AI automation that reaches production — and stays there.

An AI automation agency designs, builds, integrates, and operates intelligent systems that perform repetitive or judgment-light business tasks automatically — such as processing documents, answering customers, routing leads, or reconciling data. Unlike a software platform you license, an agency like 10Turtle owns the build and the outcome, including the integration, governance, and ongoing operation.

It depends on the task. Use deterministic workflow automation for high-volume, well-defined steps (near-zero error). Use AI automation when a step needs to read, classify, or draft something. Use autonomous AI agents when the system must decide what to do and in what order. Most businesses use a blend; 10Turtle recommends the safest, most reliable option for each task rather than over-engineering.

In 2026, a typical AI readiness audit runs about $5,000–$15,000, small pilot automations roughly $5,000–$15,000, mid-market integrated systems around $20,000–$100,000, and enterprise deployments $250,000+, with ongoing support retainers commonly $2,000–$15,000/month for monitoring, maintenance, and optimization * (representative 2026 industry pricing, pending verification). 10Turtle scopes a fixed price after the audit, tied to a defined ROI metric.

Most AI pilots fail to reach production not because the model is weak, but because of messy data, brittle integrations, no monitoring, and no accountable owner after launch * (a 70–90% pilot-to-production failure rate is cited across 2026 analyses). 10Turtle engineers for production from day one — fixing data and integrations first, shipping with governance and drift monitoring, and owning the system after go-live.

A focused audit typically takes 2–4 weeks. Many production automations now ship in roughly 6–10 weeks, depending on data readiness, integration complexity, and how many edge cases need handling * (representative 2026 timelines). We sequence the highest-ROI workflow first so you see value early.

Yes — security and governance are built in, not bolted on. Every deployment uses least-privilege access, audit trails, human-in-the-loop controls, and monitoring, aligned to enterprise frameworks including ISO 27001, ISO/IEC 42001, the NIST AI RMF, and the EU AI Act * (alignment pending verification). We design systems to keep your data governed and your AI accountable.

Both. We are experts in re-engineering and re-automating systems that stalled or break — auditing why they failed and rebuilding them for production — as well as building entirely new systems from scratch. The same dedicated AI team handles both paths.

We build on the leading models and platforms as partners — including Anthropic's Claude as a partner, not a dependency — and orchestrate across the automation tools you already use, such as n8n, Zapier, Make, UiPath, and Salesforce Agentforce. Systems are engineered to stay portable so you're never locked to a single model or vendor.

10Turtle runs dedicated Web, Branding, and AI teams under one accountable roof. Your AI automation can plug directly into websites and brand systems we also build — one partner, specialist teams, no vendor finger-pointing.
