In one answer

PixelCrayons automates repetitive workflows (intake, triage, data entry, reporting) inside the tools you already use. Human-in-the-loop checkpoints sit wherever judgement matters, every action is logged for audit, and each automation is evaluated against your own baseline before it runs unattended. The first working pilot lands in 14 days on one real queue. Direct for brands, white-label for agencies.

What an automation build
actually includes.

01

The right queue, chosen on evidence

Discovery maps where your team's hours actually go and picks the first workflow on evidence: high volume, clear rules, painful to do by hand. Intake, triage, data entry and reporting usually top the list. If a workflow shouldn't be automated (too much judgement, too little volume), the discovery document says so.

Week zero
02

Human-in-the-loop, by design

Wherever a step involves judgement (approvals above a threshold, exceptions, anything customer-facing that could go wrong expensively), the automation stops and asks. A person approves, edits or rejects, and the system learns the boundary. The goal is your team spending its hours on decisions, not on typing.

Every build
03

Built into your existing tools

No rip-and-replace. Automations wire into the helpdesk, CRM, ERP, spreadsheets and inboxes your team already lives in, so adoption never depends on anyone changing how they work. If a system has no API, we find the seam. That's the craft part of the job.

Included
04

Evaluation & audit logs

Before an automation runs unattended, it runs supervised against real cases from your queue. Its accuracy is then measured against your own baseline, not a vendor benchmark. After launch, every action it takes is logged: what came in, what it did, what it grounded that decision in. When an auditor or an angry customer asks why, you can answer.

Before launch
05

Handover & runbook

Your team gets the runbook, admin training and outright ownership of the code and pipelines: how to adjust thresholds, add a workflow to the queue, read the logs and switch any automation off. A light retainer is the usual shape after launch, for monitoring and the changes the first month teaches. Running it entirely in-house is fine too.

At handover
Pilot in 14 days

From queue audit
to unattended runs.

01
Days 1 to 3

Discovery & queue audit

We watch where the hours go, pick the first workflow on evidence, and agree in writing what correct looks like, including which steps must always stay human.

02
Week 1

Pilot scoped & priced

A written scope lands: one workflow, the systems it touches, the human checkpoints, a demo date. You approve the itemised price before anything is built.

03
Day 14

Working pilot, your queue

By day 14 the pilot is processing real items from your queue, supervised, logged, and measured against the baseline we agreed upfront.

04
Weeks 3 to 6

Evaluate, harden, hand over

Supervised runs become unattended ones only where the numbers earn it. Integrations harden, your team learns the runbook, and we say so plainly if a step should stay manual.

Inside Prism

Your engagement, week to week,
in one workspace.

Your AI build runs in a Prism workspace you log into: requests, approvals, the task list and the weekly review, with each decision and its expected result written down.

  • 01

    Requests and approvals

    One queue, one owner, one due date.

  • 02

    Weekly review

    Each decision recorded with its expected result.

  • 03

    Actions checked against outcome

    What we did and what happened, side by side.

Anatomy of one run

Unattended is not
the same as unsupervised.

Any automation looks good on the cases it was built for. What decides whether you can leave it running is what it does with the ones it was not. So we design the exits first and the happy path second.

The run
  1. 01

    Trigger

    A new item arrives (a form, an email, a row, a webhook), and the run starts with a record of what started it.

    No decision here

    Nothing is decided yet. A trigger that fires twice is de-duplicated on the record, not on a guess.

  2. 02

    Read and normalise

    Fields are extracted and mapped to the shape the downstream system expects.

    Field missing or unreadable

    The run parks with the item attached and the specific field named. It does not infer a value to keep moving.

  3. 03

    Classify and route

    The item is categorised and sent to the right queue, team or record.

    Confidence below the agreed line

    Routed to a human with the two candidate categories shown. Every override is captured, which is how the threshold gets tuned with evidence rather than opinion.

  4. 04

    Act

    The write happens (a record created, a status changed, a document filed) inside your system, under a service account you control.

    Above the value or risk threshold you set

    Held for sign-off before the write, not after. Thresholds are yours to set and change without a developer.

  5. 05

    Log and reconcile

    The action, its inputs, its decision and its actor are written to an audit trail you can query.

