Fractional AI Ops Retainer

Your AI systems, maintained and extended — without hiring anyone.

For people and teams who already have automations running and want them monitored, fixed, and quietly improved every month — without becoming the person who has to babysit them.

Capped at 10 founding retainer clients, permanently — by design, not a marketing gimmick

I'm intentionally limiting this to a small number of clients so every retainer client actually gets attention, not a queue ticket. I'm opening applications now; founding clients lock in founding pricing for as long as they stay on.

Founding Tiers

Pick the level of hands-on support you need

Every tier includes monitoring so a broken automation gets caught before you notice it's broken, plus a monthly allotment of maintenance and small-improvement time. Bigger asks are scoped and quoted separately, same as a new Build-It-With-You project.

AIVA Maintain

Keep what's running, running.

$150 /mo

~1 hr/mo included

  • Monitoring on your existing automations
  • Fast fixes when something breaks
  • Small tweaks and adjustments
Apply for Maintain

AIVA Priority

The most hands-on tier I offer.

$600 /mo

~4 hrs/mo included

  • Everything in Support
  • Fastest response on fixes
  • Quarterly review of everything running, with improvement suggestions
Apply for Priority

Included time is a monthly reference point, not a hard cap — larger requests are scoped and quoted like any other build.

Apply

Tell me what you're already running

This is an application, not an instant checkout — retainer clients get real ongoing attention, so I want to make sure it's a good fit both ways before we start.

I review every application personally. Expect a reply within a few business days.

Questions

Before you apply

What happens after I apply?

I'll review it and follow up personally — either to onboard you, or to talk through fit if it's not quite the right time yet. Founding clients lock in founding pricing for as long as they stay active.

What if all 10 seats are filled?

You'll go on the waitlist and I'll reach out the moment a seat opens. I'd rather keep this small and genuinely responsive than overextend it.

What counts as "maintenance" versus a new build?

Maintenance is keeping what already exists running well — fixes, monitoring, small tweaks. A meaningfully new automation is scoped and quoted separately, the same as a Build-It-With-You project, though retainer clients get priority scheduling on those too.

I don't have anything running yet — is this for me?

Probably not yet. The retainer is built for people with a few automations already in place. Start with the free AIVA toolkit or a Build-It-With-You project first, then apply here once you've got something worth maintaining.
