AI Agents and Workflow Automation
AI agents and workflow automation is software that reads your data, decides what should happen next, and then does it. A person no longer copies information between tools by hand. We build the specific agents your team needs in n8n, Make, Temporal, or custom code, connect them to the systems you already run, and keep them working after launch. Projects start from $25,000.

AI agents and automated workflows, built to run in production
An AI agent, in this context, is a small piece of software. It reads a piece of information, such as an email, a support ticket, or a line in a spreadsheet. It decides what should happen to that information, and then it does that thing: it updates a record, sends a message, routes a task, or flags it for a human. Workflow automation is the plumbing around the agent. It is the tool that moves data between your systems and calls the agent at the right step. n8n, Make, Temporal, and plain custom code are the four we use most. Which one fits depends on the workflow, not on a preference.
Most companies end up with 20 to 30 SaaS tools and a scatter of Zaps holding them together. The gap between the tools is where a person's time goes. Someone copies a status from project management into the CRM. Someone pulls numbers from one report into another. Someone re-types what a support ticket said into a billing system. That work is repetitive by definition, and repetitive work is exactly what can be automated with an agent that reads the same fields a person would read and acts on them the same way.
This is a project, not a subscription to a platform. We design the agent. We write and test the logic. We wire it into your existing systems with your data. We hand over something that keeps running after we are gone: source code in your repository, or a workflow in your own n8n or Make account, plus a way to see what it did and why.
When this is the right service
- Your team spends real hours a week on high-volume repetitive work in operations, sales, customer success, finance, or HR, and a Zapier or Make setup built for simple data-moving has hit its limit.
- You tried building agents in-house and now maintain a system nobody fully understands.
- You need agents that take real action, such as classifying, routing, or escalating to a human when unsure. You do not need a chatbot that only answers questions.
- You are moving off Zapier or Make onto something more capable, and you want the architecture decided before you commit engineering time.
- You can name the workflow that costs the most human time right now: invoice processing, lead enrichment, support ticket triage, compliance review, contract redlining, or something like them.
If your problem is documents arriving in bulk that need to be read, extracted, and routed, rather than a multi-step process across tools, start at AI Document Processing instead. This page covers the second kind of problem.
What a project includes
A typical engagement covers 1 to 4 specific high-value workflows, scoped to the size of the problem:
| Tier | Price | Timeline | Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single workflow | $25,000 to $50,000 | 4 to 6 weeks | 1 workflow, up to 8 integrations, up to 3 AI decision points |
| Multi-workflow | $50,000 to $100,000 | 6 to 10 weeks | 2 to 3 connected workflows, up to 15 integrations, up to 8 AI decision points |
| Department-wide | $100,000 to $150,000 | 10 to 12 weeks | 4+ workflows for one department, up to 25 integrations, up to 15 AI decision points |
| Ongoing maintenance | $2,500 to $7,500 / month | Monthly, optional | Health checks, tuning, vendor upgrade support |
Every tier includes the same five project stages, no matter its size:
- Workflow audit. We identify the 1 to 4 highest-value repetitive tasks in your team's workflow, based on how often they happen and how much time each one costs.
- Architecture design. A written decision on which tool to use (n8n, Make, Temporal, or custom code), exactly what each agent is and is not allowed to do, how you will see what it is doing, and what happens when something breaks.
- Build. Full implementation inside your environment. Code lives in your repository or in your own n8n or Make account, never ours.
- Human-in-the-loop fallback. Any action that cannot be undone, such as a payment, a deletion, or a message sent externally, waits for a human to approve it. Anything reversible, the agent does on its own.
- Logs you can audit. Every action is logged. Every decision can be traced back to the prompt version that produced it. You can replay any run.
Tier detail
Single workflow ($25,000 to $50,000, 4 to 6 weeks)
For one high-value task your team repeats often. Examples: invoice processing, lead routing, support ticket triage, and compliance review of one document type.
What's included:
- Discovery session (2 hours) and a written process map of the task as it works today.
- Architecture document: which tool we use, why, and how it fits your existing stack.
- Up to 8 system integrations (CRM, email, Slack, billing, internal database, and similar).
- Up to 3 AI decision points in the workflow (for example: classify intent, pick a route, escalate to a human).
- A logging dashboard so you can audit what the agent did and why.
- Acceptance test on 100 of your real sample inputs (see below).
- 2 weeks of post-launch tuning.
- Source code delivered into your repository. You own it outright.
Multi-workflow ($50,000 to $100,000, 6 to 10 weeks)
For 2 to 3 connected workflows where the output of one becomes the input of the next. Example: an inbound lead arrives, gets enriched, gets routed, and triggers first-touch outreach.
Everything in Single workflow, plus:
- 2 to 3 workflows that share state and pass data to each other.
- Up to 15 system integrations.
- Up to 8 AI decision points across the workflows.
- Cross-workflow observability: you see the full journey a piece of work took, not just one step of it.
- Workflow-level error handling and retry logic.
- 4 weeks of post-launch tuning.
Department-wide ($100,000 to $150,000, 10 to 12 weeks)
For 4 or more workflows that cover one department end-to-end. Example: all of customer support, all of accounts payable, or all of sales operations.
Everything in Multi-workflow, plus:
- 4 or more workflows for one department.
- Up to 25 system integrations.
- Up to 15 AI decision points.
- A department-level dashboard: a manager's view of how every agent is performing.
- Custom alerts routed to your team when an agent needs human review.
- A training session for the department on what to expect from the system and how to give feedback on it.
- 6 weeks of post-launch tuning.
Ongoing maintenance ($2,500 to $7,500 per month)
Optional. Your team can also run its own maintenance after handoff, since you own the source code.
What's included:
- Monthly health check report: success rate, drift, error patterns, and what is degrading.
- Up to 4 hours of prompt and workflow tuning per month.
- Vendor and model upgrade support (an AI provider ships a new model, or n8n changes a connector).
- Same-week response when something stops working.
- A quarterly, 1-hour architecture review.
How the acceptance test and guarantee work
Every project is accepted or rejected by a written test, not a judgment call. The mechanics are agreed before we start:
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Agree the target | Before the build starts, we agree the success rate the agent must hit, usually 85 to 95 percent depending on the workflow. |
| 2. Collect real inputs | We use 100 of your actual sample inputs, not synthetic test cases. |
| 3. Run it live, together | The test is written into the contract and run with you watching. No pass-fail decision happens behind closed doors. |
| 4. Pass | The final invoice goes out. |
| 5. Miss the target | We rebuild the workflow at our own cost until it hits the agreed number. |
Payment terms
50 percent on contract signing, 25 percent at the project midpoint, 25 percent on acceptance. INR pricing is available on request for India-based clients.
