Pick the one thing in your week that drives you nuts — copying invoices, chasing voicemails, double-entry into the CRM. I build the tool that kills it. ~4 hours a week back. Yours in 3 business days.
Pick the one thing your team does every week that nobody should be doing by hand — typing Shopify orders into a sheet, updating inventory after every sale, posting invoices to QuickBooks. I build the tool that does it for them. ~5 hours a week back. Yours in 3 business days.
Maybe it's copying invoice line items into a sheet. Maybe it's chasing down voicemails you keep forgetting to listen to. Maybe it's logging the same call notes in three places. Whatever it is — that's the thing I build the tool for. One tool. One chore. Killed.
Maybe it's typing Shopify orders into a spreadsheet at end of day. Maybe it's updating inventory by hand after every sale. Maybe it's copying invoices into QuickBooks one at a time. Whatever it is — that's the chore I build the tool for. One tool. One chore. Killed.
You do it because your bookkeeper's wrist isn't sore at the end of the day. Because the person in the back office isn't grumbling on Monday morning. Because your team is using their hands and their brains on real work — talking to customers, finding new product, getting home for dinner on time — instead of typing the same thing into the same screen for the eighteenth time this month.
Less headache. Less carpal tunnel. Less grumbling.
That part doesn't show up on a spreadsheet. It shows up everywhere else.
You've heard for two years now that AI is going to change everything. Maybe you've poked at ChatGPT. Maybe a buddy told you to try one of those new "build your own tool" apps. Maybe you spent a Saturday in one and gave up at midnight with a half-working mess.
That's fine. AI is like any power tool — works great when you know what you're doing, dangerous and frustrating when you don't. Learning to run it well is its own job.
I do that job. You tell me the chore. I use the AI tools to build the thing that kills it. You never have to touch the AI yourself.
And the tool that comes back fits the way you already work — Google Sheets, email, your phone. No new dashboard. No new app to learn. No tab to keep open. The fancy stuff stays on my end; your day stays as simple as it already was.
And the tool that comes back fits the way you already work — Shopify, QuickBooks, Google Sheets, email. No new dashboard. No new SaaS subscription. No retraining your staff. The fancy stuff stays on my end; your shop runs the way it already does, just with the chore gone.
You BCC every customer invoice to a special address. The line items, dates, and totals end up in your Google Sheet automatically. No copy-paste. Ever.
Voicemails come into your phone the normal way. A few minutes later, you've got the transcript in your email — already tagged with the deal it's about.
Someone says "follow up next quarter." Three months later, it pings you with the original email and the customer's number. Nothing falls through.
Fill out a form — customer name, quantity, terms. Out comes a clean PDF proposal that already looks like yours. Two minutes instead of an hour.
No more typing SKU, price, description, photo at end of day. Your staff scans the barcode with their phone. The item shows up in Shopify ready to sell. New inventory in seconds, not an hour after close.
Every day's orders post to QuickBooks overnight, in the right accounts, with line items broken out. No more month-end reconciliation marathon. Your bookkeeper sends you a thank-you card.
Watches your inventory. When a fast-mover gets close to running out, it texts you — with the supplier's name and your last order quantity. Reorder by replying "yes."
Seven days after a customer's order ships, they get a personal-sounding email asking for a review — Google, Yelp, wherever. No third-party platform charging you per send.
None of these are products you buy off a shelf. They're each built one-off, for one salespersonbusiness, to fix one specific thing.
Let's Do The Math
What you save
~4 hrs
a week. Every week.
That one chore — copying line items, chasing voicemails, double-entry into the CRM — gone for good.
What that buys you
+1 deal
a month. Conservative.
Sixteen extra hours a month is one more real conversation a week. One more conversation a week is one more deal a month.
What it costs
$2,000
once. Then $300/mo.
If your average commission is north of $2,000, the tool pays for itself the first extra deal you close.
Numbers above are conservative. Your chore is probably worse than four hours a week. Your commission is probably bigger than two grand. The point: the tool pays for itself fast, and after that it's free.
What you save
~5 hrs
a week. Every week.
That recurring chore — inventory entry, order posting, end-of-day reports — done by the tool, not your people.
What that buys you
~$500
a month, in payroll.
~20 hours a month of staff time at a $25/hr loaded cost. Either payroll you keep — or hours your team spends with customers, not the screen.
What it costs
$2,000
once. Then $300/mo.
The tool pays for itself in roughly four months of saved staff time. After that, it runs in the black.
Numbers above are deliberately conservative. Your chore is probably worse than five hours a week. Your loaded labor cost is probably higher than $25/hr. The point: the tool earns its keep in months, and runs free after that.
Step One
$2,000
Flat. Once.
I build the tool, delivered in three business days. Includes the first 30 days of support — bug fixes, tweaks, hosting.
$300/mo
Starts after day 30. Cancel anytime.
Ongoing support, hosting, and me on speed dial for up to two hours of work each month. Cancel and you keep the code.
100%
Back within 30 days.
The $2k covers the build and the first month. If by day 30 it isn't doing the job, every dollar back. No interrogation.
Alex Burch
The tool guy
Phoenix, Arizona
No project managers, no junior developers, no sales engineers, no "discovery phase." You email me, you tell me the chore that's eating your week, we agree on what the tool does. A week later it's running.
I'm not a guru. I'm not a consultant. I'm not selling you a system or a course. I build the one specific tool that ends the one specific thing on your plate. That's the whole job.
If you've got a four-hour-a-week chore that's been bugging you for a year, we should talk.
If there's a daily chore eating your team's time that's been bugging you for a year, we should talk.

Capacity
I take on four builds a month. If the calendar's full when you write in, I'll tell you the next opening — I won't string you along.
