A working agent, not a strategy deck
A live agent on one real workflow: connected tools, approval rules, a simple console to run it, and handover notes your team can actually use.
AI agent setup for small & medium business
Your first AI agent, working in weeks.
We deploy a secure AI agent into one real workflow, lead follow-up, reporting, invoicing prep, or inbox triage, connected to the tools you already use, with least-privilege access and human approval on anything sensitive.
One workflow first, then expand
Connects to any tool with an API
You approve sensitive actions
Every setup is scoped around value, access, security, and an operating rhythm your team can run.
Zero trust from day one
Each agent runs with its own identity, least-privilege access, and network isolation. Nothing touches your systems beyond what the workflow needs, and every action is logged.
The agent gets a cockpit
A simple console where you assign work, review drafts, approve sensitive actions, see exceptions, and track exactly what the agent has done.
Enterprise discipline, SME scale
30 years of enterprise delivery behind every setup, identity, permissions, auditability, applied to businesses that need results, not a transformation program.
Engagement paths
Pick the path that matches where you are
Three ways to start, depending on how clear your first workflow is. Typical timing: discovery in 1–2 weeks, Starter in 2–4 weeks, Professional staged across 4–8+ weeks. Budget signals usually map to under-$5k discovery, $5k–$15k Starter, and $15k+ Professional, final scope is confirmed after a short intake, not guessed from a form.
One secure workflow
Best when you can already name the repetitive workflow and want a contained, approval-gated agent before expanding.
- First-workflow mapping and success criteria
- One agent for lead triage, handoff checks, reporting, inbox digest, or admin prep
- Least-privilege access setup, approval rules, and handover
- You provide tool access, a workflow owner, sample inputs, and a success measure
Typically 2–4 weeks once inputs, access, and approval owner are clear
Ask about Starter →Agent + tool ecosystem
Best for teams connecting multiple tools and recurring workflows where approvals, reporting, and escalation matter.
- Full operating model adapted to your environment
- Any API-accessible tool as scoped, plus established Jira, Confluence, Microsoft 365, CRM, accounting, GitHub, Slack/Teams, and internal-system patterns
- Reporting loop, escalation rules, monitoring cadence, and an optimisation backlog
- You provide system owners, a credentials path, representative workflow data, and a named operating owner
Typically 4–8+ weeks for multi-tool workflows with governance and reporting
Scope Professional →Discovery before build
Best when the pain is real but the workflow, data, approvals, or tools are not clear enough to build safely yet.
- Workflow selection and readiness check
- Integration, access, risk, and security map
- A recommended Starter/Professional path, or honest advice to wait
- You provide process walkthroughs, a tool list, pain ranking, and data/access constraints
Typically 1–2 weeks to select the workflow, risks, and path
Clarify the first workflow →First workflow examples
Start where the hours are leaking
Good first agents sit beside your existing tools and prepare work for you to approve.
Lead triage
Score new enquiries, suggest a reply, update Zoho or HubSpot, and alert the owner.
Client handoffs
Detect overdue tasks or missing updates and draft the next client note for review.
Weekly reporting
Pull Jira, Teams, docs, or dashboard context into a delivery pack with risks and decisions.
Invoice/admin prep
Prepare billing detail from resolved work and wait for human approval before sending.
Owner inbox digest
Highlight urgent email/calendar items, overdue replies, and next actions each day.
Good fit
This is worth a call if…
- Your team repeats the same triage, reporting, drafting, follow-up, or admin work every week.
- The work touches real systems, any tool with a usable API, webhook, export, database, or approved integration path.
- You want an agent that works under approval rules and scoped access, not an unsupervised chatbot.
- Someone in your business can own the workflow and judge whether the agent is useful.
Not yet
It is probably too early if…
- There is no repeatable workflow or clear business outcome yet.
- You need a fully autonomous agent making external commitments without human review.
- Your tools and data are locked away and nobody can approve access.
- You are after general AI training rather than a working system.
Buyer questions
AI Agent Setup FAQ
Straight answers to what most owners ask first.
What tools can an AI agent connect to?
Any business tool that exposes a usable API, webhook, export, database, inbox, or approved integration path. Jira, Confluence, Microsoft 365, Teams, Slack, Zoho CRM, HubSpot, Xero, QuickBooks, GitHub, and Google Workspace are established patterns, not the limit of what can be scoped.
How is the agent kept secure?
Security is built into the architecture, not added afterwards. Every agent has its own identity, least-privilege access scoped to its workflow, network isolation from the rest of your systems, and a full audit log. Sensitive actions, external sends, record changes, anything touching money, wait for your approval.
How long does setup take?
A contained first workflow usually goes live in 2–4 weeks once the process owner, tools, approval rules, and success measure are clear. Integration-heavy setups become a staged Professional path over 4–8+ weeks.
How does pricing work?
Three package paths, Starter, Professional, and Clarify scope, with effort confirmed after a short intake. Tool access, workflow complexity, and security requirements change the real scope, so we confirm rather than guess.
Will the agent act without my approval?
Only where you have explicitly allowed it. Drafting, monitoring, summarising, and preparing work run automatically; external sends, CRM updates, spend, and sensitive commitments wait in a visible approval queue until you say go.
What are OpenClaw and Hermes?
OpenClaw is the agent platform Nebulas builds on; Hermes is the orchestration layer that routes work between agents and your tools. Together they give every agent its own identity, scoped permissions, and a complete audit trail, you do not need to learn either to benefit from them.
