Build it with you, not for you.
CoBuild is AI automation for small businesses — without hiring an engineer. We sit down with you (up to 3 people from your team), build real automations in your stack, one project at a time, and leave you with the skills to keep going.
Sound like you?
CoBuild is built for people who are ready to move — not just explore.
The solo operator
You're running the whole thing. You know what's eating your time. You need someone to build it with you, fast, and teach you enough to own it.
The lean team
You've got 2-5 people, one of them is half-technical. You don't need a consultant to hand over a black box — you need a partner who builds in the open.
The owner who wants to stay hands-on
You want to understand what got built. You want to be able to tweak it next quarter when things change.
Four steps. No ambiguity.
Tell us the vision
Short survey, we read it, we call you back.
Scope together
One call to agree on what we're building, how long, and what you'll walk away knowing.
Build side-by-side
Working sessions in your stack. You drive, we guide. Everything gets documented.
Own it forever
Automations run, you know how they work, you can extend them. We're done — until you want us back.

FAQ
How is this different from the Cohort?
CoBuild is up to 3 people, one project at a time, scoped to fit your business. The Cohort is a structured 3-month program for teams of 4-12 with more curriculum and group sessions.
How long does an engagement take?
Depends on scope — we tailor. Most fall between a single-automation build (~4 weeks) and a multi-automation block (~8 weeks).
What does it cost?
Scoped to your engagement. Contact us for a quote — we'll send one after the scoping call.
What tools do you use?
Yours. We're tool-agnostic. If you're on Gmail, HubSpot, and Sheets, we build there. If you're on Outlook, Salesforce, and Notion, we build there.
Do I need to be technical?
No. We build with business users all the time. If you use email and spreadsheets, you can do this.
What if we don't know what to automate yet?
That's what the intake and scoping call are for. We help you find the shape of the work before we start building.
