AI automation for service businesses in Nashville The office work, handled.

We build the machine behind your business.

We set up AI that answers the questions coming in, puts jobs on your calendar, follows up on old quotes, and drafts invoices for you to look over.

The first call is a free audit, about an hour on Zoom with Kolton. You keep the written audit even if you don't hire us.

Here's what we build

Most clients start with one system and add more once it's running.

AI office assistant

Your team texts it the way they'd text the office manager. It drafts invoices and estimates, moves things around on the calendar, and checks with you before anything goes to a customer.

Workflow automation

We connect your CRM, calendar, phones and booking tools. A lead from your website lands in the CRM and on the calendar without anybody typing it in twice.

Review and win-back texts

After a job, the customer gets a text asking for a Google review. People you haven't heard from in a while get a check-in text, and some of them book again.

Phone answering

When you can't get to the phone, it picks up and books the job. If the caller wants a real person, it transfers them or takes a message.

Local SEO and AI search

We keep your Google Business Profile, reviews and local pages up to date. That's a big part of showing up on Google Maps, and now in ChatGPT answers too.

Websites

We build fast sites that show up in local search and put your number where people can tap it.

Pick one or put a few together. Either way, they hook into the software you already have.

How it works

  1. Free audit

    About an hour on Zoom with Kolton. He goes through how a job moves through your business, from the first call to the invoice, and puts numbers on what's slipping.

  2. Build

    We build the first piece around the software you already use. Then we test it on real examples from your business before a customer ever sees it.

  3. Run

    After launch we keep an eye on it and tune it every month. If something breaks, we fix it.

A focused system usually takes two to four weeks. A full system with several connections takes four to eight.

  • What I appreciate most is that Kolton took the time to understand our company, our processes, and the specific challenges we wanted to solve, rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution.

Kolton builds every system

Raystone is Kolton Stooksbury's company, out of Nashville. You talk to him on the audit, and you keep talking to him after your system is built. He runs Raystone on the same kind of AI he sets up for clients.

I build these systems for real shops. Then I run my own company on them.

Questions owners ask

What does an AI automation agency do?

It sets up AI to take office work off your plate. Raystone Automations is an AI automation agency in Nashville, Tennessee, and we work with small service businesses. That can mean an assistant your office texts, automations that connect your software, review and follow-up texts, a website, or local SEO. We build it around how you already work and keep running it with you.

How much does AI automation cost for a small business?

It depends on what we build. There are three packages, Essential, Max, and Scale. Each has a setup fee and a monthly fee on a 12-month partnership. The price goes up with how many systems we build and how many tools they connect to. You get an exact quote after the free audit.

How long does setup take?

A focused system, like one automation, usually takes two to four weeks. A full system with several connections takes four to eight. We test it before it reaches your customers.

Where should a small business start with AI?

Start with the leak that's costing you the most. For a lot of shops that's quotes that go cold, or paperwork that waits until Sunday night. Fix that first, then add more once it's working. Finding it is what the free audit is for.

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

Service businesses that live on calls, appointments and follow-up. Right now we work with plumbing, pest control, landscaping and contracting, painting and remodeling, mobile auto repair, vacation rentals, and a wellness practice. If you run something similar, the same kind of setup usually works.

Do you only work with Nashville businesses?

No. We're based in Nashville and work with clients in other states. Almost all of the work happens over Zoom and phone, so you don't need to be local.

Will it work with the software I already use?

Usually, yes. We've connected field service software, CRMs, booking and practice management tools, property management systems, calendars, and phone lines. If a tool has an API, we can almost always connect it. If it doesn't, we'll tell you what the options are.

What happens when the AI can't handle something?

It hands it to a person. The office assistant checks with you before anything goes out to a customer. On the phone, it can transfer the call, take a message, or set up a callback. We test those handoffs before launch and keep checking them after.

Who does the work?

Kolton does. The person who looks at your business on the audit is the same person who builds your system.

How long is the commitment?

It's a 12-month partnership. The monthly fee pays for running the system and making it better: tuning, new automations, content, reviews, and support.

What can't AI do for my business?

It can't do the trade, and it can't own your relationship with your customers. It won't fix a broken process on its own, and it still needs a person checking its work. That's why we start with one problem and build from there.

What's slowing you down?

Book a call with Kolton. It's a free audit, about an hour on Zoom, and you keep the write-up whether you hire us or not.

We're a good fit for owners who are serious about growing.
