Free working prototype
AI coding tools now do the build work about 5x faster. Are those savings being passed on to you?
I'll build you a working prototype in 5 business days, free, no obligation. (Scott Holmes, founder)
The offer in one paragraph
AI Automation Near Me builds a free working prototype of one automation or AI agent for local businesses in the GTA and Simcoe County. After a free 30-minute audit call, we agree on one job. I build it against your real tools in a test setup, or on sample data you send, and it's working within 5 business days of having that access. You watch it run on a video call, or I come to you and show it in person, free anywhere in the GTA and Simcoe County. There's no obligation. If you go ahead, the production build is a fixed price (from $499 for a single automation, from $995 for an AI agent), and the prototype isn't charged on top.
What actually got 5x faster?
The mechanical part of a build: scaffolding, connecting the apps, wiring the steps together and testing them. AI coding tools now do that work about 5x faster.
Other parts didn't speed up at all: learning how your business runs, deciding what the automation should and shouldn't do, and the judgement calls along the way. That's why the audit comes first, and why I do it myself. A free prototype is the plainest way to pass the saving on: you see your own job automated before you spend anything.
What you get
- A working prototype: one workflow or one agent, doing the job you picked
- Your tools, safely: built against your real apps in a test setup, or on sample data you provide
- A live demo: on a video call, or in person at your business
- A written summary: what it does and what the full build would cost
- No risk to customers: nothing touches live customers or production data
The terms, in plain English
- It starts after the free 30-minute audit call, once we agree on the one job to prototype.
- It's one workflow or one agent, built against your real tools in a test setup or on sample data you provide. It doesn't touch live customers or production data.
- It's working within 5 business days of the day we have the sample data and test access.
- You see it running on a video call, or in person at your business. In-person demos are free anywhere in the GTA and Simcoe County.
- There's no obligation. If you don't go ahead, you owe nothing and you keep a written summary of what it does and what the full build would cost. The working prototype itself stays with us.
- If you go ahead, we build it into production at the fixed price on the pricing page. The prototype work is not charged on top.
- I take on 4 free prototypes a month (about one a week), first come, first served. If the month is full, you get the next start date.
What could a prototype look like for your business?
These are examples, not client stories. Each is one job, small enough to have working in 5 business days.
Missed-call text-back for a landscaping company
For example, an Oakville landscaping company gets a test phone number. You call it, hang up, and a text arrives asking what the job is. Your reply shows up on your phone with the caller's number attached, exactly as it would in spring.
Prototype on: Twilio test number, n8nQuote follow-up for a fence company
For example, a Brampton fence company sends a copy of ten recent quotes. The prototype schedules follow-ups for each one and sends them to your own test inbox, so you read every message a customer would get before any customer gets one.
Prototype on: sample quotes, Gmail or Outlook, n8nAn AI receptionist on a test number for a clinic
For example, a Markham clinic calls a test number. The assistant introduces itself as automated, answers questions about hours and location, and books a sample appointment into a test calendar. No real patient details are used.
Prototype on: Retell AI or Vapi, test calendarInvoice reminders for a Barrie trades business
For example, a Barrie HVAC company shares a QuickBooks test company with a few overdue invoices. The prototype sends a polite reminder, then a firmer one, and drops each invoice once it's marked paid.

Two possible outcomes, both written down before we start.
If you go ahead
- A fixed price in writing: from $499 for a single automation, or from $995 for an AI agent such as a phone receptionist
- No charge for the prototype: it isn't added to the build price
- Production build: connected to your live tools, typically live in about 2 weeks
- Go-live: documentation, a walkthrough and 2 weeks of support
- Optional support: from $99/month, month to month, cancel anytime
- Yours to keep: you own the workflows, prompts and documentation
If you don't
- You owe nothing
- You keep the written summary of what the prototype does and what the full build would cost
- The working prototype itself stays with us
- No pressure to go ahead
Free prototype questions
Is the prototype really free?
Yes. There's no charge and no obligation. If you don't go ahead, you owe nothing and keep a written summary of what the prototype does and what the full build would cost.
What's the catch?
There are limits rather than a catch. It's one workflow or one agent, it runs in a test setup, and I take on 4 free prototypes a month. If you don't go ahead, the working prototype itself stays with us.
Will the prototype touch my real customers or data?
No. It's built against your real tools in a test setup, or on sample data you provide. Nothing reaches live customers or production data unless you approve a production build.
When do the 5 business days start?
On the day we have the sample data and test access we agreed on during the audit call. If this month's 4 spots are already taken, you get the next start date.
What does it cost if I go ahead?
The production build is the fixed price on our pricing page, one price for a single automation and another for an AI agent such as a phone receptionist. The prototype work is not charged on top.
Can I see the demo in person?
Yes. You can watch it on a video call, or I'll come to your business and run it on a laptop with you. In-person demos are free anywhere in the GTA and Simcoe County.
