AI automation for small businesses.

What gets automated, what it costs and what is handed over at the end.

In short

At A2 Digital Works, AI automation means: an enquiry comes in, is captured, answered, written to the CRM and followed up – without copy-paste. We connect what you already use, such as Gmail, WhatsApp, calendar and CRM. A Buddy starts at €269 setup and €30 a month.

What is AI automation for businesses?

Recurring work is done by the system: an enquiry comes in, is captured, answered, written to the CRM and followed up – without copy-paste and without forgotten follow-ups. AI steps handle classification, drafts and summaries. People stay in charge of decisions that need an approval.

What is built?

It starts with a process analysis, followed by the automation architecture. We connect Gmail, WhatsApp, CRM and calendar, plus forms and databases. AI steps classify, draft and summarise. Monitoring and error handling make sure you notice when something does not run as it should.

  • You get: a process map, a running automation, monitoring and a handbook for your team.

How much does AI automation cost?

The entry point is an A2 Buddy from €269 setup and €30 a month. If the Buddy should also act in your systems – booking appointments, creating records, forwarding – that starts with Starter at €690 and €99 a month. Larger workflows get a quote with a fixed price per section.

Is AI automation eligible for funding?

Often more so than a website alone. In Vienna the programme “Lebendiges Grätzl” explicitly names process digitalisation and the use of AI (25 %, projects from €7,500); “Digitalisierung” funds up to 50 % from €10,000. Carinthia has “Umsetzung.KI”. The application must be filed before the project starts.
