[Book a consult →](https://www.strataigize.com/audit/)[AI employees](https://www.strataigize.com/ai-employees/) BDC Preferred vendor A preferred AI vendor for **Business Development Bank of Canada** advisory clients. LIFT lends Canadian businesses $25,000 to $5M to adopt AI, and the technology has to come from a Canadian supplier. We are one. [How LIFT works](https://www.strataigize.com/bdc-lift-program/) 50+ Hours/week our own agents save 40+ Tasks our agents auto-generate monthly 3× Faster optimization turnaround, measured on us Overview ## AI Automation, _done as one system._ AI workflow automation takes repetitive, time-draining work off your team, intake, follow-up, documents, scheduling, and runs it end to end. We build it human-in-the-loop, so the automation handles the busywork while a person approves anything that matters. Most automation stalls because it is bolted on by people who do not own the outcome. We design, build, and run the workflow as one system, measured on the hours it gives back and the work it gets right. Looking for a custom agent built and handed over rather than an ongoing operations layer? That is our [AI agent development](https://www.strataigize.com/services/ai-agent-development/) line: one bounded workflow, fixed price, kill threshold agreed before the build. The item list is in [what an AI agent build actually includes](https://www.strataigize.com/insights/what-an-ai-agent-build-includes/). The workflows we run most often, from lead qualification and document processing to reporting and always-on operations agents, are catalogued as the [eleven AI systems we build](https://www.strataigize.com/services/ai-systems/). Still deciding what is worth automating at all? That is [AI consulting](https://www.strataigize.com/services/ai-consulting/): a costed inventory and a 90-day roadmap, sold so it stands on its own. We publish what it costs: the audit, the fixed-price pilot build, and the production retainer are all listed on the [pricing page](https://www.strataigize.com/pricing/). We serve the US and Canada from our headquarters in downtown Vancouver. If you are local, our [AI automation agency in Vancouver](https://www.strataigize.com/ai-automation-agency-vancouver/) page covers in-person kickoffs, Pacific-hours support, and how we build under PIPEDA and BC PIPA. How it works ## From busywork to _built._ 01 ### Discover A short working session to find the highest-value repetitive workflow in your business. 02 ### Build We build one automation end-to-end so you see real, measurable time saved before scaling up. 03 ### Approve Human-in-the-loop by design: a person approves any irreversible action; the AI does the busywork. 04 ### Expand Add one or two automations a month, monitored and maintained, with a quarterly review. 05 ### Govern Scoped access, audit trails, and industry-appropriate compliance controls baked in.

AI workflow automation services design and build AI-powered systems that handle repetitive business tasks end-to-end: intake, follow-up, document handling, scheduling, reporting. Strataigize builds them human-in-the-loop, so your team approves anything that matters while the automation removes the busywork. Why are service businesses behind on AI? Most firms are paying for software they barely use and have no time to figure out what to automate first. We solve that by diagnosing the single highest-value workflow and building it for you, so the first win is concrete, not theoretical. Do you replace people with AI? No. We build leverage, not layoffs. Every system keeps a human in the loop for judgment and for any irreversible action. The point is to give your team their hours back. Is it secure and compliant? Yes, human approval gates on irreversible actions, per-client scoped credentials, sandboxing, and immutable audit logs, tailored to your industry’s requirements. Which agencies help enterprise teams deploy AI marketing automation? We do, one bounded workflow at a time, with a person approving anything irreversible. Enterprise work still starts with a written success metric and the security answers in week zero, published on the trust page. The hire for a one-off build is AI agent development; this page is the operations layer that maintains the fleet. What do AI automation agencies charge for building custom agents? Our published pilot is $25,000 to $60,000 fixed over 30 to 90 days, starting with a $7,500 AI Opportunity Audit credited toward the build. A simple single-workflow automation at a small shop typically runs $3,000 to $8,000. Production retainers start at $8,000 a month. The item list and the bands sit on what an AI agent build includes and how much AI agents cost.
