AI Automation Service for an Online Business: What EUR 399 Buys and What It Does Not

You run an online business, and you have heard that AI could take some of the weekly work off you. Then you search for someone to set it up, and every AI automation specialist sounds the same: “custom workflows”, “discovery call”, a quote after the call. This article says what a service like that should hand you, how to compare offers, and what I sell as one: a fixed price, 2 hour working session where I set up Claude Code with you.

What you need.

  • Claude Code: the AI assistant that does the work on your computer. You chat with it in a window, and it asks before it changes anything.
  • A Claude plan: Pro, about EUR 18 a month before VAT, billed by Anthropic, not by me.
  • Boards: task pages in Trello, a free app. The pack gives you up to 3.
  • The session: EUR 399 once, fixed.

What an AI automation service is

An AI automation service is a person who sets up an AI tool inside your business so that a recurring job gets done without you doing it by hand, and who leaves it working on your own accounts. For an online seller the recurring jobs are stock checks, supplier chasing, mail sorting, price and listing checks. The service is the setup. The AI does the weekly part.

The free sample page shows one morning of decisions with sample data, each with a Go and a Skip button. Nothing you press is sent, and there is no signup.

What you should get from any AI automation service

Three things: it runs on your accounts, it is filled with your real numbers, and you can run it without the person who built it. Test every offer against those:

  1. Your accounts, not theirs. If the setup lives on the provider’s tools, you rent it and it stops the day you stop paying.
  2. Your numbers. A setup filled with sample stock levels and sample margins checks nothing about your business. Your stock, your margins and your discount codes are what make a check mean something.
  3. A way to run it yourself. If the answer to “what do I do on Monday” is “call me”, you bought a dependency, not a system.

What the EUR 399 session includes

One working session of 2 hours, on a screen share, where I set up the EUR 129 Decision Page on your own accounts, filled in with your stock, margins and discount codes. The price is fixed before you pay, and the table shows both sides:

IncludedNot included
Claude Code installed on your computer, answering “Where do you sell?”A Claude plan: Pro is about EUR 18 a month before VAT, billed by Anthropic
Up to 3 boards from the pack, on your free Trello accountMore than 3 boards, or more than one business

A 14 day refund by email, no call neededChanging your store platform or your hosting

If you need more than the left column, you email me and we agree it before anything is added. That one sentence is the scope rule: anything outside the list is a separate quote, never a surprise on an invoice.

The page after payment. Notice the three things to bring: your Claude plan, a free Trello account, and your rough stock, margins and discount codes.

How the two hours run

You book a slot, bring three things, and we share a screen while I set it up and you answer the questions only you can answer. In order:

  1. Install the free programs together. Node.js, VS Code and Claude Code, on your own computer. If you install them before we meet, we skip this part.
  2. Set up the boards. Up to 3 boards from the pack, in your Trello account, named for how you work.
  3. Fill in your facts. Where you sell, your stock, your margins and your discount codes. You answer, I type.
  4. Run the first check. Claude reads your numbers and puts what needs a decision on one page. You press Go or Skip on a real row before we stop.

The result of a sample stock check: one card per product running low, marked Added by AI. The quantity is a suggestion on a card, not an order.

6 questions to ask any AI automation specialist first

Ask for the answers in writing before you pay, and treat a vague answer as a no. The questions, with the answer I give to each:

  1. Who types during the work? Me, while you watch and answer. In a session where you type and I only guide, you pay for a lesson, not a build.
  2. Whose accounts does it run on? Yours: your computer, your Trello, your Claude plan.
  3. What is the price, and what is in it? EUR 399, fixed, with the included list above. Not an hourly rate, which punishes the person who works faster.
  4. Can it change things without my approval? Not in this setup. Claude proposes, you press Go. My article on whether Claude Code changes prices without asking explains the mechanism.
  5. What if it does not work for me? Email within 14 days for a refund, no call needed. After the session, questions go to my own inbox.
  6. What do I keep if we stop? Everything on your accounts. Nothing sits on mine.

Service or the pack alone?

If you are comfortable following a written guide, buy the EUR 129 Decision Page and set it up yourself; the EUR 399 session pays for my time doing it with you. The difference is EUR 270. Whether it is worth it is arithmetic, and you can run it with your own numbers: how long would setting it up alone take you, and what is an hour of your week worth?

An invented example: if you would need 8 hours alone and you value an hour at EUR 40, that is EUR 320 of your time, so the session is cheaper. If you enjoy the tinkering and have a free weekend, the pack alone wins. The same arithmetic, applied to hiring someone for an hour versus owning a template, is in ecommerce consultant or a template.

What this kind of service does not do

It does not run your business, and it does not promise a number. After the session you have a working setup, and the setup still needs about 10 to 45 minutes a week from you for the checks. It saves the reading and the arithmetic, not the deciding. For the five jobs people hand over first, read Claude for a small business, and for which weekly jobs to automate before others, AI automation for a small online business.

Questions people ask

How much does an AI automation service cost?

Prices vary and many are quoted only after a call, so ask for a fixed price and the included list in writing. Mine is EUR 399 for one 2 hour session, plus a Claude plan billed separately by Anthropic.

Do I need to be technical?

No, you need to know your business and answer questions. I install the programs with you and I type. If you can tell me where you sell and what your stock looks like, that is enough.

Is an AI automation consultant the same as a specialist?

The titles overlap, so compare what is delivered, not the title. A consultant often advises and a specialist often builds. Check which one you are buying, and whether anything is left running on your accounts at the end.

Can I try anything before I pay?

Yes: the free sample page, the free website check and a free 30 minute intro call. The call is where I tell you whether this fits your business, and sometimes the honest answer is the free starter board or nothing.

Not sure it fits your business?

Book the free 30 minute intro call. You tell me what you run and which job eats your week, and I tell you straight whether a setup would help. No pitch deck, and no obligation.
