AI automation agency · verified n8n creator · US-based

AI automation agency & consultant. Systems that run your operations.

Most AI-automation agencies wire a chatbot to a spreadsheet and call it transformation. I build the automation layer serious teams keep wishing they had — and I run one myself: HarperFlow, my content-automation platform. Projects start at $5,000.

What I actually do

I engineer automations the way software gets built.

Real automation is engineering: mapping where work breaks, designing typed and observable systems, building AI-in-the-loop workflows with a human veto, and owning them in production. Keyword to published, lead to booked, document to done.

The moat

Most AI agencies sell slide decks. I run a live product.

HarperFlow is a live AI content-automation platform I built and own, with paying customers. This site’s blog runs on it. You’re not hiring a reseller learning on your budget. You’re hiring the person who productized this.

Transparent pricing

What automation projects cost.

A short paid audit tells us what’s worth building before you commit. Most projects land between $5,000 and $20,000.

Diagnostic Audit
$1,500 fixed

A deep look at your operations and the highest-return automations. Credited toward a build if you proceed.

Fixed-price buildMost projects
from $5,000

A fixed scope and a fixed price. You know the number before I start.

Guarantee

The price we agree is the price you pay.

Every build is scoped and fixed-price, with no surprise invoices. If the Diagnostic Audit doesn’t surface automations worth more than it costs, you don’t proceed and we part as friends.

FAQ

What clients ask before they book.

What does an AI automation agency do?
Designs, builds, and runs the systems that automate your operations across content, ops, sales, and support, with AI in the loop where it earns its place.
AI automation agency vs consultant vs freelancer?
A consultant scopes and architects; an agency builds and maintains; a freelancer does a task. I do the first two, so strategy and build don’t fall apart at the handoff.
How much does AI automation cost?
A $1,500 fixed Diagnostic Audit to scope, then fixed-price builds from $5,000 (most $5k–$20k). No hourly meter.
What makes you different?
I own a live automation product (HarperFlow), I’m a verified n8n creator, and I’m a credentialed, named builder rather than an anonymous team.
Do you work with agencies and publishers?
Yes. Content agencies, publishers, and funded startups shipping content at volume are the focus.
Do you build on n8n specifically?
n8n is the core, plus custom code for what drag-and-drop can’t do. See the n8n services page for detail.
How fast can we start?
The Diagnostic Audit can usually be booked within the week; builds go live in weeks.
Where are you based — and who do you work with?
Better Brain Lab LLC is a US-registered company, and I work with clients across the world. Calls are easy to book across time zones.
