DH STUDIOS AI agents for operations

AI agents for operations

AI agents that run the busywork in operations, built into the tools your team already uses.

We draw each agent on one page, build it into your systems and train your team to run it. A person approves every hand-off.

Workflows, running live

Everyone has AI tools. Few have workflows that run.

Pick a workflow and press Run. Each box is a tool the team already uses. The red step is a person, and here that's you.

THE FOUR PATTERNS — AT DEPTH

What it watches. What it drafts. Who signs.

Every agent has the same three answers written down before it runs. If one of them is missing, it isn't ready — and it doesn't ship.

01

Intake & triage

Every request that lands in a shared inbox, a form, or a ticket queue gets read, classified, and routed to the right person with the context attached.

What it watches
A shared inbox, a web form, a ticketing queue, a voicemail transcript — whatever the requests already arrive through.
What it drafts
A classification (what it is, how urgent, who owns it), the record it belongs to, and a first reply or work order.
Where the person approves
The person who reads that inbox today approves or edits before anything sends or dispatches.
02

Drafting & routing

The agent writes the reply, the quote, or the work order from your templates and your data, then routes it to the person who signs off.

What it watches
Approved intake, a CRM or order system, your templates, your price lists.
What it drafts
The document itself — reply, quote, order, summary — with its sources listed so the approver can check them.
Where the person approves
The owner of the relationship: sales, support, or the manager who signs today.
03

Reporting rollups

Numbers from three systems become one Monday-morning summary — written, checked against last week, and sent for review.

What it watches
Spreadsheets, exports, and the reports people already pull by hand, on the schedule they already keep.
What it drafts
The rollup: totals, deltas against last period, anomalies with a likely cause, and the questions worth asking.
Where the person approves
The person who presents it. Nothing goes to leadership without their read.
04

Dashboards

Live views of the metrics people pull by hand today, built on the systems you already run — no new platform to adopt.

What it watches
The same systems, read on a schedule; the same definitions the team already argues about, written down once.
What it drafts
The dashboard and its data notes: what each number means, where it came from, when it was last refreshed.
Where the person approves
The owner of each metric signs off on its definition before it goes live; the agent never redefines a number.

Sound familiar?

If your team does any of these by hand, we can help.

  • Sorting the shared inbox and forwarding each request01
  • Answering the same questions by email, again and again02
  • Typing up quotes, replies and work orders from scratch02
  • Copying numbers from three systems into one weekly report03
  • Pulling the same figures by hand before every meeting04

The principal

DH Studios builds AI agents for operations. We design, build and integrate AI agents inside the systems a company already uses, and train the team to run them, one workflow at a time. Every agent starts as a one-page drawing, is built to it, and ships only when a person signs. Founded by Drayton Highlander, an industrial engineer, in Cincinnati.

Proof standard

Work

No claim without a receipt. Every number has a baseline, a timeframe and a source; a number that does not exist yet stays a visible placeholder.

Why DH

Four rules we build by

  • Drawn before it's built

    Every agent starts as a one-page drawing: what it watches, what it drafts, who signs and what we measure.

  • Priced before we start

    Each sheet has a fixed scope and a price you agree to before anything is built.

  • Nothing ships without a signature

    A person on your team approves every hand-off. Their step is drawn into every agent.

  • We run on it ourselves

    Our own morning digest and build loop run on the same agents and the same sign-off.

Training

And we train your team to run it.

Every build ends with your people running it. They learn to run the agent, read its log and change it, from a written runbook. New people get refreshers as part of the monthly run.
