How it works

From process
to automation
in weeks.

You describe your process. We map it,
build the agent, and hand it off running.
No technical knowledge needed on your end.

01
🗺️
Map Your Process

We walk through your workflow with you, find where things break down, and define exactly what we're building before any work starts.

02
⚙️
We Build the Agent

We build the agent against your actual tools and data. Not a template. Not a demo. Something that runs in your environment from day one.

03
🧪
Test & Refine

You watch it run. We stress-test the edge cases, handle the exceptions, and keep tuning until the behavior matches what you agreed to.

04
🚀
Launch & Support

Your agent goes live. You get a Loom walkthrough and a written handoff doc. Your team can run it, modify it, or hand it off. No dependency on us.

2
You get a fixed quote

We quote a fixed number of hours. You multiply by our rate. That's your total, locked in writing.

3

No recurring fees. Your automation is yours forever. Optional maintenance retainer available.

Most builds run $4,000 to $10,000. All quotes are fixed in writing before we start.

Why Aplos AI

Built for
businesses
like yours.

We're not an enterprise software vendor. We're builders who specialize in the messy, specific processes that small and mid-size businesses actually deal with every day.

🏛️
Enterprise expertise, SMB speed

Our team has 40+ years of enterprise IT experience. We build systems that hold up, and we do it in weeks, not quarters.

🔒
Custom-built, no ongoing costs

We build directly against APIs by default — no middleware subscription keeping it alive. When a connector doesn't have an API, we use n8n (self-hosted) or Make as a fallback. Any unavoidable running costs are disclosed before you sign anything.

📋
Transparent, fixed pricing

Every project starts with a fixed scope and fixed hours. You approve the number before we start. The invoice matches the quote.

⚡
Fast deployment, 2 to 6 weeks

From discovery to live in 2 to 6 weeks. We've built these before. We don't need months to figure out the approach.

FAQ

a lot.

Most SMB automations cost between $4,000 and $15,000. We charge a fixed number of hours at $200/hr, so you know the exact cost before we start. Simple automations like appointment scheduling start around $4,000. More complex ones like employee onboarding or support bots run $10,000–$15,000. Every quote is fixed in writing before we build anything.

Most automations go live in 2 to 6 weeks. Simpler ones like scheduling or email campaigns take 1–3 weeks. More complex ones like employee onboarding or inventory management take 3–6 weeks. The biggest variable is how many systems we need to connect and how quickly your team can provide feedback during the review phase.

Yes, it's yours outright. Unlike SaaS tools that charge monthly forever, we hand off the automation and you own it. No recurring fees required to keep it running. We offer an optional maintenance retainer if you want us to monitor and update it over time, but it's never mandatory.

Custom-built first, always. Our default is to write the automation directly against your existing APIs — no middleware, no monthly subscription to a third-party tool keeping it alive. When a platform you use doesn't have an API that supports a custom build, we fall back to n8n, then Make.com, then Zapier — in that order — because n8n can be self-hosted with no per-task fees. The goal is always the lowest possible ongoing cost once the build is done. Any tool costs that can't be avoided (a minimal API fee, ad spend you choose to run) get disclosed upfront before we quote anything.

Zapier is a tool. We're the builders. Zapier handles simple two-step automations: if this happens, do that. Most real business processes involve complex logic, error handling, multiple systems, and AI decision-making that requires custom development. We design, build, test edge cases, and hand off a production-ready automation. Not just a connected Zap.

We focus on small and mid-size businesses, typically 5 to 250 employees. We're not built for solo freelancers or Fortune 500 enterprises. Our sweet spot is growing companies with real operational volume who are outgrowing their manual processes and need something that actually works reliably.

Book a call and tell us about it. If your process is repetitive and rule-based, we can almost certainly automate it. The listed automations are our most common ones. We scope custom processes on the discovery call and give you a fixed quote before anything starts.

It's 30 minutes. We'll walk through your workflow, understand what systems you're using, identify what can be automated, and give you a fixed hour estimate on the call. No vague proposals sent later. No sales pressure. Just a clear scope and a number. Then you decide.
