Built custom, one method
What we build for you
AI integration comes first: we find the work that eats your week and build a system to take it off your plate. The agents, outreach, visibility and conversion engines, and the software underneath are all built the same way.
AI Integration & Automation
We find the work that eats your week, then build a custom AI system to take it off your plate. Anything the AI decides runs on a feedback loop, and anything a customer will see waits for your approval.
Learn more →Autonomous AI Agents
Custom AI agents that run real business workflows end to end — support, research, operations — built on current frontier models and wired into the tools you already use.
Learn more →SEO & AEO Visibility Engine
An autonomous engine that measures where you show up in Google and in AI answers (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini), then writes and ships content to win those queries — every page human-approved, never auto-published.
Learn more →B2B Sales-Outreach Engine
A compliant B2B outbound engine that researches each prospect, personalizes the messaging, and sequences outreach so pipeline builds without the manual grind.
Learn more →Conversion Rate Optimization
Instrumentation for every money page on your site, so you can see where visitors stall, hesitate, or give up. The friction gets ranked by what it actually costs you, you approve each change, and every change is measured against a stored baseline.
Learn more →Web & Custom Software Development
Custom websites, web & mobile apps, and the software that runs your business — from a marketing site to a full custom application with accounts, payments, data, and integrations.
Learn more →Consult, build, then keep it sharp
Most AI projects end at launch and quietly get worse. We start with a consult to find the work worth handing over, do a custom build around how your business runs, and stay on a monthly retainer to manage the data and keep improving the AI. Your data stays in your accounts the whole way.
How AI integration worksHow it works
An engine, not a one-off project
Most AI projects ship once and disappear. Akira builds systems that keep running: your own data, an AI that does the work, and a feedback loop that checks every decision against what happened. Everything we build, from an AI integration to the visibility engine behind this site, runs on this same loop, so it gets sharper instead of stalling.
- 1Capture. Start with your own data — the customers, content, and signals your business actually owns.
- 2Act. An AI agent runs the work — writing, optimizing, answering, reaching out — whatever that engine does.
- 3Measure. Track real outcomes, not vanity metrics.
- 4Refine. Feed the results back in, so the engine gets sharper and compounds over time.
Intelligent by design
Engines with a brain — that you keep in control
Every Akira engine puts an AI agent on the real work — writing content that wins AI search and the posts to promote it, researching and sequencing B2B outreach, or running a support or ops workflow — all from data you own. Whatever the job, nothing ships until you approve it.

We run our own AI systems on this business
The method we sell isn’t a slide deck. It runs this business, and one of those systems runs this site: it measures where Akira shows up in Google and in AI answers, then drafts, quality-gates, and ships the content to close the gaps. All 10 articles on our blog were produced by it and human-approved before going live. If you want to see the work, you’re looking at it.

View →Why Akira
A feedback loop on every AI decision
Anything the AI decides is recorded and checked against what actually happened, and the next round is adjusted from that. It gets sharper instead of drifting.
You approve what customers see
Replies, posts, messages, prices: anything a customer will see waits for a person. That is the reason you can let the system run at all.
Nashville-built, nationally capable
Close enough to sit in your office for the consult, and the same build for a small business across the country.

Meet the teamFrequently asked
Straight answers about putting AI to work in a small business.
- What does Akira Web Solutions do?
- Akira builds custom AI systems that take real work off small businesses' plates: automating routine operations, AI agents that handle a defined job, and the software underneath. It starts with a consult, becomes a custom build, and continues as a monthly retainer to manage the data and keep improving the AI.
- What should a small business automate with AI first?
- Usually the work that repeats, follows rules somebody could write down, and involves reading or producing text: sorting inquiries, answering the same questions, drafting a quote or follow up, moving data between tools. Judgment about a particular customer stays with a person, and one job done well beats everything at once.
- Does the AI make decisions on its own?
- Only inside limits you agree to. Anything the AI decides runs on a feedback loop, so its choices are recorded and checked against what actually happened. Anything a customer will see, like a reply, a post or a message, waits for a person to approve it.
- How much does a custom AI system cost?
- It depends on what the system does, which tools it connects to, and how ready your data is, so we scope it in the consult and quote before any build starts. A headline number before that would not mean anything.
- Who owns the data and the system?
- You do. The data stays in your accounts, and the system is built around your business rather than rented as a seat on someone else's platform.
- How do you get a business to show up in AI search?
- We measure which questions trigger AI answers in your market and who those answers cite, then create answer-first, well-structured content to earn those citations, and re-measure to confirm it is working. We run that same engine on this site.
