Ninth Fold builds custom AI solutions, agents, and automations for the businesses that want to compound, not just keep up. No bloated platforms. No vague pitches. We sit down, study your operation, and ship something that earns its keep.
Every engagement is custom. These are the shapes we ship most often. If your problem doesn't fit a box, that's exactly when to call us.
A senior pair sits with your leadership, audits the operation, and hands back a roadmap of what to automate, what to leave alone, and where AI actually pays. No slop, no fluff.
Quote-to-cash, onboarding, lead routing, billing reconciliation. We take the repetitive guts of your business and put them on rails.
Multi-step agents that handle research, outreach, support triage, and back-office tasks — built to your tools, not a vendor’s.
Branded chat and voice assistants for sales, support, and intake. Trained on your knowledge, fluent in your voice.
Clean, governed pipelines so your AI has fuel that’s worth burning. We connect the systems your team already lives in.
If your problem is weird, regulated, or unsexy, this is the door. We scope it, prototype it in days, and ship something your team is trained to own.
A 30-minute call, then a working session with your team. We map the workflows, the data, and where the bleeding actually is.
You get a one-page plan: what we’d build, what it costs, what it returns. If the math doesn’t work, we tell you.
We build against real data with weekly check-ins. By week four you are clicking the thing, not reviewing a slide about it.
We train your team, document everything, and stay on retainer only if you want us to. The system is yours.
Big agencies hand you a deck. SaaS vendors hand you a seat. We hand you a working system, your team is trained on it, and we stay until it hums.
Our team has run ops, sales, and engineering at real companies. We design for the people doing the work.
We use the best models and platforms under the hood, but every system is shaped to your business — not the other way around.
No hourly meters, no scope-creep games. You see the number, you see the deliverable, you see the date.
Your accounts, your data, your code. We hand off cleanly, and we leave when you say so.
Three recent builds. Real workflows, real numbers. Names are held until clients clear them — swap in your own as you publish.
A regional HVAC company drowning in manual quote-building. We shipped an agent that drafts quotes from a photo and a voice note, then routes them for one-tap approval.
“It paid for itself before the second invoice. My techs stopped doing paperwork at 9pm.”
A DTC brand with a support queue that grew faster than headcount. We built a branded chat + voice agent trained on their policies, fluent in their tone.
“Customers can’t tell it isn’t us. The escalations that do come through are the ones that should.”
A 40-person firm losing days every month to billing reconciliation across four systems. We put the whole flow on rails with a human-in-the-loop checkpoint.
“Month-end used to be a fire drill. Now it’s a coffee and a review screen.”
Local businesses and early-stage startups looking for an edge, all the way up to teams that want to scale a specific function fast. If you have one workflow worth fixing, we have a way in.
Pilots typically run $8k–$25k for a single workflow; multi-system builds scale from there. Every engagement is fixed-price after the discovery call — no hourly surprises.
Median time from kickoff to a clickable prototype is two weeks. Full production-grade systems usually land in four to six.
No. Everything we build runs on your accounts, your cloud, your keys. The handoff includes documentation and training so your team can own it the day we leave.
Whatever fits the problem — frontier LLMs (Claude, GPT, Gemini), open-source models when privacy matters, plus the automation layer that already lives in your stack.
That’s exactly what the discovery call is for. Bring the messiest workflow you can think of — we’ll show you what an AI version of it looks like before you commit to anything.
You bring a workflow that's bleeding hours or money. We bring two questions and a whiteboard. If we can help, we'll say so. If we can't, we'll tell you who can.
Leads discovery and roadmap. Best call if you’re still figuring out where AI fits in the business.
Maps the plan with you. Take this call if you want a clear-eyed read on where AI pays off first.
Runs the build floor. Take this call if you have a clear workflow you want shipped.
