What We Build § 01

AI built for the way Texas actually does business.

The AI most owners keep hearing about, finally built into the tools you already run. Designed by your business, shipped by us, owned by your team after we leave.

Voice

AI voice agents

Phone agents that answer every call, book appointments, qualify leads, and text follow-ups. Your missed-call rate goes to zero.

Chat

AI chat agents

On-site chat and in-app assistants. Answer questions, route requests, and stay open at 2 a.m. Trained on your business, your tone, your docs.

Integrations

Backend automations

Connect the tools you already pay for. Stop pasting between Google Sheets, your CRM, your inbox, and your accounting software.

Internal Tools

Custom AI workflows

Internal tools shaped around how your business actually works. The stuff “no software does what we need” usually becomes a clean build, not a workaround.

Growth

AI marketing & content

Draft, schedule, and ship marketing across email, social, and SEO. Your brand voice, in your queue, on your calendar.

Data

AI reporting & analytics

Pull numbers from every system you run, summarize them in plain English, and surface what matters. Daily, weekly, on demand.

Our Process § 02

Four steps from “AI sounds interesting” to “AI is making us money.”

Same playbook every time, sized to the project. No 60-page decks, no three-month discovery phase, no consultants who disappear after the kickoff.

  1. 01
    Step one · Free

    Discovery call

    A free 30-minute Zoom. We learn your business, the tools you already use, and the parts that are eating your time. No pitch.

  2. 02
    Step two · $799 audit

    Audit & roadmap

    We map every workflow where AI saves time, money, or headcount, with a real number next to each one. You leave with a written plan, whether you hire us or not.

  3. 03
    Step three · Custom build

    Build & integrate

    We build the agent, the automation, or the workflow, and we plug it into the tools you already use. You see progress every week, not just at the end.

  4. 04
    Step four · Hand off

    Train & own it

    Your team gets the keys, the documentation, and one number to call when something needs adjusting. Optional retainer after launch for tuning and new features.

Meet the Founder § 06
TJ Larkin, Founder of Texas AI Lab

TJ Larkin

AI operator. Builder. Texan.

TJ is an AI operator based in Liberty Hill, Texas. He builds AI software, runs a network of newsletters with 145,000+ subscribers, and started Texas AI Lab to close the gap between what AI can do and what most Texas businesses are actually doing with it.

Texas AI Lab is part class, part lab, part watering hole. Built around real problems, real businesses, and the people running them. The goal is plain: turn AI into something a Texas owner can use on Monday morning.

He hosts the free Zoom clinics, runs the in-person meetups, and takes a small number of paid clients each month. If you want a no-pitch hour with someone who builds with AI every day, the clinic is open.
