For people, there are free community clinics and one-time help that’s quoted before we start. For business, Managed AI is a one-time build. We only scope a retainer if you actually need one.
01 · Education Clinics
Practical, plain-language safety sessions for community centres, seniors’ residences, faith organizations, schools, libraries, cultural halls and workplaces. No cost to host, no sales pitch. Just knowledge that protects people.
No charge to your organization, ever. You bring a room and a group; we come to you with the session.
Built for real people, not IT professionals. Habits anyone can use the moment they walk out the door.
No membership afterwards and no follow-up pitch. If someone needs more help later, that’s one-time help, quoted first.
02 · One-time help
No plan, no monthly fee, no listed rates. We quote a one-time price once we know what you actually need.
03 · For business
The same hands-on, no-jargon approach we bring to families, applied to small business. We build and manage AI agents that handle the repetitive work (lead response, follow-ups, client communication) so you can focus on the work that matters.
You don’t buy hours. You buy operational scale: how many automations run inside your boundary. Every client runs on their own dedicated infrastructure, fully managed, end to end.
What it looks like
A lead writes in after hours. The agent answers in your voice within seconds, offers real times, and books it. You wake up to a booked estimate, not a missed one.
PricingSetup is one-time. Retainers are scoped, not fixed. The prices below cover the build. If your automations need ongoing tuning or monitoring after launch, we quote a monthly retainer on your actual scope, never a flat fee applied blindly.
AvailabilityCurrently accepting initial engagements. Managed AI is in early rollout. We’re working directly with a small number of clients to make sure it fits before we scale. No pressure, no pitch.

What counts as one automation?
Multi-channel setups (say Instagram DMs, web forms and voicemail) use more than one slot within your plan’s capacity. We scope this with you before anything is built.
04 · Custom Pipelines · Not an automation tier
The tiers above are always-on agents, waiting for a message. A pipeline runs when you trigger it: a report to pull, a batch to process, an inbox to sweep. Tell us the job, and we design the system around it.
Try itPress the button and watch a pipeline run end to end.
It moves your data through the tools you already use (inbox, spreadsheet, CRM) exactly the same way, every time. Plain, predictable logic wherever it can be, and AI only where it’s genuinely the better tool.

We use what we build
Before we set anything up for you, we live with it ourselves. This is a real night for our in-house assistant, running on private infrastructure we manage. Details are generalized.

05 · The agents
Growth and Max include 3 and 4 builds in their base setup; more are $500 each, up to your plan’s capacity. Nothing gets built before it fits your workflow.
Answers inbound inquiries and moves leads toward a booked call.
Follows up at day 3, 7 and 14, so the conversation stays warm without you.
Sends curated service information the moment a call is booked.
Thank-you notes, next steps and action items after every client meeting.
A monthly industry email to your past clients, written for you.
A well-timed review ask after a deal or project closes.
Same-day follow-up to attendee lists from open houses and events.
If a repetitive task is eating your time, there’s likely an agent for it.
06 · Why The Elder IT
Every client runs on their own dedicated infrastructure. Your data never touches another client’s system.
Most people selling AI automation to small businesses have no clean answer for where client data goes, who can see it, or what happens when something breaks. Each of our clients is configured and run on an isolated setup, with the data boundary designed in from day one, not bolted on after.
