What does a Business Automation & AI Specialist do?
A Business Automation & AI Specialist helps a firm remove repetitive work, connect its tools, and put useful improvements into everyday use. The work starts with the process and uses AI where it helps.
Start with the work
I speak with the people doing the work, map the handoffs, and identify where information gets copied, documents get chased, or recurring updates absorb time. I check whether existing software can already handle the task before proposing a new tool or a custom build.
Establish the business case
The diagnostic sets a baseline and estimates the benefits and necessary costs. Contractor spending reduced, hiring avoided, and time recovered are different kinds of value and should be counted separately without double counting. The forecast determines what is worth implementing.
Implement the agreed improvements
The build may involve configuring reminders, connecting systems, or drafting information for human review. AI is useful for some unstructured information; fixed rules are often sufficient for predictable tasks. Scope, acceptance criteria, and delivery milestones are agreed after the diagnostic.
Keep people involved
Sensitive decisions need clear approval steps. I test the workflow, provide a way to stop it, and document what happens when something fails. Your team is trained to manage the delivered functionality and knows where human review is required.
How the Jovadan engagement works
The ninety-day engagement includes a two-week diagnostic followed by implementation and handover. Founders pricing is $20,000 including the $5,000 diagnostic; Standard is $30,000 including an $8,000 diagnostic. The diagnostic can be purchased alone. Continued upkeep and expansion are optional.
A practical specialty
This is hands-on operational work. It does not replace your accountant, your managers, or responsibility for overall technology leadership. The goal is to give those people more room for the work that needs their expertise.

Common questions
Is this the same as a Fractional AI Officer?
If you’re looking for a Fractional AI Officer to put automation and AI into everyday use, Jovadan may fit. I focus on identifying repetitive work, implementing improvements, and handing them over to your team. Broader executive responsibilities, such as company-wide AI governance or technology leadership, require a different scope.
