AI Agents That Run While You Sleep

We fund the builds, the integrations, the iteration. You own the systems. We split incremental revenue over two years.

Most automation projects die in a Notion board. The reason isn't technical. It's capital allocation. You need someone writing prompts, mapping workflows, testing agents, debugging API handoffs. That's 20-40 hours a week for three months, then maintenance forever. We fund that labor. You fund nothing upfront. When the agents start saving time or closing deals, we take a percentage of the revenue lift for 24 months. Then you own the infrastructure outright.

We run this across Irvine, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Anaheim, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach, Fullerton, and Orange. Click any city below for local operator details and examples.

Why Orange County

Orange County founders operate in a strange margin trap. Labor costs are high. Talent is scarce. But the businesses themselves—manufacturing, logistics, professional services, medical practices—generate enough revenue to justify serious automation. The gap is deployment capital.

A prompt engineer costs $8K/month. A workflow architect costs $12K. An API integrations specialist costs $10K. You need all three for 90 days to build anything non-trivial. That's $90K before you know if the agent even works. We've watched founders defer these projects for years because the upfront cost doesn't fit the budget cycle, even when the ROI is obvious.

OC also has weird infrastructure. Lots of businesses run on legacy CRMs, custom databases, old ERP systems. Automation here isn't plug-and-play Zapier. It's Python scripts, Make scenarios, middleware layers, Claude API calls wrapped in custom functions. You need people who can code and think through logic trees. We pay them. You get the output.

How We Partner

We deploy operating capital to fund your automation buildout. That covers prompt engineering, workflow design, agent architecture, integration work, testing cycles, documentation, training your team. You fund zero upfront. No retainer. No hourly fees.

Revenue share starts when the agents go live and we can measure impact. If an agent closes deals, we split a percentage of those deals. If it saves 30 hours a week, we estimate the labor value and take a cut of that. We track it in a shared sheet. Terms run 24 months. After that, you own the systems and pay us nothing.

We're not an agency. We don't bill hours. We're a capital partner. Our incentive is building automations that actually compound. If the agent doesn't work, we eat the cost. If it works, we both win.

What's Included

Custom Claude Agents

We build agents that handle specific jobs: qualify leads, draft proposals, route support tickets, summarize sales calls, update CRMs. Each agent is a Claude instance with a custom system prompt, memory layer, and action tools. We write the prompts, map the logic, test edge cases.

Workflow Automation

Make, Zapier, n8n—we use whatever fits your stack. Trigger-based sequences that move data between tools, update records, send notifications, generate reports. We map the workflows, build the scenarios, handle error logic.

Sales Sequences

Automated email sequences, follow-up triggers, lead scoring, pipeline updates. We integrate with your CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, whatever), build the sequences, test deliverability, track performance.

Data Pipelines

Moving data between systems without manual exports. API connections, ETL scripts, scheduled syncs. We write the code, set up the cron jobs, monitor for breaks.

Agent Training and Iteration

Agents get dumber without feedback loops. We run weekly reviews, refine prompts based on output quality, add new tools as needs evolve. Continuous improvement over 24 months.

Documentation and Handoff

Everything we build gets documented. Prompt libraries, workflow diagrams, API credentials, maintenance runbooks. When the term ends, you have a manual for the next operator.

24-Month Outcomes

  • First agent live within 30-45 days, handling a repeatable task that currently burns team hours
  • 3-5 workflow automations deployed by month three, eliminating manual data entry or routing steps
  • Sales sequence infrastructure generating qualified pipeline without SDR labor by quarter two
  • Lead response time drops below 5 minutes via agent triage and routing
  • 10-20 hours per week reclaimed from admin work, redirected to revenue tasks
  • CRM data quality improves as agents auto-populate fields and flag gaps
  • Custom reporting dashboards that update daily without manual exports

Common Questions

Do you work with our existing software stack or require new tools?

We work with your stack. If you're on HubSpot, Salesforce, QuickBooks, whatever—we integrate there. We only recommend new tools if there's a structural gap, and even then, we justify the cost against labor savings.

What if the agent doesn't perform as expected?

We iterate until it does, or we kill it. We don't get paid unless the automation delivers measurable impact. If an agent consistently underperforms, we eat the cost and move to the next build.

Who owns the agents and automations after 24 months?

You do. Full ownership. All code, prompts, workflows, credentials. We document everything so your next hire can maintain it.

How do you measure revenue impact for non-sales automations?

Time saved, errors reduced, tasks eliminated. We convert those into dollar values based on your team's hourly cost or contractor rates. If an agent saves 15 hours a week and your team member costs $40/hour loaded, that's $2,400/month in value. We split a percentage of that.

Can we start with one agent and expand?

Yes. Most partnerships start with a single high-impact use case. Once that's live and performing, we layer in more agents and workflows. Buildout accelerates as we learn your systems.

Do you require access to sensitive business data?

Only what's necessary to build the automations. We sign NDAs, use role-based permissions, and don't store data we don't need. Most integrations pull data via API with scoped access, not full database dumps.
