AI AGENTS FOR BUSINESS

Machine-like is the Managed Agent Operations company. We design, deploy, and run custom AI agents for small businesses, as a service. Machine-like agents work inside the software you already use and hand back finished work: sales follow-up, support triage, reporting, reconciliation, and more. You tell us the job. We build the agent, run it in production, and stay accountable for the results.

Managed Agent Operations is a service model where AI agents are designed, deployed, and run for you. Today most agents come one of two ways: you build them yourself, or you buy them and babysit them. Both leave your team operating software. Managed Agent Operations is the third option. We build the agent around your process, connect it to your tools, monitor it, fix it, and upgrade it. You keep the approvals and the judgment calls.

Machine-like agents handle defined, repeatable work across sales, support, operations, marketing, and finance. Common jobs include answering and qualifying new leads in minutes, booking and follow-up, prospect research, support ticket triage, customer intake and onboarding, CRM hygiene, recurring reporting, and deposit reconciliation. Each agent owns a specific job with a clear trigger and a finished output, which is what keeps it reliable. If a task repeats every week and runs through software, it is a strong candidate. Open-ended chat assistance is not what we build.

Machine-like agents are built for owners, operators, and senior leaders at companies with roughly 1 to 100 employees. The best fit is a business with real, recurring workflows (customers, vendors, pipelines, reports) and a small team carrying too much of it by hand. You do not need an AI strategy first. Whether you are curious about AI and unsure where to start, or already experimenting and ready to go further, we help you pick the right first job.

Most AI agents arrive as software you have to operate. Build one on a platform and your team designs, tests, and maintains it. Buy one off the shelf and your team monitors and babysits it. Tools that generate agents for you still leave you running them: self-creating is not self-managing. Machine-like agents are built, run, and maintained by us, customized around your process and governed by your rules. You get completed work, not a second job.

Create a free account and join a short scoping call so we learn your tools, your rules, and what done looks like. Your 14-day free trial starts when the agent goes live on real work, not when you sign up. No credit card, no setup fees, no obligation. If the agent proves itself, roll into a service tier. If it doesn't, you walk away and owe nothing.

Very little, and no. We do the heavy lifting: scoping, building, integrating, testing, and running the agent. Your part is short and front-loaded: access to the right tools, the rules your team follows, examples of work done well, and one person who can make approval decisions. After launch, you review what the agent hands back. You will not troubleshoot APIs or babysit live runs.

Only where you allow it. Every Machine-like agent starts in draft-and-approval mode, so nothing goes out without your sign-off. You set the rules: what the agent may do on its own, which actions wait for a human, and what is off-limits entirely. When a decision calls for judgment, the agent stops and waits for you. Every completed task comes with a receipt, so you verify the work instead of trusting claims.

We fix it. When an integration changes, a connection expires, or an agent drifts in month six, catching and repairing it is our job, not yours. We monitor every agent in production, keep it current as your process evolves, and handle model upgrades. That is the difference between a managed service and a tool you have to operate.

Yes. Your data stays where it lives. Nothing migrates out of your CRM, inbox, or other tools. Agents reach only the systems you authorize, through connections you control and can revoke at any time, and they take only the actions their workflow calls for. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, every run is logged, and your data is never used to train AI models, ours or anyone else's. You own your data.

Pricing is per workload, billed monthly. A workload is the complete job an agent owns, sized to replace roughly 5 to 10 hours of manual work each week. Operator covers 1 to 2 workloads at $249 per workload per month. Growth covers 3 to 5 workloads at $199 per workload per month. Command covers 6 or more workloads with a custom quote. Every tier includes unlimited seats and connectors, with no setup, integration, or platform fees. Cancel anytime.
