Autonomous systems that handle repetitive operational tasks end-to-end — without anyone managing them.

Tap to see an example →

Data Intelligence

Turn the data your business already generates into dashboards, alerts, and insights that surface what actually matters.

Tap to see an example →

Custom AI Applications

Replace the Excel workflows and manual processes your team built to survive — with purpose-built tools that actually fit how you work.

Tap to see an example →

Business Chatbots

Chatbots that understand your business — trained on your data, your processes, and your language.

Tap to see an example →

Automation Systems

Connect your internal tools so data flows where it needs to go — without anyone pushing it there manually.

The Process

How Compass AI works

Three steps from "here's our problem" to "here's your system running."

Audit

1–2 days

I map your current workflows, find where time and data are getting lost, and identify exactly what to automate first for maximum impact.

This is built for you if...

Good fit

You have 10–200 employees and operational complexity is slowing you down
Your team is doing the same repetitive tasks every week and everyone knows it
You have data sitting in spreadsheets or tools that no one can easily access or analyze
You've thought about AI but don't know where it actually fits in your business
You're ready to invest in a system that pays for itself

Compass AI is probably not the right fit if...

You're looking for generic software that works out of the box
You want to automate before you've figured out your actual process
You're not willing to spend 2–3 hours walking through your workflows

The "not for you" list exists because I only take projects where I can genuinely help. If I'm not the right fit, I'll tell you on the call.

Questions I hear every time
