Robert House AI Workflows

AI workflow automation

Automate the repetitive work and keep people in charge of the decisions.

I connect the tools you already use so that invoices, intake forms, reports and routine replies move on their own. Anything unusual goes to a person for approval, and every result is logged.

Where the hours go

Which of these takes up your team’s week?

01

Re-typing data between systems

Orders, invoices and client details copied from email into accounting, CRM or spreadsheets by hand.

02

Chasing documents and approvals

Reminder emails, missing forms and approvals stuck in someone’s inbox.

03

Answering the same questions

Routine customer and staff enquiries that need a careful, consistent reply every time.

04

Rebuilding the same report

Monthly numbers assembled from several exports before anyone can make a decision.

Services

Start with one workflow and expand once it pays for itself.

The assessment is a small fixed engagement. Each build after it is quoted separately, so you decide with results in hand.

Build

Workflow Build

I build and test the chosen workflow on your real examples, then train your team to use it.

  • Connections to your existing tools
  • Review step for exceptions
  • Testing on your own data
  • Staff training and written guide
Analytics

Dashboards and Reporting

Clear reporting on what each workflow processed, what it saved and where people stepped in.

  • Data pipeline from your systems
  • Dashboard your team can read
  • Monthly figures built automatically
  • Definitions documented
Ongoing

Care Retainer

Monitoring, fixes and improvements as your tools and volumes change.

  • Monitoring and fixes
  • Monthly improvement hours
  • Quarterly review of new candidates
  • Priority response

Measured results

See what each workflow does every week.

Every workflow ships with a dashboard that shows volume, hours saved and how often people stepped in. You judge the investment on numbers, and I use the same numbers to tune it.

  • Hours savedBased on the time each task took before automation.
  • Review rateThe share of items sent to a person, with the reasons recorded.
  • Errors and overridesEvery correction is logged and used to improve the workflow.

Your data

Built by a Canadian privacy specialist.

I work with PIPEDA, CASL and Québec Law 25 in my daily practice. Every assessment classifies your data before anything is automated, and the workflow design follows from that classification.

  • Canadian and self-hosted optionsWorkflows run on infrastructure in Canada or on servers you control.
  • Redaction before AINames and identifiers are removed locally before text reaches an outside model.
  • Full audit trailEach automated action is logged with its inputs, output and approver.

Fit

Is this right for your business?

A strong fit

  • Teams of about 5 to 100 people
  • A task repeated daily or weekly
  • Information that already lives in email, forms or software
  • A clear rule for what a correct result looks like

Better solved another way

  • Tasks that happen a few times a year
  • Decisions that rest on personal judgment
  • Processes the team has not agreed on yet
  • Problems a spreadsheet formula would solve

Common questions

Before you book.

Do we need technical staff?

No. I build and maintain the workflow and give your team a plain language guide that explains what it does and when to step in.

Is it safe to send our documents through AI?

The assessment classifies your data first. Sensitive material is redacted locally or processed by a self-hosted model, so private details stay under your control.

What tools do you work with?

Common email, accounting, CRM, forms and file storage platforms, plus most systems with an API. I confirm compatibility during the assessment.

How long does a build take?

The timeline is set in the quote. A single focused workflow is often running within a few weeks of approval.

What if the workflow makes a mistake?

Anything that reaches a customer, a payment or a record of consequence passes a review step first, and every correction is logged.

Describe one task in a 30 minute call. You will learn whether it is a good first candidate and what it would take to automate it.
