[Workflow automation](#workflow-automation)[Connected business systems](#connected-systems)[AI assistants](#ai-assistants)[Websites and applications](#websites-applications) ### AI systems and implementation services These are services offered. Published web prices give a starting point; systems work is scoped to the workflow. Live sites and illustrative demos are labeled. 01 #### Workflow automation Reduce repetitive administrative work. Workflow automation connects inboxes, forms, and systems through a defined process so routine work moves without repeated retyping or forwarding. For owners and operations teams handling recurring requests, follow-ups, or reports. Start with a stable process and a person who owns its exceptions. Keep unusual or consequential decisions under human review. [Build and measure a repeatable workflow →](https://andrewheldy.dev/resources/ai-basics/lesson-6) Examples of this kind of work: - Turn incoming requests into assigned tasks - Draft routine replies for a person to review - Generate recurring reports from existing data Workflow Automation: Custom scope after discovery What may be included Possible features depend on scope: - Email processing - Form workflows - Automated reporting - CRM automation - Document generation - Data extraction - AI-assisted support - Internal knowledge workflows - Multi-step automations [Describe the repetitive work →](https://andrewheldy.dev/start?service=automation) Scope depends on workflows, integrations, and risk.

Connected business systems bring records and actions from existing tools into a shared view, so owners and teams can see status and act without copying between systems. For businesses whose work is spread across spreadsheets, group messages, and separate software. Agree which source owns each record and who may see or change it before adding another interface. [How AI uses approved business context →](https://andrewheldy.dev/learn#your-business) Examples of this kind of work: - An operations dashboard over existing records - A shared view of requests, status, and owners - An admin portal in place of spreadsheets and group texts Internal Tools & Custom Systems: Custom scope after discovery What may be included Possible features depend on scope: - Operations dashboards - Admin portals - Customer portals - Reporting - Fleet management - Asset management - Lead systems - Internal databases - Custom business applications [Describe how the work happens today →](https://andrewheldy.dev/start?service=dashboard) Scope follows users, data sources, integrations, and access needs. Illustrative schematic · simulated data 03 #### AI assistants Support customer inquiries and internal operations. An AI assistant helps people find answers and draft work from approved company information. Staff review outputs where accuracy, access, or consequences require it. For teams repeatedly searching policies and records or answering the same kinds of questions. An assistant needs current source material and access boundaries. If a rule-based workflow solves the task, an agent may add unnecessary complexity.

Business websites and applications give visitors or staff a clear way to book, request, or act. AI features are included where the task and review process justify them. For businesses needing a clear digital entry point or a custom application around a defined task. A single offer may need only a landing page. Booking, payments, data access, and AI features are scoped separately.

Bring the problem you can name. The first conversation establishes the workflow, its owner, and the constraints. A defined build can be scoped directly; uncertain work across systems may need an Audit first. Implementation and training are separate scoped work.
