Austin FAQ
Are you based in Austin?+
No — AI Makers LLC is a US company (New Mexico) and Austin clients work with us remotely. Friday demos are booked in CT, so 9 AM your time is a normal slot. Site visits to Austin scheduled per project. Several Austin clients have never met us in person.
Can you sign a BAA / SOC 2 attestation?+
Yes for BAAs, on a per-project basis. Full SOC 2 attestation is for our managed-cloud product (nora.work); for custom builds we deploy into YOUR SOC 2-compliant environment so the attestation is yours.
Do you work with Texas trades businesses?+
Yes — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping. Austin and the wider Texas market is a strong fit for AI receptionist + dispatch automation projects, typically live in 4–6 weeks.
Can you invoice in USD?+
Yes. USD, EUR or GBP. Paid by ACH, wire or Stripe. No surprise currency-conversion charges.
How is an Austin project priced?+
Scope drives it: how many systems the AI connects to, the state of your data, and the edge cases it has to handle. Fixed price for the agreed scope, quoted after a short scoping chat with me. The written quote spells out what's in and what's out, and you own the code.
