Real systems for businesses tired of manual work. No slide decks, no frameworks — just working solutions.
AI & Automation Consulting
Services
What We Do
Three services. Most clients go through all three — in order. Each one builds on the last.
Operations Consulting
Before touching any technology, we look at how your operations actually run — where work piles up, where handoffs break down, where time gets wasted. Most clients start here.
AI Implementation
AI tools are only useful if they're integrated into how your business actually works. We connect the right tools to the right processes and make sure your team uses them — not just has access to them.
AI Automation
We build automations that take the repetitive, manual work out of your operations — and make it happen without anyone touching it. If your team is doing the same thing over and over, that's a system problem.
Our Work
What We Build
Agentic AI Assistant
A fully autonomous AI assistant that operates across iMessage, Telegram, and email — managing tasks, drafting content, monitoring systems, and taking action without being asked twice.
AI Voice Customer Service Agent
An AI voice agent that answers calls, books appointments, handles support questions, and routes complex inquiries — 24/7, without anyone picking up the phone.
AI Chatbot
A custom AI chatbot that answers visitor questions, qualifies leads, and drives conversions — embedded directly on your website, 24/7.
About
About DEGRAND.AI
Kim DeGregory founded DEGRAND.AI after spending over a decade in logistics and operations — managing freight, fixing workflows, and figuring out why things weren't moving as fast as they should. Operations teaches you how to find the real problem, not the surface one. That's still how we think.
A few years ago, we started building with AI — not just using it, actually building with it. Automations, integrations, full applications. The more we built, the clearer it became that most businesses weren't slow because of their people. They were slow because their processes hadn't caught up to what's possible now.
Who We Work With
If your business runs on people doing work that a system could handle, we can help. Solo operator, growing team, or established company — the problems are usually the same. Missed calls. Manual follow-ups. Processes that work but cost more time than they should.
Here's how it goes: we start by mapping what's actually slowing you down — not just the symptoms, but where the time and leads are really going. Then we build. Voice agents, automations, integrations — whatever solves the actual problem.
The result isn't just a working tool. It's hours back every week, leads that don't fall through the cracks, and a business that runs closer to how you always wanted it to.
We're not here to sell you a tool and walk away. We're here to change how your business operates. If you're ready for that, we'll figure out the rest together.
