The workshop, $497 early bird
One Saturday afternoon, hands-on. You watch an AI receptionist work, build your own with help in the room, and call it live before you leave.
River Valley
AI workshops and automation in Fort Smith.
Arkansas Automated runs in-person AI workshops and done-for-you automation builds for Fort Smith business owners. Learn to run an AI front desk yourself in one Saturday afternoon, or have us build and manage it for you. Our home base.
The Fort Smith version of the problem.
Manufacturing, logistics on the Arkansas and Oklahoma line, two hospital systems, and a deep bench of HVAC, plumbing, roofing, and electrical shops serving the whole River Valley.
Fort Smith runs on shops that answer the phone between jobs. A roofer on a ladder in Chaffee Crossing or a plumber under a house in Fianna Hills cannot pick up, and the caller does not wait. They dial the next name in the list.
This is where we host the public workshops, and where we built the intake and follow-up systems behind Fort Smith Directory. If you want to see the work before you buy it, everything we install for clients is running here first.

Questions Fort Smith owners ask.
Do you run workshops in Fort Smith?
Public workshops run here on Saturday afternoons, 1 to 5 PM, capped at 18 owners. The room address goes out with your seat confirmation.
I am not technical. Is this for me?
Yes. The workshop is built for owners, not engineers. Everything is no-code, we build step by step together, and the room is capped at 18 so nobody gets left behind. If you can run a smartphone, you can do this.
What if I would rather not sit through a workshop?
That is exactly what the done-for-you work is for. Start with the free 15-minute assessment call, and if the ROI is there we build and manage everything, including on-site work under the retainer.
What does it cost after the workshop?
Nothing is required. If you want us to run it, the AI front desk is $2,500 setup plus $497 a month. Larger workflow builds run $1,500 to $5,000 setup. Your seat price credits toward any build started within 60 days.
