Your way into AI

The simple way to bring your business into the AI era.

Everyone says you need AI in your business. Nobody tells you how without hiring an engineer, wiring up ten tools, or disappearing down a rabbit hole for six months. DocsHound is the simple way in: you describe what you want in plain English, and it becomes the AI employee that handles it, so you get the upside of AI without the madness.

No engineers to hire. If you can describe the job, you can set it up.
No AI rabbit holes. One friendly tool, not a stack you have to learn.
Up and running in an afternoon. Not a six-month project.

Meet your hounds

What your hounds can do for you

Most print shops start with one of these three.

A hound running a process and sending an email

Automate a process

Turn the quote and job-intake work that interrupts the press into clean, routed requests the shop can price.

Quote intake — take the product, quantity, size, and stock the customer wants and start a draft estimate
File and spec requests — tell customers the size, bleed, and format you need and collect the job details
Proof approvals — send a reminder to approve the proof and log the sign-off before the job goes to press
Pickup and shipping — confirm the ready date and whether it is local pickup or shipping, then send the notice
Follow-up — text a thank-you and a reorder link once an order is picked up or delivered

Fewer stalled jobs waiting on details, and a press floor that is not stuck quoting on the phone.

Serve your customers

Answer the questions customers ask over and over, day or night, in your voice.

Ballpark pricing on business cards, flyers, banners, yard signs, and large-format prints
Standard turnaround, rush options and fees, and whether a deadline is doable
What file format, size, resolution, and bleed you need to print a job cleanly
Stock, finish, and size options like matte, gloss, foam board, or vinyl
Shop hours, pickup, shipping, and how proof approval works

Every customer gets a straight answer in seconds, even after the counter closes.

Support your team

Give your pressroom, designers, and counter staff one place to check instead of asking you.

Look up pricing tiers and stock options for a product before quoting a customer
Check standard and rush turnaround so the counter can promise a realistic date
Share the file specs, bleed, and color settings each product needs to run clean
Pull the proof-approval steps and what has to be signed before a job goes to press
Walk new help through how you take a job, build a ticket, and route it to the floor

Your crew moves faster, reprints less, and stops interrupting you with the same questions.

What DocsHound can automate for your business

Based on your business, here is what we would set up first. Each one gathers what you need and takes the next step for you. Create them now or tweak later.

You are all set.

We are putting your Hounds together. Check your inbox for a link to start adding what your business knows.

Simple to set up. Here is what you get.

No project, no jargon. Describe what you want in plain words and your business starts getting this back:

Anyone can set one up

No IT person, no setup project, no training. If you can describe the job, you can build the hound.

Save hours every week

The asking, collecting, and replying you do by hand all day runs itself, so you win the time back.

Open while you sleep

Customers get answered and jobs get booked at 2am, not just nine to five.

One business, a pack of hounds.

You do not run your whole business out of one inbox, so your AI should not either. A Hound handles one job, whether that is a process, a client, or one part of your world, and does it the same way every time.

Put one hound on staff questions, one on each property you manage, one on quotes for the field crew, one per client. Each stays in its lane, so the work stays clean and nothing gets crossed.

For your staff

Answers HR, PTO, and policy questions so the office does not have to.

One per property

Takes maintenance requests and resident questions, and routes them.

One per client

Runs their intake and onboarding, their way, every time.

For the field crew

Answers manual and SOP questions from a phone on the job.

Take one for a walk.

What this hound handles

a small business

Ask the Hound

Ask me a question, or say you need a quote or a callback and watch me take the details and hand them off.

Start by using it yourself. Share it when you are ready.

Use it yourself

Keep it private and get your own answers first. Nobody else has to know it exists yet.

Give it to your team

Invite employees so the person who used to get asked everything stops being the bottleneck.

Put it on your website

Let customers ask the same questions your staff already answers twenty times a day.

Connect it to your tools

When integrations land, your hound can push what it collects into the software you already use.

What would you put in yours?

Not sure what goes in first? Here is what three very different people would start with.

Joe the Plumber

Quote intake, plus warranty and pricing answers, so every tech in a truck gets a straight answer without calling the office.

Bob the Bookkeeper

One per client, handling new-client intake and answering “how does this one close their books?” before he even opens the file.

Any small business

The stuff that always lives in one person’s head, so the whole team can get an answer on day one instead of waiting for the person who knows.

Your first Hound is free

Pick one job you do over and over, like customer intake, quotes, or the questions your team fields all day, and let your first hound handle it. Set up in minutes, free to start.
