AI office · one-owner businesses

The work that eats your week, handled.

Dayvu puts AI employees to work in one-owner businesses, set up around what you already do by hand: paperwork typed in, sheets rebuilt, the chasing done.

Nothing leaves your business until you have read it. Your rules decide what it drafts alone and what waits for you. 78% of small business owners say they do not trust AI with basic tasks without close oversight (Bluevine, April 2026).

Why this exists

The part of the job that eats your week isn't the part you're paid for.

We build for the owner with a small crew, too small for an office manager. The admin lands on the person quoting jobs and serving customers. Paperwork arrives faster than anyone can clear it, and follow-ups go late.

Dayvu clears it. We learn your business, then run the office around the jobs you hand over.

Where most owners start

One job, running on its own. Delivery invoices read into your cost sheet weekly, with a line on what moved in price. Or every open quote, chased in your words until it books or says no. Then hand over the next.

Documents

Paperwork gets typed in by hand.

Invoices, receipts, delivery notes, order forms, scanned PDFs, handwritten lists: clean rows in your existing sheet. Totals checked, odd items flagged.

Spreadsheets

The same workbook gets rebuilt every month.

Cost sheets, job logs, rosters, stock counts: kept current on a schedule, with formulas and charts.

Watching

You find out about a problem after it has cost you.

Prices, stock, competitors, tenders, leads, reviews, published hours: checked on your schedule, and you hear about a change when it shows up.

Data pulls

Your numbers live in four different places.

Numbers from your POS, supplier portal, spreadsheet or inbox, using exports your systems already produce, kept in one monthly shape.

Reports

The monthly pack, built before you need it.

The monthly pack: what came in, what it cost, what changed, as a PDF, spreadsheet or short email on the same day each month.

Reading

Long documents, made short.

Contracts, specifications, policies, supplier terms, recordings: short answers, with dates and obligations pulled out.

How it works
From intake to running
  1. You describe the work

    One call, in plain words: what you do by hand now, where the numbers live, which systems you log into, what a good result looks like, what we must not touch. This is the only part that needs your time.

  2. You get the plan in writing

    Inside 48 hours: the jobs, connections, rules, escalations and install date. You approve the plan before anything is installed.

  3. We build it and test it

    The agent is configured around your jobs and connected to your systems. Rules and escalations are written down, then each job is corrected before live work.

  4. The install, then it settles

    Over a call and a screenshare, $999 once, or half a day in the room inside 30 miles of the Twin Cities. Hosted instead, $499 once on our servers, over one call. The first job runs on your paperwork, and the restart test proves it returns by itself. The first weeks are watched closely.

  5. Every month after

    Once a month we read how it performed, take your feedback and improve the jobs and rules.

Most installs happen within a week of the call, once the files and logins are in hand.

Your portal

Everything it handled, on the screen in your hand.

The office comes with a portal: one page in the browser you already use. It holds the thread with your agent, every file it produced and every decision it needs, on your phone and the office computer.

Getting in

A link in your email and you're in.

A link sent to your own address, so there is no password to invent or forget. Changed phones? Ask for another.

Asking

Ask it something at 3am from the truck.

The thread is where the work happens: ask what it did with last week's delivery notes, or tell it to hold the quote follow-ups until Friday. It answers from your own register, and a job you sent shows up as it happens.

The files

Everything it built is in one list.

The sheets, the reports, the monthly pack and the documents it read sit beside the thread, not in an inbox. It runs both ways: send in a photographed receipt or a handwritten list and the office takes it.

Your call

Anything outside the rules stops and asks.

When a step needs your say-so, a card appears in the thread with one button per answer. Every decision is recorded, and closing the tab waits for you.

The portal comes with the office. There from the first week, covered by the monthly.

The team

Named desks, and a person who answers for it.

Every job in the office has an owner. The desks are software we build and run.

The whole office is listed at Meet the team: what each desk owns, and the six rules they all work to.

Pricing

Priced per business, not per seat.

