AI automation · Minneapolis

Your team is doing work a machine should be doing.

DeGonda Automates builds AI automations for small businesses and teaches their teams to run them. We take the repetitive parts of your operation, the meeting notes, the follow-ups, the phone calls, the data entry, and turn them into systems that run on their own. Then we hand you the keys and show you how it works.

Free 30-minute call. You leave with a written plan whether or not you hire us.

The problem

Nobody was hired to copy notes from one app into another.

Small businesses do not lose time to the hard parts of their work. They lose it to the connective tissue between the hard parts: retyping the same information into a second system, chasing a follow-up that should have gone out automatically, answering the same phone question for the ninth time this week.

Every one of those tasks is small enough to feel not worth fixing. Together they eat entire days. And because they are spread across people and tools, no single person sees the whole cost.

The tools to fix this got genuinely good in the last two years. Most small businesses have not adopted them, not because they are expensive or complicated, but because nobody has the time to sit down and figure out which parts of the job an AI can actually take over.

That figuring out is what we do.

The shift

Most businesses ask what they can ask AI. The question is what you can hand it.

Asking a chatbot to write an email saves you four minutes. Handing over an entire process saves you the four hours a week nobody has been tracking.

Where most businesses are

  • × One person quietly uses ChatGPT to draft emails
  • × The same information gets typed into three systems
  • × Follow-ups depend on somebody remembering
  • × The phone rings during the work that pays
  • × Nobody can say how many hours this costs

Where we take you

  • Whole processes run without being remembered
  • Information lands in every system once, correctly
  • Follow-ups draft themselves and wait for approval
  • Routine calls get handled without interrupting anyone
  • Your team can build the next one themselves

How it works

Four steps. No surprises in the middle.

You know the scope and the price before anything gets built, and you own everything at the end. No retainers you have to cancel, no systems that stop working when we stop talking.

  1. Discovery call

    Thirty minutes on video. We map how the work actually flows today, not how the org chart says it does, and identify which parts are worth automating first.

  2. Written scope and fixed price

    You get a document naming exactly what gets built, what it will do, what it will not do, and what it costs. You approve it before anything starts.

  3. Build and test

    We build it inside your own accounts and test it against real cases from your business, not demo data. You see it working before you sign off.

  4. Handoff and training

    A live walkthrough with whoever will use it daily, plus written instructions in plain language. Thirty days of support after that.

Built, not theorized

Systems that are running right now.

Every service we sell started as something built for real work. Where a result was not measured, this page says so rather than inventing a number.

Commercial real estate

~25properties screened in a single pass

Acquisition screening

Properties scored against ten client acquisition criteria, hard disqualifiers flagged automatically, and every open question collected into a diligence checklist.

Hours saved: unmeasured. The output was a ranked shortlist instead of a stack of PDFs.

Professional services

7manual steps replaced

Post-meeting workflow

Transcript pulled, summary written and filed, contact records updated, action items assigned, and the follow-up email drafted, all from one spoken sentence.

Runs in under two minutes. Trigger is one sentence.

Operations

40minutes of one-time setup

Weekly planning brief

A scheduled automation that reads the week that happened, ranks what next week actually demands, and delivers it before Friday afternoon ends.

Runs weekly. No maintenance required so far.

The training side

The Business Blueprint

Hiring someone to build one automation solves one problem. Understanding how to build them changes how you look at every process in your business.

The Business Blueprint is our training program: a structured walkthrough of how to use AI to automate your own operation, taught to you and your team on your own real work rather than on made-up examples. You finish with working automations you built yourself and the judgment to know which process to take on next.

It works on its own, and it works alongside a build. Most businesses do one automation with us and then take the Blueprint so they stop needing us for the next five.

What you leave with
  • A map of every process in your business worth automating, ranked
  • At least two working automations you built during the training
  • The judgment to tell a good candidate process from a bad one
  • Plain-language documentation your team can actually follow
  • An honest account of what AI still cannot do reliably

Pricing depends on team size and format. Tell us about your business and we will quote it.

Questions

The things people ask on the first call.

Do we need technical staff to run these automations?

No. Everything we build is operated in plain English by whoever already does the work. We hand over written instructions and walk your team through it live, so nobody needs to understand what is happening underneath.

How long does a typical build take?

Most single-workflow builds run two to three weeks from discovery call to handoff. Voice agents usually take three to four weeks because they need call scripting and testing against real conversations. Larger multi-process engagements are scoped after discovery.

What does it cost?

There is no list price because there is no standard build. Cost depends on how many steps a process has, which tools it touches, and whether your team wants training alongside it. The discovery call produces a fixed scope and a fixed price before any work starts.

What happens to our data?

The automations run inside your own accounts, on your own tools. We do not host your data or hold copies of it. Access can be revoked by you at any time without breaking anything we hand over.

What if the automation breaks after handoff?

Every build includes 30 days of support after handoff. Tools change, and something that worked in month one can need adjusting in month six, so ongoing support is available separately if you want it.

Do you only work with businesses in Minnesota?

No. The work is done remotely and we work with businesses across the United States. Discovery calls and training sessions happen over video.

Find out what is worth automating.

Thirty minutes, no cost, no pitch deck. We map your process and tell you honestly whether there is enough here to be worth building. Plenty of calls end with us saying not yet.
