Working builds, real numbers
More leverage for employees and employers.
Less manual work · More customers · Faster hiring
Solutions that give employees and employers more leverage in their business. I tie together the software you already use and put AI in the middle, so the busywork takes minutes and your people get on with the work that needs a person.
The three problems
Which three problems do businesses actually pay to solve?
Nobody wakes up wanting AI. They wake up with one of three expensive problems. Each one is also one of the three ways AI puts money back in a business: winning revenue, unblocking growth, or cutting the cost of manual work.
Not enough leads
“The phone isn’t ringing enough, and every quiet week shows up in next month’s revenue.”
New customers are new revenue. Every visitor who leaves without answering, and every prospect nobody found, is dollars walking out quietly.

Hiring too slow
“One job posting, 150 resumes, and no free weekend to read them. It’s a full-time job on top of mine.”
An open seat costs output and overtime every week it stays empty. Hiring faster is a revenue play, not admin: the seat filled three weeks sooner is worth far more than the screening hours.
- Shortlist · resume screening & ranking
Payroll too high
“Good people spend paid hours retyping, rescheduling, and answering the same ten questions.”
Payroll is your biggest expense, and part of it goes to typing, sorting and retyping that a machine can do. Give those hours back to the people you already have and they get more done, which is why these builds pay back fastest.

Why not just buy software?
No one knows your business better than you.
Off-the-shelf software asks your business to change so the software can stay the same. A custom AI workflow does the opposite: it is built around the process you already developed and trust.
You adapt to it.
- New apps and screens for your team to learn
- Retraining every time you hire or the software updates
- Your process bent to fit someone else’s product
- Paying monthly for features you never touch
It adapts to you.
- Built around the way you already work, in the tools you already use
- Nothing new for the team to learn, so nothing to retrain
- Your process stays yours; the repetitive part just gets handled
- We streamline your business instead of interrupting it
No one knows your market better than you do. The process stays yours. We just take the repetitive part of it off your team’s plate.
How working with me goes
How does working with me go?
You show me the problem
Fifteen minutes. You describe the thing that eats your week, in your words, not tech words.
I show you a working build like it
Not a slideshow: the actual tool, running live on realistic data, solving a problem shaped like yours.
I adapt it for your business
Your data, your rules, your tone, with a human in the loop wherever judgment matters.
We keep going
The first build is small on purpose. While I’m inside your business I map where else time and money are leaking. Most clients keep me on monthly to work down that list, priced against the value created, not the hours.
Questions
Questions people ask before they call
Where should a small business start with AI?
Start where the same information gets typed twice. Write it down for a week: bids into a cost sheet, invoices into Excel, the same product question answered by email, resumes read one by one. The first build removes that retyping. Working out which one is what the fifteen minute call is for.
Is there a free version?
The six demos on the portfolio page are free to run in your browser, and the first call costs nothing. A build adapted to your business, on your data, is paid work. It is priced against the hours it gives back, so you know what you are buying before you buy it.
How much does automation cost for a small business?
It depends on the hours it replaces, which is why there is no price list. On the first call the process gets measured: how often it happens, how long it takes, who does it. The number comes from that, so it is never a bare quote for a tool.
Will AI take my employees’ jobs?
Not here. The builds take the reading, sorting and retyping; your people keep the judgment calls and get their hours back for customers and the next job. Businesses that get more done tend to add people, not cut them. AI is leverage for the team you already trust.
What does Lyonsmith Technology do?
Lyonsmith Technology ties together the software a small or medium-sized business already uses and puts AI in the middle, so repetitive office work runs in minutes instead of hours. Bids get read and compared, documents get sorted, leads get answered, resumes get ranked.
Do I have to replace the software I already use?
No. Builds bolt onto what you have: Excel and Google Sheets, Gmail and Outlook, QuickBooks, your existing website and calendar. The Bid Tool fills the builder’s own cost sheet, and the fitment finder sits in the header of a store that did not change.
