Nothing falls through.
You've run your business for years. You know exactly what needs to happen every day. There just isn't enough of you to do it all. This is an AI assistant that reads your email, keeps your follow-ups going, drafts your quotes and puts the urgent things on your phone. I set it up for you, and I keep it running.
For owners who are also the salesperson, the estimator and the one who answers the email. Contractors, machine shops, distributors, dealers, service companies and professional offices.
What you're actually getting
Think of a sharp office assistant who reads everything that comes in, remembers everything you've ever told them, and reminds you before it's too late. It runs on Claude, one of the leading AI systems, taught the rules of how your business works.
It lives on a small private server rented in your name at a secure data center, connected to the email, calendar and software you already use. Outlook, Gmail, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, QuickBooks, your CRM. Your information stays yours.
That's me. I built this for my own family's company first. I set yours up, teach it your rules, watch it, and fix it when it gets something wrong. You never touch the technical side.
It works with the tools you already pay for
Nothing gets replaced. The assistant sits in the middle of what you already use and works across it: it can read the email in Outlook, check a price in QuickBooks, look up the account in your CRM, and send the alert to your phone.
These are tools it can connect to today. If yours isn't pictured, ask. If the service offers a proper way to connect, it connects, and there is no cap on how many.
Nobody dropped the ball on purpose.
There were just more balls than hands.
- The quote you meant to send Monday went out Thursday.They had bought from someone else by Wednesday.
- The supplier answered a week ago.The customer is still waiting to hear from you.
- "Can you get back to me by Friday?"Sat on page three of the inbox until Saturday.
- The follow-up you promised yourself.Never happened, because the next fire did.
The same kind of morning, with the assistant on duty
Pick the business closest to yours and watch a Tuesday morning play out. When a draft is ready, it stops and waits for your OK, the way the real one does.
- Press Play to watch the morning.
The jobs it handles every day
These are the jobs it runs inside my own company. Yours gets the ones that fit how you work, and we add more as you come to trust it.
Manages your email
Sorts the noise from the money and flags anything with a date in it. A request with a deadline becomes an alert on your phone the same hour, not a surprise next week.
Keeps follow-ups going
A steady number of follow-ups every day, on the schedule you set, to the prospects you choose. It stops the moment someone replies, so nobody gets a form letter after they already wrote back.
Drafts your quotes and estimates
When a supplier's price lands, it builds your customer quote in your own format with your usual markup and puts it in Drafts, ready for you to send the same day.
Protects your customer relationships
It is given your customer list and checks it before every automated send, so an existing account is not treated like a stranger. Existing accounts stay out of automated lists unless you say otherwise.
Does the recurring paperwork
Expense reports, weekly activity summaries, the Monday numbers for the team, the reminder that the report is due on the 1st. Drafted on time from the real records.
Remembers what you tell it
Every promise, price, visit and "never call that supplier again" is kept in its notes on your server. Ask about a customer and get the answer, not a search.
You talk to it in plain English. It answers like it was paying attention.
Your phone buzzes only when it matters. A deadline, a hot reply, a quote ready to go. Not for every email.
Ask it anything about a customer. What did we quote them last time, at what price, who did we talk to, what did they say.
Tell it what to do in plain English. No menus, no forms, no new software to learn. It already knows your business.
Example conversation. The names are made up, the behavior is exact.
Small businesses where the owner is still the engine
Companies of roughly five to fifty people, where the owner sells, quotes, and answers the email on top of running the place. If your days are email, follow-ups, pricing and promises, this was built for you.
- Contractors and trades
- Machine shops and manufacturers
- Equipment dealers and distributors
- Industrial sales reps
- Service companies
- Real estate and insurance offices
- Consultants and small agencies
- Studios and family businesses
Who it's not for
Anyone hoping to replace their staff. It makes the people you have, starting with you, far harder to overwhelm. It does not run the company.
Anyone who wants it to send everything without ever looking. Routine jobs can run on their own once you're comfortable, but anything going to a customer should start with your approval.
Businesses that need it to work around another company's rules. It uses the front door of every service it connects to, or it doesn't connect.
Software companies sell you a tool and leave.
This comes with someone who runs it.
I build it, I watch it, and when it gets something wrong I write the rule so it never happens again. That is the service.
You own it
A small private server in your name, your own Claude subscription, your own private network. Your records live there, not on my systems. If we ever part ways, you keep everything.
You approve, until you don't need to
Every new job starts with you approving each action. When you trust it, you switch approval off for that job and it runs on its own. You decide how fast.
Nothing technical, ever
No computer setup, no configuration, no passwords sent to me. I will never ask you for one. You get a chat window on your phone and a buzz when something matters.
Your data stays private
The Claude setting that allows conversations to be used for training is turned off on day one, and everything the assistant knows lives on your server, not on a shared platform.
