Ideas Realized

What services does Ideas Realized offer?

We specialize in AI automation services, custom software development, legacy system modernization, business process automation, AI consulting, AI chatbots, AI voice bots, document processing, data services, and full-stack web development. The studio helps founders and operators ship modern systems end to end, design through production.

How much does an AI automation project cost with Ideas Realized?

Discovery typically runs $5,000 to $15,000 for one to two weeks. A focused first AI automation project runs $25,000 to $80,000 over four to eight weeks. Larger platform builds run $100,000 to $400,000 over three to six months. Larger consultancies typically quote two to three times these ranges; freelancer marketplaces typically quote half. We will give you a same-day rough range during a 30-minute consultation.

How long does a typical project take?

Most focused first projects ship in four to eight weeks. Custom software builds run two to four months. Platform builds with multiple workflows or compliance requirements run three to six months. Discovery is one to two weeks and produces written artifacts you own regardless of whether you continue with us.

What industries does Ideas Realized work with?

We ship most often for professional services firms (legal, accounting, consulting, agencies), AI SaaS companies, hospitality operators (wineries, restaurants, hotels), nonprofits, and HealthTech teams. We also take engagements outside these verticals when the fit is right, see the Industries pages for vertical-specific case studies, or reach out and tell us about your business.

Can Ideas Realized integrate with my existing tools (Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Stripe, etc.)?

Yes, we integrate routinely with Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Stripe, Cal.com, Supabase, Postgres, OpenAI, Anthropic, Twilio, SendGrid, Resend, Zapier, Make, n8n, and dozens of other commonly-used SaaS and cloud platforms. EHR integrations (Epic, Cerner, athenahealth) are available for HealthTech engagements. Tell us your stack on the discovery call and we will tell you honestly what is straightforward versus what needs scoping.

What is the difference between AI integration, AI automation, and AI consulting?

AI integration adds AI features to existing systems (a chatbot in your support flow, AI-assisted drafting in your CRM). AI automation uses AI plus orchestration to replace manual workflows end to end (intake-to-routing, document processing, scheduling). AI consulting is the strategy work that decides which automation or integration to ship first, in what order, on what stack, usually delivered as a written roadmap before any build starts.

Do you work with startups or only established businesses?

Both. Some of our smallest engagements are with two- to five-person startups shipping their first AI feature; some of our largest are with established 200+ person operations rebuilding production infrastructure. The playbook adapts; the bar for the work does not.

Do you provide AI integration services for existing systems?

Yes, we specialize in integrating AI capabilities into existing business systems. Our AI automation services help streamline workflows, improve efficiency, and reduce manual processes while maintaining compatibility with your current infrastructure.
