Built with Claude

The path to live

From first look to fully running.

1

Diagnose

We diagnose your business

A deep async diagnostic, analyzed: the work eating your week, the tools you run, where Claude fits.A working session is included, not required.

2

Build

We wire it to your tools

We connect Claude to the apps you already run. Custom pieces built where the standard kit stops short.

3

Prove

We break it on real data

Your actual invoices, your actual inbox. We test against real work until it is reliable. Proven, not a demo.

4

Handoff

Your team takes the wheel

Live walkthrough, plain-English runbook, support after handoff. You leave knowing exactly how to run it.

What you get back

About 15 hours a week.
Back on your terms.

The typical SMB owner spends a full day and a half on work that runs on autopilot the moment Alchmy is set up.

That table isn't the menu. It's just the six we see most.

Claude works inside whatever your business actually runs on: your scheduling software, your invoicing tool, your inbox, your spreadsheets. The free audit maps it to your exact workflows, not a template.

Map my workflows FREE · 3 MINUTES · NO SIGNUP

Typical ranges for common SMB workflows. Your real numbers come from the free audit.

Powered by Claude

The tools you already run.
Working together.

Seven connectors drop into the software your team uses every day: your accounting, your CRM, your inbox, your documents. Nothing to replace. No new dashboards to learn.

The kit is excellent. Getting it live in your business is a different job. Which workflows fit your team, how they connect to your specific setup, and training your people so it actually sticks. That's the part we do.

Get your tailored AI read.

Seven quick taps, then a read built for your business: the workflows that fit, the hours and money you could get back, and free first moves you can make this week. Drop your site and we'll scan it to sharpen the read. We email you a copy.

Question 1 of 7

What kind of business do you run?

Pick the closest.

Question 2 of 7

What eats the most time right now?

Pick all that apply. These map to Anthropic's ready-to-run workflows.

Question 3 of 7

Which tools do you already use?

Pick all that apply. These are what Claude connects to.

The proprietary tool your whole day runs through. We connect to those too.

Question 4 of 7

How big is your team?

Question 5 of 7

How are you using AI today?

Question 6 of 7

Roughly how many hours a week does this busywork eat across your team?

A rough guess is fine. We use it to estimate your time back.

Question 7 of 7

When do you want this running?

Last step

Where should we send your read?

We tailor it to your business and email you a copy. Add your site and we'll scan it to make the read sharper.

Questions you'll have before saying yes.

Will this replace my team or make me cut staff?

No. The whole point is to take the busywork off your team's plate: the invoice chasing, the inbox sorting, the data entry, the copy-paste. That frees your people to spend their time on the work that actually grows the business and that only humans do well. We amplify the team you already have. We do not replace it.

How much does it cost to set up AI for a small business?

Our done-for-you setup is one fixed price: $7,497 for the full 30-day install, with your first 30 days of operations included. After that, ongoing AI operations is $997 per month and you can cancel anytime. No hourly billing, no surprise scope. Most small businesses recover the cost in saved hours within the first quarter. Start with the free fit check and we map your specifics first.

How long does it take to get AI running in my business?

30 days from kickoff to live. Week 1 we map your business, weeks 2 and 3 we wire your tools and build, week 4 we test on your real data and train your team. You go from no AI to AI handling real work in a single month.

Do I need any technical skills or AI experience?

None. This is fully done for you. We handle the setup, the connections, and the custom work, then we train your team in plain English with a runbook and short videos. If you can use email, you can use what we build.

Can AI really handle my invoicing, inbox, and bookkeeping?

Yes. We set up AI to chase unpaid invoices, sort and draft your inbox, close your books at month-end, catch and route new leads, review contracts, and send you a weekly numbers report. You approve anything that goes out, sends, or pays until you trust it.

Will it work with the tools I already use, like QuickBooks, HubSpot, and Google Workspace?

Yes. It connects to the tools small businesses already run: QuickBooks, HubSpot, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, PayPal, Canva, DocuSign, and Slack. We wire the ones you use during setup, and build custom pieces for anything the standard connectors do not cover.

Is my business data safe?

The AI runs inside your own accounts and environment. We do not store your customer data on our servers, and your data is not used to train models. For regulated data (HIPAA, SOC 2, FINRA) we will tell you up front what we can and cannot take on.

What do I actually own after the 30 days?

Everything. The workflows, connections, and custom skills live in your accounts and are yours to keep. The monthly operations retainer is optional. Most teams keep it for the first few months while adoption sticks, then decide.

What is Claude for Small Business?

It is the small-business AI package that powers what we install: a set of ready-to-run workflows, reusable skills, and connectors to the tools you already use, all running through Claude. We are the team that picks the right pieces for your business, wires them in, and trains your people so it actually gets used.

Am I locked in?

No. You own the setup, the workflows, and the custom skills after handoff. The monthly operations retainer is optional and you can cancel anytime. Nothing here traps you.

What happens if something breaks?

During setup we test against your real data until it is reliable, and you get 30 days of support after handoff. Keep the operations retainer and we monitor connector health, retune as Claude updates, and catch issues before they become your problem.
