The problem comes first
We start from what is actually costing you time and money, then reach for the simplest tool that fixes it. Sometimes that is AI. Sometimes it is a setting you already pay for. We are not here to sell you software.
We kept seeing good local businesses do work a computer could handle, so we decided to fix that. We sit down with your team, find where the hours are actually going, and fix it with the simplest tool that does the job, not the flashiest AI.

How we work
Most of what slows a business down does not need fancy AI. It needs someone who will look closely, care about the outcome, and set up the simplest thing that works.
We start from what is actually costing you time and money, then reach for the simplest tool that fixes it. Sometimes that is AI. Sometimes it is a setting you already pay for. We are not here to sell you software.
We've worked across finance, coding, and AI. We can read your numbers and we can build the fix ourselves, so you're not handing your business to someone who only understands one half of it.
Everything we set up is yours, documented in plain language, with your team trained to run it. We would rather you not need us than keep you on a subscription you cannot leave.
Start here
Pick your industry. These are the tasks we find over and over again on the first visit.
What we do
You do not need to know anything about AI before we show up. That is the entire point.
We sit down with your team, in person or virtual, figure out where the week goes, and tell you what's worth automating and what isn't. Free, every time.
We scope, build, and deploy one bespoke automation, wired into the software you already pay for, then train your team to run and troubleshoot it themselves.
Want to build things yourselves, or keep us close? As many hands-on training sessions as you want on your own use case, plus optional monthly support for tweaks and fixes.
How it works
Tell us what eats your week, in person or virtual. We look at how you work, tell you what's worth automating and what isn't, and say so honestly if AI isn't the right fix.
We map the process, confirm what's feasible with the software you already pay for, and hand you a written scope: what we're building, what it won't do, and a fixed build price.
We build to the agreed scope with your team learning as we go, then hand it over with written instructions and 14 days of support. You own everything we build.
Optional monthly support for tweaks, fixes, and small additions. No lock-in — keep us only as long as it earns its keep.
Why this is worth doing
of U.S. work hours could be automated with technology that exists today.
McKinsey Global Institute, 2025of the average workday goes to "work about work" — chasing status, searching, re-entering — not the actual job.

Pricing
Both paths begin with the same free conversation. Every time shown is your time commitment, not ours — our build time is longer.
Fixed price in writing before we build.
Requires less than $50 a month in AI tools. Most clients pay about $20.

Book the free consultationWe don't quote a build before we've seen how you actually work — the honest number depends on your process. After the scoping session you get one fixed price in writing, and it doesn't move. No hourly billing, no scope creep, no invoice you didn't expect.
Ongoing Support · $100–$150/hrOptional
No retainer, no monthly fee. We bill hourly, only when you need fixes, updates, or small additions as your business changes.
Our guarantee
Scoping ends with a written scope: what we're building, what it won't do, and a fixed price. If the finished automation doesn't do what we agree on, you won't be charged until it's right.
Start with the free consultation: twenty minutes, no obligation — you'll leave knowing which path fits.
About the founders
Duke undergraduate student concentrating on growth, positioning, and client strategy. Spent the last few years working with small businesses and kept running into the same problem: talented people spending half their week on work a computer could handle. Now spends his time figuring out where AI actually earns its place in a business and where it's just noise.
Duke undergraduate student specializing in data science, AI, and analytics. Has built financial models and forecasts for a business intelligence team and evaluated live business initiatives to find what was actually driving results. Works hands-on with the AI tools reshaping how businesses run, and knows where they hold up and where they don't.
We started regAInit because we kept seeing the same thing around Durham. A front desk retyping the same information into three systems. An owner writing the same quote for the fortieth time. A manager spending Sunday night on a schedule that should take ten minutes.
The tools to fix that already exist and they are not expensive. What is missing is somebody who will come sit with your team, figure out what actually applies to you, and set it up properly. Between us we come from finance and engineering, so we care more about fixing the real problem than about using the trendiest tool. We use the simplest thing that works, then teach you to run it yourself.
