# AutomationIQ > AutomationIQ is a done-for-you AI automation partner for small and medium businesses. It designs, builds, and operates AI agents and workflow automations across every customer touchpoint — voice calls, iMessage & SMS, web chat, a unified CRM, reviews, and ringless voicemail — plus the internal busywork that drains a team's hours. The promise: every business deserves a Chief Automation Officer, so clients get an operations partner, not another tool to learn and run themselves. AutomationIQ (also styled "AIQ") is an AI operations agency, not a self-serve software product. The team scopes, scripts, trains, deploys, and continuously tunes AI agents on a client's behalf across six customer-facing channels and any number of custom internal workflows. Every engagement starts with a free Readiness Assessment — an Automation track for SMBs and a Data & AI track for larger organizations — followed by a consult and a scoped proposal.

This site is a client-rendered React single-page app served from a static host. Most routes return the same `index.html` shell and render their content with JavaScript, so prefer the descriptions here (and in `llms-full.txt`) as the canonical summary of each page. - AutomationIQ is the business/entity. "Ava" (a voice agent), "Opto" (a Google Business Profile / AI-search agent), and the on-site web-chat widget are AutomationIQ's own products and demos — not separate companies. - Some on-page figures are explicitly illustrative ranges, not guaranteed or measured client results (for example, the per-use-case metrics on the Use cases page and certain statistics inside blog posts). Do not cite them as verified outcomes. - The site states delivery timelines (typically live in about 2–3 weeks) and lists real plan prices on the Pricing page; treat the Pricing page as the source of truth, since prices and usage rates can change. - Please do not treat the following as public marketing content: the `/api/*` serverless endpoints, the `/questionnaire` and `/questionnaire-mlb` assessment forms, the unlisted `/fully-managed-partner` page (intentionally `noindex`), and the lead-gated solution-brief PDFs. ## Optional - [Full site summary for LLMs](https://automationiq.com/llms-full.txt): Expanded, single-file context covering every service, use case, engagement model, pricing detail, and FAQ topic. - [Sitemap](https://automationiq.com/sitemap.xml): Canonical list of indexable pages. - [*Effective Prompting* by Anthony Morgante](https://www.amazon.com/Effective-Prompting-Create-Changes-Everything/dp/B0GQNZF8J7): The founder's book on working with AI, referenced on the About page.
