Respond to new leads
Capture the inquiry, draft a useful response, and get urgent jobs in front of the right person.
AI automation for businesses
Turn busywork into
clear next steps.
Connect the tools you already use so inquiries, follow-ups, and routine admin keep moving—even when you are doing something else.

Website inquiry / Sample lead L-1042
A lead arrives after hours.
From: Taylor Morgan Email: taylor@example.com “My water heater is leaking. Can someone come today? Please email me.”
Without a workflow: the inquiry waits in an inbox until someone notices it.
A proposed workflow using fictional data. Your tools and rules are agreed before the build.

- 01
Capture the inquiry
Name, request, and reply method become a lead record.
- 02

What changed
Ready. Run the example or use Next step to go at your own pace.
Tame the shared inbox
Sort routine messages, extract the details, and prepare replies for someone to approve.
Stop entering things twice
Move structured information into your spreadsheet or CRM, with checks for missing details.
Find the fit
Start with the job.
A good starting point is one repetitive task you can explain and measure. We agree what should happen automatically, what needs a person, and how failures should be handled.
Scope & pricing
Quickstart begins at $1,250 for one workflow. A $4,500 Sprint connects two or three workflows. Existing software subscriptions and any additional tool costs are discussed before work starts.

Put one useful workflow to work first.
Start on a fixed price and a clear scope. When a problem has a real number attached, it can be priced against that number instead. Hardware builds are quoted separately after the free consultation.

Priced on outcome
Outcome Partnership
For work where the problem already has a number attached. I measure what the broken process costs you each month, in writing, then price the fix as a share of that figure — so the invoice stays a fraction of what the problem costs you without it.
20–40%
of the monthly cost of the problem I remove
Illustrative pricing: an agreed $8,000/month improvement would carry a $1,600–3,200/month fee. This is a scenario, not a client result.
- We agree the baseline, data source, attribution, measurement period, and fee cap in writing before quoting
- Built for recurring, high-volume workflows — not one-off tasks
- Re-measured quarterly, so the price tracks the result
- Month to month. No long-term contract
Fixed-price packages use tools you already own where possible. Monthly support covers the named workflows and monitoring agreed in your scope. Investigation, changes, and support count toward the 2-hour allowance; additional work and new workflows are quoted separately. Software subscriptions and usage charges are separate. No long-term contracts — cancel monthly support anytime. Existing agreements retain their agreed terms.

One intake source, one destination, agreed routing, and an approved response method. From $1,250 when the scope fits. Acceptance checks cover missing details, duplicates, and failed handoffs.

Connected Follow-up Sprint
Two or three connected workflows, team training, and 30 days of tuning. $4,500 for an agreed scope. Historical cleanup, complex migrations, and custom apps are quoted separately.

Try your own numbers. See the result without sharing your email.
Clear ownership
Know what you receive.
Your quote identifies the hardware, accounts, source or workflow exports, documentation, and access included in the handoff. Third-party licenses and reusable Ahern AI components are explained separately.
After delivery
We agree acceptance checks, support hours, and how to request changes before work starts. Ongoing help is optional and scoped. Existing client agreements keep their agreed terms.
Prepare for your project →Before we start
Will AI send messages without my approval?
Only if that is part of the scope we agree. Drafts can wait for your review, while predictable routing and data entry run automatically.
Will I have to replace my current tools?
Usually we begin with what you already use. We check the available integrations before recommending a workflow.
What tools do you work with?
Common tools include Gmail and Outlook, Google Calendar, Calendly, spreadsheets, and automation platforms like Zapier and Make. The first step is checking how your existing tools can connect.
How fast can we launch?
The AI Quickstart is typically live in about 7 days. An Automation Sprint takes 2–3 weeks. We confirm the scope and timing after the free audit.
Do automation packages include custom software development?
The standard automation packages focus on connecting your existing tools and platforms. I also build custom software, including dashboards, client portals, and internal apps. Custom development is scoped and quoted separately through my websites and custom business tools service.
