Workflow
Internal workflows that run themselves.
Sales, ops, and finance pipes connected end-to-end. The work data does between your tools without humans copy-pasting between tabs.
- Lead and CRM automation
- Billing and reconciliation
Automation studio for founders
You don't need
more headcount.
You need leverage.
Smuz builds the automation layer that lets pre-seed and seed founders operate like a team of ten. Systems that compound while you sleep — not consultants who invoice while you wait.
How it works
From raw materials to a system
that runs without you.
Three phases. Six weeks end-to-end. Fixed price, no retainers.
01
Audit
We start with the mess. A week of mapping every workflow, tool, and handoff in your business until the bottlenecks are obvious.
02
Build
We design and ship the smallest system that fixes the biggest constraint. Two-to-four week cycles, weekly demos, no agency theatre.
03
Handover
You get production systems, the docs, the runbooks, and the keys. Everything we built runs on your stack — no vendor lock-in.
Previous work
A few things we've quietly
taken off founders' plates.
Anonymized at the request of the founders involved. We'll talk through the specifics on a call.
01
Replaced a recurring multi-hour weekly operations task with a system that runs itself, end-to-end.
02
Moved a small team off spreadsheet-driven ops onto a real data layer they could actually trust.
03
Cut a layer of manual back-and-forth out of the customer workflow entirely — the work stopped touching humans.
More detail available under NDA on request.
What we build
Three surfaces.
Pick the one that's bleeding.
We stay narrow on purpose. These are the three areas where founders bleed the most time at pre-seed and seed.
Agents
LLM agents that do real work.
Not chatbots. Production agents that read, decide, draft, and escalate to a human only when judgment is required.
- Inbox and support triage
- Research and outreach
Data
One source of truth your team trusts.
Your tools, connected to a warehouse you own, surfaced through the few dashboards that actually move the needle.
- Warehouse + ETL
- Product + revenue dashboards
Pricing
Simple pricing.
Pay once, own it forever.

FAQ
The questions founders ask before we get on a call.
Fixed-price sprints, scoped against a single bottleneck. You see the scope, the deliverables, and the price in writing before any work starts. No hourly billing, no retainers, no surprise scope changes. We share the exact number on the first call once we understand the problem.