    Downstream system rejects the write

    The run rolls back to the last clean state and raises it. A half-finished run is the one failure mode that quietly corrupts data, so it is designed out rather than monitored for.

When it does not fit

The rule the whole lane is built around: an automation that stops and asks costs you a few minutes. One that guesses costs you the audit.

How we report it, in Prism

The queue baseline,
measured before anything is automated.

What you receive in month one

Automation is reported against the queue it replaces. In the first month you receive the process map with every manual step, its owner and its handoffs, the queue baseline recording volume, wait time and error rate as they stand today, and the exception list naming the cases that will stay with a person. Each workflow ships with its run log and its rollback path.

  • 01Process map: each step, its owner, and the handoffs between them
  • 02Queue baseline: volume, wait time and error rate before automation
  • 03Exception list: the cases that stay manual, and who handles them
  • 04Run log: each execution, its outcome, and the failures retried or escalated
  • 05Rollback path: how the manual process resumes if a workflow is paused

Automation is one door in.

A workflow that needs to reason over your documents connects to a knowledge system. The customer-facing end of the same pipeline is a chatbot. Building on n8n specifically? That has its own page.

Questions

Frequently
asked.

The ones where volume is high, the rules are clear, and doing it by hand is painful. In most businesses that means intake, triage, data entry and reporting, long before anything glamorous. Discovery maps where your team's hours actually go and ranks candidates on evidence: how often the task runs, how mechanical it is, and what an error costs. The wrong first pick is anything soaked in judgement or politics: automate the boring certainty first, earn trust with the logs, then climb. The discovery document ends with a ranked list and names what shouldn't be automated at all.

No, and any vendor promising to "replace headcount" is writing cheques the technology can't cash. What automation genuinely removes is the repetitive layer: the retyping, routing, chasing and formatting that fills a working week without using anyone's actual skills. What it can't replace is judgement. So we build human checkpoints into every workflow where a decision matters. Teams change shape around that: people stop being the conveyor belt and start being the quality control. We won't attach an invented percentage to it, because your queue isn't an average.

It will, occasionally: the design question is whether errors are visible and recoverable, or silent and compounding. Three mechanisms keep them the first kind. Human-in-the-loop checkpoints sit ahead of any step where an error is expensive. Evaluation before launch runs the automation supervised against real cases from your queue, and it only goes unattended where the measured accuracy earns it; and audit logs of every action (what came in, what it did, what it based that on) mean a mistake can be found, traced and corrected rather than discovered months later. And every automation has an off switch your team controls.

No: that constraint is the brief, not an obstacle. AI-based workflow automation integrates with the helpdesk, CRM, ERP, spreadsheets and inboxes your team already runs. The work meets your stack where it is, rather than holding value hostage to a migration. This matters because most automation projects die on adoption: the moment a workflow requires people to change their habits, usage collapses. Where a legacy system has no API, we find another seam: exports, mail parsing, whatever's reliable. If a platform change ever were genuinely worth it, we'd recommend it separately, with the trade-offs in writing. We never smuggle it in.

Less than a transformation programme, because we don't sell one. Every engagement opens with a scoped pilot (one workflow, your own queue, a working deliverable in 14 days), so you're pricing a small, defined build. The proposal you receive within 48 hours itemises what ships: the workflow covered, the integrations wired, the checkpoints and logging included, and what handover looks like. Extending to further workflows is priced per workflow, only after the first one has proved itself against your own baseline.

Against your own numbers, taken before we start, never a vendor benchmark or an industry average. In discovery we baseline the queue: how many items arrive, how long they wait, how long each takes, how often errors surface. The pilot is then judged on the same measures, and the evaluation report shows the deltas plainly. That includes any step where the automation is slower or less accurate than the human it assists, which happens and deserves saying. You'll notice this page quotes no "hours saved" headline. That's deliberate: those figures are yours to generate, not ours to invent.

Ask how it picks the first workflow, where humans stay in the loop, and what it measures against. Our answers: discovery ranks candidates on evidence, checkpoints sit ahead of any expensive step, and results are judged against your own baseline. Ask who owns the code at the end. With us, your team does, along with the runbook.

repetitive queue.
