Halsted AI

Every other business

AI for small businesses that are not clinics

Healthcare is where we go deepest, because the paperwork is heaviest and the rules are strictest there. The underlying problem is the same everywhere. A handful of tasks are quietly eating a full-time salary and nobody has had time to work out which ones.

What we usually find

Where the money is actually going

01

You do not have an AI problem, you have three specific tasks

Somebody needs to work out which three things cost the most, then fix those three. It is a two-week job. The answer is usually something boring like your invoicing.

02

The pilot that never ended

Most businesses that have tried AI keep a small graveyard of tools somebody signed up for, used for three weeks and abandoned. Nobody wired any of them into how the work moves through the business. They all died in the first busy month.

03

The seams are where the money is

Each of your software vendors will make their own product smarter. None of them will fix the gap between your booking system, your inbox, your invoicing and the spreadsheet somebody keeps because those four do not talk. All the copying and pasting happens in that gap.

What we'd build

Fixed price, quoted after the audit

from $9,800

Front Desk

Nobody has to answer the phone anymore.

Picks up every call and text at any hour. Books, reschedules, cancels, and handles the twenty questions your staff field all day. Hands over the moment a call needs a person.

  • Answers every call, including after hours and during the lunch rush
  • Books and reschedules straight into your practice management system
  • Answers insurance, hours, location, pricing and prep questions
  • Texts back missed calls within seconds
  • Puts anything urgent or clinical straight through to a person
  • Sends you a daily transcript of everything it said

Revenue & Recall

The money you have already earned, collected.

Accepted treatment nobody booked. Patients who stopped coming. Denials nobody appealed. This works all three lists every week, politely, at a fixed monthly cost.

  • Works your unscheduled treatment list every week
  • Reactivates patients who haven't been in for 12+ months
  • Triages claim denials and drafts the appeal
  • Chases outstanding balances in a tone you have approved
  • Reports what it recovered, in dollars, every month

Live in 4–6 weeks

How it goes

Audit, build, stay.

  1. 01

    We audit

    Two weeks watching how the work really moves. You get a written plan with dollar figures on it, and you keep it whether or not you hire us.

  2. 02

    We build

    Fixed price, three to six weeks. It connects to the software you already run. Staff are trained during the build, not on go-live day.

  3. 03

    We stay

    We watch it, fix what drifts, add one new thing each quarter. Cancel any month on thirty days' notice.

The questions everyone asks

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

Anything with a phone that rings, paperwork that repeats and money that needs chasing. Law firms, property management, home services, veterinary, med spas, agencies and specialty clinics. The audit is the same shape whatever the industry.

We are too small for this.

If a full-time salary's worth of work is going into tasks a computer could do, you are the right size. If it is not, the audit will say so and we both save time. Below about five people the honest answer is usually to buy an off-the-shelf tool, and we will name the tool for you.

How is this different from hiring an agency?

Agencies sell retainers and hours, which pays them to take longer. We sell a fixed-price plan and fixed-price builds. The plan stands on its own, and a fair number of people take it to their own developer.

Two weeks from now you could have the plan.

The audit is $2,500. Refundable if it cannot pay for itself three times over, and the fee comes off anything you go on to build.
