For small business owners

Tried AI and it hasn't stuck? We turn scattered tools into work that gets done.

Most businesses have a few AI tools half set up — an inbox helper here, a chatbot there — that don't talk to each other and don't run on their own. Bearagon sorts out what's worth keeping, wires it into how you run, and hands you one simple place to check the work. No prompts to learn. No code. No complicated installs. We create and deliver the automations; you review the results. And if you've never touched AI at all? Even simpler — we start clean.

Example morning brief: overnight calls answered and appointments booked, routine emails replied to, overdue invoices chased, yesterday's sales summarized, today's calendar confirmed, and one item escalated for review.

The mess is normal

A junk drawer full of AI tools, and the work still lands on you.

More than half of small businesses have tried AI by now. Most ended up in the same place: a handful of tools that each do a little, don't talk to each other, and still need someone in the middle.

The subscription

Paying for shelf-ware

A tool that made sense in the demo, got used twice, and still bills you every month. Canceling means deciding; deciding takes time you don't have.

The gaps

Tools that don't talk

The chatbot books an appointment your calendar never sees. The inbox helper drafts a reply your invoice says is wrong. Every gap between tools becomes your job.

The glue

You're still in the middle

Copying from one app into another, checking three dashboards, chasing what fell through. AI was supposed to remove work. Set up halfway, it adds supervision.

This is exactly what the free assessment untangles: what to keep, what to fix, what to cancel — in a one-page plan that's yours either way. Want the longer version first? Read our plain-English guide to AI sprawl cleanup.

What you get

AI does the work. You review it all at once, on your schedule.

We build automation routines on the tools your business already uses by hand every day — the inbox you answer, the invoices you chase, the calls you return, the books you reconcile. The routine work runs itself, and everything the AI handled lands in one place for you to review in bulk. Fewer hurdles in your day, more hours back in your week.

Every morning, 6am

How you get it

White glove, start to finish.

You don't install, configure, or maintain anything. We build the automations, connect them to your business, and hand you the results.

The first call

Tell us how you run

A 30-minute conversation in plain English: which tools you touch every day, what eats your week, and what "working" would look like. You leave with a one-page plan — free, whether or not you continue.

Week one

We build your setup

We connect the AI to the email, calendar, books, and payments you already use, and set the guardrails together. Sometimes that means one new thing to look at — the simple page where you review the work. We build it; you approve every connection.

Weeks two & three

Real work, on your real business

The automations run live. What proves useful stays; what gets ignored gets cut.

Ongoing

We stay accountable

Setup starts at $2,000. From there, a flat monthly plan — starting at $400 a month — keeps everything maintained and tuned. Bigger asks are scoped, quoted, and billed transparently. See how that compares to the market.

The Bearagon standard

Automated where it's routine. You, where it matters.

Every workflow runs inside guardrails we set up together. The routine work runs itself; the exceptions arrive with context and a recommendation. How we handle security →

Security woven into setup

Every connection is scoped to the minimum access the workflow needs — reviewed from day one, not bolted on after.

Guardrails you set

Reply scope, spending caps, escalation rules — you set the limits once, and the automation stays inside them.

Zero learning curve

If you have to remember how to use it, we consider it failed. Everything arrives on schedule or answers in plain English.

Who's behind Bearagon

A small team, on purpose.

You'll work directly with the people doing the implementation — no account managers relaying messages.
