The Problem

Most companies are drowning in manual work.

Even though powerful AI tools exist, most businesses struggle to actually implement them. Hiring an internal AI engineer is expensive and risky. Most companies simply want someone who can continuously improve their systems with AI.

01

Too many manual processes eating up your team’s time

02

Reporting that takes hours every single week

03

Repetitive operational work with no end in sight

04

Disconnected software tools that don’t talk to each other

05

Founders stuck in operations instead of driving growth

The result? Founders and teams spend their best hours on work that should be automated.

The Solution

A dedicated AI operator, inside your business.

Instead of hiring a full-time AI engineer, you get a trained AI operator dedicated to your business. This operator continuously improves your company, supported by a central team for complex implementations.

Our Story

Built by founders who lived this problem.

Nate Ginsburg and Menno Gottmer, founders of AI Automation Operators

Nate Ginsburg

Founder & CEO, SellerPlex, Adaptive Teams & Centurica

Serial entrepreneur who built SellerPlex (ecommerce services) and Centurica (financial due diligence for online businesses).

Menno Gottmer

COO, SellerPlex & Adaptive Teams

Helped build SellerPlex and Adaptive Teams from the ground up. Drives operations and strategy across both companies.

Nate and Menno built SellerPlex together, growing it into a successful ecommerce services company. Along the way, they experienced firsthand how much time teams spend on repetitive operational work. Reporting, data entry, tool management, follow-ups – the manual tasks never stopped.

When AI tools became powerful enough, they started automating inside their own companies. The results were transformative. Processes that took hours now ran automatically. Reports built themselves. AI agents handled tasks that used to require full-time attention.

“We realized that most businesses don’t need another engineer. They need someone who continuously improves their operations with AI. That’s exactly what we built.”

They realized other businesses needed this too. So through Adaptive Teams, they created AI Automation Operators – making it possible for any company to have a dedicated AI operator improving their business every day.

Led by Leo & the AI Development Team

The AI development team is based in Brazil, led by Leo, and trained on the latest AI automation tools, frameworks, and agent platforms. They provide the technical backbone that powers every operator, handling complex implementations and staying on the cutting edge of AI automation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions, answered.

Everything you need to know before getting started. Still have questions? Get in touch and we’ll be happy to answer them directly.

How quickly can we get started?

Once confirmed, onboarding typically takes just a few days. Your dedicated operator will have an initial discovery call with your team to understand your workflows, tools, and priorities, then begin identifying automation opportunities within the first week.

What AI and automation tools do your operators work with?

Our operators are trained across the leading automation and AI platforms, including Make (Integromat), Zapier, n8n, Airtable, Notion, HubSpot, Slack, and a range of AI agent frameworks. They continuously update their skills as new tools emerge. If you use a specific tool, we’ll work with it.

Is this a one-time project or ongoing?

This is an ongoing service, not a one-time project. Your operator works with your business continuously, building new automations, maintaining existing ones, and finding new opportunities to improve your operations every month.

What’s the difference between this and hiring a freelancer or agency?

Freelancers and agencies typically deliver a project and move on. Your AI Automation Operator is dedicated to your business on an ongoing basis. They learn your systems, understand your team, and continuously improve your operations over time. They’re also backed by our central technical team for complex implementations.

Do I need to have technical knowledge to work with an operator?

Not at all. Our operators are trained to work with non-technical founders and teams. You describe the problem or the repetitive work, they figure out the best way to automate it.

How do you handle security and access to our business tools?

Security is a priority. Operators follow structured access protocols. They only access the tools and data necessary for the automations they’re building. We use best practices for credential management, controlled environments where needed, and secure workflows for handling company information.

What size company is this best suited for?

AI Automation Operators works best for companies with 5-20+ employees. Founders, agencies, ecommerce businesses, and service companies that have real operational workflows but don’t have the resources or desire to hire a full-time AI engineer.

What does the $4,000-$6,000/month pricing include?

The monthly fee includes a dedicated AI automation operator, ongoing automation development, monitoring and maintenance of existing automations, and support from our central technical team for complex implementations. There are no hidden fees or per-automation charges. It’s a simple, all-inclusive subscription.
