Three simple steps. No consultants in slacks.

i.

Pay & receive your number

Check out securely through Stripe. We email you a phone number and a time window to dial in — usually within the hour.

ii.

Talk to the agent

Call when you're ready. Our AI interviewer walks you through your operations: what you do daily, what eats your time, where things break.

iii.

Get your report

Within 24 hours we deliver a written automation map — ranked opportunities, rough effort, and what software or scripts would do the job.

What lands in your inbox.

You don't get a sales pitch or a generic checklist. You get a real document, written for your business, that you could hand to a developer or a virtual assistant tomorrow.

Fair things to ask.

Is the AI any good?

It's purpose-built to interview operators about their workflows — it asks follow-up questions, digs into specifics, and doesn't let you off the hook with vague answers. After the call, a human at our shop reviews the transcript before writing your report.

Do I have to install anything?

No. You'll get a phone number in your email. Call it from any phone. That's the whole technical setup.

What kind of businesses is this for?

Owner-operated shops, small contractors, professional services firms, agencies, e-commerce stores — anyone running a real business with daily operational work that someone is doing manually. If you have a process, we can probably automate part of it.

What if I don't have time for a 30-minute call?

You can call back later in the day or the next day — the number stays active for 7 days. The AI also handles short interruptions gracefully.

Are y'all really in Austin?

Yes. Ortega, Scott, and Co. is based in Austin, Texas. We work with clients across the country, but you can always reach a human here if you need to.
