Everything you want to know about how we work, what we charge, and whether Opulex AI is the right fit for your business.
Our Process — From First Contact
to Fully Deployed System
Every Opulex AI engagement follows a deliberate, transparent process. No surprises. No wasted time. Here's exactly what happens from the moment you reach out.
You Fill Out a Brief Intake Form
Short, simple, no commitment. We ask for basic information about you and your business — just enough for us to understand who you are before we talk. This takes less than 5 minutes.
We Research Your Business
Before we come back to you, we do our homework. We look at your industry, your current operations, your competition, and where AI is already creating leverage in your space. We come prepared.
You Complete an In-Depth Questionnaire
We send you a detailed interactive questionnaire tailored to your business. This digs into your workflows, pain points, team structure, goals — and importantly, your budget comfort level. We ask about budget not to charge you more if you have more, but because what we can build is virtually limitless. A higher budget means a more comprehensive system — not a higher price tag for the same thing. You get exactly what you pay for, and we'll show you every dollar's worth.
We Build Your Custom Proposal
We analyze everything and put together a complete, bespoke proposal — scoped specifically for your business. This isn't a template with your name on it. It's a real blueprint for what we'd build, how long it takes, and what it costs.
The 60-Minute Strategy Call
This is where it all comes together. The first 30 minutes, we walk you through the entire proposal — every feature, every function, every capability of the system we've designed for you. The second 30 minutes, we present the investment and answer every question you have. By the end of this call, you'll know exactly what you're getting and exactly what it costs. No fog, no pressure.
Getting Started
Absolutely — and we mean that. The consultation isn't a sales pitch; it's a strategic session designed to give you real clarity. Even if you're not ready to invest today, you'll walk away knowing exactly which AI systems can take your business to the next level, what they cost, and how to prioritize them. Many of our clients book the consultation months before they're financially ready — and when the time comes, they move fast because they already have the roadmap. Knowledge is the first investment. Make it.
The $299 gets the process started in full. After you submit a brief intake form, we research your business before sending you a detailed interactive questionnaire. Once you complete it, we analyze everything and build a comprehensive, custom proposal — tailored specifically to your operation. Then we sit down with you for a 60-minute call: the first half walks you through every feature and function of the proposed system, the second half presents the investment. You walk away with a complete picture and a clear decision to make. The $299 is credited toward your build if you move forward.
Serious business owners. E-commerce operators, importers, real estate firms, service companies, and manufacturers who are running real operations and ready to scale. If you're looking for a $500 chatbot, we're not your team. If you're ready to build something that actually transforms how your business operates, you're in the right place.
Not at all. You bring the business knowledge — we bring the AI expertise. Our job is to translate what your business needs into systems that work. The only thing we ask is that you come with a clear picture of your goals and a willingness to implement. We handle everything technical from start to finish.
If your business has repetitive processes, manual data handling, customer communication bottlenecks, or decisions that depend on information spread across multiple systems — AI automation will almost certainly deliver a strong ROI. The strategy session is the fastest way to find out exactly where the opportunity lies in your specific operation.
Pricing & Investment
Because real AI automation isn't a plug-in or a template. Every system we build is custom-architected for your business — your data, your workflows, your edge cases. We don't cut corners, and we don't hand you something generic with your logo on it. The starting price reflects the actual engineering time and expertise required to build something that performs at a high level.
The consultation fee is not refundable, but it is fully credited toward your build if you move forward with an engagement. You're paying for a senior engineer's focused time and expertise — that has real value whether or not you proceed.
Builds start at $9,999 and scale with the scope and complexity of what we build. One of the questions in our pre-call questionnaire is about your budget comfort level — and it's important to understand why we ask. We ask because what we can build is virtually limitless. We can develop a focused single-system automation, or we can architect a comprehensive AI infrastructure that takes months to build with endless capabilities. A bigger budget means a more powerful, more complete system — not a higher price for the same thing. You get exactly what you pay for, and we make sure you see the full value before you commit. We'll give you a clear, itemized proposal before the call — no surprises.
We handle payment structure on a case-by-case basis for qualified clients. This is something we can discuss during or after the strategy session once we have a clear scope of work. Our priority is working with clients who are committed — and we're flexible when the right partnership is on the table.
The Work
Most focused AI builds take 4–12 weeks from kickoff to deployment. Larger, multi-system integrations can take longer. We set clear timelines upfront and stick to them. You'll always know where things stand — no black holes, no radio silence.
Yes. We build around your existing stack, not the other way around. Whether you're running on Salesforce, Shopify, QuickBooks, custom ERP systems, or anything in between — we architect solutions that connect cleanly with what you already have. Disruption to your current operations is minimized by design.
Yes — always. There are no account managers standing between you and the people building your system. You communicate directly with the engineers who know your project inside and out. It's one of the things that makes our engagements dramatically more efficient than working with a large agency.
We don't hand you something and disappear. Every engagement includes a transition period where we make sure your team understands the system and it's running exactly as designed. We also offer ongoing optimization retainers for clients who want continuous improvements as their business evolves.
Completely. Every client engagement is covered by a strict NDA. Your data, your processes, your competitive intelligence — none of it is shared, referenced, or used outside of your project. Confidentiality is non-negotiable for us, and for the caliber of clients we work with.
Results & Expectations
Our clients typically see 5x–15x returns on their AI investment within the first year — through labor reduction, faster decision-making, fewer errors, and higher throughput. That said, ROI varies by business type and implementation. We build ROI targets into every engagement from day one so you're measuring against something concrete.
In many cases, AI doesn't replace people — it makes them dramatically more effective, and eliminates the need to hire more as you scale. In some cases, yes — highly repetitive roles can be fully automated. We'll be honest with you about what's realistic in your specific situation. We're not here to oversell; we're here to build systems that actually deliver.
We stand behind our work. Every build includes a performance validation phase before final delivery. If something isn't meeting the benchmarks we agreed on, we fix it. We've built our reputation on results, not promises — and we intend to keep it that way.
Yes. While we're headquartered in Glendale, California, we work with clients across North America and internationally. Time zone differences haven't been a barrier — we structure engagements to accommodate remote collaboration effectively, and most of our work is delivered digitally anyway.
