AI automation FAQ
Questions we get asked
Short answers on what AI can automate, what it costs and who owns the result.
What does Stable Theory do?
We build AI agents, automations, internal tools and custom software for businesses. They connect to the systems you already run and take over repetitive operations work such as data entry, billing, reconciliation and reporting. See what we build.
Can AI automate billing and invoicing?
Yes, in many cases. If your charges follow rules based on activity recorded in the systems you already use, software can calculate and post them. An AI agent can handle the cases that need judgment and send the unusual ones to a person. For example, each night the system reads the day's recorded work, applies each customer's rates, posts the charges to your billing system, and leaves a short list of anything that didn't fit a rule for a person to review in the morning. See billing and operations automation.
How much does it cost to build an AI agent for my business?
It depends on the work. Four things drive most of the cost: how many systems the agent has to connect to, how many rules and exceptions the task has, how much volume it handles, and how much of the output a person needs to review. We work on an ongoing weekly basis, not as a one-off fixed project, so you can start with one task and add more. Tell us what you want automated and we'll give you a straight answer on scope and cost.
Who owns the code?
You do. Everything we build for you is yours: the code, the automations and the dashboards.
What kinds of businesses do you work with?
Small and mid-size companies in most industries, from real estate to e-commerce. If your team does repetitive work by hand, we can probably help.
Do we have to replace the systems we use now?
No. We build on top of the systems you already run and connect the ones that don't talk to each other.
What if no existing tool does what we need?
Then we build it. We develop custom software as well as agents and automations, and you own what we build for you.
Do we need technical staff to work with you?
No. We need someone who knows how the work gets done today. We handle the technical side.
How long before we see something working?
It depends on your systems, so we don't publish a fixed timeline. We work in short cycles and aim to put a working tool in front of you early.
Which AI models do you use?
Claude and other leading models. We pick the one that fits each task.
What happens after something is built?
We work with clients on an ongoing weekly basis, so fixing and improving what we've built is part of the work.
Where is Stable Theory based?
Brooklyn, New York. More on the About page.
