The reason we take on work in Chicago is that the businesses here tend to be sharper about what they want than the brief lets on. AI lead qualification for a Chicago team almost always ends up looking different to AI lead qualification for a downtown Auckland one.
AI lead qualification that lives in your stack, not on a vendor's roadmap. Shipped from Illinois.
Our goal is to give Chicago businesses a three-day weekend, so people can spend more time with their families and the people they love :)
What AI lead qualification actually does
Every form-fill, every missed call, every Instagram DM - scored, enriched, and routed within minutes. Your team only sees leads that match your ideal customer.
- 01 Auto-enriches with NZBN, company size, and history
- 02 Scores using your past won/lost deals as training data
- 03 Hot leads get SMS-routed to the right rep instantly
- 04 Cold leads enter nurture, not the bin
Built on: Claude HubSpot NZBN API Twilio Vercel

What you actually get
Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. This is what is in the box.
- A working pilot, in productionNot a prototype on someone's laptop. The first slice of AI lead qualification runs against real work within weeks.
- Your data stays yoursIt runs on your accounts and your tools. If we part ways you keep the system and everything in it.
- The workflow mapped before codeWe write down what good looks like for Chicago businesses first, so nobody is guessing at handover.
- Support after it landsThe people who built it stay reachable when the business changes shape around it.
How AI lead qualification compares
The two things most businesses do instead, and where each one runs out.
| Hiring for it | An off-the-shelf tool | Kiwi Dynamics | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fit to how you work | Fits perfectly, costs a salary | You bend your process to suit the tool | Built around the workflow you already run |
| Time to something useful | Immediate, and permanent | Quick to switch on, slow to make fit | A working slice in weeks, then hardened |
| Who owns the data | You do | The vendor, on the vendor's terms | You do, in your own accounts |
| When it breaks | That person sorts it, if they are in | A support queue and a ticket number | The people who built it |
| What it costs | A salary, every year, forever | Per seat, forever, used or not | Scoped and quoted up front |
What Chicago teams tell us when they get on a call.
- Chicago runs on logistics, manufacturing, finance and a genuinely diverse industrial base - AI here means fitting into operations that were already running lean before AI existed.
- A major freight and logistics hub, a deep manufacturing base, and a futures and options trading industry with zero patience for anything slow. Chicago businesses want AI that respects an operation that already runs tight.
We work with teams across Chicago: The Loop · River North · Wicker Park · Lincoln Park · Evanston · Naperville.

How we build AI lead qualification for a Chicago team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Chicago business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI scores your leads.
Talk to usHow the work runs
- Find the one workflowWe look for the job costing Chicago businesses the most hours or the most leads, and deliberately ignore the rest for now.
- Ship a working sliceA narrow version goes into production in weeks, against real work, so the value shows up before the build is finished.
- Prove it, then widenWe measure it against what the work cost before. If it does not pay for itself, we say so rather than scaling it.
- Harden and hand overLogging, fallbacks and a real handover, so it keeps running when we are not in the room.
The outcome for Chicago teams
Sales reps spend 70% less time on dead-end conversations. For Chicago teams, that almost always shows up as fewer interruptions and a calmer week, not a dashboard chart.
Not your typical AI agency.
Honest about what AI can and cannot do
Ships the one workflow that pays for itself
Hours given back, never the size of the invoice

FAQ
What's the realistic timeline for AI lead qualification with a Chicago?
Most Chicago businesses have their first usable slice in week 5 or 6. We'd rather ship narrow and real than broad and aspirational - your team gets to use the thing well before the engagement is "done".
What does AI lead qualification cost for a Chicago?
Pilots start from a fixed scope priced to land a measurable result inside 6 weeks. Pricing depends on data volume, integration complexity, and whether you need us on managed services afterwards. We'll quote precisely after a 30-minute scoping call.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes - on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Sales reps spend 70% less time on dead-end conversations.
What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?
AI lead qualification is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. Claude, HubSpot, NZBN API, Twilio, Vercel are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.
