AI employees for operational and back-office work

Code Quarry builds AI employees.

If I could give you additional employees without adding to your payroll, what would you have them do?

Your systems keep the information. Your AI employees carry the work. Your people get their attention back.

Where Code Quarry fits

The work between your systems is stealing the day.

Your systems may already be excellent. They hold the information and perform their specialized functions. But people are still reading, checking, entering, coordinating, and following up before, after, and between them.

The work between your systems

This is where the day goes.

Every email, document, comparison, update, and follow-up competes with the work that actually needs your people.

  • Existing systems hold the information.
  • AI employees do the work.
  • People provide judgment and relationships.

What changes

A better business feels different.

The benefit is not more technology. It is what your people and your business can do when routine work stops consuming the day.

  1. A capable team working together with room to take on more
    Capacity without automatic headcount
    01

    Save operational cost

    Reduce unnecessary manual labor and operating cost. Add capacity without automatically adding payroll, so the business can grow without adding back-office headcount at the same rate.

  2. Two colleagues having a thoughtful conversation at work
    More of the work people are best at
    02

    Give valuable people their time back

    Give teams hundreds or thousands of hours back each year so good people can focus on customers, judgment, growth, relationships, and higher-value work.

  3. Colleagues reviewing an important decision together
    Nothing important quietly slips by
    03

    Catch revenue slipping through the cracks

    Continuously monitor follow-up, changes, delays, exceptions, collections, renewals, bids, quotes, and opportunities. Act quickly or alert the right person before money is missed.

The economic story

Do the math.

Who, times minutes, times frequency. Put in one process your people run by hand and see what it costs today.

Live example — select any number to take control
$
Hours a year
2,000
What that costs at your rate
$76,000
each year

3 people × 20 minutes × 40 times a week × 50 weeks, at $38 an hour. This is your number, from your inputs. It is the cost of the work as it runs today, not a prediction.

Market context: A fully burdened back-office employee often costs near $80,000 a year in service businesses.

The capacity question

What if volume doubles?

Before you add another person or automatically backfill an open role, look at the work. An AI employee may be able to absorb enough of it that your current team can handle more without adding the same payroll cost.

1x2x

Manual back office

4people

When the work is manual, every step of volume adds a step of headcount. At 1x, the same process needs about 4 people.

With AI employees

1person

The AI employees take the added volume. A person still handles judgment, approvals, relationships, and the exceptions that need one.

What happens to this process if your volume doubles?

If doubling volume requires doubling the back office, the business has an operational leverage problem.

The human advantage

People show up where they matter most.

AI employees handle the repeatable work inside your guardrails. Your people keep the judgment calls, approvals, relationships, and moments that deserve a human being.

How we work

Three phases, from first look to a running AI employee.

  1. 1We prove what is worth doing together.
  2. 2We build it with you.
  3. 3We operate and improve it for you.

Nobody is asked to buy a proposal for work they have not seen quantified, and nobody is left running the AI on their own after launch.

  1. 1

    Prove what is worth doing

    Feasibility and business case

    We come in and watch how the work actually happens. Together, we identify what an AI employee can realistically take over, where a person still needs to be involved, and what the opportunity is worth.

    1. Step 1Watch the work

      See how the process actually happens. The people closest to the work share their screens and walk through the real systems, handoffs, documents, decisions, exceptions, and workarounds.

      You getA clear picture of where people are carrying work around and between the systems you already have.

    2. Step 2Find the work

      Identify the costly operational work that AI employees and automation can take over.

      You getA short list of the work worth taking off your people, in your own vocabulary.

    3. Step 3Do the math

      Quantify the current state: who, times minutes, times frequency. Also delays, error risk, capacity limits, missed revenue, cash trapped, and what happens when nobody catches an exception.

      You getThe cost of the work as it runs now, in numbers you can check against your own operation.

    Before we recommend a build, we confirm the work is technically and operationally feasible, and we put a number on the cost, time, capacity, or revenue opportunity.

  2. 2

    We build it with you

    Collaborative build

    Code Quarry owns the design and build, while working closely with your team to make sure the AI employees fit your operation. Your people help define the rules, exceptions, approvals, and human boundaries. We test the work together before launch.

