Industries served in the Triangle

MKAI works primarily with home services companies (HVAC, plumbing, electrical), colleges and universities, healthcare practices, nonprofits, and growing e-commerce brands. The firm has deep experience in enterprise technology from Cisco and Lenovo, combined with hands-on fluency in higher education systems including Jenzabar SIS. This combination makes MKAI especially effective for organizations that need both technical depth and practical business understanding.

How engagements start

Every engagement begins with a free 30-minute discovery call. During the call, we learn about your business, the work that's eating your week, and where automation would have the most impact. After the call, we recommend a starting point — sometimes a quick-win automation that can be live in days, sometimes a full AI readiness audit for a more complex operation. There's no obligation after the call.

Pricing ranges

The small business automation package starts at $1,550 one-time setup plus $24.99/month. AI readiness audits, custom automation builds, and enterprise engagements are scoped and priced individually based on complexity. Discovery calls are always free.
