Decide what should be automated
Most of what people want automated shouldn't be, and the thing quietly eating six hours a week never gets mentioned. Working that out is the first hour.
AI integration specialist · North Port, Florida
AI automation for North Port businesses that actually does the work.
You asked ChatGPT to do the job. It gave you a to-do list, argued about it, and forgot half of what you told it. That isn't you being bad at AI — it's what these tools do without someone driving them. I'm the person who makes them do the work instead.
- From $750
- First project, fixed price
- 14 days
- Or you don't pay
- 1 person
- You always talk to me
The guarantee
Working in 14 days, or you don't pay.
Not "satisfaction guaranteed." A date. We agree a start day, and if it isn't live and doing its job 14 days later, you owe nothing and keep whatever I built. You've already watched AI waste your time once. This is how that becomes my problem instead of yours.
You've already tried this
You know exactly how it went.
You opened ChatGPT with something real. Not a poem — an actual job. And then:
- It explained how you could do the task, instead of doing it
- It asked four clarifying questions before touching anything
- It did 80% and left the fiddly 20% that was the actual work
- It forgot, halfway through, what you told it at the start
- It sounded completely confident while being wrong
So you stopped, and concluded AI isn't ready yet. It's a fair conclusion from the evidence. It's also wrong — and that gap is what I do for a living.
What I actually do
AI works fine. It just needs someone to drive it.
A chat window is not an integration. Getting AI to finish a real job, unsupervised, inside a business that already has its own systems — that's a specific skill, and it's the whole job.
Give it instructions it can't drift from
The difference between AI that works and AI that wanders is how tightly the job is specified. This is the part nobody enjoys, and the part that decides the outcome.
Connect it to your actual systems
Your calendar, inbox, spreadsheets, CRM, phone, whatever you already run on. AI that can't reach your real data can only ever give you advice.
Build in the checks
It will get things wrong. Something has to notice before your customer does. That means limits, validation, and a human approval point on anything that matters.
Test it until it stops surprising me
Not one happy-path demo. Dozens of runs, including the awkward ones, until it behaves the same way every time.
Answer the phone when it breaks
It will drift. An app will change under it. You'll reprompt it one day and stop it working. That's normal, and it's what a support plan is for.
Got something that's been annoying you for months?
Tell me about it
How we'd work together
Start with one thing. Then keep me around.
The first project is deliberately small — one job, done properly, so you can see whether this actually works before committing to anything. Most people then keep me on a monthly retainer, because the second and third things are always easier than the first.
You're not buying software. You're getting the person who knows how to make it behave.

"Like what?"
Things AI can actually be made to do
The builds people ask for most, and the ones worth knowing about right now. These are examples, not a menu — and not case studies, because I'm new and won't pretend otherwise. Your version will be specific to your business.
An AI answering service that picks up when you can't
Most requested build
- AI phone answering for the calls you'd otherwise miss, including nights and weekends
- Asks what they need, gets the details, texts you the job before you're off the ladder
- Sorts urgent from "can wait until Monday" before it reaches you
- You approve the script first; every call is recorded and readable
A chatbot service for your website that isn't useless
The one people regret buying off the shelf
- An AI chatbot for business that answers from your real prices, hours, and policies — not generic waffle
- Qualifies the enquiry and hands you a person worth calling, instead of a transcript
- Knows what it doesn't know, and says so rather than inventing an answer
AI customer service that doesn't annoy people
Where most companies get it wrong
- Handles the same four questions you answer forty times a week
- Escalates to a human the moment it's out of its depth — no loops, no "I didn't get that"
- Every conversation logged where you can read it
An AI assistant for the back office
Quotes, invoices, follow-ups
- Quotes chased until they're won or dead, without you remembering
- Invoice and payment reminders that go out on their own schedule
- Information stops being retyped into a second and third system
- One weekly summary of what came in, what's stuck, and what needs you
An AI agent for the boring computer work
Research, portals, documents
- Checking a portal, pulling records, preparing a document, gathering research
- Runs on a schedule or on request, and hands you the finished thing
- Includes self-hosted AI agents like OpenClaw, on hardware you own
Getting found when people ask AI instead of Google
Changing faster than anything else here
- BrightLocal's 2026 survey found 45% of people used AI to find a local business last year, up from 6%
- Ask ChatGPT for a company like yours right now and see whether you're in the answer
- Fixing what keeps you out of those answers is a small, self-contained project
Whatever's specific to you
Usually the best one
- If you do the same thing on a computer every week, it can probably be automated
- If it needs judgement, that stays with you and I automate everything around it
- If it isn't worth the money, I'll say so on the call
Pricing
Real numbers, before you call
I publish prices because hiding them wastes both our time. If your job is bigger than these numbers, you'll hear it on the first call, not at the proposal stage.
