AI Automation Consultant — Agents, Workflows & Internal Tools

AI agents, n8n workflows and custom internal tools that take routine marketing and operations work off your team.

TL;DR

AI automation uses language models and workflow tools to handle repetitive work — reporting, lead routing, content briefs, support triage and data cleanup. I design, build and maintain AI agents, n8n workflows, Claude and ChatGPT pipelines and custom internal tools, with humans kept in the loop where it matters. From $2,500 a month as an add-on.

Most AI projects stop at the demo

Almost every team I work with has tried AI: prompts in ChatGPT, a Zapier step, maybe a chatbot pilot. Very few have AI doing real work every day, reliably, without someone babysitting it. The gap is rarely the model. It’s the plumbing — clean inputs, clear rules, error handling, logging and someone who owns it.

I build AI automations that run in production: connected to your real tools, with guardrails, monitoring and human approval where it matters.

What I automate

Reporting and alerts

Weekly performance reports assembled automatically from GA4, ad platforms, your store and CRM, with a written summary of what changed. Pacing alerts and anomaly detection so overspend or broken tracking is flagged the same day.

Lead handling

Enrichment, qualification, scoring and routing of inbound leads; call and meeting summaries pushed to the CRM; follow-up drafts ready for a salesperson to review and send.

Content operations

Research, briefs, outlines, first drafts, product descriptions, translations and metadata at scale — always with an editing step before anything is published.

Customer and operations workflows

Support ticket triage, review monitoring, order and inventory alerts, document processing and data sync between systems that don’t talk to each other.

Custom software and internal tools

When off-the-shelf tools don’t fit, I build what’s missing: internal dashboards, admin panels, data pipelines and small web apps.

How I build

1. Map the work

I list the repetitive tasks your team does each week, how long they take and what a mistake would cost. We automate where the time saved is high and the risk is manageable.

2. Ship the smallest useful version

The first workflow typically goes live within two weeks and solves one real problem end to end. Then we expand.

3. Build the guardrails in

Structured outputs, validation, retries and fallbacks. Agents get narrowly defined tools and permissions. Anything customer-facing, financial or irreversible goes through a human approval step.

4. Monitor and maintain

Every run is logged, failures raise alerts, and workflows are updated as your tools, APIs and models change. An automation that fails silently is worse than none.

The stack

n8n is my default orchestration layer — self-hostable, flexible and not priced per task. I use Claude and ChatGPT through their APIs for language work, Python or Node.js for custom logic, and Zapier or Make where a client already relies on them. Everything runs in accounts you own, and every workflow is documented, so you’re never locked in to me or to a single vendor.

Who this is for

  • Growth and marketing teams buried in reporting, briefs and manual data work.
  • Founders who want AI working inside the business, not just a subscription seat.
  • Operations-heavy businesses — ecommerce, agencies, services — with repeatable processes spread across several tools.

Who this is not for

  • Anyone looking to replace their team with fully autonomous agents.
  • Projects that need model training or research — I build applied systems on top of existing models.

FAQ

AI Automation & Internal Tools FAQ

What can AI automation do for a marketing team?

It handles the repetitive parts — pulling reports, drafting briefs, tagging and routing leads, summarizing calls, enriching CRM records, monitoring ad pacing and flagging anomalies. The team keeps the decisions; the busywork runs on its own.

Why n8n instead of Zapier or Make?

n8n can be self-hosted, handles complex logic and code steps well, and isn't priced per task, which matters once workflows run at volume. I still use Zapier or Make when a client already depends on them and the use case is simple.

Are AI agents reliable enough for real work?

For well-defined tasks with clear inputs, guardrails and review steps, yes. I don't give agents open-ended authority over customers, money or production data. Anything irreversible goes through human approval, and every run is logged.

How much does AI automation cost?

AI automation runs as an add-on from $2,500 per month alongside Growth Foundation or Fractional Growth OS, covering build, maintenance and new workflows. API and hosting costs are paid directly by you and are usually modest.

Can you build custom software or internal tools?

Yes. When a spreadsheet or SaaS product doesn't fit, I build lightweight internal tools — dashboards, admin panels, data pipelines and small web apps — documented so your team can maintain them.

What happens to our data?

Automations run in accounts you own, using business APIs rather than consumer chat apps. Each workflow only accesses the data it needs, and I document where data flows so nothing is a black box.
