In short
Red Center Studio designs and sets up AI agents and automation systems for businesses worldwide: website assistants that answer customers, qualify leads and book jobs, agents that draft quotes and documents, and automations that connect existing tools through APIs and MCP. Setup starts from $999 USD, typically takes 2 to 6 weeks, and ongoing management is optional.
Who it is for
- Service businesses that miss calls and enquiries after hours.
- Teams that spend hours each week drafting quotes, documents or follow-ups by hand.
- Businesses that want to add an AI agent to their website, connected to their real systems rather than a generic chatbot.
Sound familiar?
- We lose jobs because nobody answers the phone or the website chat at night.
- I spend my evenings writing quotes and copying details between apps.
- We tried a chatbot plugin and it made things up about our prices.
- I want an AI agent that can actually check availability and book the job.
What changes for you
- Every enquiry answered, qualified and routed, around the clock.
- Quotes, documents and follow-ups drafted for review instead of written from scratch.
- Hours of repetitive admin removed each week, with a person still in control of the decisions that matter.
What is included
- Discovery: the questions, tasks and handoffs the agent should handle, and the ones it should not.
- An AI assistant on your website or app, answering from your own approved content.
- Lead qualification and booking or quote handoff into your calendar, CRM or job system.
- Agents that draft quotes, documents and follow-up messages for review.
- Integrations with your existing tools through APIs and MCP servers.
- Workflow automation for repetitive admin: intake, reminders, data entry and notifications.
- Guardrails, human handoff and conversation logs so you can see what the agent said.
What you receive
- A working AI assistant or agent, live on your site or connected to your tools.
- Documented automations, running in your own accounts.
- A prompt and knowledge setup you can update as your services and prices change.
- A handover guide and a review of the first weeks of conversations.
Stack
OpenAI or Anthropic models through their APIs, MCP servers for tool access, Cloudflare Workers for the agent backend, and integrations with booking tools, CRMs, Stripe, Twilio and email platforms.
What is not included
- AI model usage and third-party subscriptions, which are billed to your own accounts.
- Changes to the systems the agent connects to, unless they are in the quote.
- Answers outside the content and rules you approve: the agent hands anything else to a person.
Price and timeline
Setup from $999 USD.
Optional ongoing management, quoted with your setup. AI model usage is billed by the provider to your own account. Timeline: 2 to 6 weeks. Prices are in USD.
Care and Growth Plan
From $300 USD per month
Hosting oversight, updates, monitoring, small changes and priority support after launch.
How it works
Blueprint, Build, Launch, Care.
- Blueprint. Discovery of the jobs the agent should do, the tools it connects to and the guardrails it needs, with a fixed setup quote.
- Build. The agent and automations are built and tested against real questions from your business before anything goes live.
- Launch. Go live with conversation logs and human handoff switched on, then tune the answers from the first real conversations.
- Care. Optional ongoing management, or the Care and Growth Plan from $300 USD per month, to keep answers current and integrations running.
I work remotely with clients worldwide. Questions, reviews and updates run asynchronously across time zones, with calls booked at times that suit you.

AI agents and automation questions
How much does it cost to add an AI agent to my website?
A ready-made AI assistant that answers customers and captures leads is $99 USD a month with no setup fee and the AI usage included: see the Done-for-You AI Assistant. Custom agents and automation that connect to your tools start from $999 USD for setup, depending on how many tasks the agent handles and how many tools it connects to. For custom setups, model usage is billed by the AI provider to your own account, and ongoing management is optional.
Will the AI agent make things up about my business?
It is set up to answer from your own approved content, with guardrails for topics it should not handle and a handoff to a person when it is unsure. Conversation logs let you check what it said.
What is MCP and why does it matter?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard for connecting AI models to tools and data. It lets an agent check availability, look up a customer or create a booking in your existing systems, rather than only chatting.
Which AI models do you use?
Models from OpenAI or Anthropic, chosen for the task and your budget, accessed through their APIs under your own account so you control the data and the costs.
How long does setup take?
Most setups take 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the number of integrations and how much testing the workflows need.
Do you work with businesses in other countries?
Yes. The studio works remotely with clients worldwide and runs projects asynchronously across time zones.
Not quite right?
A step up, or a smaller first step.
Done-for-You AI Assistant
$99 USD per month, no setup fee
The Done-for-You AI Assistant from Red Center Studio is a monthly plan that puts an AI assistant on a business website or inside an app built on Bubble. It answers customers from the business's own approved content, captures leads and hands off to a person when it is unsure. Plans start at $99 USD per month with no setup fee and a 3-month minimum term, and include setup, hosting, AI model usage up to the plan's conversation limit and a monthly content update. The plan is new: founding clients are set up in the order they join, and nothing is charged until their assistant is live and approved.
Custom MCP Servers, Claude Plugins and ChatGPT Apps
From $3,500 USD
Red Center Studio builds custom MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that connect AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT to a business's own tools and data, with sign-in, per-user permissions and an activity log, hosted on Cloudflare Workers in the client's own account. It covers internal connectors for a team, public servers and Claude plugins for a product, and ChatGPT apps built on MCP. Builds start from $3,500 USD and usually take 2 to 6 weeks.
