AI employees you own, not rent
ShooflyAI designs, builds, and operates AI employees for mid-market operators. You own the code, data, models, and IP, and you see a hard ROI estimate before you build.
What we build and run for you
Four services that take a workflow from idea to a running system your team owns. Most engagements use all four under one flat monthly retainer.
Strategy and Roadmap
We map your operation, find the workflows with the clearest payback, and put a hard ROI estimate on each one before any code gets written. You leave with a prioritized roadmap, an AI-readiness score, and a build-vs-buy call on every item.
Build and Integrate
We build the AI employees and wire them into the tools you already run. They pull from your structured data, follow your business logic, trigger real actions in your systems, and escalate to a person when judgment is needed. First workflows go live in weeks.
AI Employees
Goal-driven systems trained on how your business actually works. They answer calls, qualify and route leads, process intake, normalize data, generate reports, and produce content. Each one owns a defined job and produces clean output your team can act on.
Managed Operations
We do not disappear after launch. We keep your AI employees running, fix and extend them, add new workflows from the roadmap, and report measurable results to leadership every month. Build capacity, not a support ticket queue.
How delivery works, in three phases
Every engagement follows the same path. You prove value on a small footprint first, then expand from a roadmap you control.
Phase 1: Assessment
We start with a paid assessment so the build is grounded in real numbers. We map your operating model and existing tools, score AI readiness, and hand you a roadmap with a hard ROI estimate on each workflow. The assessment fee is credited 100 percent to your retainer when you move forward.
Phase 2: Foundation
In the first two months we stand up two to three quick-win workflows and get them live and producing measurable results. You own the work product on full payment. This is where most teams first see hours come back and errors drop.
Phase 3: Roadmap Delivery
From there we run continuous build against your roadmap. New workflows, new AI employees, integration maintenance, and a written roadmap update plus executive reporting every month. The system compounds into a durable business asset.
What you own when we are done
This is the core difference. Most AI vendors rent you access to a black box. We build infrastructure you keep. On full payment, the work product is yours.
The code
The full source for every AI employee and workflow we build.
Your data
Your data and the structured business objects stay in your control.
The models and logic
The decision logic and configured models that run your workflows.
The IP
You own the work product outright once the engagement is paid in full.
The workflows
The processes we automate stay yours and keep compounding over time.
The knowledge base
A dedicated second-brain plus runbooks and training so your team can operate it.
Proof in weeks, from a system they own
One reference engagement, with numbers we can stand behind.
We nearly doubled our close rate from 22% to 41%, cut our sales cycle from 3 weeks to 8 days, and grew average deal size from $15K to $28K. And we own all of it.Strickland · Operations leadership
How to start with us
Every engagement opens with a paid assessment so the plan is built on real numbers. The fee is credited 100 percent to your retainer.
Who this is built for
We work best with mid-market operators who run real volume and want owned systems, not experiments.
Mid-market operators
Companies from $10M to $75M and up in revenue with repeatable, manual work across departments.
Teams that want speed
Leaders who want live workflows and measurable movement in weeks, not a multi-quarter transformation.
Owners, not renters
Operators who want to own the code, data, and IP and turn AI into a business asset they keep.
Frequently asked questions
What does ShooflyAI actually do?
We design, build, and operate AI employees for mid-market operators. We map your workflows, put a hard ROI estimate on each one, build the AI employees, integrate them into your tools, and keep them running. You own the code, data, models, and IP.
What does it cost to work with ShooflyAI?
Engagements run on a flat monthly AI Operations Retainer starting at $4,500 per month on a 12-month term, with tiers that scale to scope. They open with a paid $6,000 AI Operating Assessment, with the fee credited 100 percent to your retainer.
Why do you require a paid assessment first?
The assessment is how we put real numbers on the work before anyone writes code. You get an AI-readiness score, a prioritized roadmap, and a hard ROI estimate on each workflow. The fee is credited 100 percent to your retainer, so it is not an extra cost when you move forward.
Do I really own what you build?
Yes. On full payment you own the work product outright, including the code, your data, the configured models and logic, the workflows, and the knowledge base. Shoofly keeps only its general methodology. You are buying infrastructure you keep, not access to a black box.
How fast will I see results?
First workflows typically go live in weeks. In our reference engagement, Strickland nearly doubled its close rate from 22% to 41%, cut its sales cycle from 3 weeks to 8 days, and grew average deal size from $15K to $28K.
How long does the engagement run?
The AI Operations Retainer is a 12-month term billed flat monthly. The first two months stand up quick-win workflows, and from there we run continuous build against your roadmap with monthly reporting.
