How we help your business

Stop doing the same task twice

Small businesses lose hours every week to lead follow-up, scheduling, data entry, invoicing and reporting. We start with the jobs that eat the most time and cost the least to fix.

Every lead gets an instant text or email, lands in your CRM, and you get a reminder

Booking

Phone tag and no-shows

A booking link, automatic confirmations and no-show reminders

Invoicing

Chasing unpaid invoices by hand

Job done, invoice sent, and a friendly reminder if it's unpaid

Reviews

Forgetting to ask happy customers

Every finished job gets a thank-you and a Google review request

Customer questions

Answering the same questions all day

How we work with you

We build it, or we teach you to

Most clients start with done-for-you. Some want to learn the skills themselves. Both are welcome, and both come with optional monthly support.

Done for you

Automation setup

We build, test and hand off your automations, then support them monthly if you want.

  • Built on accounts you own
  • Recorded walkthrough of everything
  • One-page handoff sheet for how it all works
  • Error alerts so nothing fails silently

Done with you

Learn to build your own

Hands-on coaching sessions that take you from zero to building your own automations. Most people stop at step 2, and that's a win.

  1. Set up ChatGPT or Claude the right way
  2. Build your own AI assistant on your documents
  3. Create no-code automations with Zapier, Make or n8n
  4. Use the terminal and AI coding tools

Custom AI assistant

Your own AI, trained on your business

A Claude Project or custom GPT loaded with your services, pricing, FAQs, policies and past emails, so it answers the way you would. Tested on 10 real questions before you use it. Need data to stay on your computer? We can set up a private AI that runs locally.

Monthly support

We keep it running

Optional, month to month. Fixes when something breaks, small tweaks, a monthly check-in, and one new small automation every quarter. Bigger new builds are quoted separately.

Why Amur AI

Built right, handed off, yours to keep

Plenty of people can connect a few apps. We set it up so it keeps working after we leave, and so you understand what you paid for.

  1. Local, in person or remote

    Based in Chicago and happy to meet around the city. Remote video sessions work anywhere in the US.

  2. A fixed quote before any work

    A one-page plan with exactly what we'll build, the price, and the handoff date. Half up front, half when it works and you sign off.

  3. You own everything

    Every automation is built on your accounts. When the project ends, our access ends.

  4. We teach, not just build

    A recorded walkthrough, a handoff sheet, and you run each automation yourself while we watch.

  5. The simplest tool that works

    Built-in app features first, then Zapier or Make, then ChatGPT or Claude, and custom code only when it's needed. Fewer moving parts, fewer surprises.

  6. Tested before you see it

    Built in a test copy first, never on your live data, and run 5+ times with real-looking data.

How it works

Four stops from busywork to done

Every project follows the same route, so you always know what happens next and when the work is finished.

  1. Stop 1 · Free

    Audit call

    30 minutes. We find the 2–3 tasks costing you the most time.

  2. Stop 2

    Plan and price

    A one-page plan with exactly what we'll build, the price, and the date it's done.

  3. Stop 3

    Build and train

    We build it, test it on real data, then you run it yourself while we watch.

  4. Stop 4 · Optional

    Monthly support

    Fixes, tweaks, check-ins, and a new small automation every quarter.

Pricing

Clear prices, quoted up front

Every project starts with a free audit. You get a fixed quote before any work starts. Half up front, half when it's working and you've signed off.

Your data

Your business stays yours

We follow the same rules on every project.

You own the accounts

Everything is built on your accounts. When we finish, our access ends.

Secure logins

Passwords are shared only through a password manager, never by text or email. Two-factor authentication on every account we touch.

Sensitive data stays out

No card numbers, Social Security numbers, bank details or health records go into AI tools.

One-step off switch

Every automation can be paused by you in one step.

Questions

Good to know

Don't see yours? Ask it in the form below.

Do I need to be good with technology?

No. If you can use email and a phone, you can use what we build. We train you step by step and leave you a recorded walkthrough.

What tools do you use?

Mostly what you already have: Gmail or Outlook, Google Calendar, Sheets, your CRM or booking app, plus ChatGPT or Claude and automation tools like Zapier, Make or n8n. We pick the simplest tool that does the job.

How long does a project take?

Personal setups usually take a week or less. Business projects usually take one to three weeks, depending on how many automations and apps are involved. You get a handoff date in your plan.

What happens if something breaks?

Every automation sends an alert if it fails. With monthly support, we fix it. Without it, we quote the fix before doing any work.

Can you build "my own AI"?

Yes, in the way that's useful for most people: a custom AI assistant that knows your services, pricing, FAQs and writing style, built on your own documents. For data that can't leave your computer, we can set up a private AI that runs locally.

Do you only work in Chicago?

We're based in Chicago and happy to meet in person around the city. Remote sessions over video work anywhere in the US.
