Agentic systems tethered to real operations
AI agents that run your operations
I build AI agents that run the operations your team is drowning in. Live in 30–60 days.
Years in operations leadership
Businesses run daily with agents
Agents running in production
A live view of an agent at work: emails, forms, documents, and deadlines come in; the agent reads, decides, and acts; finished work lands in your systems — and judgment calls are escalated to you.
What is an agent?
A digital employee with one job — and no breaks.
Unlike a chatbot you have to prompt, an agent watches your systems, makes decisions, and takes action on its own. One agent might triage every email that hits your inbox. Another might draft session notes from your therapist's voice memos. Another might keep your CRM in sync without a human ever touching it.
Watches your systems
Listens to email, forms, files, databases, and chat — 24/7.
Makes decisions
Classifies, routes, summarizes, prioritizes, escalates when it should.
Takes action
Updates records, sends responses, fills systems, books meetings.
Sound familiar?
These are the kinds of operational drag I see every week. Each one is an agent waiting to be built.
- Your AM is copy-pasting client info between Gmail and your CRM all week.
- Intake forms pile up on Mondays because no one has time to triage them.
- Your team rebuilds the same status report in Excel every week.
- You can't justify a full-time hire just to handle the busywork.
Operator-built
“We use what we build.”
Every agent we deploy for clients has already proven itself running real operations — not in a sandbox, not in a demo.
Built by operators, not consultants.
I run operations at a $12M environmental consulting firm, and co-own a 20-person ABA therapy practice. I've deployed 20+ agents across those businesses — every one of them in production today.
Tethera builds agents the same way: deployed against real operational drag, tuned in production, and only then offered to clients facing similar problems.

Questions
Frequently asked
What's an agent vs. just using ChatGPT?+
ChatGPT waits for you to ask. An agent runs in the background, watches your systems, and takes action on its own. You build it once and it works while you sleep.
Do I need technical knowledge to work with you?+
No. I translate everything into practical steps for your team and handle the technical details myself.
How long does an agent take to deploy?+
Most agents are live in 30-60 days from kickoff, depending on integration complexity.
What tools do you use?+
Whatever fits — leading models, Zapier, Make, n8n, custom code. I pick based on what your business already runs on, not what's trendy.
Is my data secure?+
Yes. I choose tools that meet your compliance needs, minimize data exposure, and document handling practices for your records.
What kind of ROI should I expect?+
Typical returns come from reclaimed hours, faster turnaround, and removed errors. Every agent build comes with dollar estimates before you commit.
What if an agent breaks or makes a mistake?+
Every agent is built with a human-in-the-loop checkpoint by default. You see what it's about to do before it does it, until you trust it enough to take the training wheels off. I also monitor agents I've built for you and tune them as your operations change.
What about security and my client data?+
I pick tools that match your compliance needs (HIPAA, SOC2, state privacy laws), minimize data exposure by design, and document handling practices for your records. If a workflow needs specific certifications, that constraint drives the tool selection from day one.
