AI Agent Setup

AI agents for real business workflows — not another chatbot demo.

We set up and integrate AI agents — Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, and custom builds — into your actual operations: connected to your tools, scoped to real tasks, and run with the human oversight that keeps them useful instead of dangerous.

An AI agent that isn't wired into your tools is a demo, not a system.

AI agent setup is the work of turning an agent framework into a working part of your operations: picking one repetitive, judgment-heavy job, connecting the agent to the tools that job lives in (Notion, your CRM, forms, email), adding guardrails and human checkpoints, and deploying it somewhere you own. Done right, it's a scoped build measured in days and weeks — not an enterprise transformation program.

Everyone wants agents. Most setups stall at a chatbot that can talk but can't act — no access to your data, no guardrails, no clear job. Or they go the other way: an unsupervised agent let loose on production with no oversight, which is how you get expensive mistakes.

We set up agents that earn their place: scoped to a real, repetitive job, connected to your stack (Notion, your CRM, your forms, your data), and run with human-in-the-loop checkpoints so you stay in control. Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, or a custom build — chosen for your case, not the hype. Most of the enterprise 'agentic AI' market sells platforms and programs; we set up an agent that does one real job for a real team, on infrastructure you own.

What's included

Everything you get

Agent framework selection

Hermes, OpenClaw, or custom — chosen for your task, data, and risk tolerance, not the trend.

Tool & data integration

The agent connected to Notion, your CRM, forms, and APIs so it can actually do the work.

Task scoping & prompts

A clearly-bounded job with the prompts, context, and tools to do it reliably.

Guardrails & human-in-the-loop

Approval checkpoints and limits so the agent assists and escalates instead of running wild.

Deployment & hosting

Stood up on your VPS or cloud, with logging and monitoring so you can see what it does.

Handoff & documentation

How it works, how to change it, and how to extend it — so it's yours, not a black box.

How it works

A clear path from chaos to system

01

Pick the job

The free audit finds the ONE repetitive, judgment-heavy task an agent should own first — summarizing intake, drafting reports, triaging requests. Deterministic steps stay with plain automation; the agent gets the part that needs thinking.

02

Wire the tools

We connect the agent to the tools that job lives in — Notion, your CRM, forms, email — typically through MCP servers and scoped API tokens, so access is narrow, auditable, and revocable.

03

Prove it supervised

The agent runs read-mostly first: it reads, summarizes, and drafts while a human approves anything outward-facing. Only after it's boringly reliable does it earn scoped write access.

04

Extend the pattern

One proven agent becomes a repeatable pattern — same infrastructure, same guardrails, next task. You get the documentation and the keys; we're available on retainer, not required.

Outcomes

What you walk away with

  • An agent doing a real job, not a demo
  • Connected to your actual tools and data
  • Guardrails that keep you in control
  • A repeatable pattern you can extend to the next task

Who it's for

Founders and teams who want to put AI agents to work on real operational tasks — and want them set up safely and integrated, whether you're starting with Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, or a custom build.

FAQ

Common questions

What's the difference between Hermes Agent and OpenClaw?
They're different open agent frameworks with different strengths around tooling, autonomy, and how they integrate. We'll recommend the one that fits your task, your stack, and how much autonomy you're comfortable giving it — or a custom build if neither fits cleanly.
Can an AI agent connect to our existing tools?
That's the whole point of a real setup. We wire the agent into Notion, your CRM, forms, and APIs so it can read and act on your actual data — an agent that can't touch your tools is just a chatbot.
Is it safe to run an AI agent on our operations?
It is when it's scoped and supervised. We build with human-in-the-loop checkpoints, clear limits, and logging, so the agent assists and escalates rather than acting unchecked. We're deliberate about where full autonomy is and isn't appropriate.
Where does the agent run?
Typically on your own VPS or cloud so you own it and control access, with monitoring so you can see exactly what it's doing. We handle deployment and hand it over documented.
How do we start?
With a free audit to find the single repetitive task an agent should own first. We build that one properly, prove it, then extend the pattern — rather than boiling the ocean.
How much does AI agent setup cost?
A scoped first-agent build — one job, wired into your tools, with guardrails and documentation — typically lands in the $3k–$15k range depending on how many integrations it needs. Running costs are small: a $5–10/month VPS plus model usage. The free audit gives you a fixed number before anything starts.
Do we need an AI agent, or is workflow automation enough?
If the step is deterministic — form comes in, row gets created, notification goes out — a workflow tool (Relay.app, Make, n8n) is cheaper and more reliable. An agent earns its keep when the step needs judgment: summarizing messy input, drafting from context, deciding what deserves attention. Most real systems we build use both: automations move the data, the agent reads it and thinks.
What is MCP and why does it matter for agents?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the emerging standard for giving an agent typed, scoped access to tools — read this database, create that page — instead of raw credentials. Build the MCP layer once and the agent on top is swappable: the same endpoint works with Hermes, Claude, or ChatGPT connectors.
What should an agent's first task be?
Something read-mostly: reading a database and reporting, summarizing intake, drafting a weekly digest. Zero write risk, immediate daily value, and it builds the trust that earns the agent its next task. Starting with 'the agent manages our whole workspace' is how agent projects die in week two.
