I build the automation that stops you re-typing the same job into three different tools.
I'm Jonathan — a solo, veteran-owned AI and automation builder. You talk to me on the call, and I'm the one who builds it. Fixed price, agreed before I start, and you own everything I build.

Sample data replaying a pattern I actually build — not a live client system.
IN WRITING
Start here
What's eating your team's time?
Pick the one that sounds most like your week — I'll show you the shape of the fix. No form, no call.
Copying between systems
THE SHAPE OF THE FIX
A small integration watches the system where work first lands, validates each record, and writes it into the others — one entry instead of three. Anything that doesn't match cleanly goes to a short review list instead of silently breaking. You stop being the glue between your own tools.
Rebuilding the same reports
THE SHAPE OF THE FIX
The numbers you re-assemble every week get pulled from the source systems automatically — into a live dashboard, or a formatted sheet that lands in your inbox on schedule. When a source changes shape, it flags you instead of quietly lying.
Chasing follow-ups
THE SHAPE OF THE FIX
The system watches for the reply that never came — quote sent, invoice due, job unconfirmed — drafts the nudge, and either sends it or holds it for your one-tap approval. Nothing depends on someone remembering. You choose which messages always get a human look first.
Answering repeat questions
THE SHAPE OF THE FIX
An assistant that answers only from your documents — price sheets, policies, past answers — and hands the conversation to a person the moment it's unsure. It shows where each answer came from, so you can trust it without babysitting it.
Running ops in spreadsheets
THE SHAPE OF THE FIX
The sheet that runs your operation becomes a small tool: same columns, plus history, validation, and who-changed-what — and a stray sort can't break it. You keep spreadsheet exports; the tool keeps the truth.
Sorting documents & email
THE SHAPE OF THE FIX
Inbound PDFs, photos, and emails get read, classified, renamed, and filed — with the key fields extracted into your system. Low-confidence items queue for a person instead of getting guessed at.
What actually changes
The goal is not more software. It's fewer manual steps.
One job request, traced both ways.
TODAY — BY HAND
5 MANUAL TOUCHES · EVERY SINGLE JOB
AFTER — AUTOMATED
1 HUMAN TOUCH — THE ONE THAT MATTERS
AUTO = runs by itself · REVIEW = waits for your approval. Anything that touches customers or money can always require sign-off.
What I build
Built around your actual workflow.
The sweet spot: a task that eats hours every week, follows rules you can describe, and doesn't quite fit any off-the-shelf product — at a small-business scale, not an enterprise one.
Workflow automation
Connect the tools you already use and remove the manual steps between them: intake, quoting, data entry, reporting, follow-ups.
EXAMPLE — LEAD ROUTING
The same pattern as the run log at the top of the page.
AI assistants & agents
Bots that answer from your own documents, capture leads, and hand off to a human the moment they're unsure.
Custom internal tools
Dashboards, trackers, and small data tools shaped to how your business actually runs — not the other way around.
Integrations & scripts
One-off bridges between systems and clean-ups of messy data. Small, quick, and often the best first project.
How it works
Three steps. No surprises in any of them.
01 / SCOPING CALL
Free, 20 minutes, honest
You describe the process — where work comes in, where it gets re-typed, what falls through. I tell you whether it's worth automating; if an off-the-shelf product already does it, I'll name it and point you there.
02 / FIXED QUOTE
One number, in writing
Agreed before any work begins. No hourly billing, no long contract. If it takes me longer than I estimated, that's my cost — not your invoice.
03 / BUILD & HANDOFF
Tight iterations — and you own it
Short cycles, working software early. When we're done, the code, the accounts, the data, and a plain-English handoff doc are all yours. Any developer could pick it up tomorrow.
Who you're hiring
One builder. The same one, all the way through.
I'm Jonathan Scott. Before this, I was in the Army — the same discipline that means showing up when I say I will is what goes into every build. I do the scoping call, I write the code, I hand it off. No account managers, no bench of junior devs you've never met. And if you ever need someone else to pick up what I built, everything's documented and yours to hand over. That's the deal.
If you're here, someone probably already told you what I do. This page is just where you check that they were right.

Operating principles
The boring rules that make automation safe.
No invented certifications — just how every project actually runs, in plain language.
You own the accounts and the code
Everything runs in accounts in your name. At handoff you get admin access, the code, and the data — not screenshots of them.
Credentials are scoped and revocable
Least-access keys, no shared passwords over email. Cutting my access takes you one click, any day.
Humans approve the big stuff
Actions that are hard to undo — payments, deletions, bulk messages — can require your sign-off before they run.
Failures are visible
When an automation hits something it can't handle, it stops and tells you where you'll see it. It never silently skips work.
Documentation is included
Every build ships with a plain-English doc of what runs where, and why. Any developer can take over without me.
WHAT HANDOFF LOOKS LIKE
A plain-English runbook
What runs where, why it exists, and what to check when something looks off.
Admin access, in your name
Every account and key transferred — nothing parked under mine.
The code and the data
Source, exports, and history — portable to any developer, any time.
A walkthrough, recorded
So the explanation doesn't live only in one meeting's memory.
Pricing, plainly
One fixed number, before you commit.
No hourly billing, no long contract, no number that grows after you say yes. You describe the workflow, I quote it once — in writing — and the scoping call that produces the quote is free either way.
SMALL AUTOMATIONS
Days to a couple of weeks
Lead routing, follow-up sequences, report automation, single integrations. Often the best first project.
LARGER CUSTOM TOOLS
Typically a few weeks
Internal tools and dashboards, multi-system workflows, AI assistants trained on your documents.
WHAT MOVES THE NUMBER
The exact number comes before you commit — never after.
Common questions
The questions careful buyers ask.
FIT
What makes a project a good fit?
Is my project too small?
Will you tell me if I don't need custom software?
PRICING & DELIVERY
What do projects typically cost?
How long do projects take?
Why fixed price instead of hourly?
OWNERSHIP & SUPPORT
Who owns the code and the accounts?
What happens after launch?
What if you're unavailable someday?
DATA & AI
Where does my data get processed?
Does my data train an AI model?
How are credentials handled?
When does a person review AI output?
Will you sign an NDA?
YOUR TEAM
Is this about replacing my staff?
The smallest first step
Show me the process your team should not still be doing manually.
Describe it in a few sentences — I'll review it personally and tell you whether it's a good candidate for automation or a lightweight custom tool. If it isn't, I'll say so, and you've spent two minutes.
