An AI Employee That Runs Your Business From Your Phone

We install a secure AI assistant on your own machine. It responds to customers, manages your operations, and handles the work that falls through the cracks โ€” and you control it all by texting it from your phone.

Powered by Anthropic's Claude AI โ€” enterprise-grade technology running locally on your machine. Your business data stays yours.

The Problem

You're Losing Money to Things That Should Be Automatic

Every small business owner knows the feeling: leads go unanswered, reviews pile up, follow-ups get forgotten, and the admin work that should take 20 minutes eats your whole morning. You didn't start your business to manage an inbox.

Slow Response = Lost Revenue

The average small business takes 3+ hours to respond to an inquiry. The business that responds in minutes wins the customer.

Reviews Go Unanswered

67% of customers check reviews before buying. Unanswered reviews โ€” especially negative ones โ€” cost you more than you think.

Follow-Ups Don't Happen

Quoted a customer last month but never followed up? That's $5K-$40K in revenue just sitting there waiting for a text.

The Solution

An AI Assistant You Control Entirely by Text Message

We set up a secure AI assistant that runs on your machine โ€” a Mac Mini in your office or your existing computer. You interact with it by texting from your phone. It handles the rest.

Text It Like a Team Member

iMessage, Telegram, or Slack. 'Check today's leads.' 'Respond to that Google review.' 'Draft an email to the client list.' No apps to learn.

Your Data Stays Local

Runs on your machine in your office. Customer data, business files, financial info โ€” nothing goes to the cloud unless you send it.

Asks Before Acting

Unlike rogue AI tools, your assistant texts you for permission before taking sensitive actions. 'Send this email? Reply YES.' You stay in control.

Works 24/7 While You Don't

Responds to inquiries at 2am. Sends morning briefings at 7am. Follows up with customers you quoted last week. Never takes a sick day.

Live Example

You: "Check new Google reviews"

AI: "2 new reviews since yesterday. 1 five-star โ€” loved the service. 1 three-star โ€” mentioned long wait time. Draft responses ready. Reply SEND to post both, or EDIT to review."

You: "SEND"

AI: "Both responses posted. Average response time: 47 seconds. Your profile now shows 4.8 stars across 312 reviews."

Built for the Businesses That Actually Run This City

Whether you're a dentist between patients, a contractor on a job site, or a lawyer heading into court โ€” your AI assistant adapts to your specific workflows.

The Process

From Zero to AI Employee in One Afternoon

We handle every technical detail. You don't touch a terminal, write any code, or configure anything. Here's what happens:

1

Discovery Call (20 min)

We learn your business, your daily workflows, and where time is being wasted. We identify the 5-10 tasks your AI should handle from day one.

2

Setup & Configuration (1-2 days)

We install Claude Code on your machine (or a dedicated Mac Mini), configure the messaging channel, build your custom commands, and train the AI on your business context.

3

Training Session (1 hour)

We walk you through everything on a video call. By the end, you'll be texting your AI like you've done it for years.

4

Launch & Optimization (ongoing)

Your AI goes live. We monitor for the first 30-60 days, tune performance, add new workflows as you discover them, and make sure everything runs smoothly.

Security

Your Data Stays in Your Building. Not the Cloud.

We use Anthropic's official Claude Code Channels โ€” not third-party open-source tools with known security vulnerabilities. Here's what that means for your business:

On-Premise by Default

The AI runs on a machine in your office. Customer records, financial data, and business files never leave your building.

Permission-Based Actions

Your AI texts you for approval before executing anything sensitive. No rogue commands, no surprise actions.

Anthropic-Backed

Claude is built by Anthropic โ€” a $7.3B AI safety company trusted by Fortune 500 firms. Not a community project with known security breaches.

We Manage Updates

Security patches, feature updates, performance tuning โ€” we handle it all so you don't have to think about the technology.

vs. OpenClaw

OpenClaw Showed Us What's Possible. Claude Channels Makes It Practical.

Unless you're a developer who wants to tinker with open-source code, Claude Channels is the smarter choice for any business that just wants the AI to work.
