What is AI automation for small businesses?
AI automation plugs AI agents into the repetitive work inside a small business — answering phone calls, generating quotes, booking appointments, replying to reviews, following up on invoices. The goal is to recover revenue you're currently leaking and free up your team's time. Typical impact is a 5-15% revenue lift within 90 days.
How much does an AI consultant cost for a small business?
Most AI consultants for small business charge $2,000-$5,000/month on retainer. SwiftAppLab's AI Starter plan is $1,999/month for one deployed AI workflow, AI Growth is $2,999/month for up to 3 workflows, and AI Scale is $4,999/month for full AI operations. The first discovery audit is free.
What kinds of AI can you build for my business?
The most common (and highest-ROI) AI workflows for small businesses are: AI phone receptionist that answers calls 24/7 and books appointments, AI quote bot that generates quotes from customer inquiries in minutes, AI booking assistant that fills your calendar, AI review replies that respond to Google/Yelp reviews, AI invoice follow-ups for collections, and custom AI agents tailored to your specific business.
What's the "free AI audit" — what actually happens?
On a 30-minute call, we look at your business and find the one area where you're leaking the most money — missed calls, slow quote turnaround, no-shows, uncollected invoices, whatever. We give you a concrete plan showing what an AI workflow would cost, what revenue it would recover, and how long it would take to deploy. No obligation. If you want us to build it, we do.
How fast can AI automation be deployed?
The first AI workflow is typically live within 3-7 days. An AI phone receptionist can be deployed in under a week if you already have a business phone number. More complex workflows like custom AI agents with multi-system integration take 2-4 weeks.
What industries do you work with?
We work with any small business that has repetitive customer-facing work: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, dental and medical offices, law firms, landscaping, roofing, auto repair, salons, real estate, property management, restaurants, and professional services. The common thread is businesses where a missed call or slow response costs hundreds to thousands of dollars in lost revenue.
Do I own the AI workflows you build?
The workflows live in your account — your Twilio number, your CRM, your Google Calendar. If you cancel, you can keep running them or export them. What you're paying for is our expertise to identify, build, tune, and maintain them, not hostage software.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. All AI automation plans are month-to-month. Cancel with 14 days notice and you're done. We don't lock you into annual contracts.
