Two partners in Dallas · No hand-offs
Paul runs the engagement.
Drate builds the agent.
Two named partners stay with you from the 45-minute audit through the build and the Day 28 review.
Who we are
Berry Buckley builds AI workflow agents for owner-led service businesses in Dallas–Fort Worth. We start with the one job that still lands on you after hours: answering new inquiries, chasing unpaid invoices, or sending the reply that never got out.
The agent runs on the tools you already use, like QuickBooks, HubSpot, Google Workspace, Square, and your current website. We don't rip anything out. Every agent ships with an owner playbook covering what it can do on its own, what needs your approval, and what it must never do. Most firms start with a First Agent Sprint: one agent, one workflow, three to four weeks from audit to working agent.
What you can count on
4× more leads, 800% more traffic
Drate's work has helped clients generate four times more leads year-over-year and increase web traffic by over 800%.
Two partners, no hand-offs
Paul runs the engagement. Drate builds the agent. We run two sprints at a time, so if we're full, you get a start date, not a vague yes.
Fixed scope, fixed fee
The audit is free. A First Agent Sprint takes three to four weeks, starts at $7,500, and is quoted after your audit.
You own the agent
It's built on your accounts and your tools, with the guardrails in writing before anything runs.
