AI automation agency
An engineer-led AI automation agency
Most AI automation agencies hand your project to a junior team and lock you into their tools. We're engineer-led: every engagement is scoped and led by our founder, built with you inside your own tools, and you keep everything — based in Marin, working nationwide.
The trouble with most AI automation agencies
The phrase "AI automation agency" usually means a sales rep who closes the deal, an offshore team who builds it, and a stack of tools you're now renting forever. When something breaks, you're filing a ticket and waiting.
We work differently. Marin AI is founded and led by an engineer who works with AI every day, and every engagement gets that senior attention — your project is never handed down a chain. We build inside your own accounts and tools wherever possible, document everything, and hand it over so your team can run it without us. No lock-in, no mystery.
What we automate
The highest-value automations are usually the boring, repetitive ones eating your team's hours. A few we build often:
Lead follow-up
Capture, qualify, and follow up with leads automatically — so nothing slips through the cracks.
Client onboarding
Intake forms, document collection, and welcome sequences that run themselves.
Reporting & dashboards
Pull your numbers together and write the weekly summary for you.
Content & marketing
Repeatable pipelines for drafts, social posts, and email — in your voice.
Customer support
Draft replies, answer FAQs, and triage tickets with a human in the loop.
Back-office ops
Data entry, invoicing, scheduling, and the admin work no one wants to do.
How a build works
Audit
A paid AI Opportunity Audit maps your workflows into an ROI-ranked plan — credited toward your build.
Build
We build the automations with you, inside your own tools, and test them on real work.
Train
We hand it over with documentation and train your team to run and tweak it.
Support
An optional monthly retainer keeps everything healthy and keeps improving it.
Transparent pricing
Most engagements follow the same path: a paid audit, a fixed-fee build, then optional monthly support. You own everything we build.

What is an AI automation agency?
An AI automation agency builds software automations powered by AI — things like lead follow-up, reporting, content pipelines, and customer support — so your team spends less time on repetitive work. The difference with us is that every engagement is scoped and led by our founding engineer, instead of being handed down a chain.
How much does it cost?
Most clients start with a $1,500 AI Opportunity Audit (credited toward the build), then a build from $4,000 depending on scope. Ongoing support retainers run $1,500 to $5,000 a month. You'll get a fixed quote before any build starts.
What tools do you use?
Whatever fits your business and that you can own — commonly ChatGPT, Claude, Zapier or Make, and your existing CRM, email, and docs. We avoid setups that trap you in a tool you can't leave.
Do I own what you build?
Yes. We build inside your accounts wherever possible and hand over full documentation. You own everything, with no lock-in. If we ever stop working together, your automations keep running.
Are you local to the Bay Area?
We're based in Fairfax, Marin County, and meet Bay Area clients in person. Most clients work with us remotely over Zoom — it works just as well, anywhere in the US.
