Done-for-you AI setup

You bought the AI tool. Someone still has to set it up.

Every AI platform sells you a free trial and a blank screen. The demo took four minutes; making it work on your business takes a week you don't have. We do that part — configure it, wire it into the systems you already use, test it on real work, and hand it back working.

Why it stalls

The setup is the hard part, and nobody sells that.

The tools are genuinely good now. What's missing is the person who sits down and makes one of them fit a specific business. Here's where people actually get stuck.

The blank prompt

The platform is ready and waiting for you to describe your business, your services, your pricing, your edge cases, your after-hours rules. That's not a setup step — that's a writing project, and it's why the tab stays open for three weeks.

The connection nobody documents

The AI works. Getting it to write into your CRM, trigger the right text, and not double-log the same lead is a different job with its own vocabulary. This is where most DIY attempts quietly stop.

The edge cases you only find live

It handles the demo call perfectly and falls apart on the guy with a thick accent asking about a job you don't do. You only find that by running it against real traffic and fixing what surfaces.

Nobody owns it after launch

A setup that only works while someone remembers how it was wired isn't finished. If it isn't documented on accounts you control, you've rented a dependency, not bought a system.

What we set up

Four things we get running most often.

Not an exhaustive list — it's what small businesses ask for most. If your thing isn't here, the free call is the fastest way to find out whether it's worth building.

AI phone agents

An agent that answers when you can't, gets the caller's details, and texts you the lead ready to close. It captures the lead — it doesn't book the job for you. We write the script around your actual services and test it on real calls before it goes anywhere near your main line.

Workflow automations

The repeated Tuesday-morning sequence: the form that becomes a CRM record that becomes a text that becomes a follow-up task. We map what you do by hand, then remove the hand.

Lead routing & follow-up

Leads arrive from four places and get chased inconsistently from all four. We put them in one flow with a response that fires in seconds instead of whenever someone checks the inbox.

Internal AI assistants

An assistant that actually knows your pricing, your policies, and your past jobs — so answering a question doesn't mean digging through a shared drive. Trained on your documents, kept current.

How it works

Four steps, and you see it working before you've paid most of it.

01

We watch the work

A call where you walk us through how it actually happens now — including the messy parts. We scope from that, not from a feature list.

02

We build it in your accounts

Configured and connected on platforms you own. You keep the logins throughout — there's no stage where it lives somewhere you can't reach.

03

We test it on real work

Real calls, real leads, real edge cases. We fix what surfaces before it's pointed at anything that matters to your revenue.

04

We hand it over documented

Written in plain English so you or anyone on your team can maintain it. Plus a support window to fix anything that doesn't work as scoped.

Want to see the work before you buy it?

Let us set one up for free first.

If you run a home-service or trades business, there's a cheaper way to judge whether we're any good than reading this page: let us build you an AI receptionist, free, in 48 hours. Run it on your real line for a week. Then read the call log and decide.

It answers the calls you miss, gets the caller's details, and texts you the lead ready to close. It doesn't book the job — you still close it. We'd rather tell you exactly what it does than oversell it.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What does done-for-you AI setup actually include?
We configure the tool, connect it to the systems you already use, test it against your real work rather than a demo script, fix what breaks, and hand it over with plain-English documentation. You own the accounts and the logins the whole time — we work inside your tools, not ours.
Can you set up a tool I already bought?
Yes, and it's the most common request we get. People buy an AI platform, get through the first screen, and stall on the part that needs someone to think about their specific business. If the tool is a reasonable fit, we'll set it up. If it's the wrong tool for what you're trying to do, we'll tell you that before you spend more on it.
How much does it cost to have someone set up AI for my business?
Custom builds and setup work start at $2,000 with a fixed scope and fixed price agreed up front — no hourly billing. Larger multi-system builds start around $3,500. If you want a plan before committing to a build, the $1,000 AI Assessment maps what's worth doing first.
How long does setup take?
Most single-system setups are delivered in days, not months. Multi-system builds are scoped into sprints measured in weeks. You'll see the thing working before the bulk of the invoice is ever due.
What happens if it breaks after you hand it over?
Setup includes a support window to fix anything that doesn't work as scoped. After that you can keep it running yourself — everything's documented and on accounts you own — or put us on a monthly partnership where keeping it running is our job.
Do I get locked into working with you?
No. We build on platforms you own and control. If we part ways, your systems keep working and your logins keep working. That's deliberate — a setup you can't maintain without us isn't a setup, it's a hostage situation.

"My friends kept coming to me for help — they were drowning in busywork they knew software could handle, but nobody had ever shown them where to start. So I built Oleada AI to help them simplify and automate the work eating their week. After thousands of hours testing hundreds of tools and refining it on real businesses, I'm opening it up to you — no hype, no lock-in, just a clear, honest map of where AI gives you your time back."
