Our story
Built on a grudge against subscription software.
Est. 2025 · Seattle, Washington
AutomateNexus LLC
AutomateNexus was founded in 2025 by Erin Moore — a U.S. Army veteran with an Executive MBA, an MS in Data Science, and a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. After years of watching small businesses overpay for automation platforms that locked them into monthly fees, he built the agency around a simple principle: you pay once, you own everything, and you never get a surprise subscription bill.
From Seattle, we build custom AI automation systems — workflows, AI agents, CRM integrations, chatbots, and data pipelines — for small and mid-sized businesses across legal, home services, real estate, healthcare, and e-commerce. Every build runs on open-source tools under a BYOK model: your keys, your accounts, your data, from day one.

What we stand on
Four values. Zero fine print.
The same principles, on every
engagement, at every size.
01
Ownership
You pay once and own everything — workflows, infrastructure, credentials, documentation. We build on open-source tools with your own API keys, so nothing is held hostage to a vendor. Or to us.
02
Discipline
Army logistics taught us that systems fail at the edge cases. Every build is tested against the messy reality of your operations — not the clean demo path.
03
Transparency
One build fee, published up front. AI costs paid directly to the model provider at their published rates. No markup, no bundling, no surprise line items.
04
Partnership
We embed with your team through Discover, Design, Build, Launch, and Optimize. No account managers between you and the people doing the work.
In the press
Covered, not self-declared.

its one-time-fee model.
