A missed call gets a reply. A customer gets a reminder. Your team starts the day with the details already in place.
We help you put useful AI and automation to work, starting with the tasks you would most like off your plate.
Acknowledge a new inquiry, alert the right person and keep the next step from disappearing in a crowded day.
Send timely reminders, collect useful details and stop follow-up when the customer responds.
Move approved information between forms, stages, calendars and staff so the next person begins with context.
Help people find a useful next step while keeping approvals and sensitive decisions with the right human.
You do not need to automate the whole business at once. We can start with one clear outcome, test it, learn from it and decide what should come next.
The names make the range easier to remember. The outcome, dependencies and price decide the right level. Ranges overlap because integrations, approvals, volume and exception handling change the work.
A useful first step. Acknowledge an inquiry, notify the right person or organize a contact.
Build: $0–$75 · Ongoing: $0 · Usage: possible.
Usually handled inside Pondo. No website or custom domain is needed for this example scope.
Follow-up that keeps moving. Missed-call texts, reminders and stopping when someone replies.
Build: $0–$350 · Ongoing: $0 · Usage: likely.
Usually handled inside Pondo. No website or custom domain is needed for this example scope.
A smoother handoff. Forms, bookings, customer stages and invoice reminders working together.
Build: $275–$900 · Ongoing: $0 · Usage: likely.
Usually handled inside Pondo. No website or custom domain is needed for this example scope.
An easier path to action. Booking funnels, a staff work screen or approved social posting.
Build: $900–$1,800 · Ongoing: $49–$199/month · Usage: likely.
Mostly Pondo. Funnel work may need a page, with an optional branded domain.
Helpful conversations. Answer common questions, gather details and guide people to the next step.
Build: $1,800–$4,500 · Ongoing: $99–$399/month · Usage applies.
Pondo keeps routing and records connected with the agreed AI components. A website or custom domain is not required by default.
Follow-up by voice. Targeted calls to eligible leads or missed appointments, with human handoff.
Build: $3,500–$8,000 · Ongoing: $299–$1,000/month · Usage applies.
Pondo keeps routing and records connected with the agreed voice components. We confirm consent, calling requirements and where your team takes over.
More of the transaction handled. Orders, booking changes, payment links and approval-ready records.
Build: $8,000–$15,000 · Ongoing: $500–$1,800/month · Usage applies.
Outside tools are commonly involved. Payment actions and accounting updates need explicit approval controls.
A coordinated team of helpers. Move work between specialist assistants and keep track of each handoff.
Build: $12,000–$22,000 · Ongoing: $750–$2,500/month · Usage applies.
Pondo connects with outside tools where the work calls for them. We agree how each handoff is checked and when a person steps in.
More of a recurring role handled. Customer follow-up, support sorting or content production at scale.
Build: $20,000–$40,000 · Ongoing: $1,500–$4,000/month · Usage applies.
Outside components are expected. We define the recurring responsibilities, quality checks and human escalation—not a promise that a person’s role disappears.
An end-to-end operating service. A connected front desk, support or order process, with checks and human escalation.
Build: quoted · Ongoing: $2,500–$8,000+/month · Usage applies.
We bring the necessary systems together around the agreed service. Website, domain and infrastructure needs depend on the work and customer experience.
The build ranges help us choose a starting point; they are not automatic checkout quotes. A $0 build or ongoing entry does not mean subscription access or metered usage is free.
Access: the Pondocean level and permissions the system needs.
The build: designing, connecting, testing and launching the work.
Ongoing help: tuning, monitoring, incident work or operation after launch.
Usage: messages, calls, AI usage, phone numbers, premium actions and outside services.
We separate these parts before approval and explain any account-level requirement before work begins. We also verify consent, permissions, integration availability and applicable requirements before activation.
Start with the work itself: how often it happens, how many minutes it takes, and how much review will still be needed.
Hours recovered = monthly task volume × minutes avoided ÷ 60 − review and exception time.
For example, 300 follow-ups at four minutes each represent 20 hours. If review still takes five hours, that leaves 15 hours of capacity. At an assumed loaded cost of $30 per hour, that is $450 per month of capacity value.
A $40-per-month tool is a separate possible saving only if you can genuinely retire it. These are planning inputs—not promised savings, a payroll reduction or a revenue forecast. Build, ongoing service, usage, training and transition costs still belong in the decision.
Your Pondocean subscription provides access to tools and features. An automation level describes the work being built. We help you match the two.
Ask AI and compatible templated automation managed as part of the system, rather than customer workflow editing. The general baseline includes one templated automation; specialist and existing agreements may differ.
Self-service automations, Ari AI, sites, funnels and forms, with eligible quoted custom solutions. Two initial Brook activations help you get started.
Growth capabilities plus access to custom agents and Communities. Initial implementation includes three Stream builds, the documented templated website and one internal staff tool at Pond scope.
Platform access with agreed hands-on operation and tuning. Your written agreement defines capacity and deliverables. Proactive done-for-you service is separately selected unless expressly bundled above the base level.
Ask AI, Ari, support assistance and commissioned custom agents serve different purposes. Access does not itself design, buy, activate or operate a custom agent.

AI Enablement is its own service. We help with practical Claude and ChatGPT introductions, organized company knowledge, working routines, governance and the infrastructure your team needs to use AI confidently.
That can include local office AI where it fits. Local hosting still needs proper access controls, updates and support; it is not an automatic compliance certificate.
Choose the recurring job or outcome you want help with.
Look at the information, tools and approvals it depends on.
Agree the build, running costs and where your team stays involved.
Build and test with clear handoffs and recovery paths.
Launch, review what happens and decide what to improve next.
No. Growth and Pro allowances are selected during initial setup or upgrade. They do not refill every month or remain banked indefinitely.
Often, but not automatically. We check whether the tools can connect, what information they share, who needs access, what happens when something fails and what the ongoing costs will be.
Not every build should. We agree where someone reviews the work, approves the next step or handles an exception.
Support follows your service and written agreement. Proactive monitoring or ongoing done-for-you work is separately agreed and priced for your service level. It is not automatically included, even with Managed. Your written terms identify any selected or bundled service.
Sometimes. Sites, editable workflows, custom agents, Communities and internal tools can depend on account permissions. We explain any required change before activation.
Bring us one repeated task or a connected operating problem. We will help you find the smallest useful starting point and show what it takes to run.
Already working with us? We can help you add the next useful piece to your current service, with the approach and any additional cost agreed before work begins.
