Done-for-You AI Agents for Small Business

Done-for-you AI agents means someone else builds the agent, connects it to your tools, runs it and fixes it when it goes wrong. You describe the job and approve anything sensitive. It is for small business owners who want the work done, not a new tool to learn.

At Dooza, an engineer scopes your job on a free 30-minute call. We build the agent into the tools you already use, check its work and improve it every month. If you only need written admin help, Dooza Managed is $200 a month with the first 7 days free.

Done-for-you vs DIY (n8n, Make, Zapier, Lindy)

DIY tools are good and often cheap. The catch is that you, or someone you pay, has to build and maintain every workflow. Here is how the options compare. Tool prices are the entry paid plans shown on each vendor’s pricing page.

Two things to note. First, a DIY tool’s price is only the software. Your hours to build and fix workflows are extra. Second, with done for you, someone else does that work.

What we build

These are the jobs Dooza already takes on. If a job repeats every week, bring it to the call. See 25 real AI agent examples for small business for more ideas.

  1. Call answering. The Dooza AI answering service picks up when you can’t. It takes the caller’s message and emails it to you with the transcript and a recording link. It costs $149 a month for up to 500 minutes, then $0.30 a minute. It does not book onto calendars or send texts.
  2. Lead follow-up. Replies to new leads and keeps following up until they book or say no.
  3. Inbox and admin. Sorts your email and drafts replies. For written admin work (email drafts, documents and forms, spreadsheets, research), Dooza Managed has AI do the task and a real person check it. Tasks come back by the next business day.
  4. Scheduling. Books meetings on your calendar as part of an inbox agent.
  5. Customer support. Answers customer questions by email and chat from your own docs. It drafts the rest for you to review.
  6. Reporting. Keeps your CRM and spreadsheets up to date and sends you a short daily summary.

We also chase unpaid invoices with polite reminders, and reply to reviews and post on social accounts on a schedule.

How it works

  1. Call. You explain the work that eats your week on a free 30-minute call. A Dooza engineer scopes it with you and quotes your price.
  2. Build. We build the agent into your tools: email, phone, CRM, calendar, spreadsheets. We connect your apps for you (Dooza works with 1,000+ app integrations).
  3. Run. The agent does the job every day. It is live in days, usually within the first week of your pilot.
  4. Improve. We read its work, fix mistakes and teach it new tasks as your business changes. You never maintain anything.
  5. Human checks. Anything sensitive waits for your OK. On Dooza Managed, a real person checks every task before it goes back to you.

What it costs

How much does an AI agent cost? It depends on who builds and runs it.

  • Dooza Managed (admin assistant): $200 a month. $0 today, and $200 after 7 days only if you don’t cancel first. See pricing.
  • Dooza AI answering service: $149 a month for up to 500 minutes, then $0.30 a minute. Month to month, with a full refund if you cancel within 14 days of the first charge.
  • Custom AI agents: priced by the job. A Dooza engineer quotes it on a free 30-minute call. Every custom build starts as a paid pilot with a 100% refund within 14 days.
  • DIY tools: from free to about $30 a month for the entry paid plans in the table above, plus your own time to build and maintain the workflows.

We did not find a public, citable price list for agency or freelancer AI agent builds, so we don’t quote one here. Ask any agency what is included after launch: monitoring, fixes and new tasks are often extra.

When DIY is the better choice

Done for you is not right for everyone. DIY is the better pick when:

  • You or your team like building workflows. n8n, Make and Zapier are made for this, and the entry plans cost less than a done-for-you service.
  • The job is one simple trigger. “New form entry, add a row to a sheet” takes minutes on Zapier’s or Make’s free plan. You don’t need us for that.
  • You want full control of the code and data. Self-hosted n8n runs on your own server.
  • Your budget is near zero. All four tools have a free option.

Done for you makes more sense when the job touches customers, has many steps, or needs someone to notice when it goes wrong. It also makes sense when nobody on your team has time to build and fix workflows. For a wider view of the options, read our guide to hiring an AI employee for a small business.
