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.

I

Day 1–3

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.

II

Day 4–11

Build & integrate

I build the system and wire it into the tools you already run: your CRM, email, calendar, spreadsheets, whatever your stack is.

III

Day 12–14

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.

The terms2 slots / month

One fixed price.

Quoted up front · Never hourly

50% to start · 50% on delivery

Proof

Real builds, real hours back.

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.
Adam · Small business owner
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.

About

One operator-engineer.
No agency overhead.

Colton Sims, founder of GroveX

I'm Colton Sims. I've spent the last 3 years building production AI and custom software for small businesses.

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 build and run my own software in production. When you work with me, you're hiring someone who runs live systems every day, not a strategist with a deck.

Questions

The ones we get most.

One fixed price, quoted before we start. 50% to start, 50% on delivery, and you approve the written spec before I build anything. Bigger multi-workflow builds are scoped fixed-price after your Sprint. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.

The Pilot Sprint ships in 14 days: spec by day 3, built by day 11, live in production by day 14. Larger builds typically run 4 to 8 weeks with a fixed timeline before we start.
