For business owners who don't have time to dabble

AI-curious, but no time to figure it out?

We help business owners and executives like you harness the power of AI without burning midnight oil or side-tracking your team. Simply describe a manual process you hate, we'll build a working proof of concept within a week that proves we can make that painful process go away.

No paid commitment until you've seen firsthand what we can do for your business.

Case studies

Things we build.

Every business has wasteful processes that are 'digital' yet extremely manual. We don't discriminate on vertical. If your people spend time on a process you think is dumb, we can help.

Packed grocery shelves
National retail-merchandising team

The pain: Their crew photographs shelves in-store, then spends 5+ hours per project hand-transcribing every price tag and planogram code into Excel. Errors still ship.

What we built: A pipeline that pulls and processes their photos directly, extracting all key data points automatically instead of manually.

5-hour audits collapse to a 5 to 10 minute verification, and accuracy goes up.

Tile installation with adhesive
$20M commercial flooring contractor

The pain: Every bid means an estimator hand-reading 25 to 200 page architectural PDFs and clicking out each room, one at a time, just to get to pricing.

What we built: A custom takeoff agent that reads the plans + spec book, maps each room to its finish, traces the geometry, attaches the standard labor and material add-ons, and writes the finished takeoff back into the estimating software they already use.

Their lead estimator stops clicking and starts winning bids. Most of the takeoff hours just disappear.

Reviewing an insurance policy form
Commercial insurance broker

The pain: Quotes were sitting 3 weeks to 2 months waiting on his wholesaler, and 65 loss-run requests were quietly falling through the cracks.

What we built: A workflow brain wired into his Gmail + CRM + Drive that surfaces every stale wholesaler thread, tracks every open loss-run, models each underwriter as a first-class entity, and drafts the nudge replies for him to send.

Stale quotes stopped going invisible. The wholesaler is finally on the clock.

Accountant working at desk with calculator
Accounting service-provider with 200+ clients

The pain: Their team pulls each client's P&L and balance sheet out of QuickBooks every month and rebuilds an executive review by hand, 200+ times.

What we built: A pipeline where their team drops a client's P&L + balance sheet into a folder; out comes a branded executive dashboard with AI-drafted commentary their CPA reviews before send.

The firm scales from "more clients = more hours" to "more clients = more files in the folder."

Garden waterfall water feature
Custom water-feature builder

The pain: Phones full of incredible job-site footage, but every video took 4 separate apps and ~40 minutes, 50+ Facebook groups got posted into one at a time, and the books got whatever attention was left.

What we built: A pipeline that ingests raw job-site photos and video, produces branded videos with music, drafts community-specific posts, auto-publishes SEO blog content to their site, and quietly handles receipt-and-expense capture in the background.

70 to 85% less time on content, and the marketing (and the books) keep running through the winter, not just the install season.

Imagine what we can do for your business.

What if that report that takes you 3 hours a week took 4 minutes?

AI can tackle almost anything these days. The harder question is where it actually pays off in YOUR business. We start with four questions to find the highest-leverage win first.

  1. What's the most manual, technical thing your team does every week?
  2. What's the process you hate the most?
  3. Where do you find yourself copying and pasting and thinking "why am I doing this"?
  4. What's the report or document everyone dreads producing?

From your answers, we pick one thing we can build for you for free as a working proof of concept. If you like what you see, we move into a paid pilot. If you don't, we shake hands and you keep the prototype.

How we engage

Your own AI tooling. Built to spec.

Most engagements look similar in shape. We meet, we scope tight, we build against your real data, you review, you decide if you want more. No long sales process. No proposal theater.

One builder, one call

You meet the person who'll build it. No sales handoff. No account manager in the middle.

Your tools, not ours

We build inside what your team already uses. QuickBooks, Drive, Slack, your CRM. No platform to migrate to.

Honest pricing, posted

Free POC. Fixed-fee pilot, posted up front. No hourly billing. No surprise invoices.

Hand-off built in

Every build ships with written instructions so your team can run it without us.

About us

Work directly with the people who actually build.

No middle-man, no account managers. The people who write the code and ship the build are the same folks you'll meet on the first call.

Zach Gunderson

Zach Gunderson, founder of Xylo AI and the builder behind Xylo AI Studios. Xylo AI is our flagship product, serving financial advisors today on a scalable multi-tenant platform.

Xylo AI Studios was born out of three intensive years building at the forefront of AI, learning every wrinkle the hard way. As we developed our capabilities, we also noticed too many shops quoting six-figure price tags and six-month projects for work that should take a few weeks and cost a fraction of that. Business owners deserve better.

Every engagement is hands-on. No subcontractors, no offshore handoffs, no enterprise sales process. You meet the builder, you work with the builder, period.

Not sure how AI fits in your business yet? That's what the call is for.

Discovery is 45 minutes. We ask what your team hates doing. From your answers, we pick one thing to build for you for free as a working proof of concept. You don't decide whether to engage Xylo AI Studios until you've seen what we can do.
