Done-for-you AI and automation for growing businesses

We build the AI and automations your team doesn't have time to.

Send a request. Most small ones are done in 48 hours. Nothing goes live until you approve it.

The Workflow Audit fee is credited toward your first month or a build. No long-term contracts.

Illustrative example with demo data.A request reading "Can we automate our customer follow-ups?" goes into the queue. It is planned, built, sent to you for review, and goes live only after you approve it. A log then shows what ran.

How it works

Tell us what you need. We'll take it from there.

  1. Step 1: Tell us what's slowing you down.

    Describe it in your own words, for example: "Our team re-types every web order into a spreadsheet." We turn it into a plan.

  2. Step 2: We plan and build it.

    Most small requests are delivered within 48 hours. Larger work gets a timeline before it starts.

  3. Step 3: You review and approve.

    See the finished work first. Ask for changes, or approve it.

  4. Step 4: We keep it running.

    We maintain what we built, start on your next priority, and send a monthly report of what ran.

One place for every request

No scattered emails, confusing spreadsheets, or lost conversations.

Submit a request in plain language, track its progress, and keep the details together.

Ask for what you need. We'll organize the work.

Client project

T.E.A.M Athletics

One place for bookings, waivers, and admin.

T.E.A.M Athletics runs youth basketball training. We built their website and the system behind it, so families book online and staff run everything from one admin.

The challenge
Schedules, sign-ups, waivers, and updates were spread across many moving parts.
The solution
Parent accounts with child profiles, a workout calendar with capacity and waitlists, online booking with refund credits, e-signed waivers, and an admin for the schedule, rosters, blog, shop, and gallery.

Who you'll work with

James Williams, founder

I started in visual effects in 2009, and I have more than 15 years of experience building work that has to ship on deadline.

I've managed production shots from concept through final delivery, developed software, pipeline tools, and workflows for visual effects and games, and built AI tools and methodologies that integrate with and enhance those pipelines.

I started Cognitivv to bring that discipline to growing businesses. You work with me directly. I scope your requests, build the work, and stay accountable for it after it goes live.

I also build my own products, including RetroSwap and Blockstudy.

Good questions. Straight answers.

Everything you need to know.

Why not hire someone, or use a freelancer?

A hire takes recruiting time and covers one set of skills. A freelancer is one project at a time, and you manage the work.

A plan gives you websites, automations, and AI assistants from one place, with a monthly report of what ran and no long-term contract.

How long does a request take?

Most small requests are delivered within 48 hours, such as a website update, a new form, or a change to a workflow that is already running.

Larger work, like a new customer portal or connecting several business systems, is split into stages. We agree the timeline with you before work starts.

You'll be able to track progress through your workspace.

Can Cognitivv work with my existing software?

In many cases, yes.

We can evaluate your current tools, including your CRM, scheduling system, email platform, spreadsheets, and other business software.

Integration options depend on the capabilities, APIs, and access permissions available in those tools.

Where direct integration isn't practical, we'll discuss alternatives.

What happens after an automation goes live?

We can help monitor, maintain, troubleshoot, and improve supported workflows according to your plan.

If something needs attention, you'll have a way to report the issue and understand the next steps.

The exact maintenance and support coverage will be outlined in your agreement.

Which AI tools do you use?

We select tools based on the problem we're solving.

That may include models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or specialized providers, along with conventional software and automation tools.

Sometimes AI is the right answer. Sometimes it isn't.

We focus on finding a reliable, practical solution rather than forcing every task through AI.

What happens to my business data?

We work with you to determine what information a solution needs and which systems it can access.

Where appropriate, we use limited permissions, access controls, and approval requirements.

Specific data handling, retention, and security commitments are documented as part of the service agreement.

Do I own what Cognitivv builds?

Ownership and usage rights depend on the type of work, third-party components, and your service agreement.

We'll explain which deliverables you own, which tools require ongoing licenses, and what happens if you decide to stop using Cognitivv.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Our plans are designed to avoid long-term commitments.

Your agreement will specify the billing cycle, notice requirements, and what happens to active work when you cancel.

What if I'm not sure where to start?

That's completely normal.

You don't need a technical plan or a finished project idea.

Tell us what's taking too much time, frustrating your customers, or holding your business back.

We'll help you identify a sensible starting point.

Let's make work easier

What's taking up too much of your team's time?
