16 hours a week.

That's the average time small business owners spend on admin work, which adds up to two full working days every single week. You started this business to do the work you're good at, not to manage the backend that comes with it. We build the systems that handle it for you.

About

The people behind it.

We're Hannah and Quan. We built our first business by going all-in on AI automation, testing and refining every system until it could practically run itself. Now we build those same systems for small businesses.

Events HQ, our first company, now runs almost entirely on AI systems we built from scratch. Getting there took months of work: long days, real money, and a lot of frustration. We refused to quit until it worked. Most business owners simply don't have the time to dedicate to something like this. They're going to keep running their business the way they always have. That's what Shift House Studios is for.

It may seem silly that each agent has a name and a photo since they are not real people. It is actually one of the most useful things we do. When you are working with multiple AI agents every day, naming them makes it easy to know who owns what, who has which files, and who is responsible for which part of the business. Plus, it is genuinely fun!

Built by owners.
For owners.

We've been where you are. That's the only reason we can build what we build.

FAQs

How do I know if this is the right move for my business?+
That's exactly what the discovery call is for. It's 30 minutes, no pitch, no pressure, just a conversation about your business and what's eating your time. We'll discuss options and capabilities, and figure out together if it's the right fit.
What if AI is completely new to me?+
Our job is to understand it so you don't have to. By the time it lands on your end, the heavy lifting is already done. You're just running your business, with a system handling the parts that were eating your time.
How does the process work?+
Every project starts with a discovery call where we learn about your business, your systems, and what's holding you back. From there, we build a custom proposal, present you with your options, and work through the details together. We handle the entire build and testing process. Delivery includes a full handoff and 30 days of post-launch support. After that, an optional monthly retainer keeps your systems maintained as your business grows.
What does a typical timeline look like?+
It depends on the scope of the project. A single workflow or automation can typically be live within a few days. A focused agent build runs about a week. A full operations suite takes longer, since discovery alone is thorough and we don't start building until we fully understand your business. Every project gets a specific timeline on the proposal call so you know exactly what to expect before anything starts.
What kind of results can I expect?+
Every business is different, so results depend on what we build. What most clients notice first is time. Hours that were going to follow-up, scheduling, and admin start coming back. The missed calls get handled. The follow-ups go out. The things that were falling through the cracks stop falling. The goal is to get you back to the work you actually started your business to do. We set specific, realistic expectations on the proposal call before we build anything.
What does something like this typically cost?+
Every project is scoped specifically to your business, so pricing varies. Builds start at $500 and go up from there depending on what we're building and how complex your workflows are. Everything is quoted after the discovery call based on exactly what your business needs.
What if I need help after everything is set up?+
Every build includes 30 days of post-launch support. If something needs adjusting or you have questions while you're getting settled, we're there. After that, we offer an optional monthly retainer for ongoing maintenance, updates, and adjustments as your business evolves. You're never just handed something and left on your own.

What to expect.

01

You fill out a short form

Six questions, about three minutes. We ask upfront so the call isn’t spent on basics, and so we know before we get on the phone whether we can actually help.

02

We review and reach out within 24 hours

Hannah reviews every form personally. If it looks like a fit, she’ll reach out to schedule your discovery call. If she needs more info first, she’ll ask.

03

30-minute discovery call

No pitch, no slides. We ask questions and listen. The goal is to understand exactly what’s costing you time and money, not to sell you anything on this call.

04

We build your proposal

After the call, we map your specific pain points to the workflows and agents that would actually fix them. One recommendation, not a menu of options.

05

We walk you through it. You decide.

Second call. We show you what we’d build, how it solves your problems, and what it costs. You leave with everything you need to make a decision. No pressure either way.