    1. Step 4Build the employee

      Design what the AI employee will understand, decide, do, communicate, monitor, and escalate. Keep deterministic rules deterministic. Keep people responsible for judgment, approval, relationships, and high-risk exceptions. Then build it around the systems already in place.

      You getWorking AI employees, integrated with your existing tools and tested against criteria you agreed to up front.

    Code Quarry

    • Design and build the AI employees
    • Handle the technical work, integrations, and testing
    • Fit the result to how the business actually operates

    Your team

    • Share how the work really happens
    • Define the rules, exceptions, and approvals
    • Decide where a person stays involved

    We operate and improve it for you

    Managed AI partnership

    After launch, Code Quarry stays responsible for watching, validating, improving, and proving the performance of your AI employees. You stay focused on the business. We make sure the AI employees keep doing the job they were built to do.

    Continuous monitoring, weekly validation, tested changes, monthly improvement, and a written report that proves the value.

    See what the managed partnership includes

The managed AI partnership

You are in good hands after launch.

Code Quarry stays responsible after launch, so managing the AI does not become another job for your team.

Once your AI employees go live, you should not have to wonder whether they are still working the way they should. Code Quarry continuously watches performance, validates real work every week, tests changes before they reach production, and improves the system each month. You stay focused on the business. We stay responsible for the AI employees.

Software, models, business rules, documents, and real-world inputs change over time. That is exactly why the partnership exists. Our operating process catches changes early, corrects them, and keeps performance within the agreed expectations before they quietly become your problem.

Hover or select each commitment to see it in practice.

  1. We monitor availability, errors, integrations, exceptions, performance, security signals, and operating cost, so anything unusual is seen by us first.

  2. Every week we audit samples of real work, confirm the output is right and the tasks are complete, look into exceptions, and adjust workflows, prompts, rules, or data before small drifts become visible to your customers.

  3. Model, software, rule, and integration changes are tested before they reach production, versioned, and kept reversible, so an update never surprises your team.

  4. We use what we learn in production and reserved monthly capacity to improve quality, performance, cost, usability, and controls, or to take on the next highest-value part of the workflow.

  5. Every month you get it in writing: what the AI employees did, the value they created, what exceptions came up, what we handled, and what we recommend next.

If nothing needs fixing, Code Quarry does not sit idle. That month's capacity goes toward testing, optimization, cost reduction, documentation, security review, roadmap analysis, and visible improvement.

You are not paying us for repair hours. You are paying us to make the performance of your AI employees our responsibility instead of yours.

Every month, in writing

The recurring relationship must produce its own evidence.

Three ways to work together

  • Managed Operations
    Run the supported systems.

    For stable, lower-complexity systems that mainly need reliable operation.

  • Managed Intelligence Partnership
    Run it, prove it, and improve it.

    The recommended relationship for active systems that will continue evolving.

  • Strategic Intelligence Partnership
    Operate and advance the AI roadmap across the business.

    For clients who want Code Quarry to act as an embedded AI operating and strategy function.

The signed statement of work controls scope, term, usage limits, and service commitments. The right relationship depends on what the AI employees are expected to save, find, or protect, so the place to talk about it is a conversation.

The people behind the work

Built by people who understand both sides of the room.

Code Quarry brings together operating leadership, product strategy, enterprise architecture, and hands-on engineering. We have run operations inside real businesses and we have shipped software that holds up in production, so we can find the real work and build something dependable around it.

  • 01

    Operating leadership

    Years running operations inside real businesses, the side of the problem most technical teams never see.

  • 02

    Product and strategy

    Turning messy operational reality into clear, buildable systems with a measurable result.

  • 03

    Enterprise architecture and engineering

    Building dependable software and integrations that hold up in production.

The range

  • Simple automations

    A single handoff that should never have needed a person: a document that gets read and filed, a follow-up that gets sent, a record that gets updated.

  • AI employees

    A complete process run end to end: understanding requests, gathering information, deciding within your rules, acting across your systems, and bringing in a person when needed.

  • Custom software

    Interfaces, integrations, and deterministic systems built when the work needs something your existing software cannot do.

The same team covers all three. The work decides which one you need.

Your first step is a conversation.

Let's talk about the work.

A practical conversation about where your people are doing manual work today, and whether AI employees can take it over.
