The version of AI HR assistant that works for a Tacoma business is rarely the version a national vendor would sell you. We build the one that fits how your team actually operates - usually with fewer parts than the off-the-shelf pitch.
AI HR and people ops, built for businesses operating in Tacoma.
Our goal is to give Tacoma businesses a three-day weekend, so people can spend more time with their families and the people they love :)

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 HR assistant 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 Tacoma 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 HR assistant 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 |
Where Tacoma operators actually lose hours.
- Tacoma runs on port logistics, manufacturing and military, a genuinely industrial counterpart to Seattle up the freeway - AI here means operational reliability over polish.
- One of the busiest container ports on the West Coast, a major military presence at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, and a manufacturing base that never left. Tacoma businesses want AI that works the same way every shift, not a flashy demo.
We work with teams across Tacoma: Downtown Tacoma · Point Ruston · Hilltop · Proctor District · Lakewood · Puyallup.

How we build AI HR assistant for a Tacoma team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Tacoma business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI HR and people ops.
Talk to usHow the work runs
- Find the one workflowWe look for the job costing Tacoma 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 Tacoma teams
The shape of the result for Tacoma teams: HR enquiries drop 65% in the first month - leaders get their week back. Built on Claude, hardened with the rest of the stack as it scales.
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
When does AI HR assistant actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a Tacoma - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call - fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
Has this actually shipped for a real Tacoma?
Yes. HR enquiries drop 65% in the first month - leaders get their week back. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI HR assistant can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude, Employment Hero API, BambooHR, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
Worth a conversation?
Even if you don't end up working with us, you'll leave the call knowing what's worth building.