Step one: the build
From $750One job, scoped and quoted up front, fixed price. Most first projects land between $750 and $3,500 depending on how many systems have to talk to each other. Live in 14 days or you don't pay.
Thirty days of fixes are included after go-live, whatever you decide about support. Work too big to quote off a phone call gets a paid half-day to map it properly, credited against the build if you go ahead.
Step two: support, once it's live and you've seen it work
$250
One live automation. Someone to call when it misbehaves.
- Fixed when it drifts, stalls, or an app changes under it
- You changed something and broke it — covered, up to 3 times a month
- Small tweaks as your business changes
- A monthly note: what it did, what needs your attention
- Fixes started within 3 business days
$600
Up to 3 live automations. $200 each instead of $250.
- Everything in Keep it running
- One new small automation each quarter, included
- Fixes started the next business day
- Text me directly rather than waiting on email
$1,200
Up to 8 live automations. $150 each.
- Everything in the middle plan
- One new automation a month, included
- Same-day fixes on weekdays
- A quarterly sit-down on what else is worth automating
No commitment, and no markup:
Support is month to month — cancel any time, no notice period. I'm not asking you
to commit to a year on something you haven't watched work yet. If you'd rather prepay
twelve months, you get two of them free. Software and AI usage is billed to you
directly by those platforms at cost, typically $20–$250 a month depending on
what's running.
Who you get
You're hiring a person, not an agency.
I'm Oleg Boyarkin. I work with these tools every day, which mostly means I've already had the argument with them that you'd otherwise be having. I know where they quit, where they lie, and what it takes to get a job out of them reliably.
I do the work myself — so the person who scopes your job is the person who builds it and the person who picks up when it misbehaves. That's also the honest limit: three new builds a month. If I'm full, I'll tell you when I'm free rather than start something I can't finish in 14 days.

AI agents for small business
Getting help setting up AI agents for your business
Straight answers to what people ask before hiring someone. Written by Oleg Boyarkin, who does this work in North Port, Florida.
How can I get help setting up AI agents for my business?
Hire a specialist to set one up properly rather than buying another tool. The hard part isn't picking software — it's making AI do a job reliably without someone checking it. Gulf Coast AI Automation does this for businesses in North Port and Southwest Florida, starting at a fixed $750 for the first project, live in 14 days or you don't pay.
I tried ChatGPT and it just gave me a to-do list. Why would this be different?
Because a chat window isn't an integration. On its own, a general AI assistant will hedge, ask you questions back, do most of a task and leave the fiddly part, and forget context between sessions. Getting it to finish a real job unsupervised takes specific setup: clear instructions it can't drift from, access to your actual tools and data, checks that catch its mistakes, and a stopping point where a human approves anything that matters. That setup is the work.
What is an AI answering service, and is it worth it?
An AI answering service picks up calls a business can't get to, asks what the caller needs, captures the details, and passes the job on — day or night. It's worth it when calls are actually being missed: Invoca's data puts unanswered calls to home services at 27%, and the MIT lead-response study found you're 21 times more likely to qualify a lead if you respond within five minutes rather than thirty. If your phone is always answered within a couple of rings, you don't need one.
What does an AI chatbot service cost for a small business?
