The problem
Your business shouldn’t depend on repetitive work.
Worked example
~$12,000/year
One person, one day a week, re-typing between systems. It never shows up as a line item, so it rarely gets fixed.
$55,000 salary ÷ 230 working days × 48 days. Use your own numbers.
- You run a stack of tools that don’t talk to each other
- Someone senior spends hours a week re-entering the same data
- You’ve outgrown spreadsheets but don’t want another rigid platform
Sound familiar? That’s the work we take out.
Six links, held together by hand. Miss one and the invoice goes out wrong.
What we build
Where we usually remove manual work.
You don’t need another app. You need the tools you already pay for to talk to each other, in the right order, without a person in the middle.

What it costs
Published prices. Fixed scope.
1–2 weeks
Automation Audit
From $500
We map one workflow end to end and hand you the diagram, what the leak is costing, and a fixed quote to fix it. Credited in full against your build.
3–5 weeks typical
First System
Quoted after the Audit
One workflow, built, documented and handed over. The price is fixed in writing after the Audit and does not move while we build.
Ongoing
Operations Partner
From $1,500
A standing engagement for teams automating more than one thing. We keep building, keep it running, and stay accountable for uptime.
The number doesn’t move
Scope is fixed in writing before we start. Overruns are ours to absorb.
You own everything
Code and accounts in your name from day one. No lock-in, no license to keep paying.
A senior engineer, start to finish
The person who scopes your build writes the code. No hand-off to a junior.
90 days of maintenance, included
After handover we keep it running at no extra cost. Breakages and API changes are ours.
If it isn’t worth automating yet, we say so before you spend. We take on a limited number of builds at a time, so the engineering stays senior and hands-on — while the calendar has room, these terms hold.

Over 10 workflows working in sync.
I worked with Niraj on an n8n project that comprised of over 10 workflows working in sync. He improved the efficiency, added new features with ease and deployed custom code where necessary — showing that he’s more than just a no/low-code developer which is very valuable in this day and age. I would not hesitate to recommend him if you’re looking for professional execution and strong communication!
A solid foundation for my automation agency.
Hired Niraj to build out a website for me at automatedbureaucracy.com and he delivered a great full stack application that provides a solid foundation for my automation agency.
One of the most versatile professionals I have come across.
One of the most versatile professionals I have come across. His eagerness to learn new things is truly inspiring — whether it’s picking up a new skill, exploring a different approach, or taking on a challenge outside his comfort zone. His incredible ability to take even the harshest criticism in stride sets him apart even more.
FAQ
Common questions
What people ask before getting in touch. Cost is covered in more detail on the pricing page.
Ask us directlyHow much does workflow automation cost?
An Automation Audit starts at $500 and is credited in full against your build. The build itself is quoted after the Audit, because one workflow can be a few days of work or several weeks — a number given before anyone has looked at your process is a guess. Ongoing support starts at $1,500 per month.
We don’t know what to automate yet — where do we start?
Start with an Automation Audit; that is exactly what it is for. We map one workflow, put a number on what it is costing you, and come back with a fixed quote — or an honest “not worth it yet”. The first conversation before that is free.
How long does it take to automate a workflow?
The Automation Audit takes one to two weeks, and a single workflow typically takes three to five weeks from kickoff to handover after that. You see working automation during the build rather than at the end of it.
Do we own the automation you build?
Yes. Code, accounts and credentials are in your name from the start, and you get runbooks and diagrams written as we ship. The systems keep running if you never speak to us again.
Which tools do you build with?
We build with the tools you already run, connected with custom services where an off-the-shelf connector will not hold up. We use platforms like n8n, Make or Zapier when they genuinely fit, and custom code when reliability matters more than speed of assembly.
When should a business use an AI agent instead of a rule?
Use a rule when the logic can be written down and will not change; use a model only when the task needs judgment a rule cannot express, such as classification, extraction or drafting. Every model call we ship is wrapped in guardrails, logging and human review.
Where are your clients based?
Everywhere. The work is remote and asynchronous by nature — we map workflows over a call, then build and hand over. Calls are scheduled to whichever time zone you are in, and we keep overlapping hours with most of them. Pricing is quoted in USD.
Tell us what’s still done by hand.
One workflow, honestly described. We’ll map it and tell you whether it’s worth automating.
