AI automation
Agents and workflows that take repeatable work off your team — lead qualification, reporting, content ops, support triage.

AlphaBean partners with growth-hungry consultancies and mid-market businesses to ship the AI, marketing systems and engineering that actually move metrics — not slide-deck pilots that go nowhere.
The problem
You don't need another AI tool. You need someone to look at how your business actually runs and ship the workflows, automations and engineering that take you from "we should automate that" to "it just happens."
Lead routing, reporting, follow-ups — all done by hand, all costing more than they should.
You've bought the licences. The team isn't using them. There's no measurable ROI.
Campaigns generate leads. The handoff to sales and delivery leaks every step.
Strategy consultants advise. Dev shops quote $200k. You need someone who does both — and ships in weeks.
What we do
We pick the smallest project that gets you a measurable win, then build outward from there.
Agents and workflows that take repeatable work off your team — lead qualification, reporting, content ops, support triage.
CRM, lifecycle, paid media instrumentation and attribution. The plumbing that makes growth measurable.
Custom LLM applications, RAG pipelines, agent orchestration, evals. Production-grade, not prototype theatre.
So the tools we ship actually get used. Drawn from years of sales-leadership coaching IP.
How we work
A 90-minute working session plus a one-week diagnostic. We map your workflows, find the highest-ROI automation candidates, and put numbers on the prize.
Deliverable: a prioritised automation roadmap with effort, cost and impact.
A packaged 4–6 week sprint to ship the first automation end-to-end. We design, build, integrate and instrument. You watch the metric move.
Deliverable: a working system in production, with monitoring and handover.
Optional monthly partnership — we keep your systems healthy, add new automations as you grow, and coach your team to use them.
Deliverable: compounding leverage instead of one-off projects.

Who we are
I'm Jono. By day I lead AI and marketing at SalesStar — a global sales-coaching firm where I build the AI products and growth systems used across our practices in NZ, AU, the UK and the US.
AlphaBean is where I bring that work — AI engineering, marketing systems, automation, and the sales-leadership coaching IP that makes them stick — to a small number of other growth-hungry businesses each year.
