How it works

Three steps from first conversation to a system that runs itself.

1

Discovery call

We spend 30 minutes understanding your business, your current process, and where time is being lost. No pitch, just questions.

2

Scoped proposal

You get a fixed-price proposal with a clear scope of work, timeline, and milestone payment schedule. No surprises.

3

Build, launch, manage

We build it, deploy it, and manage it ongoing. You get a system that runs while you focus on the work only you can do.

Three ways to get started

Every engagement is a fixed build fee plus a monthly retainer. Pick the scope that fits — we'll confirm on the discovery call.

Entry point

AI Quick Win

One focused automation. Single use case, defined inputs and outputs.

$999 – $1,999
One-time build
+ $150 – $250/ month
Hosting, monitoring, and maintenance

The fastest way to get AI working in your business. One well-defined problem, one purpose-built solution. No integrations, no complexity — just a tool that does exactly what you need it to do.

Example use cases
  • AI-powered lead capture and response bot
  • Automated appointment scheduling with AI follow-up
  • Document classifier or intake form with AI extraction
  • Email auto-responder that drafts replies in your voice
Timeline: 1 – 2 week build

AI Agent System

Full AI agent with memory, tool access, and multi-source reasoning.

$8,000 – $18,000
One-time build
+ $500 – $1,200/ month
Hosting, monitoring, and maintenance

An AI agent that doesn't just route data — it thinks. Accesses multiple data sources, remembers context across sessions, makes decisions, and can interact directly with your customers or team. Full observability so you always know what it's doing and why.

Example use cases
  • Customer service agent with live CRM access
  • AI assistant that knows your entire business history (OpenBrain)
  • Multi-agent pipeline for complex business process automation
  • Internal operations agent with tool use and memory
Timeline: 4 – 8 week build

Fixed build fee. Milestone payments. No surprises.

Every engagement is quoted as a fixed build fee split across four milestones. You never pay for work before it's been done.

Step 4 of 4

The build fee is fixed at the proposal stage. If scope changes, we scope the change separately before doing the work. You'll never receive an invoice you weren't expecting.

The work doesn't stop at launch.

Every engagement includes an ongoing monthly retainer that covers everything it takes to keep your automation running and improving.

Hosting and infrastructure

Railway deployment, Supabase, uptime monitoring, error alerting, and SSL. Your system is watched 24/7.

AI API costs

Claude, OpenRouter, and any other AI API usage is passed through at cost plus a 15% management markup, billed monthly. No surprise API bills.

Maintenance and tuning

AI prompts need tuning as models update. Third-party integrations change their APIs. Edge cases surface after launch. We handle all of it.

MRR is month-to-month. Most clients move to an annual commitment after seeing the system run — annual commits include a 10% discount.

Add-ons

Additional services that pair with any AI automation engagement.

LLM Integration

For Apps Crestwork already built for you

$1,000 – $3,000
One-time · No separate hosting MRR

Already have a website or custom app we built? This engagement bolts AI directly onto your existing system — prompt engineering, model selection, guardrails, and API integration included.

OpenBrain Memory Layer

For Teams using multiple AI tools that don't share context

$2,500 – $5,000
Setup
+ $200 – $500 / month

A shared AI memory layer that any AI tool — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini — can read from and write to. Every AI session starts with context instead of zero. Connect it to every tool your business uses and stop re-explaining your business to every AI every time.

Not sure which tier fits your problem?

That's what the discovery call is for. We spend 30 minutes understanding your actual situation — what you do manually today, how long it takes, what tools you already use — and tell you exactly what you need and what it will cost. No pressure, no pitch. If it's not a fit, we'll tell you.

Most clients come in thinking they need Tier 3. Most actually need Tier 1 to start, with Tier 2 as a natural next step once they see what's possible.

Frequently asked questions

Do I own the code?+

Yes. You own your business-specific implementation outright. We retain ownership of the reusable engineering patterns we bring to every project — that's what lets us deliver quality work at these prices. You get a perpetual license to use our components as part of your system.

What happens if I want to cancel the monthly retainer?+

Month-to-month means you can cancel with 30 days notice. If you cancel, you receive a full handoff package: your codebase, documentation, deployment instructions, and 30 days of transition support at $200/hour. Everything you need to hand it to another developer or run it yourself.

Can you integrate with the tools I already use?+

Most likely yes. We've integrated with Gmail, Outlook, Google Sheets, Square, Stripe, Calendly, HubSpot, Slack, and most major tools via their APIs. The discovery call is where we confirm this — if your tool has an API, we can almost certainly connect to it.

How is this different from using Zapier or Make?+

Zapier and Make are no-code tools that connect apps with simple if-then rules. They're good for basic routing. We build AI into the workflow so it's actually thinking at each step — qualifying leads, drafting responses, making decisions based on context — not just moving data from A to B. And unlike Zapier, we own and manage the infrastructure so you're not building on a platform that can change pricing or terms.

What AI models do you use?+

Primarily Anthropic's Claude (Haiku for speed, Sonnet for quality). We select the right model for each task based on cost, speed, and accuracy requirements. The model choice is part of the proposal and can be adjusted over time.

Do I need a technical background to use this?+

No. We build the interface to match your comfort level. Non-technical clients get simple dashboards and clear outputs. More technical clients can have direct access to logs, configurations, and raw outputs. The discovery call helps us understand which you prefer.

What if the problem is bigger than we thought during the build?+

Fixed pricing means fixed pricing. If we underestimate scope, that's on us — we deliver what we quoted. If you add something new mid-build, we scope it as a separate change order before doing the work. You'll always know what you're agreeing to before work begins.

Ready to stop doing it manually?

Book a free 30-minute discovery call. We'll understand your situation, tell you what we'd build, and give you a fixed-price proposal within 48 hours.

No commitment required. If it's not a fit, we'll tell you — and point you toward something that is.
