For small businesses Sacramento, CA

The busywork runs itself. You run the business.

Melpro builds custom AI automation for small and local businesses: phone, text and chat agents that answer and book, follow-ups, quotes, invoices and reports that send themselves, and the glue between the tools you already pay for. Real code, on infrastructure you own.

What's ready now

Six systems you can try today.
More every week.

The first batch is built around the phone, because that's where small businesses bleed the most leads. Every one runs as a module of the same codebase. Your project becomes the next module.

In build

AI phone agent

Answers every call 24/7, qualifies the caller, books into your calendar and texts you the summary. Named, friendly, never sick.

Missed-call text-back

A missed call triggers a text within seconds. The customer gets an answer and a booking before they call the next guy.

Speed-to-lead callback

Someone fills out your website form, your phone agent calls them back within 60 seconds. While they're still on your site.

Website chat that books

A chat widget that knows your services and prices, answers questions and books the job. Not a contact form.

Review engine

Job marked done, the customer gets a review request. New Google reviews get a drafted reply for you to approve.

What we build

A back office that never clocks out.

Pick a business, pick what just happened, hit run. Watch the whole chain fire: the customer gets answered, the calendar fills, the invoice goes out, the owner gets the summary. Try it below.

Live demo, simulated data. The real version runs on your number, your calendar and your books. Book a call to see it on yours.

Agents that talk to customers

Phone, text and web chat, in your business's voice, with your prices and hours.

  • Answer, qualify, book, confirm
  • Missed-call text-back in seconds
  • Call back web leads in under a minute
  • Every call transcribed and summarized

Back office that runs itself

The admin that eats your evenings, done by software while you're on the job.

  • Quotes drafted from photos and a few words
  • Invoices sent when the job's marked done
  • Review requests, reminders, follow-ups
  • Weekly reports written and emailed

Glue between your tools

The tools you already pay for, finally talking to each other. No new platform to learn.

  • CRM ↔ calendar ↔ QuickBooks ↔ Sheets
  • Shopify orders, ad reports, inventory alerts
  • Data entry that happens on its own
  • One codebase, documented, yours to keep
What we do

Hours back. Nothing dropped.

We build and run custom automation for small businesses. Agents that answer the phone and book the job. Follow-ups, invoices and reports that send themselves. Connections between the tools you already pay for. If you do it every day and it doesn't actually need you, we can probably make it run itself.

Do the math

What does the busywork cost you?

Your numbers, not ours. We'd rather show you the math than quote a statistic.

Going to busywork each month
$1,950
26 hours a month you'd get back
Hours × 4.33 weeks × hourly value × automatable share. Ignores the leads you miss while doing it, so the real number is higher.

Admin is where your evenings go.
Not anymore.

Every owner says the same thing: the work is fine, it's everything around the work that eats the week. The calls, the follow-ups, the invoices, the spreadsheet nobody updates. We build the system that does it for you.

About

Built by an engineer, not an agency.

Melpro is one person and one phone agent. You get my cell, not a ticket queue, and everything we build runs on infrastructure you own.

Iroh

AI phone agent · the first module

Answers in two rings, books the job, texts the summary, never calls in sick. Runs on your number, in your business's voice, with your prices and hours.

How we work

From first call to running in about a week.

A straight path from the first conversation to a working system in your business. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.

1
Step 1

Discovery call

Fifteen minutes. You tell me what eats your week and where things fall through. If I can't help, I'll say so on the call.

2
Step 2

Scope and price

One page: what gets built, what it connects to, what it costs, when it's live. Fixed price. No scope creep.

3
Step 3

Build on your real setup

Your number, your calendar, your tools, your data. You get a test version to poke at before anything goes live.

4
Step 4

Go live, then tune

We switch it on and I watch the first 30 days, fixing edge cases as they show up. Keep it, or walk away with the code.

One decision away

Ready to hand off the busywork?

A 15-minute call. No slides, no pitch. Tell me what eats your week and I'll tell you what's worth automating first, what it costs, and whether I'm the right person to build it. If I'm not, you'll leave with a straight answer.
