AI employees for your business
We build the AI employee your business needs. Then we run it.
Built around your tools, your numbers, and your own rules about what a person sees first. Nothing it does happens without your say-so.

$6,000/month — or $1,000 plus a share, where the result can be measured
These aren't products on a shelf.
Each one was built for a specific business, around the tools it already runs on and its own rules about what a human sees first.
Some clients start with the one job nobody wants to do. Others are rebuilding how the whole company runs, and hire several of these at once. It starts the same way either way — we come and watch.

$6,000
USD per month
One price. However many roles you need.
About what one full-time hire costs, and it starts in weeks rather than months.
- No setup fee
- Cancel any month
Or pay us out of the increase
$1,000
USD per month
Plus a share of the increase, for 12 months.
Rentals qualify. Most businesses don't.
Whether yours does comes down to three things — right below.
We agree the share before we start, never after we see your results.
The terms, in full
- Who decides whether it paid for itself?
- You do. If you say it did not, we refund the 90 days. We are not going to argue with a customer about whether they got value.
- What if I cancel during the 12 months?
- The share stops when you do. You owe nothing on months you did not use.
- What happens after the 12 months?
- The share ends and it becomes a flat monthly fee. We work out the number then, when we both know what this is worth.
- On the share route, what does the refund cover?
- Everything. The three months of fees, and any share owed for that period is written off. You end up where you started.
Prices in US dollars. We invoice internationally.
Plenty of people will promise you a number for anything. Knowing which results we can honestly take credit for is most of what makes the rest of this worth believing.
Paying us out of the increase needs all three of these to be true:
The result shows up as money
Revenue or a cost you can point at on a statement. Not reach, not engagement, not time saved in principle.
There is a clean baseline
Something to compare against that existed before we arrived, and that we agree on in writing beforehand.
Part of your business can stay untouched
Listings we leave alone, priced the way you price them today. The market moves through those too, so the gap between them is the part that is honestly ours.
A rental operator qualifies. An estate agent does not — one sale has too many hands on it to call the result ours.
From your numbers to something doing the work.
Usually about four weeks, counted from the day we have access to your data — not from the day you sign.
We come and watch how you actually work
In your office where we can be, on a screen share where we cannot. We watch the job get done before we build anything, because how a business really runs is never how it is described. Not a questionnaire.
We build the role with you, not for you
You tell us where it is wrong while we are building it, not after. We connect your tools, write the rules around how your business actually operates, and set which decisions need your approval before anything happens.
It starts, and you watch it work
Every recommendation and every entry is visible to you, and any of them can be overruled. Some clients approve every single item for the first month.
We keep tuning it
We adjust it against what actually happened — the bookings, the revenue, the books — not against what we assumed in week one.
What this costs you in time
One person to answer our questions, about an hour a week during the build. After that it should be less time than the work took you before — and if it turns into a daily chore, we have built the wrong thing and we will fix it.
You are paying for the people, not the software.
The software underneath is ours, public and free — anyone can download it. What you are paying for is an engineer who builds it into the shape of your business, and who keeps watching it after it goes live. That is also why leaving is simple: there is no licence to buy back and you do not need our permission to bring in somebody else.
See the softwareA registered company in Sydney, and you talk to the person who runs it.
The walkthrough is with Aaron, who runs OpenOnion. Not a salesperson, and not someone who hands you off afterwards. Our software is public and the community room is open — you can look at both before you spend anything.
The contract is with a real company, in a jurisdiction you can name:
ConnectOnion Pty Ltd
ABN 66 687 768 314 · ACN 687 768 314 · Registered in New South Wales, Australia
OpenOnion is the name we trade under. If you are in Australia or New Zealand we are in your timezone, under law you already know, and close enough to sit down with.
The things people ask before they say yes.
- How much of that 12% was just the market going up?
- Some of it, and nobody can separate the two perfectly — be suspicious of anyone who says they can. What we can do is hold some of your listings back and leave them priced the way you price them today. The market moves through both groups, so the gap between them is the part that is actually ours. We agree on that comparison in writing before we start, so nobody is arguing about it at the end of the year.
- My business is seasonal. What if the 90 days lands in my quiet months?
- Then we compare that quarter against the same quarter last year, not against your peak. We agree which period we are measuring against before the clock starts — for the same reason we agree every other baseline beforehand: so the answer is already settled by the time the question matters.
- I already pay for a pricing tool. Why would I need you?
- If it is working, you probably do not. Those tools give you a rule engine and leave you to run it — which is fine when someone has time to tune it, and is why most people end up back in a spreadsheet. We are the other half: an engineer sets it up around your actual portfolio and we keep adjusting it against what actually happened. If a tool you already pay for would get you there, we will say so on the call.
- What if you do not support the system I use?
- There is no list of supported systems, because it works your screen the way a person would. If someone on your team can do it with a mouse and a login, it can do it — your channel manager, your PMS, the accounting package nobody has an API for. Where a proper connection exists we use that instead, because it is faster and it breaks less often: Airbnb and Booking.com are wired up directly today. Everything else, it clicks through like a person.
- I manage properties for other owners. Does the share route still work?
- Only if you can nominate a control group without needing someone else to agree to it — usually your own units, which is a smaller and less useful sample. If the whole portfolio belongs to owners, take the flat monthly instead. We are not going to ask you to explain a pricing experiment to a landlord on our behalf.
- How much will I actually have to approve?
- For a portfolio the size of ten properties it is a handful of suggestions a day, not a queue. We would rather send you three that matter than thirty you stop opening — a tool you stop opening is a tool that stopped working. You can also raise the threshold so it only surfaces changes above a size you set.
- Have you done my industry before?
- The work we can point to publicly is short-term rentals and bookkeeping. If your industry is not one we have done, we will say so on the call rather than find out at your expense. What carries across is the method, not the specific system.
- You need access to my accounts. Is that safe?
- We take the narrowest access that does the job, we tell you exactly what we can see, and you can revoke it at any time from your side without asking us.
- Could my data end up helping a competitor?
- No. What we learn about how to build these roles is ours. Your numbers, your customers and your operations stay yours, they are not pooled with anyone else, and we will put that in writing before you give us access.
- Will it do things without asking me?
- Only what you have said it can. You set that line — down to the individual platform or type of decision — and you can move it any time.
- What if it gets something wrong?
- It will, eventually. That is why the approval rules exist and why we start with them set tight. When something slips through, we fix it and we tell you what changed — we do not quietly patch it and hope you did not notice.
- My business is small. I cannot pay $6,000 a month.
- Then the second option may be open to you — a thousand a month, and we make the rest only if you make more. It depends on whether your result can be measured cleanly. We will tell you straight on the call.
- Can I stop?
- Any month, and you keep everything we built. There is no notice period and nothing to cancel by phone.
- Can it work in Chinese?
- Yes. In Chinese, in English, or in both at once.
Start with the job nobody on your team wants.
Book a walkthrough and we will go through your actual numbers with you. If we cannot see a way to make you money or save you time, we will say so on the call.
A conversation, not a pitch deck. Bring last year's numbers if you have them.
