AI automation.Built for your business.

Fix a broken workflow, connect AI to the tools you already use, or turn a repetitive task into a reliable script. Small, well-defined projects with a clear quote before work begins.

01 / SELECTED WORK

Ideas you can
interact with.

Independent projects and hands-on demos.
Explore the details, then try them yourself.

02 / DATA WORKFLOWS

From messy exports
to a usable report.

Inconsistent order IDs, duplicate records, and invalid emails make exports hard to use. This browser demo normalizes values and produces a clean CSV.

8input rows5unique recordsSample dataset

Inspect the output: two duplicate rows removed, one invalid row excluded. Toggle duplicate removal to compare the results.

03 / APPOINTMENT WORKFLOWS

From a question
to a booking.

Walk through a sample customer conversation: book a time, change it, run into a slot conflict, or see the handoff to staff when the calendar is down.

02 / HOW I CAN HELP

Build. Connect.
Make it work.

Choose a task you want off your plate, not a tech stack. Start with one workflow, one integration, or one script.

01 / FIX & AUTOMATE

Workflow automation

Stop copying information between tools by hand. Build a new workflow, or repair one that keeps breaking.

  • n8n, Zapier & Make workflows
  • Email, calendar, CRM & spreadsheet connections
  • Error alerts, retries & activity logs

A first step: one repeatable task, automated end to end.

Discuss a workflow
02 / PUT AI TO WORK

AI integrations

Add ChatGPT or Claude to the tools you already use to sort, summarize, extract, or draft, with a person reviewing what matters.

  • Message triage, summaries & reply drafts
  • Document extraction & FAQ assistants
  • Test sets that measure accuracy before launch

A first step: a small pilot checked against real examples.

Discuss an AI integration
03 / MAKE DATA USEFUL

Scripts & data cleanup

Turn messy exports, PDFs, and spreadsheets into clean, usable data, on demand or on a schedule.

  • Python scripts, APIs & scheduled jobs
  • CSV, Excel & PDF processing
  • Recurring reports & simple dashboards

A first step: one sample file and a clearly defined output.

Discuss a script
SOMETHING ELSE IN MIND?

Websites, full-stack apps, and larger builds are also possible after a scope review. Bring the problem, and I'll suggest a practical first step. Discuss another project

PRICING / A CLEAR AGREEMENT

Scoped to your project.
Priced before we start.

You don't need a finished specification or a firm budget to start a conversation.

DEFINED BUILD

A fixed scope

For a clear feature, fix, or integration. Receive a written quote with deliverables, review points, and payment milestones.

AI PILOTS

Test before you commit

For an AI idea or uncertain requirements. Agree on a small pilot, its fee, and the examples it must handle before committing to a larger build.

ONGOING CARE

Support when needed

Arrange maintenance or improvements separately, with an agreed scope, time allowance, and response window. No required retainer.

Know what you're paying for.

Build & setup
Development, integration, testing, and the agreed handoff.
Running costs
Automation platform plans, hosting, and AI usage where needed. Estimated separately, with client-owned accounts where practical.
Optional support
Maintenance and future changes, agreed separately from the original build.
03 / WORKING TOGETHER

A small first step.
A clear way forward.

  1. 01

    Talk it through

    Tell me what's not working, who uses it, and what a better result looks like.

  2. 02

    Get a clear quote

    Receive a short written scope, a fixed quote, and the checks the result must pass before any work begins.

  3. 03

    Build & review

    See progress, test the agreed features, and give feedback before final handoff.

  4. 04

    Put it to work

    Receive the agreed deliverables and setup notes. Arrange ongoing support if you need it.

04 / ABOUT THE STUDIO

Web & Workflow Studio.

AI & automation.
Built around your business.

Web & Workflow Studio is an independent software development studio led by a developer with three years of hands-on development experience.

The work focuses on AI integrations, workflow automation, and data tooling. AI features are checked against real examples before launch, so you know what they handle well and where a person should review. Each project starts with a clear scope and a practical first step.

A FEW DETAILS

Before we start.

How small can a project be?

Small is welcome. One broken workflow, one script, or one AI step in an existing process is a good place to start. Larger work can follow once the first piece is working.

Can you work with the tools I already use?

Usually, yes. Tell me which tools you use, for example Gmail, Google Sheets, HubSpot, Shopify, Notion, or Slack. I'll check what their integrations allow before confirming an approach and price. Please do not send passwords through the inquiry form.

Do I need to know exactly what to build?

No. Start with the problem and the result you want. We can identify a small first milestone. If the project needs a deeper technical assessment, we'll agree on that scope and fee before any paid work begins.

Are the work samples real client projects?

AutoPilot is an independent engineering project. The message, data-cleaning, and appointment demos run in your browser with fictional sample data and prepared or scripted responses. They are not connected to live AI services, phones, calendars, or email, and they are not client testimonials or a claim of customer results.

Do AI projects require training a new model?

Often the first step is integrating an existing model or service with your approved content and tools. A pilot tests usefulness, reliability, and usage costs. Custom model work is scoped only after reviewing the data, evaluation needs, and available compute.

How do I know the AI part is reliable?

Before launch, the AI step is tested against a set of real or realistic examples from your work. You see where it is accurate and where it makes mistakes, and we decide together which cases need a person to review.

How do pricing and payments work?

Pricing is project-specific. We agree on scope and payment milestones in writing before starting. Third-party subscriptions and usage are estimated separately from development and optional support. Payment details are provided with the accepted proposal; this website does not collect card information.

Can we meet in San Diego?

Local meetings can be arranged by agreement. Remote collaboration is welcome worldwide. Include your time zone and preferred meeting times with your inquiry.
