Who automation is for

If you've ever thought “there has to be a faster way to do this,” there probably is.

  • “I copy and paste the same information all day.”

    Orders into spreadsheets. Leads into your CRM. Invoices into your accounting software. If you move data between the same tools every day, a script can do it in seconds, without typos.

  • “I spend my evenings on admin.”

    Reports, follow-up emails, reminders, and scheduling. You started a business to do the work, not the paperwork. I'll take the routine parts off your plate so your evenings are yours again.

  • “Our software doesn't talk to each other.”

    Your booking tool, your email, and your accounting each do their own thing, and you're the glue. I connect them so a new customer in one place shows up everywhere it should.

  • “The site we need data from has no export button.”

    Some portals only let you click through one page at a time. A browser automation can log in, pull what you need, and drop it where you want it, on a schedule.

What you get with a custom automation

Every automation is built around your business. Here's what that can include.

  • AI automations

    AI is good at the messy work simple rules can't handle: reading emails, sorting requests, pulling details out of documents, and drafting replies. I add it where it saves real time, and keep a person in the loop where it matters.

    • Email and inquiry sorting
    • Data pulled from PDFs and documents
    • Drafted replies for your review
    • Assistants that answer from your own info
  • Browser automations

    When a website has no way to connect to it, I automate the browser itself. It logs in, clicks through, fills in forms, and collects what you need, just like a person would, only faster and without the boredom.

    • Data collection from portals and sites
    • Automatic form filling
    • Scheduled reports and downloads
    • Alerts for changes or new listings
  • Custom workflows

    Some jobs need a small piece of software built just for you. I write workflows that connect your tools, run on a schedule, and let you know when something needs a human.

    • Connections between the apps you use
    • Spreadsheet and Google Sheets automation
    • Scheduled jobs and notifications
    • A simple log of what ran and when

I'll also tell you when an automation isn't worth building. If an off-the-shelf tool already does the job for a few dollars a month, I'll point you to it.

Automation work for clients

Automations run behind the scenes, so there's less to screenshot. Here's what I've built and what clients said about it.

Lead automation tool

Jack L.

A tool that provides high-quality leads for Jack's business, automatically updating each week. Before building anything, I took time to learn what qualifies a high-quality lead and how to find them, so the automation fit his exact process.

How an automation project works

  1. 1

    We talk

    A free 15-minute call. Walk me through the task that's eating your time: what goes in, what comes out, and where it tends to go wrong.

  2. 2

    I design and build

    I map out your process, then build the automation and run it against real examples from your business. You see it work before you rely on it.

  3. 3

    We launch

    I set it up to run on its own and show you how to check on it. When a site or tool you depend on changes, I update the automation so it keeps working.

What automation clients say

“Aidan built me an automated tool and it has changed the way my business runs. Not only did he create the tool but he also took the time to understand my business and help to cater the automation to fits my exact needs. I didn’t know this was something I needed! I highly recommend having a conversation with Aidan to see if your business could benefit. He’s an outside of the box thinker and genuinely wants to see his clients succeed.”

Automation questions, answered

Something else on your mind? Text me and I'll get back to you.

How much does a business automation cost?

Most automations are a flat-price project, based on how many tools are involved and how complex the logic is. Some also have small ongoing costs, like AI usage or hosting. I'll spell all of that out before we start.

How long does it take to set up an automation?

Simple, single-task automations are usually the quickest projects I do. Bigger workflows that touch several systems take longer. After our call I'll give you a timeline and a date to see it working.

What if a website or tool changes and the automation breaks?

It happens, especially with browser automations. I build in alerts so you know right away if something fails, and I'm a text away to fix it.

What do you need from me?

A walkthrough of the task, ideally a screen share or a quick recording of you doing it once. Then access to the tools involved and a few real examples to test against. That's usually it.

Is my business data safe?

I only ask for the access the automation needs, use accounts and keys in your business's name where possible, and don't keep copies of your data. For AI features, I use providers whose business terms don't train on your data.

Who owns the automation?

You do. The code, the accounts it runs on, and any keys or logins belong to your business. I document how it works so anyone could pick it up later.
