Your AI & automation team on retainer.
For those ready to leverage AI beyond the chat box. Most middle-market companies don’t have an AI team — and don’t need to hire one. AI Office gives you senior strategists and engineers on a monthly retainer who ship working automations inside your business, every month — not a custom software project. From $5,000/mo. Not ready yet? Start with AI Sherpa.
Don’t just “do AI.” Be the leader who got it right.
Five years from now, the businesses that won this decade won’t be the ones who moved fastest or spent the most. They’ll be the ones who made the right calls — what to build, what to buy, what to ignore, when to wait, when to bet — and got those calls into production. That last part is where most companies stall.
AI Office is how you get past it: a senior team on retainer, in your business every month, helping you make the calls and deliver them. Twenty years of shipping software, data, and AI inside companies your size, operating inside your environment, not around it. From $5,000/mo, so you can prove the partnership before you scale it.
Three plans. One difference: how much ships.
Same team, same way of working, on every plan. The difference is how much ships each month. Start where you are, move up, down, or out any time. No lock-in.
- Weekly touchpoint with leadership or key people
- Executive AI coaching for you and your leaders
- Dedicated engineering capacity each month
- Hands-on data & systems work, not just advisory
- Production support — infrastructure, security, monitoring, fixes & enhancements for anything we ship. We manage what we build.
- A 6–12 month AI & Automation roadmap, reviewed quarterly with your leadership team
Strategy, dedicated engineering capacity, and a steady stream of automations in production — for teams that want practical AI wins without spinning up a full internal team.
- What ships: one small automation every month
Twice the pace. More engineering capacity on the same weekly cadence — for operators with more than one workflow worth automating and the appetite to move.
- What ships: two or three small automations a month
A full-time senior engineer who works only on your business, with QA, DevSecOps, project management, and design pulled in as the work needs them. The coverage of a team without four more hires.
- What ships: weekly releases from a standing backlog
A small automation is a task a person does every day or every week that a system can now do for them, with a person approving where it matters: a report, an alert, a data sync, an intake step, a follow-up, a reminder, a simple integration. Some are scheduled tasks, some are agents. A full custom software system is a separate project.

Partner, not vendor.
Frogslayer is easy to work with — they communicate in a detailed, professional manner without wasting time, and the work product is top level. They suggested an approach we hadn’t considered and built a product that works even better than we envisioned.
You guys really exceeded my expectations. The understanding the team has of our complex business is impressive. We’ve come a long way and you guys made it happen.
A fast read on fit.
AI Office is right if
- You're a CEO/COO/CFO at a $1M–$10M EBITDA company, owner-led or PE-backed
- You feel pressure to "do AI" — and have more than one workflow worth automating — but don't have the internal team
- You've tried a vendor, a pilot, or a freelancer before and it stalled
- You want a partner who can both advise and do the work
- You'd rather start at $5K/mo — or a single fixed-fee sprint — than commit six figures up front
- You like pricing on a webpage — not in a quote
It's not a fit if
- You already have a dedicated AI or engineering team & just need extra hands
- You need an immediate enterprise rollout
- You want a pure advisory firm with no execution capability
- You want offshore or body-shop pricing — not what we do
- The answer is a whole system, not an automation — that's Custom Software Development + Design
You don’t need to know what to automate. That’s our job.
Most operators can’t ask for what they can’t picture. So we start here — showing you the shape of what’s possible across your business, then putting it to work and running it for you. A sample, by function:
- Executive assistant & briefing agents
- Meeting-to-action automations
- Inbox triage & summarization
- Research copilots
- Market & competitor research agents
- CRM data enrichment
- Customer data enrichment
- A digital-marketing dashboard
- Content & campaign drafting
- Personalized outreach agents
- Pipeline intelligence inside your CRM
- Lead enrichment & scoring
- Proposal generator
- CPQ & pricing intelligence
- Job-level profitability intelligence
- Scheduling & dispatch
- Field-ops intelligence
- Capacity & resource planning
- Approval queues (human-in-the-loop)
- Invoice & AP intake (OCR)
- Reconciliation agents
- Reporting automations
- FinOps dashboards
Each gets shipped and run for you inside your plan. Map your own list with the AI Use Case Canvas.
Works with your stack. Everything above gets wired into the tools your business already depends on:
Connecting your systems is what makes automated revenue recognition · faster month-end close · project-level intelligence · automated research & reporting possible.
We meet you where you are — and take you further.
AI only pays off when it's adopted, not just deployed. So every plan moves you and your team through the same three gears — and we meet you where you are today, leaning into whatever the moment calls for as your needs shift.
Where it can go over time.
The goal isn’t “AI.” It’s live AI workflows — one to three assistants, agents, or automations running inside your real processes, every day. We get there a step at a time.
Common questions.
Is AI Office right for a business my size?
What happened to AI Sherpa?
What does “dedicated time each month” mean?
What ships each month?
Can I cancel?
How does this lead to bigger work?
Who is “the team”?
How does contracting work?
How do I know it’ll actually ship — and not become shelfware?
Is our data safe?
Five steps, every time.
For AI Office, “Engage” is the retainer: a kickoff workshop in week one, a roadmap in about two weeks, and a first automation live in the first month.
