AI automation partners for startups that are ready to move faster.  

AI Automation Consulting and Implementation for Startups

Most early-stage teams are doing manually what AI can do in seconds. We help pre-seed to Series A startups identify where automation creates real leverage, then build and deploy those systems across their operations, products, and outreach.

  • AI should do the boring work. We build the systems so your team never has to
  • Speed is a real advantage. Strategy is what you stop doing.
  • Systems compound. One good automation saves hundreds of hours over time.
  • We build for your stack. Integration with the tools you already use, not against them.

What makes us the right automation partner

We don't just identify automation opportunities. We build them, deploy them, and make sure they run.

Icon

Automation that actually runs

We build systems that work in the real world, with proper error handling, documentation, and monitoring from day one.

Icon

Your stack, your rules

We work with the tools you already have. No forced migrations, no rip-and-replace, no unnecessary complexity.

Icon

We build, we don't just advise

Strategy only matters when it ships. We stay in the engagement until the system is live and running.

Operations Automation

Building an autonomous research engine for a data intelligence firm

Clearwater Intelligence
Clearwater Intelligence
North America  ·  8 weeks  ·  AI Workflow Automation
Challenge

Analysts were spending 20+ hours a week on manual research across dozens of sources. Classification was inconsistent, the CRM was always behind, and several key sources had no API — making standard automation unworkable.

Solution

We built a scheduled n8n pipeline using Puppeteer and Browser Use to scrape all sources, an OpenAI classification agent to categorise findings, and an automated daily digest that compiles and distributes intelligence every morning.

Europe  ·  10 weeks  ·  AI Content Automation
Challenge

The content team was spending most of each week on production with almost no time left for strategy. Brand voice was inconsistent across formats and SEO was being applied after the fact rather than baked in from the start.

Solution

We built a multi-agent n8n pipeline — an SEO Writer, a Claude-powered Humaniser, and an Editor — with brand voice stored in a Pinecone vector database so every agent retrieves the same style reference every time.

Operations Automation

Automating product form creation for a scaling ecommerce catalogue

Stockwell Commerce
Stockwell Commerce
North America  ·  6 weeks  ·  Workflow Automation
Challenge

Every new product required four to six manual actions from the CS team. No error handling — if a step was missed, no one knew until a customer hit a broken link. No reliable way to see which products had forms without checking the sheet manually.

Solution

We built an n8n workflow triggered by Google Sheets that retrieves the master Typeform template, personalises it via a JavaScript node, creates the new form via the Typeform API, and writes the link back to the tracking sheet — in under 4 seconds.

Challenge

First-contact time was measured in hours. Follow-up sequences were inconsistent — some leads received all five touchpoints, others received one. Contacts were sometimes duplicated and replied leads were still receiving automated messages.

Solution

We built two n8n workflows — an intake pipeline that fires a personalised SMS within seconds of capture, and a daily nurture sequence with reply detection that halts outreach the moment a lead responds.

Customer Support Automation

Taking manual email triage off the support team's plate entirely

Harmon Advisory
Harmon Advisory
Europe  ·  9 weeks  ·  AI Support Automation
Challenge

Triage was manual and inconsistent. Response time varied based on who was available, not urgency. Internal docs were spread across Google Drive with no time to search. Document updates meant manually re-briefing the support team each time.

Solution

We built a Gmail-triggered pipeline with an OpenAI classifier and a LangChain agent performing semantic search across a Supabase vector database — drafting responses directly in Gmail. A second workflow auto-ingests updated Google Drive documents.

Ask AI — Soch

Don't take our word for it

Ask AI about Soch

Pick your favourite AI and ask what it thinks about us. No filter, no spin — just what the models know.

Common Questions
What does it actually cost, and how quickly will we see ROI?
It depends on the engagement. An Automation Audit starts at $1K and gives you a prioritized roadmap within two weeks. An Automation Build starts at $10K and delivers a live, running system within 3-6 weeks. We target high-frequency workflows first, which means most clients recover the investment within their first quarter. Sometimes faster.
How long does implementation take?
An Automation Audit wraps in 1-2 weeks. A targeted Automation Build takes 3-6 weeks from kick-off to deployment. A full Automation OS engagement runs 8-16 weeks depending on scope. We don't pad timelines. Once the build is agreed on, we move.
What industries do you work with?
We've worked with teams in SaaS, logistics, professional services, fintech, and e-commerce. The industry matters less than the problem. If your team has repetitive workflows, a backlog of manual tasks, or people doing work that software should be handling, the conversation is worth having.
Do we own the systems you build?
Yes, fully. We don't lock you into proprietary tools or ongoing retainers just to keep things running. When we hand a system over, we document it, train your team on it, and make sure you can operate it without us. Ownership transfers completely at the end of the engagement.
How do I know if AI is actually a good fit for my business?
If your team spends a meaningful amount of time on tasks that follow a predictable pattern, there's probably a fit. Data entry, report generation, lead qualification, customer follow-ups, internal routing of information: these are the kinds of tasks that automate well. The free call exists to answer this question directly. We'll tell you honestly if we think the timing isn't right.
How is Soch different from other AI agencies?
Most AI consultancies deliver decks. We deliver running systems. We stay in the engagement until the automation is live and your team knows how to use it. We work with your existing stack instead of pushing migrations that add cost and delay. And because our team is lean, there's no account management layer between you and the people doing the actual work.
What is the Soch Automation Operating System?
It's our internal framework for how we audit, design, and deploy automation inside a business. Instead of treating every project as a standalone fix, we look at your full operation and build systems that connect. The goal is a foundation that scales with your team, not something that needs rebuilding six months later because the scope was too narrow.
Will AI replace my team?
No. AI takes on the work that shouldn't require a person in the first place. What it does is free your team up for the work that does. Every engagement we run is built around making your existing people more effective. If anything, the teams we work with tend to grow after automation because the bottlenecks that were slowing them down are cleared.