Setting up a chatbot service that answers from your real prices, hours, and policies is usually a $750 to $3,500 build depending on how much it needs to know and where the enquiries have to end up. Running costs are $20 to $250 a month, billed to you by the platforms at cost. Off-the-shelf website chatbots are cheaper and mostly disappoint, because nobody teaches them the specifics of your business — which is the entire job.
What is an AI integration specialist?
Someone who connects AI to the systems a business already runs on and makes it perform a defined job end to end. It's different from buying an AI product, which does one fixed thing, and different from using a chatbot, which answers questions but doesn't take action. The specialist's job is the part in between: deciding what should be automated, constraining the AI so it behaves, and staying responsible for it afterwards.
What does it cost to have AI set up for my business?
The build is a fixed price from $750, quoted up front after a free 20-minute call. Most first projects land between $750 and $3,500 depending on how many systems are involved. Once it's live, support is priced by how many automations it covers — $250 a month for one, $600 for up to three, $1,200 for up to eight — month to month, cancel any time.
| What | Price | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| First project (the build) | From $750, fixed | Live in 14 days |
| Support, 1 automation | $250/month | Cancel any time |
| Support, up to 3 | $600/month | Cancel any time |
| Support, up to 8 | $1,200/month | Cancel any time |
| Software & AI usage | $20–$250/month, at cost | Billed by the platforms |
What is OpenClaw, and can it run tasks for my business?
OpenClaw is a free, open-source AI agent that runs on hardware you own and takes instructions through ordinary messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, and Discord. It was built by Austrian developer Peter Steinberger, first released on 24 November 2025, and renamed to OpenClaw on 30 January 2026. It's MIT-licensed and, as of March 2026, had roughly 247,000 GitHub stars.
It can handle repeated computer work — checking a portal, pulling records, preparing a document — driven from a chat thread you already use. It's genuinely powerful and genuinely fiddly to set up safely, which is the usual reason someone else does it.
Will the AI do things without me seeing them?
No. Anything that spends money, changes a record, or reaches a customer stops and waits for a person to approve it. You see the instructions before it goes live, and everything it does is logged where you can read it.

FAQ
The things people actually ask
Can't I just do this myself with ChatGPT?
You can, and you already tried. It gave you homework. The difference isn't access to the tool — you have the same one I do — it's knowing how to pin a job down so it gets finished the same way every time, and wiring it into the systems you actually run on.
Why pay monthly? Isn't it done once it's built?
Think of it as tech support for something that's now running your business. AI drifts off task. Apps change their APIs. Models get swapped underneath you. And honestly, the most common one: someone goes in, reprompts it to do something slightly different, and the working automation stops working. That's not a criticism — it's what happens with a tool you can talk to. The plan is for someone to pick up the phone when it does.
What if I break it myself?
Covered, up to three times a month on any plan. You should be able to poke at your own system without worrying you've just broken something you'll be charged to fix. Beyond that, or if it needs rebuilding from scratch, you'll get a quote first.
Do I have to sign up for support?
No. Thirty days of fixes come with every build regardless. After that it's month to month, cancel any time, no notice period. I'm not going to ask you to commit to a year on something you haven't watched work yet. If you do want to prepay twelve months, you get two free.
What if it doesn't work?
If it isn't live and doing its job within 14 days of the agreed start, you don't pay. That's a delivery promise, not a results promise — I can't guarantee how many jobs you'll book. But I control how fast I build, so I'll put money on that.
Is this going to replace my staff?
No. Most businesses I talk to are short-staffed, not overstaffed. What gets automated is the work nobody wanted: the retyping, the chasing, the thing that only happens when someone remembers.
Do I have to switch software?
Usually not. I connect what you already have wherever it's possible. If something genuinely can't connect, you'll hear that before you pay, not after.
How much of my time does this take?
About 45 minutes total for a first project — a 20-minute call at the start, and a short review before it goes live. If a project needs more of your time than that, I've scoped it wrong.
Three builds a month
