How we work

Four phases from discovery to live automation, you own the result, we operate it.

Phase 01

Map the workflow

We start with a free AI audit, a written review by email: your current process as you describe it, the automation worth doing first, and a rough payback estimate.

Phase 02

Prototype

We build a working prototype of the automation within the first two weeks. You test it against real scenarios, give feedback, and approve the behavior before a single live transaction runs through it.

Phase 03

Add quality gates

We integrate human-in-the-loop checkpoints where they matter (escalation paths, confidence thresholds, audit logs), so the AI handles volume and your team handles exceptions.

Phase 04

Deploy & improve

We go live on your own infrastructure, your server, your cloud account, your data. Monthly retainer covers monitoring, prompt tuning, and iteration as your business evolves.

Why businesses choose IG Digital Lab

We are an AI implementation agency, not a SaaS vendor, we build, own the outcome, and run the system for you.

A fixed deliverable and a flat fee

We scope a fixed deliverable (a working automation), and charge a flat setup fee and flat monthly retainer. If we miss the brief, we fix it.

Private AI on your infrastructure

We can deploy on your own cloud account or server. If a system uses an outside AI model, we tell you which one and what data it sees before you sign off.

Live products as proof

We build and run our own AI products, FirstReply (AI receptionist) and RightForms (legal document software), and our founder runs roughly twenty live AI systems in production, so your automation is built by people who operate this daily.

Direct access to the builders

You work directly with the team building your automation, no account managers, no handoffs. Questions get answered same day; changes get shipped same week.

We show you the payback math

Every engagement starts with an audit that quantifies the cost of the current manual process and the expected payback timeline for the automation.

Managed after launch

Automation degrades as your business changes, new products, new workflows, new edge cases. Our monthly retainer keeps the system tuned and improving.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about AI business automation and what working with us looks like.

What is AI business automation?

AI business automation means replacing manual, repetitive work (answering phones, routing support tickets, processing documents, searching internal knowledge), with AI systems that run 24/7 without human intervention. We design, build, and operate those systems on your own infrastructure so your team can focus on higher-value work.

What business processes can you automate with AI?

We automate inbound phone intake (AI voice agents), customer support and live chat (AI support agents), document review and data extraction (workflow automation), internal knowledge retrieval (private RAG), and request qualification and follow-up. Request a free audit and we will map the highest-ROI automation for your specific workflow.

What does AI business automation cost and what is the ROI?

Engagements start with a fixed-scope implementation fee (one process runs $2,500 to $6,000, connected systems $6,000 to $15,000) and, after launch, a flat monthly support plan, no usage overages. ROI depends on the process automated: a recovered appointment worth $2,000 in a high-ticket vertical can pay back the full setup cost in weeks. We scope every project with a free AI audit and give you a clear payback estimate before you commit.

How long does it take to deploy an AI automation?

Typical timelines are 2-4 weeks for AI voice agents and support bots, and 4-8 weeks for more complex workflow or RAG deployments. We handle the entire build, testing, and integration, you review and approve before anything touches your live business.

Is my business data safe?

We can deploy on your own cloud account or server. If a system uses an outside AI model, we tell you which one and what data it sees before you sign off. For sensitive industries (legal, medical, financial) we can implement additional data-residency and access controls as part of the engagement.

Do you serve businesses outside Sacramento?

Yes. Our office is at 3550 Watt Ave, Suite 408, in Sacramento's Arden-Arcade district, and we deliver all automation projects remotely across California and the rest of the United States. We take projects from San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Los Angeles, San Diego, and beyond. Every project follows the same audit-to-launch process wherever you are, and Sacramento-area clients can also have us on site.
