AI
For these roles, AI is the job. Your Data Analyst builds AI into your workflows, with tests, error alerts and a person's sign-off before anything goes live.
Automations that end re-keying
Zapier, Make or n8n connecting your CRM, forms, email and accounts, with AI steps that sort, extract and draft.
Assistants on your own content
Custom GPTs, Claude Projects, Gemini Gems or Copilot agents that answer from your policies, products and past work.
Chat and voice agents
Agents that answer, qualify and book, and hand over to a person when they should.
Reporting and analysis
Excel with Copilot, Power BI or Python, with every number checked against the source.
Tests before go-live
A test set that shows whether the AI gets it right before your customers see it, and alerts when it slips.
Our rule: business-grade AI only, never free or personal accounts.
