Who I help
Automation for agencies and studios
Agency margin goes on work that grows with every client but cannot be billed: reporting, status updates, onboarding, internal checks. Automate that layer and a new client costs you a fraction of an account manager. Leave it alone and each one costs you a whole person.
You probably recognise this
Where the time actually goes
None of these is dramatic on its own. Together they are why the week disappears.
- Every new client adds a fixed block of unbillable admin
- Reporting week is a real thing that everyone dreads
- Account managers spend more time assembling updates than thinking about accounts
- Onboarding quality depends entirely on who runs it
- You have a beautiful process document that nobody follows under pressure
Where to start
In this order, usually
Ordered by payback, not by how interesting they are to build. The first one on this list is where I would put your budget if you only had budget for one.
And when it is not worth it
Why trust a new studio
No client logos yet. Commitments instead.
Lytheo is new, and pretending otherwise would be the fastest way to lose your trust. So here is what goes into every engagement agreement — enforceable, not decorative.
You own everything
Code, workflows, prompts and documentation transfer to you in writing on final payment. Everything runs in accounts registered to you. There is no Lytheo platform you must keep paying for to keep what you bought.
The audit is free, and yours regardless
You leave the first call with a written map of your automatable workflows and what each is worth — whether or not you hire me. If the honest answer is that nothing is worth automating yet, you get that in writing too.
One fixed price, agreed up front
No hourly billing. No change fees for my own misestimates. The price moves only if you change the scope, and only with your written agreement first.
You pay against working software
Milestones are demonstrable systems, not percentages of elapsed time. Nothing is invoiced before it ships.
Your data stays yours
Enterprise API tiers where your inputs are excluded from model training. Least-privilege access. An NDA signed on request before you tell me anything sensitive. On exit, credentials revoked and my working copies deleted.
No lock-in, no notice period
Care plans run month to month. Cancel whenever you like, keep everything, and I hand over cleanly to whoever comes next.
Questions
Agencies — common questions
Yes. White-label work is straightforward — I build it, you own it, and it carries your brand with no reference to Lytheo anywhere in the deliverable. The commercial terms are set out in the engagement agreement before work starts, including whether I am named to your clients at all.
I work as a specialist alongside your people rather than replacing anyone. In practice that means working with whoever owns the process, building around how your team actually operates, and handing over documentation your own staff can maintain. If you have an in-house developer, they get the source and a walkthrough.
It turns a cost you pay every month into one you pay once. If a client report takes ninety minutes and you run twenty accounts, that is thirty hours a month of account-manager time spent moving numbers between systems. The saving grows with every client you win, which is why reporting is almost always the first thing I suggest an agency automates.
