The busywork problem
The problem is rarely a missing app. It is the repetitive work between the apps you already have, done by hand, by people who should be doing something else.
Copying details from forms into the CRM, booking appointments through rounds of phone tag, answering the same questions again and again. Each task is small, and together they fill the week.
Quotes go out and nobody checks back. Cold leads and past customers sit in a list because no one has the time to work it, so work you could have won goes quiet.
When every inquiry gets the same attention, your best people spend hours on leads that were never going to buy. A real estate agency had exactly this problem before Lithium built its lead-qualification bot.
The CRM, calendar, phone, POS and spreadsheets each hold part of the picture, so someone retypes the same customer details from one system into the next and mistakes creep in.
What we automate
Lithium works as an AI automation agency for service businesses: every project starts with how your operation runs today, then we build whatever will make the biggest difference for your team. These are the seven kinds of work we automate.
Four kinds of custom build
Multi-step processes that run on their own. An incoming lead triggers the reply, the booking, the reminder and the update to your records, with no one copying details by hand.
Chatbots that answer common questions in your brand voice, pre-screen inquiries against the criteria you set and route the promising ones to the right person.
Pipelines that collect data where it starts, clean it up and deliver it where your team works, so lists and reports stay current without manual exports.
Connections between your CRM, calendar, phone, POS and spreadsheets, so a change in one system shows up in the others without anyone retyping it.
Three everyday automations
AI reads invoices, contracts, intake forms and reports, pulls out the details you need and puts them straight into your CRM or spreadsheet.
Email and text sequences that check back on open quotes, warm up cold leads and re-engage past customers on a set schedule, without anyone remembering to do it.
After each completed job, a personalized review request goes out automatically. Responses are monitored, and you get an alert when feedback comes back negative.

How a project runs
Four steps from the free discovery call to a system that runs on its own, with a price you approve before any build starts.
We audit how your business runs today and pinpoint where AI would create the biggest return for your team.
We define exactly what we will build, why it matters and which of your tools it connects to, so the price matches the real scope.
We build the system, train it on your business and connect it to your CRM, calendar, phone and other tools, with your review at each milestone.
Your automation goes live in the tools your team already uses, and we tune its scripts and logic based on how it performs.
Integrations
An automation only helps if its work shows up where your team already looks. Every Lithium build connects to your existing systems, so a booked job, a qualified lead or a processed invoice lands in the right place.
Ready-made: AI receptionist
No custom build needed. Lithium’s AI receptionist answers every call 24/7 in your brand voice, qualifies leads, books appointments and sends follow-up texts, fully managed for $179 a month and live in days.

Pricing
Custom AI automation is priced per project and scoped on a free discovery call, so you know the number before anything is built.
Scoped
after a free discovery call
Custom builds typically take 1–2 weeks, depending on complexity. Clear, upfront pricing with no surprises and no hidden retainers. After launch, we monitor and support the system.
Your first call is with a co-founder, not a junior account manager.
“I’ll map out a practical plan to integrate AI into your business. You’ll leave with clear, actionable steps, whether you hire us or not.”
DJ Van ZantenCo-Founder, Lithium MarketingIt depends on scope, and you see the price after a free discovery call, before any work starts. A simple workflow automation costs much less than a multi-system AI agent with CRM integration and custom training. Every project is sized to deliver a measurable return.
Custom builds typically take 1 to 2 weeks, depending on complexity. Lithium handles discovery, the build, testing and deployment; your part is answering our questions about your business.
It is a free conversation about how your business runs today, focused on where automation would save the most time or recover the most revenue. Bring a messy workflow, a customer support bottleneck or a repetitive task list, and we will talk through where AI can realistically help and what we would build first.
It fits best when your team repeats the same tasks every week: answering the same questions, scheduling, chasing leads, sending follow-ups or retyping data between tools. Lithium has built automations for a plumbing company, a real estate agency and a gravel contractor, each around one specific bottleneck. The discovery call is where we find out whether your business has one worth automating.
Lithium’s automations connect to your CRM, calendar, phone, email, POS, spreadsheets and project management tools. Integration is a core part of the work: the automation runs inside your existing workflow, not alongside it, so leads land in your CRM and appointments on your calendar, and details pulled from documents land in your CRM or spreadsheet. Most clients keep using the software they already have.
No. As your AI automation agency, Lithium does the technical work. Your team carries on with its day while the automation does its part in the background.
The AI receptionist is a ready-made, fully managed product that answers your calls; AI automation is a custom build around your own workflows. The receptionist answers every call 24/7, qualifies leads, books appointments and sends follow-up texts for $179 a month, with no contracts. Custom automation covers the rest: chatbots, follow-up sequences, document processing, data pipelines and integrations between your systems, scoped after a free discovery call.
Lithium provides ongoing support after launch, so problems and process changes come back to the team that built the system. Tell us what changed, and we adjust the automation as your business evolves.
Nothing about it is hidden: the AI works in your brand voice, and the goal is faster, better service, not pretending to be a person. For phone systems we customize the voice, script and tone to match your business, and chatbots and follow-up messages use the same brand voice across every channel.
