Your AI. Installed. Running.

A New York operations practice. We install custom AI on your hardware, for the work that breaks first in your morning. In person if you're in the city.

For the ones who already tried, and watched it break.

Fixed quote within 2 business days. No cost-plus billing.

i. The discipline

A new discipline is emerging. People who understand their own work well enough to teach a machine about it.

Reliability
Time back
Knows your stack
Trust earned
ii. The buyers

Same frustration. Different context.

Online education

The Two-Language Practice.

It's been a game changer. But there are so many people like me locked out because they don't know what's possible.
Asset management

The Concurrent Desk.

I spent three days trying to figure out handoffs. I stopped what I was doing, that's not my core business.
Privileged-records firm

The On-Premise Practice.

I threw up my hands and said, there's someone else out there that knows how to make all this work reliably.
Capital markets

The Single-Source Desk.

When I see something interesting I save it on each app that I see it on. It's everywhere. I need a single source.
Field operations

The Saturday Cycle.

All of a sudden I can join voter files with shape files automatically. I can practically run turnout models on these things.
Local-first business

The Two-Storefront Counter.

This is going to change everything. I haven't had that feeling since the Apple iPhone.
Brooklyn, NYC

The Night Owl.

I bought this computer for OpenClaw. Sat here till 8 a.m. last night, only quit because it deleted everything. Woke up and I'm back here again.
iii. How the install works

Built with you.
On the timeline we set.

Starter one week
Operations two to four weeks
Full four to eight weeks
01

Discovery

Free call. You describe a workflow that's breaking. We name the likely tier on the call. Operations and Full include a use-case mapping session, NDA where needed.

02

Scope

Named scope. Named price. Named retainer. Quoted before we sign.

03

Install · in NYC, in person

One engineer, building on your machines while your team watches. We come to you in the city. On video if you're elsewhere.

04

Stabilize

The agent improves the longer it runs. We tune routes and write a one-page note every retainer month.

iv. What you keep

Fire us on Monday.
The agent still runs Tuesday.

Data

Configs, skills, prompts. All on your hardware.

Nothing on our servers, nothing licensed back to you. We document the sources at install so any competent engineer can pick it up.

Hardware

On-premise where it has to be.

When the workflow requires it, the agent runs locally with zero cloud calls. Otherwise we map exactly which providers see which data, in writing, before the install begins.

Workflows

Translated, not abstracted.

The agent runs your specific work, with your specific rules, in the tools you already use. No platform tax. No "your workflow doesn't fit our product."

Expertise

Encoded in something you can read.

By the end of install your team understands the system well enough to run it. Retainer is optional for Starter, expected for Operations, required for Full.

v. Pricing

Priced for reliability,
not consumption.

In between tiers? We'll quote it on the discovery call. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you on that call.

What you don't get at $999

A token-cap on the AI bill before it runs away. A config backup when the Mac Mini wipes itself. A routing diagram for which providers see what data. Someone to call when something breaks at 8 a.m. Commodity installs leave the operator on their own at exactly the moments that matter.

Named references available on request, under NDA.

vi. Questions before the call

The first four.

Who owns it, and what happens if you disappear?

You do, and nothing changes. Configs, skills, data, all of it on your hardware or in accounts you control. Nothing lives on our servers. We document the system at install so any competent engineer can pick it up.

Is this an OpenClaw install service?

Sometimes. We also ship on Claude Code, Hermes, and custom agents. We pick what fits your workflow, your compliance posture, and your team.

What's the actual risk of sensitive data leaving our systems?

For high-risk cases we deploy locally with zero cloud calls. Otherwise we document exactly which providers see which data so you can audit it.

What about runaway API bills, or losing my work?

Token caps are set at install. Model spend gets monitored, and broken changes get rolled back. Configs are backed up locally and in your accounts so a Mac Mini wipe doesn't take the system with it.

Not ready for a call? Send a workflow that's breaking. We send a diagram back in 48 hours.
