Small machines that do the work nobody should be doing.

Not a platform. Not a transformation programme. A handful of quiet automations built on the tools you already pay for — handed over documented, and owned by you.

// What it’s actually for

Three things worth paying for.

i.

Get the hours back

Moving leads between tools, drafting the same reply, rebuilding the same report. None of it is hard. All of it is expensive, because it is your best people doing it.

ii.

Stop dropping things

The follow-up that never went out. The enquiry that sat in an inbox over a weekend. Machines are worse than people at judgement and better than people at never forgetting.

iii.

Grow before you hire

More volume through the same team — before you take on the cost and the risk of another salary.

// The problem

Your team is doing work a machine should do.

Most teams lose a full day a week to copy-paste: moving leads between tools, drafting the same replies, reconciling numbers, rewriting the same social posts. None of it is hard. All of it is expensive — because it's your best people doing it.

I find the highest-leverage tasks to automate, build them on the stack you already run, and hand them over documented. No black boxes, no lock-in, no new platform to learn.

01

Workflow automation

CRM enrichment, ops routing, ticket triage, reporting digests — the connective tissue between the tools you already pay for.

02

AI social media engine

A content system that drafts on-brand posts, schedules them, and learns from what performs. You approve; it ships.

03

Custom internal apps

Small, sharp tools built for one job your team does daily — an intake form that scores leads, a dashboard that actually gets read.

04

LLM integration & guardrails

Models wired into your workflows safely — with the prompts, fallbacks, and human checkpoints that keep them honest.

This is what an agent will look like.

Mango is the same kind of system I build for clients — trained on the studio's playbooks, honest about what it doesn't know, and quick to hand you to a human.

PREVIEW
Hi — I'm Mango. Want to know what's worth automating in your business?
We spend hours a week moving leads from forms into the CRM and chasing them.
Classic. That's a 2-week build: form → enrichment → CRM → a follow-up agent with a human checkpoint. Want the breakdown of what that would look like on your stack?

// How it runs

Three phases. Finite by design.

No open-ended transformation programme. Each phase ends in something you can hold, and you decide whether there is a next one.

01

Look

We sit inside the actual work and find where the hours go. It ends in a written recommendation. Sometimes that recommendation is “not yet.”

→ about two weeks
02

Build

On the stack you already run. Fixed scope, quoted upfront. One flow at a time, live before the next one starts.

→ 2–6 weeks per flow
03

Hand over

Documented, in your own accounts, owned by you. If you stop working with us, everything keeps running.

→ yours to keep
// What it costs

Four ways in. Priced upfront.

Most AI consultants are paid to conclude that you need AI. If the honest answer is that a process needs fixing before it needs automating, that is what the Look will say — and we will still be here when it is ready.

Two weeks inside the actual work, and a written answer at the end — whatever the answer is.

To be discussedper flow, fixed scope

One automation, built on the tools you already pay for, live before the next one starts.

03 · Monthly

Retained capability

To be discussedper month

For when something is running and you want more of it — a standing build queue rather than a project.

// Questions

Before you ask.

Will this replace my team?+

No. It removes the busywork so your team does the work only people can do — the judgement, the relationships, the things that actually need a person.

What if I don't know what to automate?+

That's what the Look is for. You don't need a list — we sit inside the work, find where the hours go, and come back with a written recommendation. Sometimes that recommendation is “not yet.”

Do I get locked into a platform?+

Never. I build on tools you already own, document everything, and hand it over. You can fire me and keep all of it.

How fast can something ship?+

A first flow usually goes live within two weeks of kickoff. Bigger systems phase in from there.
