AI Automation for Oregon Businesses, Statewide

AI Business Harness is a managed AI automation service serving businesses across Oregon and Arizona. We design, build and run AI workflows for businesses across the state, on the software you already use: answering and sorting inquiries, drafting follow-ups, updating records and keeping routine work moving. Important actions wait for a person to approve them.

Prefer to have it built for you? AI Business Harness is a managed service that builds and runs workflows like this on the software you already use, with human approval on important actions. Book a 20-minute Fit Call, or talk to the live voice demo to hear our AI front desk first.

Who runs AI Business Harness

AI Business Harness is a Mandile SEO service, run by Jeremy Mandile. We work in Pacific time and focus on the kinds of businesses that keep the state running: trades and home services, property managers, professional firms, clinics and offices.

Most of the work is remote, even for clients nearby. AI workflows live in your phone system, inbox, CRM and scheduling tools, so that's where we build and test them, with you on a video call.

Serving businesses across Oregon

If you searched for an AI automation agency in Portland, an AI consultant in Portland or an AI receptionist in Oregon, this is the service you'd get. We serve the Portland area, the Willamette Valley and the rest of Oregon the same way: statewide, managed and remote.

Medical and dental offices looking at an after-hours answering service can use an AI front desk for routine calls, with clinical questions and emergencies always handed to people. See the guide for dental and medical groups. Health information needs a HIPAA review, which we scope in writing before anything is built.

What we set up

Most first projects are one of these, built on the software you already use:

• An AI front desk for calls. It answers as an AI, follows your approved facts, collects the basics and hands off to a person. Talk to the live voice demo to hear one, or see after-hours AI answering for HVAC and plumbing.
• Estimate and quote follow-up. Drafted follow-ups for open estimates, approved by your team before they're sent. See estimate follow-up software for contractors.
• Inbox triage. Incoming email sorted, summarized and drafted for review. See the AI email assistant guide.
• Lead response and CRM updates. New inquiries logged and answered quickly, with a person approving anything customer-facing. See AI inquiry handling for real estate brokerages and the Follow Up Boss AI integration guide.
• Intake for professional firms. Calls sorted and routed with a strict off-limits list. See AI intake for law firms and the dental office checklist.

In every case, anything important waits for a person to approve it, and every action is logged. Here's how human approval works in AI workflows.

How remote delivery works

1. Fit Call (20 minutes). We talk through one workflow and tell you honestly whether it's worth automating.
2. Scoping. We agree on the finish line, the tools involved, who approves what and the price, in writing.
3. Access you control. You grant the minimum access the workflow needs, and you can remove it at any time.
4. Build and test with your team. We test on sample data and run test calls or test messages with you before anything reaches a customer.
5. Day-30 review. We compare results against your baseline, and you keep it, adjust it or stop it.

We're in Oregon, so we work on Pacific time. Arizona clients are scheduled around their time zone.

Pricing

A 30-Day Installation covers up to two defined workflows, from $5,000 one-time. If you keep it, managed operations (the AI Operations Partner) are from $5,000 a month on a 90-day starting term. Third-party software and usage are billed separately and identified during scoping. Every engagement is custom-scoped, and the price is confirmed in writing before work begins. For the line-by-line version, see what the 30-Day Installation includes.

What we won't claim

We don't promise results before measuring how your workflow runs today, and we'll tell you if a workflow isn't worth automating. We also serve Arizona: see AI automation for Arizona businesses.
