Industry Description

Our Story

After 15 years helping small businesses run smarter IT, we’ve shifted focus: same audience, sharper tools, bigger impact.

We’ve spent over 15 years working exclusively with SMBs, so our advice speaks fluent “owner”—it’s practical, fast, and built for real-world ROI. Our automation playbooks weren’t written in theory—they were forged in the MSP trenches, where lean budgets and small teams meant every system had to pull its weight.

We approach every engagement with a security-first mindset, building workflows with the same rigor we once used to pass SOC 2 and HIPAA audits. We don’t just build bots—we audit your existing tools, licenses, and tech stack to uncover hidden waste. In most cases, the savings alone cover our fee before we even automate a thing.

And when we do? You’ll have two fully operational workflows live in 30 days. No code, no chaos, and no extra hires—just the outcomes you’ve been promised by software vendors for years but never had the time or support to realize.

FAQs

Find answers to common questions about our services, support, and how to reach us.

What exactly does PathOpt AI do?

We help small and mid-size businesses eliminate wasted software spend, automate repetitive tasks, and reclaim hours every week—without hiring more staff or learning to code. We do it through a 90-day “Launch-into-Growth” program that combines AI agents, automation workflows, and ongoing support.

How is this different from what my MSP or IT provider already offers?

We’re not here to replace your MSP—we optimize around it. While most IT providers focus on keeping systems running, we focus on unlocking the hidden ROI inside the tools you already use. That means cutting down license waste, fixing workflow gaps, and putting your tech stack to work through secure, done-for-you automation.

I already use QuickBooks, HubSpot, and Google Workspace. Isn’t that enough?

Owning the tools is one thing—activating their full potential is another. We help you connect, configure, and automate across the apps you're already paying for so your team spends less time copying, pasting, and chasing tasks—and more time growing the business.

What kinds of results should I expect?

Most clients see thousands in recovered tech spend and dozens of hours saved within the first 30 days. Our audits often uncover 30–70% of unused software licenses, duplicate tools, or inefficient processes that are silently draining margin.

Is this just for tech-savvy companies?

Not at all. In fact, most of our clients are busy owners who don't want to touch an API, read AI blog posts, or manage another tool. We handle the automation, integration, and ongoing support so your team can stay focused on what matters.

What does working with you look like?

We start with a free Tech-Waste Audit to surface hidden spend and automation opportunities. From there, we move into a 90-day Launch phase where we deploy high-impact workflows and set up your first GPT-powered agent. After that, we manage and evolve your automations as part of a monthly subscription—with security, reporting, and support built in.
