02What we do
A squad of specialist agents, not another chatbot.
01
Connect
Agents plug into the systems you already run, Xero, BuildXact, ServiceM8, CRMs and more.
02
Do the work
They produce real output, a priced quote, a cash-flow forecast, a live campaign, not suggestions.
03
Show the working
You watch the output build up step by step, then hand it to the rest of the squad with full context.
04
You approve
Guardrails and a human sign-off on anything that ships. Reliability is the whole point.
A clear path from problem to squad.
Every stage has defined deliverables and your sign-off before anything moves forward. No lock-in contracts.
- 01
Scope
Short discovery
We map the problem, the tools you already run, and what ‘solved’ looks like — so we build the right squad, not a generic one.

Agents & integrations

- 03
Onboard
Live & improving
We onboard the squad into your workflow and keep tuning it as it works. You sign off on every stage and stay in control throughout.

10FAQ
Questions, answered.
Everything worth knowing before you scope a squad. Still curious? Book a demo.
A squad is a set of AI agents, each tuned to a specific job — estimating, finance, marketing, ops, and more — wired into the tools you already use and working together under your direction. Think of it as a specialist team that runs inside your business.
The stack you already run — CRMs, Xero, email, docs, project and scheduling tools, and more. If it has an API, we can usually connect to it. We build around what’s working rather than asking you to rip things out.
Discovery is a short sprint, and most squads are scoped and building within weeks, not months. You sign off before each stage, so you always know what’s coming next.
Always. Every stage needs your sign-off, and the agents answer to you — you can review their work, steer them, or pause at any time. Nothing goes live without you.
You do. Your data stays yours, we build on top of it, and we never resell it. The systems we build are yours to keep.
Engagements are scoped on the discovery call to match the problem you’re solving — there are no lock-in contracts. Book a call and we’ll map it out with you.
