What 828 Pros does

Custom AI agents

We build an agent around the work you want off your plate, such as estimates, research, lead tracking, follow-ups or reports. It works inside the email, calendar, files and CRM you already use.

Integration with your current tools

We connect the agent to supported systems you already have instead of asking you to switch. We check what is possible before we build.

Ongoing management

After launch we keep the agent running, test it on real work, and adjust it as your business changes.

What makes 828 Pros different

A local person, not a software subscription

828 Pros is based near Mills River. You work directly with Jared, who learns how your business runs and stays involved after launch.

Your systems stay in place

Your current tools are the foundation. If a tool is supported and practical, we connect to it rather than force a migration.

You approve what matters

Customer-facing and financial actions wait for your approval unless you decide otherwise. The rules for what the agent does on its own are written down.

Built from real client work

Our agents are in active use with WNC clients in construction, real estate, finance and the trades. One contractor produced a client estimate in about 30 minutes. A finance client reports saving $19,000 in accountant fees. See the examples.

No passwords through forms

We never ask for passwords through the website. Supported connections use narrow, approved sign-in methods once the scope is clear.

How it works

  1. Show us the work. We map where your information lives, how work moves between people and which decisions stay with you.
  2. We build your agent. It gets your context and the right tools. Together we decide what it handles on its own and what needs your OK.
  3. We keep it running. We connect your systems, test on real work, and keep adjusting the agent as your business changes.

Frequently asked questions

What is a managed AI agent?

An AI agent built for your work, connected to the systems you approve and maintained by 828 Pros after launch. It has the context and tools to do the jobs you give it.

Where do you work?

Across Western North Carolina, including Asheville, Hendersonville, Mills River, Fletcher, Arden, Black Mountain and Swannanoa.

Do I need to change my software?

No. We start with the tools you already use and connect the ones that are supported.

What can the agent do without asking me?

We decide that together. Research, summaries and tracking can run on their own. Customer-facing and financial actions follow the approval rules you set.
