Why us
An agency you own the result from
One-time build. You keep everything.
You own everything we build
01One-time build fee — then the agents, workflows, credentials, and documentation are yours. BYOK means you pay the AI provider directly (usually $30–$150/mo), with no retainer and no subscription to us.
The repetitive work, off your team's plate
02Data entry, follow-up, scheduling, reporting — running itself around the clock, so the hours go back into revenue work.
Open-source spine, no lock-in
03We build on n8n, Make, and self-hosted infrastructure with any LLM you choose — GPT, Claude, Gemini, or a local model. Nothing proprietary holds your operations hostage, including us.
Veteran-owned accountability
04A service-disabled veteran-owned partner, not a faceless vendor. We stay embedded until the automation actually runs — and keeps running — then hand you a system your team can read and extend.

What we build
AI automation, end to end
Revenue operations
01Lead capture to invoice as one connected pipeline across your CRM, email, and accounting — every lead followed up in minutes, nothing re-keyed, nothing slipping through.
AI agents & chatbots
02Autonomous agents that qualify leads, resolve tickets, and book meetings 24/7, plus website chatbots grounded in your real content that respond in under a second.
Back-office automation
03Invoicing, onboarding, document processing, and approvals handled end-to-end — audit-logged by default, so compliance reviews stop being archaeology.
Reporting & dashboards
04Self-updating dashboards on the metrics that matter, with alerts on the thresholds you care about. The Friday report-building marathon disappears.

Questions
AI automation agency — FAQ
What does an AI automation agency do?
An AI automation agency designs, builds, and deploys systems that use AI and workflow tools to run repetitive business tasks — customer support, lead follow-up, data entry, reporting, scheduling — so your team stops doing them by hand. We map how your business actually operates, rank the opportunities by ROI, then build and launch the highest-payback automations, typically within 30 days.
How much does an AI automation agency cost?
AutomateNexus charges a one-time build fee — a typical project is $7,500, and a focused audit-plus-roadmap is $2,500. After launch, your only recurring cost is the AI model provider (usually $30–$150/month, paid directly to them under our BYOK model). There is no monthly retainer, no per-seat pricing, and no subscription to us. How fast a build pays back depends on your volumes — the ROI calculator on this site runs that math on your numbers.
How do I choose a good AI automation agency?
Look for one that audits before it advises, builds on open-source tools you can own, hands over credentials and documentation, and charges once instead of billing a perpetual retainer. Ask who owns the workflows after launch, whether you keep your own API keys, and how fast the first automation goes live. If the answer is 'we host it and you rent it,' you don't own your operations.
How is this different from hiring a developer or buying a SaaS tool?
A developer writes code you then have to maintain; a SaaS tool rents you a fixed feature set forever. We build a custom system on open standards, tuned to your process, and hand it to you outright — so you get software that fits exactly, with no per-seat fees and no vendor lock-in.
How fast can we go live, and do you work remotely?
Thirty days end-to-end through five phases — Discover, Design, Build, Launch, Optimize — with simple builds shipping in as little as five days. Discovery, build reviews, and training happen over video, so we deliver the same flat pricing and timeline to businesses anywhere in the U.S., not just the big metros.
