Questions about AI consulting and automation for small businesses

Straight answers, no jargon.

Everything you're probably wondering about how OrintUp's agents work, what they cost, and how your customers experience them.

We build AI agents that quietly handle the repetitive work draining your team — answering calls and texts, booking appointments, sending reminders and follow-ups, and collecting intake. Your people stay focused on customers and the work only they can do; the agents handle the busywork in the background, inside the tools you already use.

Someone who does more than recommend tools. Check for five things. Here is how we do each one.

Business-first thinking. We build the plan before we build the solution. Every engagement starts with a Digital Business Plan that maps one part of your business and shows where time, money, or opportunities are being lost.

Practical automation. We build departments that carry the work: Front Desk, Reputation, Back Office, Website, and Sales, Marketing & SEO.

Small-business economics. The plan is $997, credited in full toward your first build. If the plan can't show you more value than it cost, you don't pay for it, and you keep the plan either way.

Hands-on implementation. We do the building, configuration, and testing inside the tools you already use, and you approve it before it goes live.

Ongoing support. Departments run month to month, with monthly reporting, so the work keeps improving after launch.

And ask for a real example. Ours is Slocum Chiropractic in Brunswick, Maine: new patients went from 1.5 to 3.7 a week in the first two months. Read the Slocum Chiropractic story.

Four groups today: Health & Wellness (chiropractic, dental, optometry, clinics, PT, counseling, salons, medspas), Home Services (electricians, plumbers, roofing, siding, landscaping), Real Estate (agents and teams), and Professional Services — financial, insurance, accounting, and any business with routine, repetitive operations. If it's repetitive, an agent can usually take it off your plate.

We are based in Topsham, Maine. Around Maine and New Hampshire we show up in person. Everywhere else we work the way this whole industry does: inside your systems, with your team on the call, from wherever we are. See where we work.

It depends on what we're building. You'll get a real date on the conversation, before you commit to anything. It's a done-for-you setup — not a long software project, and there's nothing technical to lift on your end.

No. The agents work inside the tools you already run on — your phone line, Google Calendar, Gmail, Google Drive, Calendly, HubSpot, QuickBooks, Outlook, Microsoft Office, and more. Nothing new for you or your team to learn.

The agents are built in your voice and tuned to your business, so conversations feel natural and on-brand. The goal isn't to trick anyone — it's to respond instantly and helpfully so a lead never waits, and to hand off to a human whenever that's the right call.

Yes — that's where a lot of the value is. Missed and after-hours calls are usually a customer about to call a competitor. Your agent answers 24/7, texts back instantly, and books the appointment before the lead goes cold.

It depends on what you want handled. Most owners start with a Digital Business Plan, built in a day on their own numbers, in one part of the business. Bigger jobs, a full AI Readiness Audit or a Full Business Assessment, get scoped and quoted for your business. Either way you get the number on a free 30-minute conversation, before you commit to anything.

You start with a plan built on your own numbers, before anyone builds anything. If the plan can't show you more value than it cost, you don't pay for it, and you keep the plan either way.

Yes. Your data stays inside your existing tools and is used only to run your agents. We don't expose raw customer data, and every external connection is logged. If you have specific compliance needs, raise them on the audit call and we'll walk through exactly how it's handled.

Just access to the tools the agents will work with and a short kickoff conversation about how you want things handled. We do the building, configuration, and testing — you approve it before it goes live.
