Follow one real-world workflow

See how the work changes.

A proposed example, not a live product demo. Select each step to see what the agent prepares and what stays with your team.

01

A prospect asks about a trial

A prospective member wants to understand the offer and visit the gym. Consent and current availability need checking.

A day in your business

Less assembling.
More deciding.

A prospect asks about a trial while members ask about classes and billing. Agents handle approved information and organize next steps; staff handle exceptions and commitments.

The owner outcome: Give staff more time for members by reducing repeated questions and tour coordination, without turning sensitive membership decisions into unattended automation.

Your business. Your AI team.

Solution options are scoped and configured for your business, not a claim of ready-made integrations. Existing software comes first. The implementation packages below include only the workflows listed in each package.

Connected to your existing work

Membership CRM, class/tour booking software, approved membership information and consented messaging channels. Class availability and member permissions must be checked live when supported.

Use native automation where it already meets the need. These are design options, not promises of working integrations.

A focused first implementation

Begin with public membership FAQs and tour handoffs. Keep billing, health and cancellation decisions outside the agent’s authority.

Agree the baseline, access boundaries, review owner, acceptance tests and stop conditions before activation. Measure net staff time after review and correction, not just machine output.

Three starting points, with clear deliverables.

Your AI. Your setup.

In the cloud or in your office.

You own the accounts and equipment. We help choose the practical setup for your work.

Cloud

No new computer needed

Easiest to get started and access from anywhere. Your workflows use your own cloud accounts. Needs reliable internet and provider services.

$0 equipment allowance

Office computer

A dedicated Mac mini or Dell PC

Useful when the workflow needs files or tools on your premises. You are responsible for power, internet and physical security. Cloud AI and phone services may still be needed.

+$1,500–$3,000 equipment allowance

Advanced local AI

A specialist AI computer

For a tested need to run selected AI models locally. Higher cost and more maintenance. A separately designed stack, not a local installation of Grok Bot.

+$8,000–$12,000 equipment allowance

Grok Bot is cloud-hosted. Connecting an office computer does not move Grok Bot onto that computer or make all data local. Any local-model workflow must be tested separately; phone services, integrations and some AI features may still require internet access. Equipment allowances are planning budgets, not hardware quotes. The final proposal confirms the machine, backup power, configuration, data flow and any additional installation work. Taxes, electricity and replacement equipment are extra.

Adjust the estimate

Examples, not guaranteed savings. Payback assumes you can put the returned time to useful work at the stated hourly value. Payroll may stay the same. Each package explains the assumptions below.

Low / Focused

A focused start

$4,000–$6,000
Estimated one-time implementation

1 defined workflow. One location or team; 1–2 supported integrations.

  • Trial inquiry and booking handoff

Includes testing, team training, runbook, customer-owned deployment and 30-day defect correction. Vendor costs and ongoing support are separate.

Medium / Connected

A coordinated team

$8,000–$12,000
Estimated one-time implementation

3 defined workflows. One location or team; up to 3 supported integrations.

  • Trial inquiry and booking handoff
  • Opt-in trial follow-up
  • Member FAQs and staff routing

Includes testing, team training, runbook, customer-owned deployment and 30-day defect correction. Vendor costs and ongoing support are separate.

High / Advanced

A broader operation

$15,000–$22,000
Estimated one-time implementation

5 defined workflows for one agreed team or location. Up to 4 supported integrations, with richer exception handling and reporting.

  • Trial inquiry and booking handoff
  • Opt-in trial follow-up
  • Member FAQs and staff routing
  • Permitted attendance-based staff review queue
  • Owner service reporting

Includes testing, team training, runbook, customer-owned deployment and 30-day defect correction. Vendor costs and ongoing support are separate.

Sector-specific scope: One supported membership/booking platform. Actual capacity data; attendance flags prompt staff review, not health or cancellation-risk conclusions. No charge or cancel authority.

Planning estimates, not binding quotes. Ranges assume permitted access, usable data, supported integrations and a named reviewer. The final proposal confirms deliverables, acceptance tests, handover and responsibilities.

Vendor licenses, model/voice usage, taxes and ongoing care are additional. Custom APIs, major data cleanup, regulated advice, autonomous financial actions and 24/7 response are not included unless expressly scoped. Lower software subscription prices are not equivalent to implementation services.

Your team runs it.
Or we help.

Managed care is optional. Choose who owns monitoring, updates and support after handover.

No managed care

$0 / month to us

Your team operates the delivered workflows after handover. No ongoing monitoring, maintenance or support included. Vendor subscriptions and usage remain your responsibility.

Care

$499 / month

Up to 2 support hours for agreed maintenance and troubleshooting. Additional work requires approval. Vendor costs are separate.

Managed optimization

$999 / month

Up to 4 hours for agreed maintenance, monitoring review and improvements. No unlimited changes or 24/7 service. Vendor costs are separate.
