The problem

Most businesses know AI matters. They just don't know where to start.

Your team is buried in repetitive work that doesn't need to be done by people. We identify where AI can actually save time, then build the first working systems around your real workflows.

01
Repetitive email & client communication
Inbox triage, drafts, follow-ups, review responses.
02
Document-heavy workflows
Invoices, quotes, leases, RFPs, vendor PDFs.
03
Internal knowledge that lives in people's heads
SOPs, training, policies, tribal know-how.
04
Manual reporting & weekly updates
Spreadsheets, status notes, executive briefings.
05
Vendor and field follow-up
Order status, change orders, technician notes.
What we do

Three engagements, built around your operations.

Most firms sell strategy decks. We sell working systems. Each engagement is scoped, fixed-fee, and tied to a specific workflow in your business.

“The audit fee can be credited toward your first AI pilot build.”

03
Prototype

We build a working demo around one real workflow so your team can see what is actually possible.

The standard

Built for real operators.

Applied Ops AI exists to cut administrative drag, bring consistency to your team, and keep humans in the loop on the decisions that matter. We don't sell AI hype — we install systems that hold up on a Tuesday afternoon.

“If it can't survive your busiest week, it isn't a system.”
P/01
Built for operators

Real workflows over abstract strategy. We've run businesses, not just slide decks.

P/02
Practical first

The simplest effective tool — before any custom software gets written.

P/03
Measurable outcomes

Every project ties to time saved, mistakes reduced, or work standardized.

P/04
Human-in-the-loop

AI assists your people. It doesn't create uncontrolled risk.

P/05
Local & hands-on

DFW-based. On-site when it matters. No offshore agency hand-offs.

Reilee Williams

Founder & Principal Operator

Applied Ops AI was built by an operator, not a consultant. The same person scoping your audit has advised mid-market and enterprise businesses ($100M–$1B in revenue) on IT and operations, owns a local Dallas business, and is shipping AI workflows inside an industrial company today.

“Most AI advice doesn't survive contact with a real P&L. I only ship what I'd run in my own business.”
C/01
Enterprise IT Advisory
Advised mid-market and enterprise businesses ranging from $100M to $1B in revenue on systems, infrastructure, and operations.
C/02
Local Operator
Owner of Sclafani's — a Dallas-area small business. Lives the operator side of every workflow.

Industrial AI
Currently implementing AI workflows inside an industrial company — production systems, not slideware.

Frequently asked

Answers for DFW operators.

What owners and operators in Dallas–Fort Worth ask before our first call.

What does an AI consulting firm in Dallas actually do?
We map your real operational workflows, identify where AI can remove repetitive admin work or organize messy information, and either advise on implementation or build the systems for you. The focus is operational outcomes — not generic strategy decks.
How long does an AI workflow audit take?
Two to three weeks. We interview your team, observe the workflows that consume the most hours, and deliver a prioritized list of AI opportunities with effort, cost, and expected impact for each.
Do you build the AI systems, or just advise?
Both. Many engagements start with an audit and move into a fixed-fee pilot where we build and deploy the first system end-to-end. We can also embed as a fractional AI operator if you need ongoing capacity.
What does an AI pilot typically cost?
Pilots are scoped as fixed-fee engagements, usually between $8,000 and $15,000 depending on system complexity and integration surface. You see the scope and price before any work begins.
Which DFW industries do you work with?
Restaurants and hospitality, real estate, construction, professional services, healthcare practices, retail, logistics, home services, nonprofits, and private-equity portfolio companies across Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, Arlington, and Irving.
Do we need technical staff to use what you build?
No. Systems are designed for the people already doing the work — your front-desk team, ops manager, or back office. We document everything and train your team during handoff so nothing depends on us long-term.
Before you book

Quick answers about the audit & pilot.

Q/01

What happens during the 10-day audit?

Two working sessions with you and your team, document and tool review, a ranked opportunity map, and one working prototype built around your real workflow.

Q/02

Do we need to prepare anything?

No prep deck. We ask for read access to the tools you already use (email, docs, CRM, spreadsheets) and a 60-minute kickoff. We take it from there.

Q/03

Who from our side needs to be involved?

One decision-maker and one operator who lives the workflow daily. That's usually enough to ship the first pilot without slowing your team down.

Q/04

What does a pilot implementation actually cost?

Fixed fee between $8,000 and $15,000 depending on scope. The audit fee credits toward the pilot, so you only pay the delta if you move forward.

Q/05

How do you handle our data and privacy?

Your data stays in your tools. We use enterprise AI providers with no training on your data, scoped access, and full removal at the end of the engagement.
