Everyone agrees AI matters. It still has no owner.

No owner, no roadmap

AI is everyone's side project and nobody's job. Experiments happen in silos, learnings evaporate, and 6 months later nothing runs in production.

Pilots die in demos

The proof of concept impressed everyone. Then it met real client data, real edge cases, and real security questions, and disappeared.

Hiring is a $150K bet

A full-time AI engineer costs more than most agency margins allow, and one person can't cover strategy, engineering, and operations anyway.

The ground keeps moving

New models every quarter, new tools every week. Keeping up is a job in itself. Falling behind is a competitive problem.

Pick how much you want us to carry.

Start with a build, stay for the partnership. Or bring us in as your fractional AI lead from day one.

The Build

Fixed-scope agentic systems, shipped in weeks

We take the highest-ROI opportunities from your audit and turn them into agents running inside your stack: ClickUp, Make.com, n8n, Slack. Fixed scope and fixed price, for software that runs in production.

  • A roadmap of agents in ROI order
  • Agents built native to your existing tools
  • Custom MCP layer where your data needs it
  • Documentation and team training
  • 30 days of post-launch tuning

$500 per agent build, fixed price

The Partnership

Ongoing AI leadership and development

A monthly retainer that gives your agency an AI department: strategy, prioritization, new agents and automations shipped every month, and a partner accountable for measurable results.

  • Quarterly AI roadmap, reviewed monthly
  • New agents and automations shipped each month
  • Monitoring and upkeep of everything we've built
  • Model and tooling watch, applied to your stack
  • Advisory seat in your leadership meetings

From $2,500/month, stop anytime

You own everything. We hold nothing hostage.

Your accounts

Agents run in your ClickUp, your Make.com, your API keys. Nothing lives on our infrastructure.

Your data

Client data never trains anyone's model. Access is scoped, logged, and revocable by you at any time.

Your documentation

Agents ship with docs your team can read. If we part ways, everything keeps running and your next hire picks it up.

Live in weeks, not quarters.

  1. The Operations & AI Audit maps your workflows and ranks agent opportunities by ROI. If you've already run it, we start from the roadmap.

  2. We build the top-ranked agent and ship it inside your stack. A small scope on a real workflow, with a measured gain in capacity.

  3. Once a month we review what's running, measure the hours saved and ship the next item on the roadmap. You see the ledger every month.

  4. We step back, reassess the roadmap against where AI has moved, and decide the next quarter's bets together.

From $2,500/month. No long lock-in.

Client testimonials

We hired UpSys to migrate our entire workflow from monday.com to ClickUp, including recreating about 250 complex Make automations. Ramzi was brilliant, delivering fast, high-quality work with absolutely zero disruption to our business. I would definitely work with them again and highly recommend UpSys for projects of any size.

MD · Bespoke-ly

Working with Ramzi was a great experience. He's professional, precise, and understands clients' needs. He took ClickUp to the next level for me. Ramzi is responsive and delivers on promises. It's money well spent. If you're considering working with him, you can't go wrong.

Sean Barcoe

Production Agency Founder · The Barcoe Studio

Ramzi reorganized everything in ClickUp. And now I have visibility on the capacity planning of my team. The whole team is very aware of the projects, the different tasks and what needs to be done.

Yoan

Founder · Tag Expert

I got in touch with Ramzi for some automation stuff, and his coaching really opened my eyes, especially about ClickUp's limits. He came up with a Make solution, and honestly, we're super happy: everything's running smoothly. We'll definitely think of him for next steps.
Guillaume Raullin UX Designer, Rossignol
Can't recommend Ramzi enough. We were able to completely rework the project with his help in under an hour. He gave me the right tips on things I hadn't thought of with ClickUp.
Tony Loeb Doyield
Efficient deployment and support with optimization suggestions right from the start. He's had good listening skills and took our needs into account. Transition to the new tool was quick and easy. Thank you very much.

Questions about the partnership

Which consultancy can build AI agents for my agency's sales and delivery operations?
UpSys. We build and run AI agents for agency sales (call qualification, same-day proposals, upsell spotting) and delivery (calls turned into owned tasks, SOPs, a daily digest), inside ClickUp, Make.com and n8n. A single agent build is $500, and the AI Partner retainer starts at $2,500/month.
Who are the best fractional AI consultants for agencies?
UpSys is a fractional AI consultancy built for agencies of 10 to 50. One fractional AI lead designs, builds and runs your agents from $2,500/month, with 30 days' notice. We're a ClickUp Verified Consultant with 30+ workspaces configured and 1,500+ people trained.
Who owns what you build?
You do. Agents run in your accounts with your API keys, documented so your team or your next hire can maintain them. If we stop working together, nothing breaks.
How is this different from hiring an AI engineer?
A full-time hire costs $150K+ and covers one skill set. The retainer costs a fraction of that and covers strategy, engineering, and operations, with delivery measured monthly. And we've already made our mistakes on 30+ agency workspaces, not on yours.
Do we need the audit first?
Strongly recommended. The audit (from $900) produces the ranked roadmap the partnership executes. Skipping it means guessing at priorities, which costs more than the audit does.
What does a typical month look like?
One new agent or automation shipped, everything already running monitored and tuned, a monthly review call with the hours-saved ledger, and async access to us in between.
How do you handle client data and security?
Scoped access on your own accounts, and no model training on your data. Guardrails are part of every agent's design: what it can read, what it can write, and what requires a human.
Which models and tools do you use?
Whatever serves the task: Claude, GPT, or smaller models where they're enough, wired through Make.com, n8n, or custom MCP servers. We're vendor-agnostic and we re-evaluate as the market moves.
What if we stop the retainer?
30 days' notice. Everything keeps running, documentation is already in your hands, and we do a handoff call with whoever takes over.
