How a project runs

Small first step, measured result, then grow

1Audit

Find the work worth automating

We map how work moves through your team and pick 3 to 5 tasks where automation will save the most time. You get a written plan with estimated hours saved.

About 1 week
2Build

Automate one workflow and measure it

We build on the tools you already use, test with your real (approved) data, and measure time saved and accuracy against how things ran before.

2 to 4 weeks
3Run

Keep it working and add more

We watch the automations, fix anything that breaks, tune them as your business changes, and send a monthly report on what they handled.

Three systems we can show you live

Each one is adapted to your tools and rules. Yellow steps are where a person on your team stays in control.

Lead management agent

  1. A website form or email inquiry arrives
  2. AI pulls out what the customer needs, budget and timing
  3. The lead is scored against your criteria
  4. A CRM record is created or updated
  5. A personal reply is drafted for your approval
  6. The right team member is notified

Typical result: replies go out in minutes instead of the next day.

Document processing agent

  1. An invoice, contract or form is uploaded or emailed
  2. AI extracts the fields you care about
  3. Totals, dates and required fields are checked
  4. Anything uncertain goes to a person
  5. Clean data lands in your sheet, database or accounting tool

Typical result: data entry shrinks to reviewing exceptions.

Business reporting agent

  1. Data is collected from the systems you authorize
  2. Numbers are summarized against last week and last month
  3. Anomalies and missing data are flagged
  4. A manager reviews the draft report
  5. The approved report goes to your team

Typical result: Monday's report is ready before Monday.

Pricing · CAD

Our prices are on the page

Most agencies make you book a call to hear a number. Ours are below. Your exact quote depends on how many systems are connected, and you get it in writing before any work begins.

Founding pilots · 3 spots

Our first three clients get a tightly scoped pilot for $1,500–2,000 CAD. In return we ask for structured feedback and, if you're comfortable, permission to publish a short case study.

Prices exclude applicable taxes. US clients can be invoiced in USD at the equivalent rate. AI model and software usage is billed to your own accounts where possible, so you see exactly what it costs.

Why Clerkwell

Five questions to ask any automation agency

Ask us, and ask everyone else you talk to. These are our answers.

What will it cost?

Published price ranges, and a fixed quote in writing before work starts. No hourly billing surprises.

How do I know it works?

We measure the task before and after on your own data, against targets you agreed to. The final payment depends on it.

What happens when the AI is wrong?

Fixed rules check the AI's work. Anything uncertain, and anything going to a customer, waits for a person on your team.

Who owns it?

You do. It runs in your accounts with your keys. If we part ways, it keeps running.

What if it breaks later?

Defects are fixed free for 30 days. After that, an optional monthly plan covers monitoring and fixes with set response times.

Safeguards

Your data and your customers stay in your control

People approve what matters

Payments, outgoing customer messages and important decisions wait for a person on your team to approve them.

Your accounts, your keys

We build inside accounts you own wherever possible. If we part ways, everything stays with you.

Separate for every client

Each client's credentials and data are kept separate, and secrets are stored encrypted.

Every action logged

Each automated step is recorded, so you can see what happened, when and why.

Clear failure handling

When something fails, you get an alert and a person picks it up. Nothing fails silently.

Privacy law in mind

We design to Canadian privacy requirements (PIPEDA and provincial law) and the rules where you operate.

Questions

Before you book

Do we need to change the software we use?

Usually not. We connect to the tools you already have, such as Gmail or Outlook, Excel or Google Sheets, HubSpot and other CRMs, QuickBooks, and most systems that offer an API or email export.

Is this just a chatbot?

No. Most of what we build runs in the background: reading documents, moving data between systems and preparing drafts. A chatbot is only one option, and often not the most useful one.

What happens when the AI gets something wrong?

We design for it. Uncertain results are flagged and sent to a person, required fields are checked by fixed rules, and important actions need approval. During the pilot we measure accuracy against your own data so you can see the error rate before relying on it.

Who owns what you build?

You own the workflows we build for you and your data. We keep the right to reuse our general-purpose building blocks across clients, which is part of why our prices are lower than fully custom development. The agreement spells this out.

How fast can we start?

An audit can usually start within a week. A starter project typically takes 2 to 4 weeks from kickoff to handover.

Do you work outside Canada?

Yes. We work remotely with clients in the US, the UK, Australia and elsewhere, and schedule calls in your time zone.
