Automation consulting for Winnipeg owner-operators
Growth stopped being a demand problem a while ago. It is a problem of how many hours you personally have, and you ran out of those.
You already know which parts of the week are a waste. Nobody has ever built you a way out of them.
Map it, price it, build it, hand you the keys.
Map it before you buy anything
An hour on a call walking through your actual last week, task by task, with honest numbers on what each one eats. Afterward you get it in writing: where the hours went, everything worth automating ranked by hours returned, one recommendation with a flat monthly price on it, and a short list of things to leave alone. Calls are $225 an hour, this one included. Free consultations produce free advice.
A price, not a meter
Build work is quoted as one number against a scope you approve first. It does not move if the job turns out to be harder than expected, and there is no hourly clock running in the background. You will not open an invoice from us and find a surprise in it.
Built into the software you already pay for
Jane, Jobber, QuickBooks, Clio, your booking page, your inbox, your phone. A good build makes the day quieter. It does not hand your front desk another login to remember. You review it, we revise it, then it goes live.
You get the keys
A walkthrough, a written runbook, and ownership of everything built for you. Nothing is held hostage, and no monthly fee is required to keep your own system running. If you want us watching it afterward that is a separate arrangement you can start or stop whenever.
What we automate
Enquiries answered in a minute, at 2 AM
Every new enquiry gets a reply in your voice, qualified against the questions you already ask, and booked. Anything the system should not touch goes to a person with the context attached.
Nobody assembles a package by hand
Forms sent, chased when they go quiet, collected, filed, and written into your system while your front desk does something that matters more.
The list you meant to get to
No-shows, quiet quotes, lapsed clients, unpaid invoices. Worked through on a schedule instead of whenever you happen to remember.
You stop starting from blank
Quotes, proposals, summaries, and reports drafted out of information you already have. Your job becomes reviewing and sending.
An assistant that knows your business
Trained on your own procedures and files, so staff stop interrupting you to ask something that was written down two years ago.
One Monday email instead of an afternoon
What came in, what closed, what stalled, what needs you. Built overnight, waiting when you sit down.
Clinics and practices
Dental, physio, chiro, counselling. The front desk is usually running a paper process at digital speed and losing patients in the gap.
- New patient enquiry answered and booked before they call the next clinic
- Intake and consent packages sent, chased, and filed automatically
- Recall and reactivation lists worked every week without anyone remembering
- No-show follow-up that fills the hole in the same day
Trades and contractors
The quote written at 9 PM after a full day on site is the quote that loses to whoever sent theirs at noon.
- Quote drafted from the enquiry, ready for you to price and send
- Follow-up on every quote that goes quiet, three touches, then stop
- Job photos pulled off phones and filed against the right job
- Invoice chasing that happens without an awkward phone call
Professional services
Law, accounting, bookkeeping, brokerage. Most of the week is intake, document handling, and telling clients where things stand.
- Client onboarding packages assembled and tracked to completion
- Document intake sorted, named, and filed where it belongs
- Status updates drafted from the file instead of from memory
- Deadline and renewal reminders that never depend on a person
Not a slide deck. Things that are running right now.
An AI assistant engine, multi-tenant
Built from scratch and running in production: separate assistants trained on separate businesses, each answering from that company's own documents, all on one platform we operate.
ai.nostedt.comA website platform with paying tenants
An editor, a renderer, hosting, and a client login, built end to end. Real client sites run on it today, with their owners editing their own pages.
nostedtsites.comA Winnipeg construction company
Site rebuilt, an assistant answering enquiries on it, and their Google Business Profile cleaned up and kept current. Ongoing work, not a one-off project.
A Manitoba auto shop
Moved off a template platform onto something they own, repositioned around the work that actually pays, with quote requests landing in one inbox instead of three.
Automations that run while nobody watches
Scheduled jobs that wake up on their own, check the thing they were built to check, and email a person only when there is something worth knowing.
Five businesses under one roof
Software, advertising, websites, autonomous agents, and this. All of it built and operated by the same person you would be hiring.
nostedt.comIf the first call is not worth what you paid, you get it back.
Say so before we hang up and the $225 is refunded, no argument and no awkwardness. That offer is easy to make because the hour is spent on your business rather than on a pitch, and almost nobody who has sat through one has asked for it back.
You are not buying software. You are buying your week back.
Three levels, one monthly price, no build fee bolted on the front. The first month is when the most gets built, and it keeps getting built every month after, because a business that stops changing is one that stopped growing. Everything is quoted as a flat monthly, never as an hourly meter, so you know the number before anything starts. Three month minimum, then month to month with 30 days notice.

What it costs to do this with people instead.
The honest comparison is not against software. It is against the hire you would make to get the same hours back, once you count CPP, EI, vacation, WCB and the desk they sit at. These are market figures for Manitoba, not a promise about your business.
A hire also takes six weeks to find, needs managing, books holidays, and leaves. A system does the same work at 2am on a Sunday and does not resign. The point is not that people are worse. It is that the work we take is the work nobody should be doing by hand in the first place.
Where the first call fits. Consultation is $225 an hour, including the first one, and it stays that way whether or not you ever hire us. That hour maps where your week actually goes and ranks what is worth automating. If you say at the end that it was not worth the money, it is refunded. Nothing about the monthly is charged until you have that map and agree to a number.
Nobody opened a business to answer the same email.
The hours come back whether you want them or not. What matters is what they turn into, because an owner who takes ten hours off the week and fills all ten with more admin has bought nothing. Here is what the owners we build for do with them.
The work you are actually good at
You did not become the best in your trade by processing intake forms. The hours that come back are the ones you can spend on the jobs, the quotes worth winning, and the clients who need you rather than your admin.
Growth that is not another 60 hour week
Most owner-operators cannot grow because growth means more admin, and there is no room left. Take the admin out of the equation and the next ten jobs cost you nothing you do not already have.
Dinner. Actual dinner.
The Sunday night inbox pass, the quotes written after the kids are down, the phone that goes off at the table. Those are the first hours a system takes, because they are the ones nobody should have been working anyway.
A business that runs without you in it
The work gets written down, built once, and it keeps running. That is also what makes a company worth buying one day, because a business that only functions when the owner is in the room is a job with extra steps.

An hour on the phone at $225, and you get the map in writing afterward. Worth keeping even if you never hire us for anything else.
