01
AI Workflow Automation
End-to-end automations across the tools you already use, with model judgment where rules alone are not enough.
Services
AI services for startups and small teams.
Databotiq is an AI-first build studio. These practices cover how startups and small to mid-sized teams actually adopt AI in 2026: workflow automation, custom and voice agents, agentic knowledge assistants, document processing, and structuring messy data. Each page is written for both business owners and technical evaluators.
- Each pillar is the canonical entity definition for that practice.
- Implementation, not advice. Strategy without shipping is not the model.
- Single Rapid POC entry per pillar so proof comes before scope.

Practices
Practices we ship, all behind one delivery model.
02
Custom AI Agents
Agents that take real actions in your tools, with memory, fallbacks, and a human in the loop where it matters.
03
NewVoice AI Agents
AI voice agents for inbound calls, qualification, scheduling, and callbacks. Real-time, interruptible, and tied to your CRM.
04
Agentic Knowledge Assistants
Internal and customer-facing assistants that actually look things up, double-check themselves, and cite sources.
05
Intelligent Document Processing
Your invoices, receipts, contracts, and claim forms read and routed automatically, with confidence scoring and human review on the close calls.
06
Unstructured Data Pipelines
Your messy data, made useful. PDFs, email threads, voice notes, photos, and spreadsheets turned into structured records your tools can use.
How to pick
Navigate by outcome, not by buzzword.
Start where the pain is clearest and the measurement is honest. If the right pillar is not obvious, pick the highest-frequency queue your team is stuck in and we will map it to the right practice on a short scoping call.
Documents are the pain
Start with intelligent document processing. Classify, extract, validate, and route invoices, contracts, and forms at volume.
Open the practiceCross-system execution is the pain
Start with workflow automation. Explicit states, retries, and policy gates across your CRM, inbox, Slack, and your internal tools.
Open the practiceKnowledge is not reachable
Start with an agentic knowledge assistant. Grounded answers with citations, query rewriting, and access control.
Open the practiceHow we work
One delivery model across every pillar.
Every practice runs through the same methodology. Rapid POC first, then production architecture, build, and ongoing improvement.
01
Rapid POC (14 days)
Fixed scope, fixed price. We build a working version on a slice of your real data. You get outputs you can show internally, plus an honest go or no-go recommendation.
02
Architect with you
We design the production version with your team. Systems involved, risks, the small set of metrics that define success, and what we will hand over at the end.
03
Build and integrate
Weekly demos, integrations as deliverables, and a human review queue until the metrics stabilise. No big-bang launch, no surprises on go-live day.
04
Operate and improve
Monitoring, evaluation loops, and quarterly reviews so the model, retrieval, and policies keep pace with your real traffic and your real customers.
Combinations
Most production programs span more than one pillar.
We still recommend proving one spine in a Rapid POC before funding the full combinatorial build.
IDP + Workflow
Invoices and receipts arrive, get extracted and validated, and route straight into your accounting tool with a human review queue on the close calls.
Knowledge assistant + Agents
An internal copilot answers questions with citations, then takes small bounded actions inside policy. For example creating a ticket, updating a record, or sending a templated reply.
Unstructured + Agents
Messy email and attachments become structured records, then an agent enriches your CRM and downstream tools with explicit, audited write permissions.
FAQ
How buyers and operators evaluate the practices.
Where to start, how programs span pillars, and what the entry engagement looks like. If something isn't covered here,ask us directly.
How do we choose the right pillar to start?
Start where the pain is clearest and the measurement is honest. Usually that is a workflow with painful manual hours, or a document family with high exception cost. If you are unsure, pick the highest-frequency queue your team is stuck in and we will map it to the right practice on a scoping call.
Do you implement or only advise?
We implement. Strategy without shipping is not our model.
Can programs span multiple pillars?
Yes. Many production systems combine IDP with workflow automation, or a knowledge assistant with agents. We still recommend proving one spine in a Rapid POC before funding the full combinatorial build.
What is the entry engagement?
Most teams start with a Rapid POC on a bounded slice of real data. Fixed scope, fixed price, delivered in about 14 days.
Do you do strategy without implementation?
No, by design. Strategy without shipping leaves the hard problems untouched. If you need pure advisory we can refer you to partners who specialise in it. Otherwise we engage as the team that builds the thing.

We run a sandboxed Rapid POC so you can evaluate outputs, integrations, and risk before you fund production.
