Governed AI workflows · Paid per output

AI workflows that can't overstep. You pay only for what they deliver.

Give me one repetitive job your team does every week. I'll build an AI workflow that does it, with hard limits on anything it's allowed to change. You pay for each finished output you accept, not for hours, seats or experiments.

3 pilot spots Free to pilot Then pay per accepted output

Every action goes through a check

Example
Pick something the workflow wants to do:
Allowed

Drafting changes nothing. The reply waits in a queue until a person reads it and sends it.

action=draft_customer_reply access=read+draft decision=ALLOW

What you pay for

You buy finished work, not software.

A pilot starts with one job. These are the kinds of output a governed workflow can hand back to you.

Reconciled payments

Payments matched across your bank and payment apps, with every mismatch listed for a person to check.

Sorted enquiries

New enquiries read, tagged and ranked, each with the reason it was ranked that way.

Call summaries

Recorded calls turned into notes: what was asked, what was promised and what's due next.

First drafts

Replies, quotes and reports written from your own templates, waiting for someone to approve them.

These are examples, not client results. Your pilot is scoped around your own work.

How it works

From one job to paid output in four steps.

  1. Pick one job

    Something your team does every week, with a clear idea of what "done" looks like.

  2. Agree the limits

    We write down what the workflow can read, draft and change, and who approves what.

  3. Run it and review

    The workflow does the job. You check the output, accept what's right and send back the rest.

  4. Pay per accepted output

    After the free pilot, each accepted output has an agreed price. Work you send back costs nothing.

How the checks work

Thinking is free. Changing things needs permission.

Autonomy is what an agent may decide. Authority is what it may change.

The rule every workflow is built around

Most AI tools give an agent a tool and, with it, the power to change things. I keep those apart. The workflow can work things out freely, but the right to change anything sits outside it, in rules you can read.

  • Reading and drafting are safe by default.The workflow can look things up and prepare work without changing anything.
  • Changes need permission.Anything that writes, sends, pays or deletes must be allowed in the written rules for that job.
  • Risky changes wait for a person.You decide which actions need a named approver before they happen.
  • Everything is recorded.Every request and decision is logged, so you can see what happened and why.

A green build is not permission to merge

Three public incidents from last year explain why the software workflow I built today opens pull requests but refuses to land them, even when every test passes.

Who you'd work with

Hi, I'm Dinesh.

I design AI workflows around one idea: they should do useful work, and nothing else. Each one starts as a written set of rules, and I test those rules by trying to break them.

I also run small businesses of my own, so I build for people who need the work done on a Monday morning, not for a demo.

Design-partner pilot

Three teams. One workflow each. Free.

You get the workflow and its output during the pilot at no cost. In return, I ask for honest feedback and permission to write up what we learned, anonymised if you prefer.
