Sound Familiar?

Solo Founder Zero Bandwidth

You're the bottleneck. You need a personal AI department — agents that prospect, draft, schedule, summarize, and research — and someone to actually build them.

Growing Business Manual Processes

You run a 5–50 person business — agency, professional services, e-commerce, coaching. Your SOPs are solid, but they're still manual. You know AI could help. You don't have time to figure out how.

Team with Tools No Traction

Your team has ChatGPT, Copilot, maybe Claude. But nobody's shipping faster. You need someone to coach the team and wire AI into the tools you already pay for.

The Home Path to AI Success

AI Operators automating processes inside your business — 16 hours a month. Based in Hawaiʻi, serving clients everywhere with Aloha.

What You Get Every Month

Every month, you get a mix of these — calibrated to where your business needs the leverage most.

Automated SOPs

We take your manual workflows—lead qualification, weekly reporting, content repurposing, onboarding—and automate them completely. Your team stops doing repetitive work and focuses on strategy. Processes that used to take hours now run while you sleep.

AI Integrated Into Your Existing Tools

We connect AI to the tools your team already uses daily—HubSpot, Notion, Slack, Gmail, Drive, Airtable. When a new lead comes in, AI automatically researches them. When you need a summary, it's already written. No new software to learn. No new logins. Just your tools, now smarter.

AI Agents Built for Your Business

Think of them as digital team members trained on your workflows. An agent that finds and researches prospects for you. An agent that drafts your weekly status report from your calendar and emails. An agent that preps you for meetings with background research. All built to work the way YOUR business works—not some generic template.

AI Office Hours

Your team gets clear, actionable answers to their AI questions. Coaching on Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor — not vague "it depends."

Monthly AI Roadmap

A 30-minute monthly call where we tell you exactly what to prioritize next. Quarterly: a written AI roadmap document for your business.

Three Steps to an AI-Powered Operation

No strategy decks. No six-month roadmaps. We build, and the strategy emerges from the work.

How Engagements Work

Retainer, project, or just a test drive — you choose how we work together.

Retainer —
16 Hours/Month

Your 16 hours per month are for ongoing operations support: building and tuning AI automations, optimizing your existing workflows and tools, training your team, and keeping your business ahead of the curve. We also support your other software systems and can coordinate with vendors on your behalf. Think of it as having a dedicated operator who knows your whole operation and is constantly looking for ways to make it faster, leaner, and smarter.

This is not project time. Retainer hours cover strategy, systems optimization, vendor coordination, and continuous improvement.

Project Work —
Billed Separately

Need something built? We handle custom applications, website rebuilds, integrations, and complex automations. All project work is:

  • Scoped and estimated before work begins
  • Delivered with documentation and training
  • Tested in staging before deployment
  • Supported during your initial 30-day production deployment

Founding clients lock in the $125/hr project rate for 2 years alongside their retainer rate.

No Retainer? No Problem.

No retainer required. Contract us directly for any project — we'll scope it, price it, and build it. When you're ready for a retainer, just say the word.

The retainer just means we're always working on your business, not only when you call.

For AI-Powered Projects: We deliver working systems, but you are responsible for final testing and approval. We recommend treating AI-generated components with the same rigor as any third-party integration.

Common Questions

It's a relaxed 20-minute conversation. We'll learn about your business, understand the workflows eating up your time, and identify where AI can make the biggest impact. Then we'll walk you through exactly how we'd tackle it — no pitch decks, no pressure, just a straightforward conversation about what's possible.
Because with modern AI tools and our processes, we apply a true 10x leverage factor to everything we do. 16 hours × 10 = 160 hours of effective output — a full month of work. And we do it for less than the monthly cost of a minimum wage employee. The 16 hours isn't a limitation. It's the math.
Additional hours are available at $125/hr (founding clients) or $200/hr (standard rate), billed in 30-minute increments. Larger projects can be scoped separately.
We'll put every minute to work. If there's time left after your primary deliverable, we'll use it on other optimizations that move the needle for your business. If for any reason we can't find a fit, we refund in 30-minute increments — so if we complete 2.5 hours of work, you get a refund for the remaining 2.5.
We connect AI to the tools you're already using — HubSpot, Notion, Slack, Gmail, Google Drive, Airtable, and more. We also build custom agents and integrations using Claude, GPT, Microsoft Copilot, and other AI platforms. No new software to learn or buy.
A custom AI agent built for your specific workflow. Unlike generic chatbots, personal agents are wired into your data, your tools, and your processes. They prospect, draft, research, summarize, and handle repetitive tasks — built for you, not off the shelf.
No. That's the whole point of hiring us. You point us at the workflow that's eating your time, and we build the solution. We also coach your team so they get more comfortable over time — but you don't need to be technical to start.
Great question. AI systems are powerful but not perfect. That's why we design for "AI in the loop"—your team reviews critical outputs before they reach customers or affect business decisions. In your Monthly AI Office Hours, we coach your team on monitoring AI outputs and catching errors early. During onboarding, we show you exactly what to watch for and how to verify results. We handle the technical side. You maintain oversight. That's the partnership.
You are responsible for overseeing AI system outputs before they impact your customers or business. HaleAla designs, builds, and optimizes the systems—but you always maintain control and final authority. Think of it like hiring a contractor to build a tool: we build it well, test it, and train your team—but you own the tool and are responsible for how it's used. For retainer clients, your monthly AI Office Hours include guidance on responsible AI oversight and monitoring practices.

AI Results Disclaimer & Liability

HaleAla designs, builds, and optimizes AI systems for your business operations. However, as AI systems operate with our guidance but under your control, HaleAla is not responsible for:

  • Errors, inaccuracies, or unexpected outputs from AI models
  • Business decisions made based on AI system outputs
  • Data loss, security issues, or system failures
  • Regulatory compliance violations resulting from AI use

You maintain full responsibility for overseeing AI system outputs before they impact your business or customers. We recommend human review for critical decisions ("AI in the loop," not "AI in control").
