Our product

JCIL.AI

An AI platform with paying members. We designed and wrote the site, then built everything behind it: sign-up, billing, and the app. The question a visitor types on the home page follows them through sign-up, so the first thing they see inside is their answer.

  • Design, copy and build
  • Accounts, plans and Stripe billing
  • Over two thousand automated tests

Our product

Semper Math

A live math tutor for teens. The site sells it to a parent in one scroll, and the product behind it reads a student's handwriting line by line. Parent accounts, tutoring billed by the minute, and a board that works on a laptop or a tablet.

  • Tutoring board with voice and handwriting
  • 253 skills, pre-algebra to precalculus

The actual problem

Most local businesses don't have an AI problem.They have three systems that don't talk.

That is the layer the agent belongs in. Not a chatbot on the website. Software that does the job the copying-and-pasting person is doing right now, inside the tools you already pay for.

01You've tried the AI tools. None of them touch your systems.

ChatGPT wrote a nice email. It cannot see your calendar, your invoices or your customer list, so the person copying and pasting is still copying and pasting.

02The phone rings and nobody gets it.

A missed call at 6:40pm is a booked appointment somewhere else by 6:45. The voicemail gets checked in the morning, if it gets checked.

03Someone on payroll is the integration.

The scheduler doesn't know what the invoicing does. So a careful, expensive person spends Thursday copying numbers between two screens. They are the only reason the figures line up.

Under the hood

One phone call,start to finish.

A sample run of the Front Desk agent. Every step it takes on a call is on the right: what it hears, what it looks up, what it writes down, and when it hands off to a person.

Talk it through

With every build

Care

$600 to $1,500 a month

Starts on handover day

Software breaks when a vendor changes something underneath it. This is the plan that catches it before you notice, which is why it comes with every build rather than being optional.

Cancel with thirty days' notice. It keeps running in your accounts, unwatched.

  • Hosting on your accounts, monitored and alerted
  • API and model drift watched
  • Security updates and verified backups
  • A fixed block of change hours
  • A monthly AI and security check

The six agents, what each one does and which are ready now are in what we build. Anything not listed there is quoted as a custom build with its own honest timeline. The offline box is Quick Win pricing with the hardware included and yours outright. Multi-location, multi-language and anything that takes payment over the phone are quoted separately.

How it works

Ten business days,and the clock is defined.

A free call, then one page with a fixed price. The clock starts when the page is signed and access is handed over. Ten days is for agents marked ready; websites and larger builds follow the same steps on their own written timeline.

Day 0

Kickoff

The clock starts when credentials are delivered and the spec is signed. Not before.

Days 1 to 7

Build

You see it running mid-week, not at the end. Nothing is a surprise on delivery day.

Days 8 and 9

Test on real data

Not a demo dataset. Your records, your edge cases, your worst-behaved customer.

Day 10

Handover

Documentation, the security note, and the keys. It runs in your accounts. You can revoke my access whenever you want.

Who builds it

An engineerwho has run the business.

Trained in

Software and security. Certified, and proven in production.

Ran

A multi-location operating business. P&L, staff, corporate reporting.

Builds

The software the business runs on, and the audits that test it.

Based

Remote across the United States, on Eastern time.

Building software and running a business are different skills. This work needs both. That combination is the whole offer.

I trained in software and security and then went and ran a business instead. Years of it: the P&L, a corporate parent to answer to, and the software nobody in the building liked. Eventually I stopped complaining about it and built our own. Then people started asking me to build theirs.

That is why the first call is worth thirty minutes even if you never hire me. I will tell you what I would automate first, and I will tell you if the answer is nothing.

Questions

The things peopleask first.

We already have systems. Isn't that a problem?

It's the point. Agents that live outside your stack are chatbots. The value is in the plumbing: reading from the scheduler you already pay for, writing to the accounting system you already reconcile, booking into the calendar your staff already watch. If you had nothing, this would be a much smaller job and a much smaller return.

Can you just build us a website?

Yes. Websites run $7,500 to $19,000 depending on what sits behind the pages: a booking flow, content you edit yourself, a store or a client portal. It is designed and written for your business, the domain and accounts are in your name, and it does not need an agent attached to be worth doing.

Can it run fully offline?

Yes. A Mac mini or a Ryzen AI Max box on your network runs an open-weight model in the 27B to 70B class, and the same agents run against it. The model and your files stay on your network, and it keeps running if the internet drops. Anything that has to reach the outside, like a text message, goes only where you approve. From $6,500 installed with the hardware included and yours outright. Most companies end up hybrid: regulated work on the box, everything else on the frontier models.

What does the first year actually cost?

The build, plus Care from the day it goes live. The smallest Quick Win is $3,500 plus $600 a month, about $10,700 for the first year. Model and phone usage bill to your own accounts at cost, and we estimate it in writing before you sign. Cancel Care with thirty days' notice and the system keeps running in your accounts, just without anyone watching it.

Isn't this already built into my software?

Sometimes, and if it is, you will hear it on the call. Most accounting tools can send a reminder on a schedule. Chase reads the reply, stops when the money lands, handles 'we mailed a check', and hands the odd ones to a person. If the built-in reminder already covers you, keep it and save the money.

Ten business days. Really?

For a single agent marked ready on the catalog, yes, and the clock is defined: it starts when credentials are delivered and the spec is signed, not when you first email. It is possible because proven components get assembled rather than invented, which is also why anything not on the shelf gets quoted with its own honest timeline.

Who owns it when you're done?

You do. It runs in your accounts, on your keys, against your data, and the documentation is written for someone who is not me. You keep your instance and your data outright. We retain the right to reuse generic components and methods, which is standard and is what keeps the catalog moving.

Do you host our data?

No. Your automation platform, your database, your model API key, your phone number. Nothing is stored on our infrastructure, so there is no copy of your customer list sitting somewhere waiting to be breached. Access is delegated, system by system, and you can revoke it from each one's own settings.

What happens when it breaks?

It will, eventually, because vendors change APIs and models change behaviour. That is why the care plan comes with every build rather than being optional. Monitoring catches the failure before you notice it, and a fixed block of change hours covers the fix. An unmonitored agent that silently stops working in month six is worse than no agent at all.

Why is a security note included in a build?

Because an agent with credentials to your systems is a new way in. Every build ships with a written note covering what the agent can reach, what it can change, and where that data lives. We write it ourselves, so it is an internal review rather than a third-party certification. It costs nothing extra, and it is the document your insurer or your biggest customer is likely to ask for.
