What does an AI agency actually do for a business like mine?
The honest version: it should hand you finished work, not software. ISA installs AI systems that answer the phone, chase the follow-up, check the invoices and draft the admin, inside the tools you already run. You measure it in hours saved and money caught, on a weekly report, not in features.
Why a custom build instead of an off-the-shelf AI tool?
Off-the-shelf tools are fine at one task each, and someone still has to run them. We build around your actual workflows, your suppliers, your rules, then wire it into your existing systems so the work happens without a person babysitting five subscriptions. When one tool genuinely covers it, we say so, the audit is paid so it owes you the truth.
Where does our data live?
In your systems, on your accounts, under your control. We build inside your tenant, tell you plainly if any step touches an outside service, and hand everything back if you leave. If you need it hosted in Australia, we can do that too.
Does anything go out without a human seeing it?
Not if it matters. Anything client-facing or money-touching waits in an approval queue for your yes. The system does the drafting and the chasing, you stay the boss of what leaves the building.
What does it cost?
The flagship Full-Time AI Employee is a $9,997 + GST one-off install, and from day 31 it goes on Monthly Care from $497 + GST a month. Every engagement starts with the $500 audit, credited in full against the build. No discounts, we scope down instead, and the guarantee is in writing: the agreed ROI or we keep working until you get it.
Do you only work with Sydney businesses?
We are based in Sydney and most of our clients are Sydney service businesses, but the installs run inside your own tools, so we work Australia-wide. Sydney clients get the same founder-led process, just with the option of doing the audit across the table.
How long before we see it working?
The audit takes a day. A Full-Time AI Employee install goes live in 30 days, and we start with the workflow that leaks the most first, proven on your real work before we widen it. Faster, smaller starts like a website or a single workflow ship sooner.
