A Boutique AI Implementation Firm · Houston

Every Callout.
Handled.

We configure Claude for Small Business, connect it to the tools your team already uses, and install the automations that catch the revenue your office is too buried to chase. Installed inside your business — not bolted on top of it.

We start with the leaks your team already knows about — good leads dying in voicemail, inboxes, and spreadsheets.

The promise

Every callout. Answered. Followed up. Closed. Recapped.

Built and operated by a Houston team for owners who would rather ship one working automation than buy ten more dashboards.

What we actually do

Implementation, workflow design, and ongoing optimization.

Workflow-first, not tool-first. We sit with the owner and office, map how work actually moves, and only then decide what Claude should automate, what your team should keep, and what gets escalated. You are not buying another AI subscription to evaluate — you are hiring the partner who installs it.

01
Map the workflow

Sit with the owner and office. Trace where calls, quotes, invoices, and reviews actually move — and where they stall.

02
Configure Claude for Small Business

We set up Anthropic's Claude for Small Business as the engine, tuned to your trade, your tone, and your intake rules.

03
Connect your existing tools

Wire it into the stack you already pay for — CRM and dispatch, email and calendar, accounting and invoicing, intake forms, review platforms, reporting.

04
Install the automation

Missed-call capture, estimate follow-up, invoice chase, review requests, owner recaps. Built, tested, shipped.

05
Train the team

Office staff and techs learn what the system does, what it escalates, and how to read the daily recap.

06
Monitor and improve

Monthly review, monitoring, and a roadmap of the next workflow to install. Nothing gets abandoned.

Example stack categories we work with

The tools you already use are the starting point.

Common categories we work across:

  • CRM & dispatch
  • Email & calendar
  • Accounting & invoicing
  • Forms & intake
  • Review platforms
  • Phone systems
  • Spreadsheets
  • Owner reporting

Examples only. Exact integrations are verified during discovery before anything is promised.

See it in action

See an after-hours callout get handled automatically.

The same operational flow we install for trade operators — answer the call after 5pm, qualify the urgency, book or route the job, and text the owner the recap. Your rules decide what gets booked, escalated, or summarized.

01
Customer calls after hours
Phone rings into your existing line — usually no number change required; we confirm routing during discovery.
02
AI answers and qualifies urgency
Intake questions matched to the trade — no heat, gas smell, water leak, panel sparking, infestation. Qualification follows owner-approved rules.
03
Job is booked, routed, or summarized
Emergencies follow your existing on-call process. Standard jobs land in tomorrow's schedule.
04
Owner gets the full recap
Customer info, urgency, transcript, recording, and what was scheduled — by text.

Not a replacement for 911 or life-safety emergency response. Escalations follow your owner-approved rules and existing on-call process.

Sample outputs

What your owner recaps can look like.

Example formats — not from real customers. Final wording, fields, and cadence are tailored to your business during onboarding.

What we install

Operational automation, built into the business.

Each automation below is shipped as a working install — owner- approved rules, written escalation paths, and a measurement window before we hand it to your team. No prototypes, no half-built pilots sitting in someone's inbox.

After-hours call capture

An AI receptionist answers nights, weekends, and overflow. Qualifies urgency, then books or routes based on owner-approved escalation rules.

Estimate follow-up

Sequences that re-engage unsold estimates by text and email until they close or opt out.

Invoice chase

Branded reminders that recover unpaid invoices without anyone on your team making the call.

Review requests

Right-timed Google review asks after completed jobs, building local reputation on autopilot.

Membership / maintenance renewal

Renewal touches that protect recurring revenue and reactivate lapsed plans.

Owner reporting & summaries

Daily and weekly recaps: jobs booked, estimates recovered, invoices chased, reviews requested.

Ongoing support

Your automations should not be abandoned after launch.

AI projects often stall after launch — not because the tools broke, but because nobody owned the rollout. We do. Monthly review, monitoring, and a roadmap of the next workflow to install.

  • Monitoring and fixes
  • Monthly performance review
  • New workflow recommendations
  • Reporting on jobs booked, estimates recovered, invoices chased, reviews requested
  • Priority expansion builds
  • Clear, simple cancel terms
What we recover first

Revenue you're already leaving on the table.

Four plays we ship first because they pay back fastest and prove the system to your team. Each one ships with the metric we'll watch together — so "is this working?" stops being a feeling.

Example play

Missed call recovery

First automation to test
AI receptionist answers after-hours, qualifies emergencies, and books standard jobs. Emergencies follow your existing on-call process.
Metric to watch
Booked after-hours jobs / week
What good looks like
Potential first signal: calls after 5pm get answered, qualified, and tracked instead of disappearing into voicemail.

Validated against your numbers during discovery.

Example play

Unsold estimate follow-up

First automation to test
5-touch text + email sequence with owner-approved messaging.
Metric to watch
Estimate-to-close lift
What good looks like
Potential first signal: quotes nobody followed up on get systematic touches until they close or opt out.

Validated against your numbers during discovery.

Example play

Invoice chase

First automation to test
Polite branded reminders with payment links by text and email.
Metric to watch
Days sales outstanding
What good looks like
Potential first signal: invoices sitting unpaid get reminded automatically instead of waiting on someone to make the call.

Validated against your numbers during discovery.

Example play

Review generation

First automation to test
Right-timed review asks after job completion, routed to Google.
Metric to watch
New Google reviews / month
What good looks like
Potential first signal: the reviews you forgot to ask for get asked for, on time, every time.

Validated against your numbers during discovery.

Not a replacement for 911 or life-safety emergency response. Escalations follow your owner-approved rules and existing on-call process.

Prior enterprise AI roles
Implementation work with:
  • Blue Bell Creameries
  • Kodak Moments

Now focused on practical AI deployment for trade operators.

Founder-led

Buying the tool is easy.
Making it work inside the business is the hard part.

In prior enterprise AI roles, Brian helped customers including Blue Bell Creameries and Kodak Moments move AI from evaluation into real deployment.

That experience shaped the way CallouteAI works: map the workflow, configure Claude for Small Business, connect the existing tools, train the team, and stay close after launch.

For trade operators, that means practical automations around the revenue leaks you already feel: missed calls, unsold quotes, unpaid invoices, forgotten review requests, and owners flying blind.

Prior enterprise work; not CallouteAI customer claims. First trade case study in progress.

  • Enterprise AI sales & implementation background
  • Workflow mapping before tool selection
  • Founder-led discovery and go-live
  • Houston-based, operator-first
Revenue leak calculator

How much is leaking out of your business right now?

Count the missed calls after 5pm, the quotes nobody followed up on, and the invoices sitting unpaid. Directional only — we review the real math with you on the audit call.

Assumptions (editable)
Recovered weekly
$4,500
Recovered monthly
$28,000
Recovered annually
$336,000

Directional estimate. We review the real math with you.

How this estimate is calculated+
  • Missed-call recovery = missed / after-hours calls per week × booking rate × average job ticket.
  • Estimate recovery = monthly estimates × recovery rate × average estimate value.
  • Monthly recovery combines weekly call recovery converted to monthly plus estimate recovery.
  • Annual recovery = monthly recovery × 12.

This is directional, not a guarantee. Final numbers are reviewed during the audit.
