ADVISORY · HANDS-ON · UNTIL IT WORKSEST. 2025

We get AI actually working in your business.

Owner-operated companies bring us in to find the secure, sensible way to put AI to work. We sort the noise, design what fits your shop, wire it into your existing systems, and stay until your team owns it. Not before.

MANIFESTO

We tell you how. We connect the dots and the cables. We leave when you’re speechless. Not before.

Our standard. Every engagement.
What this means in practice

Senior operator on the call from day one. Working software by week one. We do not bill by the hour, we do not leave behind a deck, and we do not hand you off to a junior.

When the system is running without us, the engagement is done.

04 /  THE PROBLEM
FOUR PAINS WE HEAR EVERY WEEK

You don’t need another vendor. You need a partner.

Most AI noise is built for someone else. The teams that win bring in operators who’ve already shipped it.

01

The owner is the bottleneck.

Quotes typed by hand. Follow-ups never sent. Your most expensive hours doing the cheapest work.

02

Knowledge lives in heads.

Your best people leave on Friday. Monday, the shop stutters.

03

Generic SaaS doesn’t fit.

Off-the-shelf was built for someone else’s company. You bend until the next pitch shows up.

04

Most AI projects never ship.

Decks. Pilots. More decks. Nothing that runs on Monday morning.

05 /  RECENT WORK
6 ENGAGEMENTS · OWNER-OPERATED

Things we’ve shipped for SMBs.

Real engagements for owner-operated companies. Each one replaced manual work with a system that runs on its own.

01 · PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Conversational intake agent
Long web form
A short conversation
More enquiries finish

Warm leads now reach the GM with the context to follow up fast.

02 · MFG & FABRICATION
Quote generation agent
Quotes by hand
Drafted automatically
Hours back to the owner

Dimensions and material in, a drafted email and price out, consistent across every rep for the first time.

03 · OPS & KNOWLEDGE
SOP-grounded operations assistant
Questions to the founder
Answers from the playbook
Founder out of the loop

New staff onboard themselves against the company’s playbooks. The “how do we do X” question stopped landing on the founder.

04 · REAL ESTATE
Listing follow-up agent
Cold pipeline
Active conversations
Dormant leads revived

Pulled long-dormant inquiries back into conversation. Personalized follow-ups went out without a coordinator typing them.

05 · FIELD SERVICE
Dispatch & scheduling agent
Phone tag all day
Self-scheduled, confirmed
Fewer no-shows

Customers self-schedule, the agent confirms ahead of time, dispatch sees the route automatically. The phone stops ringing after hours.

06 · LEGAL & ACCOUNTING
Client document intake agent
Inbox chaos
Files presorted
Far less manual prep

Clients upload, the agent reads, sorts, and flags missing pieces. Partners walk in to organized files, not a pile of unread email.

02

vs. Big-firm consultancies

Strategy decks, RFPs, drawn-out engagements.

Working software you own. Still running long after we leave.
03

vs. Doing it yourself

07 /  HOW IT RUNS
FOUR STEPS · ONE OPERATOR

How an engagement runs.

Hands-on the whole way through.

01 / STEP
First

Discovery

A free call. We listen, we ask the hard questions, we tell you if AI is the right move. If not, we say so.

02 / STEP
Then

Scoped proposal

One page. What we build, the price, and what success looks like. No deck, no RFP.

03 / STEP
Build

Design and build

A senior operator runs your engagement end to end, with regular check-ins so nothing is a surprise.

04 / STEP
Handover

Handover and stay

Code, docs, runbook, and a walkthrough. Then we stay through the edge cases until your team owns it.

One senior partner runs your engagement from the first call through handover. No middle layer, no handoff.
08 /  ABOUT
SENIOR OPERATORS + ENGINEERS

Who you’re working with.

Mizmo is a senior team of operators and engineers. We’ve spent a decade inside owner-operated businesses, then another shipping software for them. We bring AI fluency, operator instincts, and accountability for results. Not a sales motion. Not an agency middle layer.

  • 01 ·

    Senior bench, no middle layer.

    The person scoping your engagement is the person delivering it. No PMs translating your problem into Jira tickets.

  • 02 ·

    Operators who ship code.

    We’ve lived inside the workflows we automate. We know what an extra hour at the end of the day is actually worth.

  • 03 ·

    Honest about when AI isn’t the answer.

    Sometimes the right answer is a process change, not a tool. We’ll tell you when that’s true and where we can still help.

04 / OPERATOR
One senior partner from first call through handover.
05 / WALK-AWAY
If the build doesn’t meet success criteria, you don’t pay.
06 / EXIT
No production access retained after handover. You’re independent.
09 /  FAQ
SIX QUESTIONS

Common questions.

No. You bring the business. We bring the engineering. The first conversation is in plain English about what’s hurting and why.
Chatbots reply. Agents take action. The systems we build can read, decide, write, and act across your tools: pulling data, drafting emails, updating records, routing work. A chatbot answers a question. An agent finishes the job.
Most engagements land between five and twenty thousand dollars depending on scope. Larger multi-agent systems are quoted separately. Pricing is fixed at the proposal stage. No hourly billing, no scope creep.
Every proposal sets clear success criteria up front. If the build doesn’t meet them, you don’t pay the build phase. We’d rather walk than ship something that doesn’t earn its keep.
Yes. Systems run inside your accounts, on your stack. We don’t retain your data. Access can be revoked on day one of handover. NDAs and DPAs are standard.
Yes. An optional monthly partnership covers tuning, edge cases, and small additions. Or your team takes the code and runs it. Your call.
