7 Layer Studio · Dayton, Ohio

I build the automations your business is doing by hand.

Custom code that talks straight to Gmail, Calendar, Drive, and Docs. No Zapier. No monthly software fees. You own it outright.

What I build

Five automations that replace most of what you're paying for.

  1. Lead follow-up

    Someone fills out your form. A personalized reply goes out from your real business email in seconds — not whenever you get to it.

  2. Invoicing and reminders

    Close a job, and the invoice builds itself from your template, sends as a PDF, and keeps reminding them until it's paid.

  3. Appointment booking

    Clients book against your real calendar availability. The event, the Meet link, and the reminders are all set automatically.

  4. Client file organization

    New client, new Drive folder — contracts, assets, deliverables — created and linked before you think to do it.

  5. Nurture emails and review requests

    Timed follow-up sequences, and a review request that goes out at the right moment after the job is done.

Doing something else by hand? Describe the steps and I'll tell you what it takes to automate them. I also build custom web apps — dashboards, client portals, internal tools — for when the work needs a front end and not just a background process.

See it work

Put your email in and watch what happens.

I'll read your website, work out what you're probably doing by hand, and email you a plan for automating it — usually inside a minute. Written and sent by a system, not by me. That is the whole pitch, so you may as well see it rather than take my word for it.

A business address works best — that's how it finds your site.

One email. No list, no newsletter, no follow-up sequence you have to escape — just the plan and a single check-in a couple of days later.

How it works

Four steps, no surprises.

Pricing

Transparent starting prices. No monthly SaaS lock-in.

Every custom automation is built to your specifications for a one-time software fee. You own the code outright with zero monthly subscription fees from 7 Layer Studio. Third-party infrastructure (such as Twilio SMS or OpenAI APIs) is billed directly to your own accounts at cost.

Note on scale & AI upgrades: Starting rates apply to small businesses (1–10 employees). Pricing scales moderately for larger teams (11–50+ employees) to account for multi-user routing, permissions, and higher volume. Optional advanced AI features (such as conversational reasoning, custom prompt tuning, or multi-lingual support) can be added to any automation.

MemoryKeep

An AI memory system I built and open-sourced.

Most AI assistants forget you the moment the conversation ends. MemoryKeep is a seven-layer memory architecture that lets an AI actually retain what matters, drop what doesn't, and get sharper the longer you use it.

It's the backbone of the AI work I do here, and the code is public.

Client feedback

My entire app system was built and ready in two days — well-structured, functional, and exactly what I needed. She made sure I understood how everything worked before wrapping up. Legacy Collision
She explained everything and guided me through it step by step. There wasn't one time I needed help that she didn't respond in real time. Vincent Valenti, VPV Galleries

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about custom automations.

Why choose custom automations instead of Zapier or monthly SaaS subscriptions?

Most small businesses pay hundreds or thousands of dollars every year in recurring "SaaS taxes" for tools like Zapier, Make, or bloated CRM suites. With 7 Layer Studio, you pay once for custom code built directly against Google APIs and standard webhooks. You own the code outright with zero monthly subscription fees from us.

Do I own the code and software outright?

Yes. When your project is delivered, you receive full ownership of the custom code, scripts, and documentation. Everything runs in your own accounts (such as Google Workspace, Twilio, or OpenAI) so there is zero platform lock-in.

How does pricing work for different company sizes?

Our published starting rates apply to small businesses with 1–10 employees. Pricing scales predictably for larger teams (11–50+ employees) to account for multi-user routing, permission management, and higher data volume.

Can an AI receptionist use our existing business phone number?

Yes. We configure intelligent call routing so your AI receptionist seamlessly answers either after-hours, on overflow when lines are busy, or 24/7 on your existing business number.

Do you work with businesses outside of Dayton, Ohio?

Yes. While 7 Layer Studio is founded and based in Dayton, Ohio, we work remotely with businesses across the United States and internationally.
