AI Ops Setup Guide

Everything I know about building a personal AI operating system — from scratch. Agent setup, memory architecture, cron automation, Telegram integration, and deploying your own site. Written from "here's exactly what I did."

Workflow Automation

+

Map high-friction processes and automate the repeatable 80%.

We audit your current workflows — email, client onboarding, data entry, reporting — and identify which steps are mechanical enough to automate reliably. Then we build and test the automation before handing it off.
  • Process mapping and friction analysis
  • Cron-based scheduled automation
  • Human-in-the-loop approval flows for anything client-facing
  • Verification standards so you know when something fails

AI Agent Design

+

Build agent systems with guardrails, task routing, and verification.

Most agent failures are architecture failures — not model failures. We design agent systems that stay reliable in production: clear identity layers, explicit automation tiers, skill-based task routing, and artifact-based verification.
  • Identity and operating rules configuration
  • Tool access and permission scoping
  • Sub-agent coordination patterns
  • Memory architecture for persistent context

Implementation Sprints

+

Rapid pilot-to-production cycles with clear outcomes and ownership.

We move fast. A typical engagement takes one workflow from idea to verified production deployment in two to three weeks. You leave with a running system, documentation, and the knowledge to extend it.
  • Scoped to one workflow per sprint
  • Live testing against real inputs before handoff
  • SOPs and runbooks included
  • Follow-on sprints available for additional workflows

Operational Readiness

+

Documented SOPs, handoff playbooks, and scalable deployment patterns.

AI systems that aren't documented are systems only one person understands. We build the operational layer around every deployment — so your team can run, troubleshoot, and extend the system without us.
  • Standard operating procedures for every automated workflow
  • Failure runbooks — what to do when something breaks
  • Monitoring and alerting setup
  • Team onboarding for system handoff

What operators say after working with us.

"Working with Deacon at Ridley Research & Consulting has been a game-changer for my business. He set me up with AI automation that has completely transformed how I operate. For the first time, I feel like my entire business is truly organized. I'm catching issues I never even knew I had and acting on them nearly instantly. Everything is running smoother than ever, and I finally feel like I have a real edge over the competition. If you're looking for someone who can actually deliver results with AI, Deacon is the guy."
