Automations that take real work off your team.
AutomateLab is an AI and workflow automation studio for small businesses, startups, agencies, and operators. We design, build, and run the automations that take repetitive work — inbox triage, lead enrichment, reporting, document handling — off your team, so they can ship the work you actually hired them for.
Who this is built for
If a machine could do the thing eating your week, we should talk.
Small & mid-sized businesses
Real ops, real backlog of “we should automate this” that nobody has time to ship.
Startups
We swap your duct-tape ops for reliable pipelines so the team can ship the product.
Agencies
Onboarding, reporting, content, QA — take on more clients without more headcount.
Busy individuals
Stop losing hours to inbox triage, invoicing, scheduling, and reformatting.
C-level
You don’t want a six-month transformation. You want the bottleneck gone next quarter.
Ops & RevOps leads
Own the “everything between the tools” layer? We build the glue that makes it scale.
How to start
Tell us how your work actually flows. In a 30-minute call we walk through your day-to-day and the systems behind it. We come back with a short list of the repeatable jobs worth automating, ranked by payoff and effort, and a concrete proposal for the first one.
No deck, no “digital transformation” language, no commitment. If we don’t see anything worth building, we’ll say so on the call.
Book the intro callWhat we build
Tooling is chosen per project, never pre-baked. We work fluently across Zapier, Make, n8n, Airtable, HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Intercom, Zendesk, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, OpenAI, and Anthropic Claude — and we drop into custom Python or TypeScript when SaaS glue runs out.

FAQ
Do you build, or just consult?
We build. Every engagement ends with running automations in your production systems — not a slide deck. Even the intro call ends with a concrete proposal, not a follow-up workshop.
How are you different from a Zapier consultant?
Zapier consultants connect SaaS tools using built-in integrations. We do that too, but we also build the parts that don’t exist yet — custom AI agents, MCP servers, RAG pipelines, and RPA bridges to legacy systems without APIs. When the no-code path stops, we keep going.
How long does a typical project take?
Most first builds ship in two to four weeks of calendar time. We start narrow on purpose — one workflow, end-to-end, in production — rather than a six-month programme that never lands. Timelines on the catalog are indicative; we confirm scope and dates after the intro call.
Do you handle ongoing maintenance?
Optional retainer covers monitoring, error handling, and changes when upstream APIs break. For one-shot builds we hand over documentation, runbooks, and the repo so your team can take it from there. No vendor lock-in.
What does a project actually cost?
Catalog prices are starting figures in EUR for a fixed-scope build of one workflow. Larger or more integrated projects are scoped after the intro call and quoted up-front — no surprise add-ons, no hourly meter running. Retainers are monthly with quarterly review.
What access do you need?
Read access to the systems where the workflow lives (CRM, helpdesk, billing, repos, docs), plus a working session with the operator who owns it. NDA before kickoff. We don’t ask for credentials we don’t need.
Do we own the code?
Yes. Code, docs, prompts, and configs are yours, in a repo we hand over at the end of the project.
Where are you based and how do you work?
Remote-first, with default check-ins on Slack and two video sessions per week during a build. On-site kickoffs available in Berlin, Amsterdam, and London on request.
Tell us what you would automate first.
One paragraph on the workflow that’s eating your week. We reply within one business day.
