AI workflow automation
services that ship to
production

AI workflow automation services are builds where a model makes one judgment call inside a workflow — read, classify, extract, draft, score or route — between a trigger and an action in your CRM, inbox or n8n. em8 is a founder-led studio run by Emil Hjorth. We scope the path on a 30-minute call, build it on your stack with a human review step for low-confidence cases, and hand over credentials, prompts and logs you own.

What the AI step actually does.

Plate 02 · One judgment, then an action
01 · Classify / route

Read what arrived. Send it somewhere.

Emails, tickets and forms get a label and a destination. Low confidence goes to a person, not a silent guess.

02 · Extract

Pull fields out of messy documents.

Invoices, contracts and PDFs become structured fields. A person reviews the draft before it posts.

03 · Draft

Write the first version. Not the send.

Replies, outreach and summaries in the voice you specify. A person still owns anything a customer will see.

04 · Score / decide

Make the call the workflow is waiting on.

Lead fit, priority, match or no-match. The output is a score plus a reason, written to the log.

OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini — picked per task and tested on your data.

This page is the hire for that judgment step: prompts, a JSON schema, a human on low-confidence cases, and logs. The runtime hire — self-hosted or cloud n8n, built and handed over — is n8n automation. What an AI automation agency is, as a definition, is a different page. What it costs is in the automation agency pricing guide. How the pattern works before you hire anyone is how AI workflow automation works.

Need the model to choose its own steps? That's AI agent development.

How hiring us works.

Plate 03 · Discovery → build → handoff
  1. 01 · Discovery

    30 minutes. No pitch.

    Bring the path where a person makes the same judgment all day. We map the trigger, the decision and the action, and say fit or not-fit. You leave with a plan either way.

  2. 02 · Build

    Prompt, schema, review, logs.

    We write the prompt, lock the output to a JSON schema, send low-confidence cases to a person, and log every run. It lands in your CRM, inbox, n8n, Make or Zapier — on your stack.

  3. 03 · Handoff

    You own it.

    Credentials, prompts, schema and logs stay with you. We’re fractional when you want us in Slack — never a black-box vendor you can’t leave.

Hire FAQ.

Plate 04 · Reference
What are AI workflow automation services?
em8 designs and ships workflows where a model handles one judgment step — classify, extract, draft, score or route — between a trigger and an action in your tools. Low-confidence cases go to a person. You own credentials, code and runtime.
How is this different from your n8n automation service?
n8n automation is the runtime hire: self-hosted or cloud n8n, built and handed over. AI workflow automation is the judgment step inside the flow — prompts, schemas, review rules and logs — on n8n, Make, Zapier or code. Most builds use both.
What does it cost?
Fixed scope, quoted after the discovery call. Our automation agency pricing guide publishes the bands: Most businesses pay between $5,000-15,000 for their first automation project.
How fast can you ship?
Discovery is 30 minutes. Same-day proposal when it’s a fit. Case 01 went from kickoff to production in 3 weeks.
What proof do you have?
Case 01: an $18M B2B sales team, Salesforce, SalesLoft and Claude on their own n8n. Cadence and proposal automation in production in 3 weeks; 60 seconds per cadence and 9.7/10 quality (LLM-judged, 20 runs) from production logs. The 175 hours a week is a published model of rep time redirected, not payroll removed.
Who is this for?
Mid-market B2B with a real sales or ops team ($1M–$50M ARR is typical). Not a fit for a one-off ticket or if you want a chatbot in a tab.

Book a 30-min call.
Leave with a plan.

Free. No pitch. Tell us the one judgment your team repeats all week. We’ll say fit or not-fit and outline the build.
