Use cases

What we automate
for real businesses.

The boring parts that eat your day. Email, leads, paperwork, financial reporting. Each card is a representative project; happy to walk through any of them on the call.
Guest msg Agent your voice Reply Calendar Alert me
Hospitality & service 2-week build

Conversational inbox for an Airbnb host

Inbound guest messages answered 24/7 in your voice. Check-in details, restaurant recs, troubleshooting, special requests. The agent escalates only when it should and sends you a morning summary.

Typical outcome Reply time: 4 hours to under 2 minutes
Inbox Classify + draft Auto-reply Drafted Needs you
Inbox 1 to 2 week build

Email triage for a busy operator

Reads every inbound email, categorizes it (lead, customer, routine, junk), drafts replies to the routine ones, and surfaces only what actually needs you. Works inside Gmail or Outlook, no switching.

Typical outcome ~2 hrs/day reclaimed. About half of email handled hands-free.
Web form Qualify + first reply CRM Nurture
Sales ~10-day build

Lead response and qualification agent

Inbound form leads are qualified, de-duped against your CRM, sent a personalized first reply within seconds, and routed to the right person. Cold leads still get a warm, branded response so nothing falls through.

Typical outcome Reply time: 22 hrs to under 90 seconds. 15 to 30% lift on conversion.
ICP list News feeds Researcher Outreach You approve
Growth 2-week build

Lead-generation engine

Pulls a daily list of prospects who match your ideal customer, researches each one, and drafts personalized outreach in your voice. You approve in two clicks each morning instead of doing prospecting from scratch.

Typical outcome 5 to 10 personalized messages drafted daily. 8 to 15% reply rates typical.
Receipt Bank feed Categorize QuickBooks Flagged
Finance ~10-day build

Receipts and transactions to bookkeeping

Snap a receipt or forward it from email. The agent categorizes the expense, matches it against your bank feed, and pushes it into QuickBooks or Xero. Anomalies and duplicates get flagged for review.

Typical outcome Monthly close starts already done. Bookkeeper hours cut in half.
Bank QuickBooks Forecaster P&L + cash Weekly 90-day Anomalies
Finance 2-week build

Budget, P&L, and cash-flow forecaster

Pulls transactions from your bank and accounting software, drafts the monthly P&L, builds a rolling 90-day cash-flow forecast, and flags anomalies. You get a single Sunday digest instead of wrestling with QuickBooks every month.

Typical outcome One weekly digest replaces hours of manual reporting.

How it works

What two weeks
actually looks like.

A fixed cadence with weekly written check-ins. You always know where we are. No surprises, no scope creep, no "phase 2."
Day 1
Discovery call
A friendly 20 minutes. You walk us through one workflow. By the end we can tell you whether AI is the right answer, and sometimes it isn't. We'll say so.
20 min
Days 2 to 4
Written plan
One page. What the agent does, what it touches, what the edge cases look like. You sign off in writing before any code is written.
~3 days
Days 5 to 12
Build & weekly check-ins
We build and test against your real data. Every two or three days you get a short video walkthrough. Nothing surprises you on day fourteen.
~8 days
Day 14
Launch & training
Live on your tools. A training video for your team. The 30-day support window starts the moment it's in production.

Common questions

Honest answers
to the usual questions.

What if I don't know what to automate?
Most owners don't on the first call, and that's fine. Seven years in small-business operations is usually enough to spot the bottleneck in 20 minutes. If nothing looks worth building, we'll tell you and we shake hands. No pressure.
What if it breaks after launch?
The first thirty days are on us, we fix it at no charge. After that, you can either keep us on a $400/month maintenance plan or hand it off. Everything is documented well enough that an in-house person can take it from there.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Costaria signs a confidentiality agreement before any project starts. Customer data stays inside your existing systems. The AI models we use process data and do not retain it for training. Happy to walk through this on a call.

Still have questions? Best place to get them answered is the call.
