Which Solution is Right for Your Firm?

For most professional services firms, custom AI automation offers the best long-term value. While CRM platforms and tools like Zapier are great for simple workflows, they can't handle complex, multi-step processes that span client onboarding, project management, invoicing, and reporting.

Custom AI automation integrates with all your systems (CRM, PM, accounting, email), learns your firm's processes, and handles end-to-end workflows—from client intake to invoice delivery. You get enterprise-level automation at SMB prices.
