Proof · RuFlow

## We build production agent systems, not demos

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the free 48-hour AI automation audit?

You tell us where you want AI to help: a process, a product feature, or a repetitive task eating your team's time. Within 48 hours a senior engineer sends back a written scope, a recommended first automation or build, and a fixed estimate. It is free and there is no obligation. It exists because it matches how our best inbound leads already reach us: they arrive knowing the problem and want a concrete plan and price, fast.

### Do you work with early-stage AI startups?

Yes. For founders and engineering teams we ship AI features fast, extend Claude and agent systems, and act as a fractional AI team when you need senior ML capability without a full-time hire. Our own open-source agent framework, RuFlow, runs up to 60 agents in parallel with shared memory and model routing. Proof we build production agent systems, not demos.

### Can you automate a non-technical small business?

Yes, and this is where a lot of our SME work sits. We build done-for-you automations for operations, sales and marketing, bookings and scheduling, and customer support. Connected to the tools you already use. You do not need a technical team; we scope it, build it, and hand it over with documentation, typically in weeks.

### How much does it cost and how fast can you deliver?

Every engagement is scoped to a fixed price after the free audit, so you approve the cost before any build starts. Most focused automations and AI features reach production in 3 to 8 weeks. We work in weekly sprints with working software at each step, and we staff every engagement with senior engineers only.

### What is a fractional AI team?

A fractional AI team is senior AI/ML capability you engage part-time or per-project instead of hiring full-time. You get engineers who have shipped production AI, on your roadmap, for as long as you need them and no longer. It is the fastest way for a startup or SME to add real AI capability without a long hiring cycle or a permanent headcount.
