The AI subscriptions you bought aren't changing your business.

We build custom AI agents that actually run your operations — for mid-market businesses drowning in work that should be automated.

See how it works

You're paying for it right now.

Your team keeps doing the work by hand.

Your best operators spend their weeks on tasks a good agent could finish by the end of the day.

Your best ideas stay on the “we'll get to it” list.

The cost compounds in payroll ($0), in lost ground (0 days), in things that didn't ship (0).

What you actually get.

Win back the hours your team is losing.

Custom AI agents take on the manual work — credentialing, reconciliation, reporting, triage, whatever eats the week.

Run your AI from one command center.

Every agent, every workflow, every result, in one branded dashboard. Watch it, tune it, interact with it.

Break free from recurring software fees.

Optional: we rebuild some of the SaaS you’re renting monthly — once, inside your command center, yours to keep.

AI experts who stay on your team.

Access to real people who built your system — there to field your team’s questions, tune as your business changes, and bring new AI capabilities as the space evolves.

You're not the only one.

Everyone is trying to figure out AI right now. Most operators did what you did — bought subscriptions, encouraged the team to use them, waited for the results.

You're still waiting.

Ethan Sefchik — Founder, Pittsburgh

Time Machine Automation was founded by Ethan Sefchik, a Pittsburgh-based founder and operator who built AI systems inside his own startup first. They paid dividends within months. Every mid-market operator he talked to was hitting the same wall — expensive AI subscriptions, no real change in the business. TMA exists to build what those subscriptions can't.

From first call to a system that ships.

Tell us about your business.

Discovery calls with you and your team. Where AI belongs, where it doesn't.

Review the plan. Greenlight it.

An approach we design together — you shape it until you're ready to sign off.

Your custom system ships.

Agents, command center, integrations — purpose-built. No two clients get the same system.

You gain an AI team.

Ongoing tuning. New capabilities as the space evolves. Access to real people, not a portal.

You see the potential.

You know AI is going to change how businesses operate. You just don't have a clear picture of what that looks like inside your business yet. That's the work we do: painting that picture with you, then shipping it.

Your business runs on manual processes and software. Your team operates multiple tools by hand: sales tools, email, spreadsheets, project management, etc. Custom AI agents can automate a lot of that work and connect what's currently disconnected. An enterprise AI subscription won't. Someone has to sit with your business and build those agents.

There's another thing going on. Some of the software you're paying for monthly could be built in-house. Until recently, that wasn't realistic — buying always cost less than building. Now it's flipped. The cost of building a custom system for your specific workflows has fallen below the cost of renting a generic one. The businesses that act on this first will own what they used to rent.

The big AI vendors aren't going to do this work for businesses your size. Their teams go where the enterprise deals are. Mid-market operators get pointed at self-serve tutorials and told good luck. That gap — where the tools exist but nobody's setting them up for your specific business — is where TMA lives.

The shift is happening right now. Operators who move early won't be the ones falling behind.

Your AI, all in one place.

This dashboard isn't a template. We build the features your business actually needs — document retrieval, live maps, human-in-the-loop approvals, scheduled runs, whatever the work calls for. Discovery calls tell us what goes in.

You don't have to live in it.

Your team can run agents from the tools they already use. The dashboard stays yours for oversight, management, and audit — whether anyone else opens it or not.

Common accompanying features:

Full audit log.

Every action and tool call, visible and traceable.

Isolated by design.

Each agent runs in its own sandbox. Your data stays where it belongs.

Message from Slack, Teams, or WhatsApp.

Your team uses what they already use.

Integrated with what you own.

Airtable, your CRM, your calendar, your documents, your internal tools. No rip-and-replace.

Triggered on schedules and events.

Morning briefings, expiration alerts, reconciliation runs — agents fire when the work needs doing.

Human-in-the-loop approvals.

For anything that matters, a person reviews before the agent acts.

Scoped to the work. Transparent about the model.

Every engagement has two parts: an upfront project fee that covers discovery, design, build, and delivery — and a monthly retainer after launch that covers ongoing tuning, new capabilities, and access to your AI team.

No hidden fees. No long-term contract. Cancel the retainer anytime.

We'll talk about them on the intro call, not after you've filled out a form.
