What’s eating your week?
Tap everything that applies. Watch the hours come back, and see which level fits.
How it works
Software is the tool. AI is the one using it.
You don’t learn new apps. We connect AI to the ones you already have, test it in front of you, and hand you the keys.

Why SB Automation
Engineered, not guessed.
Steve Bethea spent 7 years as an electrical engineer before building AI systems for local businesses. Every setup is mapped, built and tested like a system, because it is one.

FAQ
Straight answers.
Do I need to be good with tech?
No. We set it up and train you. If you can text, you can use it.
Will this replace my staff?
No. It takes the repetitive work off them so they can focus on customers.
Is my data safe?
Your accounts stay in your name. Build access is removed at handoff. If you choose care, you approve separate, limited access.
What does the software cost?
Starter and Operations usually run $20–150 a month. Custom setups and phone call usage are quoted. We tell you exactly before you buy anything.
What if it doesn’t work for my business?
We test it live before you pay the second half. If it doesn’t do the job, you don’t pay for it.
