AI automation for local businesses

Put AI to work where your business actually needs it.

MJB AI Automation builds and manages practical AI for local businesses — lead response, scheduling, follow-ups, custom tools. No one-size-fits-all software. We look at how you work, find what's costing you time or customers, and build the piece that pays for itself.

What we build

AI applied four ways, depending on what your business needs

Every business loses time and money in a different place. We start with the use case — then build only what earns its keep.

Lead response & AI assistants

Missed calls and web forms answered in seconds, appointments booked on your real calendar, customer questions handled 24/7.

Workflow automation

Follow-ups, review requests, data entry, reports — the repetitive work that eats your week, running on its own in the background.

Custom tools

Quoting calculators, internal dashboards, job trackers — built around your workflow, not the other way around.

Consulting & roadmaps

Not sure where AI fits? We audit how you operate, show you what's worth automating (and what isn't), and hand you a plan.

Featured project

Alfred — a managed AI assistant that never misses a lead

Our flagship product: Alfred answers your missed calls and web leads in seconds, books appointments, and follows up — fully managed, nothing for you to learn. It's the demo at the top of this page, and it's live for real businesses today.

$300–500
one-time setup

Setup & training

We connect Alfred to your phone, website, and calendar, train it on your services and pricing, and test it with you before it goes live. Most businesses are live within a week.

$99–150
per month

Fully managed

Monitoring, updates, and improvements included. You get a real person — not a ticket queue — when you want something changed. Final rate depends on call and lead volume.

Flat, honest pricing — on the page, where it belongs. One recovered job usually covers months of service, and there are no contracts. Custom automation and tool projects are quoted per scope after a free consultation.

Who's behind it

Built and run locally in Chicagoland

I'm Max Bowen, founder of MJB AI Automation. I build and manage every Alfred deployment personally — which means when you call, you get the person who built your system, not a support line.

I work with a small number of local businesses at a time so every client gets real attention. If you run a business in the southwest suburbs and you're tired of losing leads to voicemail, let's talk.
