We run the AI department for these agencies
What these systems did for real agencies.
Named clients, the number they moved, and how long it took.
Clic Tempo / Admin agency
Clic Tempo saves 30 hours a month and €36,000 a year by automating billing with ClickUp and Make
Design at Work / Creative agency
Design at Work runs 30+ retainer clients from one ClickUp system
BrainWaves Consulting / Grant consulting
BrainWaves saves about 10 hours on every client onboarding with a ClickUp grant engine
Everyone agrees AI matters. Nobody owns it.
No owner, no roadmap
AI is everyone's side project and nobody's job. Experiments happen in silos, learnings evaporate, and six 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 quietly 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, fixed price, software that runs in production.
- Agent roadmap ranked by ROI
- 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
Scoped per agent, from $3,000
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
Every agent ships 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.
-
The Operations & AI Audit maps your workflows and ranks agent opportunities by ROI. If you've already run it, we start from the roadmap.
-
We build the top-ranked agent and ship it inside your stack. Small scope, real workflow, measurable capacity back.
-
Each month: review what's running, measure hours saved, ship the next item on the roadmap. You see the ledger every month.
-
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.
From $2,500/month, scoped on a free 30-minute call.
Who this works for. Who it doesn't.
Good fit
- You already have agents or automations running and nobody owns them.
- AI keeps landing on whoever has a free afternoon.
- You want a roadmap and someone accountable for shipping it.
Not a fit
- One agent, one time. That is a build, not a retainer.
- Teams that want training only, with nobody running the system after.
- Anyone expecting AI to work before the process underneath it does.
Client testimonials
I'm Melanie, founder of BrainWaves Consulting, a grant strategy and writing business for bio/med tech companies. I found UpSys through Ramzi's terrific YouTube channel when I was looking for help turning ClickUp into a real OS for my business. Before working with UpSys, I had the pieces of a system, but they mostly existed in my mind. Nothing was organized in a way that made client delivery feel clear, repeatable, or easy to manage. I was juggling a lot across projects, deadlines, client communications, and internal tasks. I knew ClickUp could support the way I work, but I did not have the time or deep expertise to build it properly myself and have it done right the first time. Working with Anja and Ramzi at UpSys helped me translate the workflow that lived in my mind into a ClickUp space that is structured and intuitive. More than a well-designed, functional space, I also have a strong scaffold to build out company workflows as we continue to scale. The team went above and beyond with the project, from setting up automations to creating SOPs and walk-through videos; it really felt like white-glove service. I've already saved hours on getting new hires up to speed because the onboarding/training materials are all in place. The grant writing process is also much clearer for my clients. They can see what is needed, what is missing, and what comes next, which has saved me time by reducing back-and-forth emails and helping prevent missing items from slowing down the process. UpSys did a great job translating the way my business actually works into a ClickUp system I can use every day. Anja was a joy to work with and was always ready to answer questions and make any tweaks to the setup. I would absolutely recommend them to any service-based business owner who wants more clarity, organization, and ease in their operations!

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.

I took time to step back before writing this to fully assess both the solution and how it was implemented. Today, I can say I'm very satisfied. The solution clearly meets our needs. It removed several bottlenecks for our teams. ClickUp is now part of our daily routines. Adoption is strong. Collaboration is clearer and more effective. Recent hires with strong industry experience have integrated quickly, which helped us move faster. The solution continues to improve. Updates are frequent. A good example is time tracking: initially limited, it has matured significantly since the start of the year. We're now seriously considering using it day to day.

We were looking for a powerful tool to plan our teams and monitor our activity that was user-friendly, dynamic, and easy to use. Our objective and the challenge we faced was to get our staff to adopt a new business management method in which they would become active participants, not only in managing their daily workload, but also as advisors to other team members. This was made possible thanks to ClickUp, with support from the UpSys teams during implementation. We exceeded our objectives thanks to Ramzi and his experience. Today, the team saves more than 6 hours per week on planning and 1 hour per person per week on activity monitoring, or 72 hours per month, without even counting the energy redirected toward lead acquisition. A great success story for the company in 2025, so much so that we've decided to extend the partnership until 2026. Thank you to Ramzi and the entire team.

UpSys helped us improve our system and actually make the transition to ClickUp, which we had been trying to do for a long time. They delivered what we were looking for, were flexible and supportive, and fixed a lot of problems and complexities from previous consultants. Overall, we're very happy with the work provided and feel it was good value. We appreciate Ramzi and his help!

CEO · Brandtegic (Video Agency)
The team at UpSys were fantastic to work with. They quickly identified our needs during the discovery call, coordinated with the necessary team members to capture the full scope of the project, and then designed and implemented a project management system tailored to our company. True professionals. We look forward to continuing our partnership with them in the future!
