What I build for local businesses

Custom AI for the work that eats your team's day.

Every local business has repetitive, manual jobs that drain hours every week. Here is where that time goes — and where it goes after.

The flagship: an AI receptionist that never misses a customer.

Most appointment businesses send after-hours and overflow texts to voicemail — and most of those people never call back. The AI receptionist answers in seconds, books a real appointment into your schedule, captures insurance if relevant, and escalates urgent requests to a human. It's the most-asked-for build, and the concrete proof of everything below.

Beyond the receptionist

Concrete AI builds for local businesses.

These are the jobs I'm asked to take off owners' plates most often. Each one is a real, scoped build — not a generic chatbot. If yours isn't listed, it's probably still a fit: if it's repetitive and rule-based, AI can likely handle it.

After-hours answering & booking

Half of inbound interest arrives after you close — evenings, weekends, lunch — and voicemail loses most of it. AI answers every text instantly, replies in your voice, and books a real appointment into your calendar so the lead is captured while it's hot.

Best for: dental, med-spa, salon, clinic, and any service business with after-hours demand.

Missed-call & no-show recovery

A missed call becomes a lost customer unless someone calls back within minutes — and that rarely happens. AI auto-texts every missed call within seconds to re-open the conversation, then runs no-show follow-ups that reschedule customers who slipped, recovering revenue you'd otherwise write off.

Best for: high call volume, full schedules, frequent no-shows.

Inbound lead qualification & routing

Front-desk time drains fast when staff has to triage tire-kickers from ready buyers. AI asks the right qualifying questions up front, captures what you need (service, insurance, timing, budget), then routes the hot leads to the right person and books the rest — so your team only touches conversations worth their time.

Best for: businesses where front-desk time is the bottleneck.

Review-request automation

Reviews drive local search rankings and new-customer trust, but consistently asking for them is the first task dropped when you're busy. AI sends a timed, personalized review request after each visit — at the right moment, to the right customer — so your reputation compounds without anyone remembering to do it.

Best for: anyone competing on Google/Maps local rankings.

FAQ & intake automation

Staff answer the same questions all day — hours, location, parking, pricing, what to bring — and re-key the same intake details into your system. AI handles those repeat questions accurately and collects intake info in the conversation, so your team starts every appointment with the data already in place.

Best for: high question volume and repetitive intake.

Recurring report & admin automation

Someone on your team spends hours each week pulling the same numbers, reconciling lists, or copying data between tools — work that never makes it onto anyone's job description but never stops. AI runs those recurring jobs on a schedule and drops the result where you need it, turning a standing chore into something that just shows up, done.

Best for: weekly reports, list reconciliation, data busywork.

How engagements work

A clear path from "what eats your time" to live and working.

Simple, low-risk, and direct. You work with the engineer the whole way — no account managers, no support queue, no enterprise red tape.

Scope

A short call to find one repetitive task worth automating. I confirm it's a real fit before anyone commits — if it isn't, I'll tell you.

Build

I build it to your business — your voice, your rules, your systems and existing number. Enterprise-grade engineering, HIPAA-aware where it needs to be.

Deploy

We go live as a 30-day pilot so you can judge it on your own numbers — with a one-click kill switch the whole time.

Support

I run and tune it after launch — you reach me directly. As it proves out, we expand to the next task on your list.

Why it's low-risk:
  • You work directly with the engineer who builds it
  • Every build starts as a 30-day pilot — decide on real results
  • HIPAA-aware — a signed BAA before we touch a record
  • Runs on your existing systems and phone number
  • One-click kill switch, any time
  • Enterprise-grade engineering, local-business pricing
