I build AI systems that give small business owners their week back.
One workflow, fully automated, live in 14 days. Fixed price — $2,500. You own the code.
Recent build
End-to-end job research and scheduling system for a trade contractor — saving 20 hours every week.
The offer
The AI Pilot Sprint.
One workflow. Fully automated. Live in 14 days. We take the most time-draining process in your business and replace it with a working AI system.
Map & spec
A workflow deep-dive call, then a written automation spec in plain English. You approve it before a single line of code is written.
Build & integrate
I build the system and wire it into the tools you already run — your CRM, email, calendar, spreadsheets, whatever your stack is.
Go live
Deployed to production. Your team gets a walkthrough video and plain-English docs. Then 30 days of included fixes and tuning.
No-surprises guarantee: 50% to start, 50% on delivery. You approve the written spec before we build — if I don't deliver what's specced, you don't pay the second half.

Case study · Trade contractor
Job research and scheduling, automated end-to-end.
A trade contractor was burning most of a workweek finding jobs, researching them, and coordinating schedules by phone and email. We built an AI system that does the research, drafts the outreach, and manages the calendar — the owner just reviews and approves.
Before
20+ hours/week of manual research, calls, and scheduling
After
A review queue the owner clears in under an hour a day
“GroveX understood the goals and pains of my business and built an AI agent ahead of schedule that now I can't live without.”
“I couldn't afford to hire an admin assistant and probably only had 15 hours a week of work for that person, but GroveX built an AI agent that takes all of it off my plate.”
Products I've shipped
Not just client work — I build and run my own software. When you hire GroveX, you get someone who ships production systems, not slide decks.
Full scheduling SaaS — booking pages, calendar sync, reminders.
Shopify app for sending curated care packages — customer gifting at scale.
Open-source regression testing for LLM agents — record runs, replay in CI, catch quality and cost regressions.
Self-hosted observability for production AI agents — cost, latency, and tool-call metrics with alerting.
Swipe-based matchmaking for Valorant players looking for a duo.

About
One operator-engineer.
No agency overhead.
I'm Colton Sims. I've spent the last 3 years building production AI and custom software for small businesses — from a trade contractor drowning in scheduling, to owner-operators who needed an admin assistant but couldn't justify the hire.
GroveX exists because most “AI consultants” either don't build things, or build things you can't maintain after they leave. I do both: I write the code, I ship the product, and I leave you with a system your team can run on Monday morning — clean repo, plain-English docs, no lock-in.
I also ship my own software — including Schedra, a scheduling SaaS small businesses use to run their booking workflow. When you work with me, you're hiring someone who runs production systems every day, not a strategist with a deck.
