AI Agents & Workflow Automation · For Ops-Heavy Teams

Hire one AI agent.
Replace 20 hours of ops work per week.

Most "AI implementations" are off-the-shelf chatbots trained on nothing. I build custom GPT agents that know your product, your policies, and your order data — and Zapier workflows that quietly automate the repetitive ops work eating your team's calendar.

The Reality

Most "AI" tools you've tried are
shallow demos.

A real AI agent doesn't just answer "what are your hours?" It pulls live order data, applies your return policy, escalates the edge cases, and logs every interaction so you can audit it. That's the gap.

Where most "AI rollouts" land

  • A generic ChatGPT widget that hallucinates your refund policy
  • Zaps that break silently every time an API updates
  • $200/mo SaaS tools that solve 5% of your actual workflow
  • No logging, no audit trail, no idea what the agent told customers
  • A team that quietly stops using it after week three

What I build instead

  • +Agents trained on your FAQ, policies, and live order data
  • +Hardened Zapier/Make flows with error handling + Slack alerts
  • +Custom UIs over GPT — not iframe chatbots that scream "AI"
  • +Full audit log of every conversation, every action, every decision
  • +Human handoff built in — the agent knows when to escalate
The Build

Three things I build. All of them ship.

01

Custom GPT Support Agents

A ChatGPT-powered agent trained on your FAQ, return policy, product catalog, and order data. Handles 70–85% of inbound tickets autonomously. Escalates the rest with full context.

02

Zapier & Make Workflows

End-to-end automation for the repetitive work eating your team's calendar — lead routing, order sync, review collection, inventory alerts. With proper error handling.

03

AI-Powered Internal Tools

Internal dashboards with GPT baked in: drafting customer emails, summarizing call transcripts, generating product descriptions, triaging support tickets — purpose-built for your workflow.

Flagship Build

An ops team's "secret hire" that never sleeps.

A US B2B brand was burning 22 hours/week on inbound support — most of it the same five questions about order status, returns, and shipping. Two weeks later, a custom GPT agent trained on their full FAQ, order data, and return policy was handling 81% of those tickets autonomously, with full audit logs and clean handoff to humans for the rest.

The Engagement

Three steps. Two weeks. Real ROI math.

01

Workflow Audit

We map the repetitive work eating your team's calendar — support tickets, lead routing, order processing, content generation. I tell you which slots are genuinely AI-shaped and which aren't.

02

Build & Train

Custom agent or workflow built and trained on your data. Sandbox testing with your real edge cases — not generic prompts. You see and approve every conversation before it goes live.

03

Deploy & Tune

Go live with full logging, error alerts to Slack, and a 30-day tuning window where I refine prompts and handoff logic based on real conversations.

FAQs

The questions every operator asks first.

Will the AI agent hallucinate or say wrong things to customers? +
Properly built agents using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) only respond from your approved knowledge base — not from the open internet. They're explicitly instructed to say "I'll get a human to help" when a question falls outside that base. And every conversation is logged for audit.
Which AI model do you use? +
Depends on the use case. GPT-4o for most conversational support agents. Claude for longer reasoning and document-heavy work. For high-volume, low-complexity tasks I'll often use cheaper models (GPT-4o-mini, Claude Haiku) to keep your monthly token spend reasonable.
What's the monthly cost to run after launch? +
Typically $20–$300/month in API + tool costs depending on volume. A support agent handling 1,000 tickets/month usually lands around $40–$80 in token costs. I'll show you the math on the audit call so you know what you're signing up for.
Can the agent take actions (issue refunds, update orders)? +
Yes — with guardrails. We define exactly what actions the agent can take autonomously (e.g. order status lookup) vs. what requires human approval (e.g. refunds over $X). Every action is logged.
What does a typical build cost? +
Custom GPT agents typically land $3K–$8K. Zapier/Make workflows $1.5K–$4K depending on complexity. AI-powered internal tools $4K–$15K. You'll get a fixed quote after the audit call.
