SelfOperate

Build & run my business

AI workers for the recurring work, inside limits you set.

For an existing business, onboarding starts from $1,495 after an audit and exact quote, then $299 a month. With a new Build my business project, the separate fixed bundle is $1,995 upfront plus $299 a month. A small operating team keeps working inside limits you set: answering, drafting, sorting, following up.

01Two fees, two jobs

Why there is an activation fee

Activation covers connecting and configuring the operating system for your company. The monthly plan covers continued operation.

Activation, once

Scoped quoteonce

Durable setup. It stays yours even if you stop the monthly plan later.

  • Systems connected: inbox, CRM, scheduling, payments
  • Permissions set per worker: what it can do, must ask about, and cannot do
  • Company context built from your services, price book, service area and tone
  • Operating rules, approval thresholds and budgets agreed
  • Escalation routes defined, to you first and then to a person here
  • Recurring automations configured and tested before anything reaches a customer

Monthly, while it runs

$299per month

The operating layer itself, inside the limits you set.

  • Inbound lead handling and first replies
  • Quote drafting from your price rules, held for your approval
  • Inbox triage, routine replies and flagging what needs you
  • Follow-up and review requests at the right moment
  • Recurring monitoring of connected systems
  • Scheduled operational tasks and escalation when something is unclear

Build & Run is not an unlimited AI subscription. Workers operate inside the permissions, approval thresholds and budgets you set, and a fair-use policy for operating volume will be published before it could ever matter.

A new-business build and Run package is $1,995 upfront plus $299 a month. Existing-business onboarding is a Scoped quote after the audit, starting from $1,495; the starting figure is not a chargeable fixed price.

02The roster

Four workers. Each one has a permissions card.

A worker is a job with a boundary. What it can do, what it must ask you about, and what it cannot do are written down before it starts.

Further operational roles are added as they are proven in real companies. We do not announce them ahead of that.

02The limits

Autonomy is a dial, not a switch.

You set where it sits for each worker, and you can turn it down at any time. Anything customer-facing, irreversible or costly waits for your approval.

01Permissions
Each worker has an explicit list of what it can do, what it must ask about, and what it cannot do.
02Budgets
Anything that costs money has a cap you set. Workers stop at the cap and tell you.
03Approvals
Irreversible or customer-facing decisions wait for you. Approve from your phone.
04Company context
Workers use your services, pricing, service area and tone. Nothing generic.

04A working day

What they handle. Where they stop.

The point of Build & Run is not that you do nothing. It is that the work you do is the work only you can do.

This is one representative day in a detailing company running with Build & Run. Two moments in it are yours. Both are marked.

05Stopping

Stop any time. The company stays yours.

Build & Run is a monthly service on top of a company you already own. Ending it ends the service, not the company.

  1. 01

    When you stop

    The workers stop at the end of the period. Nothing they were handling is left mid-way without telling you.

  2. 02

    What you keep

    Everything. The company, the systems, the data, and the record of what the workers did.

  3. 03

    If you come back

    The workers resume with the same context and the same limits. Nothing is rebuilt.

Describe the company you want.

One sentence is enough to start. We will come back with research, a recommendation, and a plan you can approve or change before anything is built.
