The 5-Hour Launch Build. One fixed-scope custom automation build.
Stop losing time to missed calls, slow follow-up, and repetitive admin that pulls you away from customers. We build custom AI automations around your existing tools so the routine work gets handled with less manual effort.
Booking sends scheduling details and requested follow-up about this workflow. You are not opted into launch marketing unless you ask for it.
Pre-Build Fit Pledge: If it is not a fit, I will say so before you spend money.

The 5-Hour Launch Guarantee
If the scoped build does not save at least 5 hours per week in the measured workflow within 30 days of launch, I refund the scoped build fee you paid and you keep the delivered build.
Quick answer
It is a no-pressure planning call for Ottawa business owners who want one repeated task off their plate. You bring the work your team keeps doing by hand; I help decide whether AI, simpler automation, or no build is the right next step.
If missed calls, booking changes, email inquiries, follow-up, and handoffs keep dragging you back into the business after the day should be done, the problem is not discipline. The old way asks people to remember, retype, chase, and copy the same details until something slips.

Missed request
A call, email inquiry, booking change, or form arrives while your team is busy.
Manual chasing
Someone has to remember, retype, ask for missing details, and update another tool.
Custom AI automation
The repeated steps are shaped around your real process and current tools.
Clean next action
Your team reviews the exception, sends the reply, books the job, or moves on.
Most workers spend hours every week on small tasks that never stop: retyping, chasing, and copying. The free call finds one of those on your plate that's worth automating first.

That's real working time you could spend with customers, on the road, or off the clock. The free call checks whether one task on your plate has the right shape to give you that time back.
On the call we map one repeated task and decide if a build can credibly clear five hours a week.
Most small businesses lose 5 to 10 hours a week to tasks that look small but never stop: retyping details, chasing replies, copying between tools. The best first build targets one of those -- a repeated workflow with clear inputs, clear handoffs, and enough volume to matter.

The goal is not to remove your team. It is to remove the repeated admin between the request and the next useful action.
An example of the pattern, not a real client. The call confirms if your work matches.
No prep deck. Bring one repeated task you keep returning to. In 30 minutes I will tell you whether it is worth automating, what the smallest useful build looks like, and what it costs.
One workflow eliminated. Not another retainer.
If the workflow is worth automating, the paid project is fixed-scope, one price, and handed over to you.
Every build is scoped before payment. If there is a fit, you will know the workflow, fixed scope, price, launch window, and guarantee before any paid work starts.
A fixed-scope build that removes one repeated workflow from daily manual handling, with AI doing the repetitive steps and staff reviewing exceptions.
A walkthrough and short operating guide for the people who will run it, approve edge cases, and know when to step in.
A 30-day post-launch tune-up window to adjust the workflow after real use exposes small fixes.
The working setup, documentation, and access handoff so the AI automation stays with your business.
The value is the weekly owner and staff attention that stops leaking into the same manual steps.
No retainer. Nothing else to buy. One useful workflow shipped and handed over.
The workflow call confirms the repeated work, the smallest useful build, and whether it is worth paying for before you pay.
Every build is scoped before payment. If there is a fit, you will know the workflow, fixed scope, price, launch window, and guarantee before any paid work starts.
If the scoped build does not save at least 5 hours per week in the measured workflow within 30 days of launch, I refund the scoped build fee you paid and you keep the delivered build.
You own the build. I transfer access at handoff and step out.
No open-ended revision loop. No broad satisfaction promise. The scope, measurement window, and handoff are agreed before build work starts.
Founder-led builds are scoped one at a time because I am the person reviewing the workflow, shaping the build, and handing it over.
Common questions
30 minutes, free, no pressure. You describe the pain point. I tell you whether AI automation is the right fix and roughly what it'll cost. If a simpler workflow is the better answer, I'll say so, and tell you that too.
The First 5 approved-fit clients can get the scoped workflow build free. Clients 6 through 20 use the $1,997 Founding 20 launch rate for the first approved workflow build. After the first 20, new builds move to the $4,997 standard rate.
None. I handle all the technical work. You get a 15-minute walkthrough and a plain-English doc. If you can send an email, you can run what I build.
Almost certainly. Gmail, Sheets, Square, Stripe, QuickBooks, Calendly, most phone systems. If you use something unusual, we confirm before you pay anything.
No new SaaS is the default. The build starts inside the tools you already pay for, then the tool-stack review names what stays, what merges, and what to drop before adding anything new.
The Busywork Sprint is built, tested, launched, and handed off within the 30-day guarantee window. The workflow call confirms the launch window before any paid work starts.
Yes. The build runs inside client-owned tools where feasible. Intake details and project delivery still pass through Ottawa Automates systems to scope, schedule, and hand off the work. When the project is done, I transfer ownership and remove my access.
The 5-Hour Launch Build
Bring the calls, appointments, email inquiries, admin handoffs, or repeated work that keeps pulling attention. The conversation is for deciding whether AI or simpler automation is the right fix and what a useful first build could look like. If there is no good fit, I will say so.
Booking sends scheduling details and requested follow-up about this workflow. You are not opted into launch marketing unless you ask for it.
