Emails piling up. Invoices late.
You’re meant to be the CEO, not the janitor.
From 5 to 50,000 employees
The math your accountant won’t show you
That gap is why 65+ business owners have already switched.

Who builds your AI employees
Founder Paras Khurana holds postgraduate qualifications in AI from Caltech and in cybersecurity from MIT, plus an MBA. Most of our engineers come from the world’s leading institutes, and they build and run every AI employee we deploy.
It leaves out the long lunches, the sick days that aren’t, the slow months before someone quits, and the client they upset on the way out.
Reality check
Real cost is often 15–20% higher.
“Porsche prices, Honda performance.”
Get the same work for about $21,500 a year*.
That’s one AI employee doing a full-time hire’s work, for about 70% less.
*Plans start at $499/month + one-time build fee, quoted after your free assessment. Monthly fee starts only when targets are met. A typical full-employee-equivalent runs about $1,792/month ($21,500/year) to match a human hire’s output. Final pricing depends on the features and functionality you need.
Now it fits a small-business budget
Large enterprises cut operating costs by 30–45% by handing routine work to AI.
The same tools are now priced for businesses doing $200K+ a year.
Don’t think “software.” Think “new hires who show up every day and never need a pep talk.”
Each AI employee is built from 10,000+ hours of real operations data.
They don’t “assist” your team. they do the work.

Client results
Three owners on what happened after AI employees took over the busywork.
“My AI assistant pre-qualifies leads and schedules showings around the clock. I’m no longer losing hot leads that come in after 5 PM—I focus on closing deals, not chasing paperwork.”
Growing fast but drowning in chaos. Team burning out.
Revenue up 22%, team stress way down.

Real Estate Broker, Blueprint Realty Inc.
“Hiring was overwhelming. QLIA cut our hiring costs 39% and reduced time-to-fill by 34%. Efficiency soared—now we scale without the chaos.”
Endless resume sifting, missed talent windows.
Filled roles 34% faster, costs reduced 39%.
Elias T. Montrose
Co-Founder, Growth Beyond Limits
“Our AI assistant handles 52% of routine inquiries, freeing our human staff to focus on complex customer needs. Customer satisfaction actually improved because response times went from hours to seconds.”
65-hour weeks, drowning in admin, missing family dinners.
Admin time cut in half, revenue up 18%, weekends back.

The Performance-Gated Guarantee
You pay once for us to design, build and secure your custom AI worker in a protected, isolated environment. That one-time build fee is the only thing you pay up front. Our monthly management fee doesn't start until your AI worker hits the targets we agree on together, such as hours saved each week or volume processed, tracked on your own dashboard. If it falls short, we keep tuning it at no monthly cost until it gets there.
Most AI agencies sell you a generic bot and leave the ROI to you. We build a custom AI worker and don't charge a monthly fee until it proves its value on your dashboard.
Hours saved, tasks handled, response times. Written down before we build.
A custom AI worker for your workflows, set up in a protected, isolated environment. One-time build fee.
Until your dashboard shows the targets met, the monthly fee is $0 and we keep optimizing.
Example What a target can look like for an AI employee
Handles 15 hours of admin a week (inbox triage, scheduling, data entry), counted task by task on your dashboard.
How targets are measured: before we build, we record your current numbers as a baseline and write the targets into your proposal. Your dashboard logs what your AI worker actually does (tasks completed, volume processed, time saved), so we both read the same figures. The examples above are illustrations, not promised results; your targets are set for your business. See guarantee terms
93% of our clients see measurable time savings in the first 30 days. Most get 15-20 hours a week back right away.
Our AI employees are trained on 10,000+ hours of real business operations. They’ve already made, and learned from, millions of decisions.
Our team sets everything up with you and keeps tuning it after launch, so the time savings show up fast.
Every AI employee has built-in time tracking, so you see exactly how many hours you get back, as it happens.

From the blog
Recruiting fees are the cheap part. The empty seat, the slow search and the hire who doesn't work out are where hiring gets expensive.
Salary is the first line on the bill. Payroll taxes, benefits, ramp-up, manager time and the risk of starting over take a $50,000 hire to about $80,000 in year one.
