The AI tool your business actually needs.
Not the other 39 features.
Enterprise vendors sell $50k AI platforms with dashboards you'll never open. We build the one specific thing that would actually save you time — a chatbot, an automation, a small tool — and ship it in 2–4 weeks. That's the whole pitch.
You probably have an AI-shaped problem.
Most small businesses don't need "AI strategy." They need one specific piece of manual work to go away. Here's what that usually looks like.
Your inbox is running your business.
You're answering the same 15 questions from customers every week. Hours a day you can't get back. A chatbot trained on your business handles most of it automatically — and escalates the rest to you when it matters.
You copy-paste between apps all day.
Every Monday, you pull data from three tools, format it into a spreadsheet, and email it around. That's 40 minutes of manual work that could be a scheduled automation running while you sleep.
Leads come in at 9pm on Sunday.
By the time you respond Monday morning, they've called two competitors. An AI intake agent qualifies them, collects the details you need, and books them into your calendar before you're even awake.
Your quote process eats your Fridays.
You're on the phone with the customer, opening a calculator, checking your pricing sheet, writing an email. A small custom quoting tool does the math and sends the branded PDF in under a minute — from your phone, on-site.
Four AI products you can try right now.
We didn't just read the AI docs — we shipped and operate four live products of our own. Click any of them.
Three steps. No pitch decks.
Discovery call
A free 30-minute conversation. You tell us what manual work is eating your week. We tell you honestly whether an AI tool would actually help — and roughly what it would cost. If it wouldn't help, we say that.
System design
We map the workflow, pick the tools, and send you a fixed quote with a delivery date. You approve. We build. No open-ended hours, no scope-creep games — you know the total cost before we start.
Deployment
We ship it, hand off the login, and train you on it in a short call. If it doesn't work the way we promised, we fix it — that's what the 30-day guarantee covers. You own everything.
Two ways to work together.
Both are honest, fixed prices. No hourly billing games, no surprise invoices.
- Fixed quote and delivery date up front

Quick answers.
Everything else, we cover in the discovery call.

AI Services at RomanThings
RomanThings provides AI consulting and custom AI development for small businesses, focused on building specific, useful AI tools rather than broad enterprise platforms. Common project types include: custom chatbots for customer support and after-hours question answering, AI-powered lead intake and qualification agents, workflow automation between existing business tools like CRMs and spreadsheets, and small custom internal tools like calculators, dashboards, and quoting apps.
Who are RomanThings' AI services for?
RomanThings' AI services are designed for small businesses — including local service businesses (dental offices, salons, gyms, restaurants), trade contractors (roofing, HVAC, floor coatings, general contractors), retail shops, coaches and consultants, and small operators. RomanThings does not sell enterprise AI platforms or pursue enterprise clients.
How much do AI projects cost at RomanThings?
Project builds typically range from $2,000 to $8,000, scoped per engagement with a fixed quote up front and a fixed delivery date. Ongoing partnerships are $500 per month or $5,000 per year (saves $1,000), and include monthly strategy calls, ongoing support, quick-win builds, priority scheduling, and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Every project includes 30 days of bug fixes at no charge and full client ownership of code, data, and accounts.
What tools does RomanThings build with?
RomanThings is platform-agnostic. Common stack: OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google AI for language models; Zapier, Make, and n8n for automation glue; Google Sheets, Airtable, and Postgres for data storage; Netlify and Vercel for deployment. Tool selection is based on what the client's team can maintain long-term.
How does RomanThings' AI project process work?
Every AI project follows a three-step process: (1) Discovery Call — a free 30-minute conversation to identify whether AI would genuinely help and roughly what it would cost; (2) System Design — approximately one week of workflow mapping, tool selection, and fixed-quote generation with a delivery date; (3) Deployment — 1 to 3 weeks of building, testing, deploying, and training, backed by a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Most projects ship in 2 to 4 weeks total.