About two weeks from the first call to an assistant that knows your business
- 30 minutes
A phone call
You tell me how the business actually runs, what eats your day, and where you want it to check with you first. No preparation needed.
- Day 2 or 3
It interviews you
I set it up and it asks you the questions itself, in plain English, then writes its own understanding of your company. I review and shape it.
- Week one
Setup
Everything connected, the first jobs running, approval on for all of them. You start talking to it from your phone.
- Week two
Dial-in
Version one is always a little wrong. It learns who matters and what to flag, and we tighten the rules together.
- Day 15 on
It just runs
Monthly care covers the fixes, the new rule when something slips, and changes as your business changes.
Fixed prices, written down before any work starts
No long-term contract, no surprise charges, no hourly meter running. My fee and every outside cost are listed in your quote.
Personal assistant
$1,250one-time setup, then $200 a month care from day 31
For one person. Your inboxes, calendars and reminders, with a morning rundown of your day. The first 30 days of tuning after go-live are included.
- Usually running in about two weeks
- Care is month to month, stop any time
- No cap on how many of your apps get connected
Outside services you pay directly: your Claude subscription at $100 a month, and a small private server, roughly $7 to $15 a month depending on the size and term you pick, usually billed one or two years up front.
Business assistant
Quoteda fixed price after our call, before any work starts
Everything on this page. Email, follow-ups, quoting, customer protection, recurring reports and the memory of your whole business, with me on call to run it.
- Scoped to the jobs that matter in your company
- Care priced for the hours it really takes
- Same ownership: your server, your accounts, your data
Same outside services. A busier setup may call for a larger server, still in the same price range. The written quote lists every cost, mine and theirs, so there is nothing hidden.
About the server
The assistant runs on a small rented Linux server, the kind any hosting company sells. The size depends on the package: one person's assistant fits the smallest plan, a busy company's assistant gets the next size up. As of October 2026 that runs about $7 to $15 a month, billed by the provider, usually one or two years up front. I'll recommend one and you buy it in your name.
Already have a server, or a provider you prefer? That works too. It needs to be a Linux server with at least 4 GB of memory and root access so I can install and secure what the assistant needs.
Also available: a website like this one
If your business needs a clean one-page site, or a new one, I build it the same way I built this page: fast to load, easy to read on a phone, written in plain English, with your domain in your name. Hosting costs nothing, and once your assistant is running it can keep the site's details current.
Fixed price, quoted after the call. Usually about a week.
My prices are firm. Prices from outside companies are theirs, current as of October 2026, and can change. If you remember something small halfway through the build, it goes in at no extra charge. A big new job gets its own written quote before any work starts.
I didn't build this to sell it. I built it because I was the bottleneck in my own company.
I sell presses and automation for my family's industrial equipment company. Small team, a sales territory, and for years the job was a hundred open loops and a phone that never stopped. So I put an assistant on a server, connected it to everything, and taught it the rules of the business one miss at a time.
Every rule it follows today came from something that slipped once. A quote that sat. A follow-up that went to someone who had already replied. A deadline I found too late. Each one became a check it runs on every job, every time.
That is what you're paying for. Not the software, which is Claude and a server. The rules, and someone who keeps writing them.
Straight answers
What is an AI assistant, in plain terms?
A program that can read, write and keep notes, connected to your email, calendar and files so it can act on them. The difference between this and the chatbots you've seen is that this one is set up around your business, keeps its notes, and has a person managing it.
Which AI is it?
Claude, made by Anthropic, running on a server rented in your name with a Claude subscription in your name. The setting that allows conversations to be used for training is turned off on day one.
Can it see my email?
Yes, that is the job. It reads your mail on your server, in your account. I have administrator access to that server so I can fix things, and I look only when you've asked me to. I will never ask you for a password.
Will it send things without asking?
Not until you say so. Every job starts in approval mode. When you're comfortable, you switch routine jobs to run on their own and keep approval on for anything that goes to a customer.
Do I need to be good with computers?
No. If you can send a text message, you can use it. There is nothing to install on your computer and nothing to configure. I handle all of that.
What does it connect to?
Whatever you run the business on, as long as it offers a proper way to connect. Outlook or Gmail, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, your calendar, your CRM, QuickBooks, your files, your chat app. There is no cap on how many.
Can I use my own server?
Yes. Any Linux server with at least 4 GB of memory and root access works, whether it's one you already rent or a provider you prefer. If you'd rather not deal with it, I recommend one and you buy it in your name. Either way it is yours.
What if I don't like it?
Care is month to month. You own the server and the accounts, so if you stop, nothing disappears and nothing is held hostage.
What happens when it gets something wrong?
It will, especially in the first weeks. You tell me, I find out why, and I write the rule that stops it from happening again.
Where are you?
Middle Tennessee. Everything on this page is done remotely, so where you are doesn't matter.
