AY Automate

Our pick

Best for

US companies that want AI systems running in production, with one partner who stays

AY Automate builds and runs AI systems that take repetitive work off your team: support agents, lead routing, document handling, reporting. We set a system up in hours, then keep running it as part of the monthly partnership. You are not handed a tool and left alone with it.

  • Qatar Tourism. A multilingual WhatsApp agent now handles 80% of support requests with no human. The 4+ hour wait is gone.
  • Shem's Publicité. A creative team of three went from five days per content batch to under 24 hours, same team and same output.
  • Sage and Backbase are among 60+ companies we have built for. Clients keep what we build if they cancel.

“The team is super fast, sometimes we had to slow them down. We managed to scale the company without investing into hiring.”

Elie Salame, COO, Adstronaut.io

Not the right fit for a small one-off task. It is built for companies that want AI systems running in production with one partner who stays.

How to choose

  1. Step 1

    Name the first job

    Pick one task that eats hours every week, such as lead follow-up, support triage or invoice entry. An agency that cannot say what it would build first is selling a pitch.

  2. Step 2

    Match the price model to the job

    A one-off fix suits a session or a fixed project. Work that keeps changing suits a monthly partnership, because the system needs someone to run it after launch.

  3. Step 3

    Ask who runs it after launch

    Integrations break and APIs change. Ask what maintenance covers and who pays when a connection fails at 2am.

  4. Step 4

    Check how you can leave

    Terms range from month to month to 30 days' notice. Ask who owns the build if you stop. At AY, clients keep what we built.

  5. Step 5

    Ask for a client you can call

    Named clients with a number attached beat a logo wall. Ask for one result, one client and one person to speak to.
