What We Do

# Three ways we help.

Engagements usually start in one of three places. Most blend across all of them as the work unfolds.

TL;DR

Who FM is for

Small and mid-sized companies who need a senior partner for AI and software work.

What FM delivers

AI Adoption, Agents & Automations, and Custom Software — picked together or separately.

How FM works

Senior-only team. AI-first delivery. You own everything FM builds.

The Three Pillars

[

## AI Adoption

Figure out where AI actually belongs before you build anything. Operational assessment, workforce enablement, and a roadmap you can execute.

Learn more](/solutions/ai-adoption)[

## Agents & Automations

Take routine operator work off your team — copying data, building reports, routing approvals. AI agents where reasoning is needed; plain automation where it isn’t.

## Custom Software

Bespoke software for when off-the-shelf doesn’t fit. Senior-only team, AI as a real collaborator, you own every line of code.

In Practice

## What this looks like, concretely.

A sample of what AI Adoption, Agents and Automations, and Custom Software actually look like in practice. If something on this list sounds like your problem, that’s a good sign.

### Claude Enablement

Get your team running on Claude. We're Claude Enablement Specialists — rollout, training, and the patterns that turn it into daily leverage.

### n8n & Zapier Automations

Visual workflow automation set up the right way, so non-engineers can extend it without breaking what already works.

### Custom Agent Systems

Custom agentic deployments and automations built on OpenClaw, Hermes, and other modern agent frameworks — the right tool for the job rather than locked into one.

### MCP Servers

MCP servers built around your data and workflows. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, and your own agents to the systems they actually need — without one-off integrations for every tool.

### Technology Replatforms

Shed legacy tech debt with AI-accelerated replatform projects — design, build, and content migration in weeks instead of months.

### Custom AI Knowledge Bases

Your team's knowledge, searchable and conversational, without leaking it into someone else's training data.

### Customer Service Enablers

Agents and copilots that handle the routine and route the rest to your team with context already loaded.

### Content Operations

AI-powered content production that scales without adding headcount. Plan, draft, and ship without burning out your writers.

### AI Agents for Sales Ops

Lead routing, CRM hygiene, and pipeline reporting handled by agents instead of analysts.

What We Don't Do

## We say no a lot.

A short list of things we're not the right firm for.

-   Renting senior people as staff augmentation
-   Advisory engagements that end in a deck instead of working software
-   Platforms or stacks our clients can't operate without us
-   Domains we don't actually know

If you need any of those, we can usually point you to someone good.
