FAQ — Automation & AI Consulting
-
What does Anamnesis AI Co. actually do?
We design and deploy practical automation and AI systems for small and mid-size teams. Think: lead capture to CRM, scheduling, invoicing, document flow, dashboards, and—with your data—custom assistants that answer questions and generate reports. We don’t sell tools; we architect solutions.
-
Zapier vs n8n—what’s the difference and which will you use?
Zapier = fast to deploy and easy to hand off to your team.
n8n = self-hosted, unlimited, and great for complex or sensitive flows.
We choose per project: quick wins often start in Zapier; heavier, long-term automations may live in n8n. -
Who is this for?
Owners and ops leads who are busy, tool-tangled, and under-automated. If you have repetitive work, multiple apps, and data you’re not using—this is for you.
-
Do we have to change our tools?
Not if you don’t want to. We integrate what you already use (Google Workspace, Slack, Calendly, Stripe/QuickBooks/Wave, HubSpot/other CRMs, DocuSign, Typeform/Tally, etc.). If a swap will clearly help, we’ll recommend options.
-
What outcomes can I expect in the first 30 days?
A working pilot that saves time (hours/week), fewer manual errors, faster responses, and a simple dashboard to prove it. Our four-week cadence is: Diagnose & Frame → Prototype → Deploy & Train → Prove & Close.
-
Can you build a custom AI assistant on our data?
Yes. We create domain-aware assistants that answer questions, draft emails, summarize meetings, and generate reports—grounded in your documents, FAQs, and systems. Guardrails, citations, and access controls are built-in.
-
How do you measure ROI?
We instrument time saved, error rates, lead response times, and completion throughput. Results show up on your dashboard, not in a slide deck.
-
Is data privacy handled?
Yes. We follow least-privilege access, store secrets securely, and prefer vendors with strong security posture. Self-hosted options (e.g., n8n) are available. For regulated environments, we can design HIPAA-eligible stacks using compliant vendors—implementation details depend on your setup.
-
Do you offer one-off fixes or only full projects?
Both. Choose the four-week “Fixer’s Special” for end-to-end transformation, or go à la carte: a new workflow, a custom report, an integration connector, a training session, or emergency “automation down” help.
-
What happens after launch?
We offer maintenance retainers (Essential, Growth, Enterprise) for check-ins, optimizations, new automations, and priority support. You’ll also keep clear docs and short training clips for your team.
-
Which industries do you support?
Patterns we deploy quickly: restaurants & hospitality, law firms, medical practices, real estate, and agencies/creative. The core playbook—intake, scheduling, docs, billing, reporting—adapts to most service businesses.
-
Our AI pilot already failed. Can you rescue it?
Yes. We audit what’s there, pull a small process out of the tangle, prove value with a simple pilot, then scale. Small, real wins > big promises.
-
How do we start?
Send a note from the contact form with your top three pains and the tools you use. We’ll propose a short discovery, a week-one plan, and the fastest path to a visible win.
-
When should we start?
Right now! I am looking forward to hearing your pain points. I genuinely enjoy resolving workflow problems and increasing efficiency. Help me help you automate your work flow.
-
How much does an automation project cost?
We scope after a short discovery. Most first wins fit in a four-week sprint (“Fixer’s Special”), and larger roll-outs are phased. We’ll give you a clear estimate and options before we start.
-
How fast can we start?
You can book discovery this week. Typical timeline: discovery (1–2 days), week-one diagnosis, and a working pilot by the end of week two.
-
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. We also work with least-privilege access and audit trails.
-
Do you work remotely / worldwide?
Yes—remote-first, operating across time zones.
-
What access do you need?
Admin or integration accounts for the tools we connect; SSO preferred.
-
What stack do you prefer?
Zapier or n8n; Google Workspace/HubSpot; Calendly; Stripe/QuickBooks/Wave; DocuSign; Typeform/Tally; Slack. We’ll use your tools when it makes sense.
-
What kinds of workflows do you automate?
Lead capture → CRM → notifications
Booking → calendar → confirmations & reminders
Invoice paid → status updates & emails
Email → task/owner → SLA tracking
Contract/proposal → e-sign → filing & handoffs
