Your Own AI Virtual Assistant.
Set Up For You.
No Tech Skills Required.

Ivy League-educated engineer. 20 years at eBay, SAP, Cox. I got tired of watching small business owners get sold snake oil by "AI agencies." So I started building real virtual assistants that actually work.

Sound Familiar?

You've probably tried:

❌
ChatGPT Plus ($20/mo) — forgets everything, can't actually do anything
❌
Zapier + a dozen tools ($200/mo) — breaks constantly, you become the IT department
❌
An "AI Agency" ($5-15k) — they build a chatbot, take the money, and vanish
❌
A human VA ($1500/mo) — works, but needs training, managing, and doesn't scale

What you actually need:

✅A virtual assistant that knows your business, your clients, your preferences
✅Available 24/7 without you checking on it
✅Connected to your real tools: email, calendar, CRM
✅Learns and improves as you use it
✅Costs a fraction of a human VA

Who's Behind This

Henry Robinson

Ivy League-educated engineer. 20 years at eBay, SAP, Cox.

I spent two decades building products at big tech companies and startups. I know what AI can actually do. I also know what's being sold as "AI automation" to small business owners is mostly garbage.

The technology to run your own AI virtual assistant exists. It's open source and powerful. But setting it up right takes engineering skills most people don't have.

I handle the technical work. You focus on running your business.

No agency. No course. Just an engineer who builds things that work.

Questions

15 minutes. I'll tell you if a virtual assistant makes sense for your business.

No sales pitch. If it's not right for you, I'll say so.
