AI AGENTS & AUTOMATION
AI agents that do the work you keep putting off.
Custom agents and automations that answer your customers, chase your leads, and clear the repetitive work off your plate — built in weeks from $3,500, then run for $450/month if you want it managed.
Part of Automate the Busywork — from $3,500
Problem
Most small businesses are drowning in the same handful of repetitive tasks: answering the same customer questions over and over, following up on leads before they go cold, copying data between tools, booking appointments, chasing invoices. You know AI could handle a lot of it — surveys say three in four small businesses already use AI somewhere — but only about one in seven have it actually built into how the business runs. The gap isn't interest. It's that wiring up a real, reliable AI agent means choosing tools, writing prompts, connecting it to your systems, and testing it so it doesn't embarrass you in front of a customer. That's a project, not an afternoon — and it's the exact project that never makes it to the top of an owner's list. So the busywork stays, and you keep paying for it in hours you don't have.
Outcome
You get a working AI agent or automation that runs on its own, wired into the tools you already use:
- A 24/7 assistant or chatbot that answers your customers' common questions on your site, accurately, in your voice — and hands off to you when it should.
- An AI receptionist or voice agent that takes calls, answers, and books appointments.
- Lead follow-up that never drops — new leads get enriched, sorted, and followed up automatically, so nothing sits in an inbox for three days.
- Back-office automation — the copy-paste-between-tools work (CRM updates, intake forms, reports, scheduling) done automatically.
Every build includes the agent itself, connection to your systems, testing against real scenarios, and a plain-English handover so you understand what it does. It's exclusively yours — no license, no lock-in. Starting at $3,500 for a single-workflow build, with an optional $450/month managed plan if you'd rather we monitor, tune, and expand it over time.
How it works
Three steps, most first agents live in 1–3 weeks:
Scope
we map the one workflow that's costing you the most time or leads, and agree exactly what the agent will and won't do. Clear boundaries are what make an agent trustworthy.
Build
we build and connect the agent to your tools, then test it against real cases until it behaves. This is where most DIY attempts stall; it's the part we're good at.
Ship
it goes live, you get a walkthrough, and we hand over the controls. Keep it in-house or put it on the managed plan and we'll keep improving it.
Proof
We build agent systems for ourselves before we build them for you. Tamze runs its own autonomous agent kernel — a system that plans work, does it, checks its own output, and reports back, with real safety rails so it fails safely rather than doing something dumb. The same discipline (clear scope, tested behavior, fail-safe design) is what goes into your agent. See the internal tooling on the work page. (Live "try a scripted agent" demo embeds here.)
Why this matters right now
“AI is one of the most profound things we are working on as humanity — it is more profound than fire or electricity or any of the other bigger things we have worked on.”
“You're not going to lose your job to an AI, but you're going to lose your job to someone who uses AI.”

FAQ
How much does a custom AI agent cost?
At Tamze, a custom AI agent starts at $3,500 for a single, connected, tested workflow — exclusively yours, no license, no lock-in. An optional managed plan runs $450/month for ongoing monitoring and improvements. That's well under the $15,000-and-up that most agencies quote for custom agent work, and far below the $25,000 minimums common at larger firms.
What can an AI agent actually do for my business?
Common ones answer customer questions 24/7, act as a phone receptionist that books appointments, follow up on new leads automatically, and handle back-office busywork like updating your CRM or generating reports. If a task is repetitive and rule-based or question-and-answer shaped, an agent can usually take most of it off your plate.
How long does it take to build?
Most first agents go live in one to three weeks. The timeline depends mostly on how many systems it needs to connect to and how quickly we can agree on exactly what it should do. We deliberately start with one clear workflow rather than boiling the ocean — it ships faster and proves value before you expand it.
Is it safe to let an AI agent talk to my customers?
Yes, when it's scoped and tested properly. We give every agent clear boundaries — what it can answer, when it hands off to a human — and test it against real scenarios before it goes live. It's designed to say "let me get someone for you" rather than guess. Careful scoping is exactly what separates a reliable agent from a risky one.
Do I own the agent, or am I renting it?
Neither, exactly — it's exclusively yours. The build (the logic, the connections, the configuration) is for your use alone; we don't license it to you and we don't reuse it elsewhere. Where the work is substantially human-directed code and configuration, standard copyright protection typically applies and transfers to you as part of the deliverable. The optional $450/month managed plan is just for us to keep monitoring and improving it — cancel anytime and the agent keeps running.
