Relion · AI consulting

You've seen AI that went nowhere. This is the opposite.

Nearly two decades in small-business IT taught us one thing: real automation beats AI magic every time. Every engagement starts with one number, the labor it saves you. For every dollar we save you, we earn ten cents.

These automations run our company.

Built to save labor and sanity.

Inbox to zeroCustomized email triage that gets smarter every time you talk to it. An hour of email each morning, down to five minutes.
Quote to paidVendor invoice in → customer estimate out → customer PO in → customer invoice out → Bill.com collection in. All automated, what a relief!
Margin leaks, pluggedEvery vendor purchase cross-checked against customer invoices weekly. Forgotten purchase flagged before it becomes a write-off.
Books that keep themselvesYou've seen QuickBooks auto-categorize charges, but watch us automate reconciliations and journal entries.

Built in n8n, with a sprinkling of AI. The best automations are predictable and repeatable, not a slot machine that gives you different results every time.

The math is the whole pitch

The savings are real. We only take on automations that put a real dent in what you're already spending.

OpenAI just gave AI the delete key. I'm here for it.
ChatGPT Work can actually delete your email. Claude Cowork won't. Why the gloves coming off is good news for anyone who wants AI actually cleaning their inbox.
We're rewriting our email client in the open
lookout works great. So naturally, we're going to rewrite most of it. Here's why that decision makes sense, and what it teaches about building software in the AI era.
I gave up Outlook cold turkey. Then I vibe coded my own email client in an afternoon.
Checking email through Claude was too slow, but AI turned out to be an amazing junk filter. So I built a terminal email client that gives me the best of both worlds.
