The AI transformation partner for small businesses.
We help owner-led services businesses turn scattered AI experiments into working systems — mapped to your real workflows, built around your team, and operated alongside you.
Audit the work · Build the system · Run it with you
You've tried AI. It didn't stick.
You've messed with ChatGPT. Maybe paid for a chatbot nobody uses, or another seat license that went stale. More logins, more data in someone else's cloud, and nothing actually changed how the business runs.
The problem isn't the models — it's the wiring. AI that doesn't know your company or see your tools won't run anything real.
That's what we do. Strategy, setup, and ongoing operations — under one relationship.
What this looks like, day to day.
Small repetitive work that used to eat hours, handed off to the AI layer — with a human still in charge of what ships.
Lead intake
Pull leads from email, forms, and voicemails. Draft the follow-up and the CRM record. Human approves the send.
Internal knowledge search
SOPs, contracts, playbooks, and client files — answerable by what your team would actually ask.
Bid and proposal drafts
First-draft proposals from past work, pricing, and project notes. The human ships the final.
Daily operations reports
A morning read across CRM, scheduling, billing, and inbox — what changed, what's blocked, what needs eyes.
Dispatch and follow-up
Reminders, status updates, and next steps drafted automatically. Nothing sends without a human in the loop.
Meeting prep and recap
Every relevant thread and doc pulled before the meeting. Decisions and action items captured after.
Free entry. One paid Audit. Then a real relationship.
Free Discovery Call. Paid AI Audit to map the work. Managed Retainer to build and run it. Same David at every step.
Discovery Call
Tell me what you're trying to do. I'll tell you if Automatic is the right partner.
AI Audit
We map the workflows and ship a real plan — Opportunity Report, systems map, and first build spec. Yours to act on with us or without.
Managed Retainer
Where the system earns its keep. Three tiers calibrated by depth of involvement. Same David across all of them.
Whatever your company actually needs from AI.
Some clients need private local AI. Some need Claude Enterprise wired into their stack. Most have a mix. We figure out which path fits during the Audit.
Private / local AI
When data can't leave your environment, we deploy local models on hardware you control.
Claude Enterprise + skills + MCP
Claude rolled out to the team, with custom skills and secure bridges into your CRM, files, and tools.
Custom apps, plugins, and tools
Internal AI apps and agent workflows built around the work your team actually does each week.
BusinessOS workspace setup
The folder, file, and process structure that lets humans and AI agents find the right info fast.
Documents and knowledge, searchable
Contracts, SOPs, playbooks, and client files — answerable instead of buried in Drive.
Agents for repeat work
Renewals, dispatch follow-up, bid drafts, daily reports — with human review before anything ships.
How we work, no matter the tier.
Setup is real work and gets paid for. Discovery is never free strategy in disguise.
Access, not hours. Retainer tiers calibrate depth of involvement, not a meter.
Same David across tiers. What changes is involvement, not who's doing the work.
Month to month. 60-day check-ins. Scope grows with the partnership.
Just want my brain for an hour?
Paid Office Hours — for a specific question (vendor pick, architecture call, what to build next) when you don't want a full engagement. Pay to book, leave with a real answer.
We built this for ourselves first.
We built an AI system to run our own company — scanning email, prepping meetings, tracking revenue, reviewing code, drafting client work. After a year on it, the pattern was obvious.
Most owner-led businesses already have the software they need. What they're missing is a partner who maps how the team actually works and builds the AI layer around it. So that's what we do — bespoke, built around the people doing the work, operated after it's live.
Automatic was founded by David Flynn, a technical product leader who's shipped 80+ products. Headquartered in Nashville; local arm is NashvilleAI.Studio. Embedded partner model — direct, fast, focused on getting something live.
What people say
“I sent David a Loom of a bug at 9pm. It was fixed and deployed before I woke up. We have a complex operation with hundreds of tasks and team members — he's the only dev I've worked with who actually digs in instead of giving me a timeline and a quote.”
Jeremy Hege
Founder, Onyx Construction
“David works like a technical co-founder, not a contractor. He's deep in the code, understands the product, and will push back when something should be done differently. That's genuinely hard to find.”
Darren Colclough
Co-Founder, Gameplan
“Most developers build what you tell them to. David built what we actually needed — which was different. He understood our distribution network, the compliance angle, and designed the product around how our clients really operate.”
Rathi
Founder, SubOps
“Polished, professional, done fast — and at a fraction of what agencies quoted. David just gets it done.”
Jordan Bankhead
Founder, Mt. Gaines Rock
“I didn't know where to start with AI. David came in, mapped out exactly where the leverage was, and we had something working within two weeks. No fluff, no bloated project plan.”

Owner, Radon1
