We build the tools we wished someone had built for us.
Autom8 Everything started with a small frustration. The tools sold to small business owners felt like they were built for someone with a full ops team, not someone who's also answering the phone, doing the books, and running a job. So we built our own. Cadence is the flagship — an AI receptionist that picks up the calls you'd miss. Around it sits the rest: review collection, custom websites, internal apps.
Founder-led · Built for service businesses · No contract
Why this exists.
Most of what's sold to small service businesses is either built for enterprise (with a sticker price to match), or so generic it doesn't fit how the work actually gets done. The owner ends up paying for software they barely use, plus a few subscriptions they forgot they had.
Cadence started as a way to solve the most common version of the problem: the phone never stops ringing, you can't pick up every call, and the calls you miss are the ones you needed most. Built it for ourselves first, then for a few friends, then enough people asked for it that we made it a product anyone could buy in a few minutes. The phrase we kept coming back to — tools we wished someone had built.
Every week Cadence reviews itself and gets a little better. The line gets tighter while you sleep. That's the whole pitch.
Four things we hold ourselves to.
Not a marketing exercise. The kind of thing we re-read when a decision gets hard, when a feature starts creeping, when a customer email lands at 11 PM.
Focus
Tools that do one thing well. No feature bloat, no 14-tab dashboards. If a feature doesn't earn its place, we don't ship it.
Speed
Cadence goes live in about 11 minutes. Custom work starts the week you sign. We don't drag projects out to bill more hours.
Real privacy
Your data stays yours. We don't sell to third parties or train models on your customer calls. We use the same security we'd want for our own books.
Real support
Email goes to a person, not a ticket queue. The same person who built the thing you're using is the one who answers your question.
“Every tool we ship is something I wanted for my own business first. Then I gave it to a friend. If it still worked there, we made it a product.”
Try one of our tools. Nothing to lose.
Seven free days on any tool. Set it up, see if it fits, cancel in two clicks if it doesn't. No hardware. No contract. No pressure. If you want to talk to a person first, we answer email.