The office, hosted
One business on our own servers, anywhere in the United States, reaching you in iMessage or Discord.
$499/MO
+ $499 TO SET IT UP, ONE TIME
Custom-built AI employee: built around your work and your rules, not a template.
iMessage built in: it writes to you and answers in Messages, same thread. No app, no password.
Discord built in: a server of your own, one channel per job, searchable months later.
Its own space on our own servers: no other business beside it, no trip to book.
Portal access: the live log, the files it produced, the thread where you ask anything.
A $100 a month token limit: thinking is included up to the ceiling, where the office stops. The month lifts only on an agreed extra.
24/7 uptime monitoring: watched from here, so an incident is caught before it disrupts your work.
Automated daily backups of your register and the work it produces.
Monthly improvement cycle: every 30 days we read how it performed and improve the instructions.
Cross-client upgrades: a better way of doing something ships to every office we run.
You own everything, always: your data, your register and everything the office produces, on request.
Set up over one call instead of a visit, in a profile built for your business. The register and whatever a job reads sit with us rather than in your office. No half day in your room, no restart test.

Ten hours of admin a week is about $1,220 a month at the Twin Cities average for a bookkeeping clerk ($28.24 an hour, Minnesota OES, Seven County Mpls-St Paul, first quarter 2026). The installed office is $699 a month. Give back six of those ten hours and it has paid for itself.

Three ways

Three ways this gets built, and who does the work after.

Build it yourself, rent hosting, or have Dayvu run the office. The cards above are the last option.

Build it yourself

Your people build and keep it
  • You own it, and it does not depend on us.
  • Your team owns configuration, rules, wiring and repairs.
Right when this is already someone's job.

Rent managed hosting

A provider keeps a server online
  • The server and basics are looked after.
  • Configuration stays generic, and support is about the server, not your invoices.
It hosts the agent. Your work still needs building.
Recommended

The office, run for you

Dayvu builds and runs it
  • Built around your jobs, documents and rules.
  • Dayvu installs, runs, watches and repairs it.
  • No volume is counted.
You buy the capacity. We run the system behind it.

The first column is the path we took. We maintain the framework behind the office, so the fee stays flat.

Questions

The ones everybody asks.

Do I have to hand my whole business over to an AI?

No. The agent takes repeat work inside rules you set. Everything outside those rules comes to you, and nothing goes to a customer without your say-so.

What can it actually take over?

The six jobs above, all of them running today. Where you already run a booking system, POS or CRM, we look at what it hands over (an export, a login, a report) and connect it. Reviews are drafted in your voice and sent to you first. It is an operator for one job, not a chatbot.

Do I need to know anything about computers?

No. You describe the work in plain words and we do the configuring. What you touch is one web page and your own email. If you can send an email and order something online, you have everything this asks. Prefer not to open the portal? The weekly summary still arrives by email.

How is this different from the AI assistant I already pay for?

A chat window answers when you ask and forgets you when you close it. This runs on a schedule whether or not you asked, inside your own files, sheets and logins rather than in a text box, and it keeps a written record of how your business runs. Nothing carrying your name goes out until you have read it.

What happens when it gets something wrong?

Anything outside its rules comes to you rather than being guessed at, and every correction goes back into the rules. Nothing leaves your business until you have read it. Where the office itself is at fault, we fix our part and tell you in writing what happened and what we changed. The credit and any direct-cost cap sit in the client agreement you sign before the first payment, and you have it in hand before anything is charged.

What actually gets installed, and does it work on my phone?

Two things, and you only touch one. The office itself is installed for you: on a computer at your business, or on our own servers on the hosted plan. We look after it from there. What you use is the portal, a web page rather than an app, opening in the browser on your phone or the office computer. You sign in with a link emailed to your address, no password. Both screens show the same thread, so a decision can be answered from either.

Why do I pay monthly if it is on my computer?

The program on your machine is the part you could keep. What the monthly pays for is the thinking it does, the rules that decide what waits for you, and the support behind it, plus the updates and the maintenance you never touch. If you stop, the machine still works and your files stay on it, and it stops having someone to think for it.

What if I want to stop?

You cancel and it stops at the end of the month. No minimum term, no notice period, nothing to sit out. The setup is charged once, up front, on both cards, and it is the only thing you pay before the monthly starts. Everything the office produced was already yours. If it is not earning its keep, you should not be paying for it.

Is my business data safe?

Your documents, your customers' details and your numbers stay yours, and are never sold. On the installed plan they sit on the machine at your business; on the hosted plan, on our own servers, backed up daily and reachable only by the two of us. What a job has to read to produce an answer goes to the model provider to be worked on. That is how any AI assistant works, and the sheet you sign at setup says exactly what leaves. Anything you have given us is deleted on request. Your portal is served over HTTPS and carries no ad scripts and no tracking pixels.
