NYC has 183,000+ small businesses — and 91% of SMBs using AI report revenue increases (median $7,500 saved annually). You wear every hat: sales, ops, billing, marketing, customer support. We deploy affordable AI agents + ops-in-a-box setups that recover 20+ hours a week — at a price a real small business can afford.

What NYC operators tell us
Pain points in small business
The manual work that eats your team's week. We've seen these patterns across NYC operators — and we've automated all of them.
Wearing too many hats
You're the owner, salesperson, bookkeeper, customer support, and social media manager. The workday is 12 hours. The weekend is more work. Burnout is real. Hiring isn't an option yet.
Manual admin overload
Invoicing, scheduling, follow-ups, data entry — 20+ hours a week of work that doesn't grow the business. You can't bill for it; you can't skip it. It's the silent killer of small business growth.
Limited tech budget
Big-name AI agencies want $50K+ engagements. You have $2K–$5K to spend, max. You're not cheap — you're practical. You need real ROI in 90 days or you can't justify it.
No time to learn new tools
Even if you bought the AI tools, when would you set them up? You're running the business. You need someone to build it for you — and hand over keys, not lock you in.
What we deploy
AI solutions that actually fit
Concrete applications of AI for NYC small business businesses. Each one ships in 7–14 days, runs in your environment, and includes human-in-the-loop fallback.
Affordable AI agents
Our Starter tier is $297/mo + $2,500 setup — a real small-business price. You get one custom AI agent (lead qualifier, customer support, scheduler) deployed in 7–14 days.
Ops-in-a-box setup
We set up the 3 highest-ROI automations for your business in 14 days: lead response, invoicing, and customer follow-up. You walk away with documented workflows you can run yourself.
Phased automation roadmap
We give you a 12-month roadmap with 3 phases: phase 1 = quick wins (under $5K), phase 2 = growth (under $10K), phase 3 = scale (custom). You decide when to invest — no pressure, no upsell.
Self-serve after handoff
We document everything in plain English (Notion + Loom videos). After 30 days, you can run and extend the automation yourself — or keep us on a low-cost monthly retainer. Your call.

The challenge
A 4-person family bakery was spending 25+ hours a week on invoicing, customer follow-ups, and order management. The owner was working 70-hour weeks and considering closing — not because business was bad, but because admin was killing them.
The solution
We deployed a $2,500 Starter engagement: one custom AI agent for order follow-ups + a simple invoicing workflow + a customer reactivation SMS campaign. Total time to deploy: 9 days.
The result
The owner recovered 22 hours a week — and finally took a Sunday off for the first time in 4 years. Reactivation campaign brought back 18 lapsed catering customers ($4,200 in new revenue in month 1). Year-one ROI: 340% on the $2,500 setup.
“I was about to close the bakery — not because we weren't busy, but because I was drowning. AI AutoMationNY gave me 22 hours of my week back for $2,500. Best money I've ever spent.”
— Rosa P., Owner
