How AI works at AOtech, in four panels.

AI & Automation · The AOtech Standard

Custom AI for everything your business actually runs on.

AI & Automation Services  ·  Lincoln, Nebraska

AR statements, weekly reports, ticket triage, lead follow-ups — whatever's eating your week, we can build AI to handle it. Production AI, not demos.

Panel 1 — Monday: an overwhelmed SMB owner at a desk piled with invoices, past-due notices, payroll, three coffee mugs, a ringing phone, and a to-do list of client calls, follow-ups, reports, and bill pay.
Panel 2 — Meet your new coworker: an AI character with the AOtech compass-and-triangle mark on its chest stands beside the owner saying 'You handle the customers. I'll handle the rest.'
Panel 3 — Train it once: the owner walks the AI through a four-step process for sending an AR statement; a flipchart shows the recurring tasks list — AR statements, weekly reports, ticket triage, lead follow-ups, and more.
Panel 4 — Take Friday off: the owner walks out the door (a sign reads 'BACK MONDAY'); through the window, the AI is at the desk with a checked-off task list — customers, reports, follow-ups, tickets — saying 'Got it covered.'
What we automate

If your team does it twice a week, we can probably automate it.

Six places we keep finding the same wins. Each one with a real outcome from real client work — measured, not promised.

01

Custom AI bots & assistants

Engineer assistants, help-desk deflection, document Q&A, knowledge agents. Trained on your real runbooks and data — not the public internet.

Engineers 60% faster · without escalation
02

Workflow automation

Multi-step business flows — approvals, handoffs, routing — wired across the systems your team already uses, with audit trails and clear failure modes.

Steps removed: 7 of 9
03

Power Platform automation

Power Automate flows, Dataverse models, and lightweight Canvas apps for the workflows that don't justify a custom build but need more than a spreadsheet.

Same governance · faster delivery
04

SharePoint solutions

Document automation, governed site templates, search that actually finds things, retention done right. The SharePoint people quietly hope they'd get.

Cleanup days, not months
05

Business process audits

We map what your team does every week, find the repeatable work, and rank the automations by cost-to-build vs hours-back. A real decision-grade analysis.

Audit → roadmap · 2 weeks
06

Onboarding / offboarding automation

New-hire provisioning, account creation, license assignment, equipment kit, training enrollment — all triggered from HR. Offboarding closes the loop on the same day.

2 hours → under 10 minutes
The differentiator

Production AI. Not demos.

Most AI work in the SMB market is a demo someone built in a weekend, shown to leadership, and then quietly never deployed. We don't ship demos. We ship systems your team uses every day.

What most "AI shops" ship

A prototype that demos well in a meeting and never reaches production.

  • Built on top of someone's personal API key
  • No monitoring, no evals, no rollback plan
  • Hallucinations are a "future iteration"
  • Lives in a Google Doc, gets handed to your team to deploy
  • Quietly forgotten three months later
What we ship

A system your team uses every day, with the engineering discipline to keep it that way.

  • Deployed under your tenant, your keys, your data residency
  • Evals, regression tests, monitored output quality
  • Guardrails against hallucination + clear human-in-the-loop points
  • Audit trail of every model call, every prompt, every decision
  • We maintain it after launch — not "the AI is yours now"
How we approach AI

Production AI, or we don't ship.

"Most AI projects fail in production, not in the demo. We design for the day after launch — the monitoring, the evals, the human-in-the-loop — before we write a prompt."

— AOtech AI principle

AOtech's AI work is led by a senior AI engineer who serves as the lead AI practitioner at a multi-billion-dollar enterprise — designing and deploying deep-learning systems and production AI across finance, operations, HR, support, sales, and security teams. The same person scopes your engagement personally, designs the custom AI infrastructure (RAG pipelines, vector stores, training and chunking strategies, evaluation harnesses, the whole stack), and stays on as the engineer your team actually talks to. Enterprise discipline, brought to SMB engagements without the enterprise consulting price tag.

How we work

Audit first. Always.

We never start with "here's an AI bot." We start with "what does your team actually do every week?" — and then we rank the automations by hours-back-per-dollar.

Step 01

Audit

Two-week paid audit. We watch how the work actually happens, list every repeatable task, and rank by cost-to-build vs hours saved.

Step 02

Design

For the top candidates: a fixed scope, success metrics, eval plan, and the model + tooling choices documented before any prompt is written.

Step 03

Build & eval

Deployed under your tenant, your keys. Eval suite runs on every change. Human-in-the-loop checkpoints where the cost of being wrong matters.

Step 04

Operate

Quality monitoring, drift detection, model upgrades when they're safe. We don't hand the AI back — we run it with you.
