Stop losing leads to slow follow-up.

Most small businesses lose the sale to whoever responds first. I build the AI systems that answer, follow up, and book appointments in under a minute, even when you're the one running the whole show.

No pitch deck. We'll look at where leads slip through and whether AI is the right fix.

The real problem

You don't have a lead problem. You have a follow-up problem.

01

The card in the drawer

You meet someone great at a mixer. Their card goes in a drawer, and three weeks later the moment is gone.

02

The form nobody answered

A lead fills out your contact form at 8 PM. By the time you reply the next afternoon, they've booked with someone else.

03

The call that went to voicemail

You're with a client, on a job site, or finally eating lunch. The phone rings once, and that caller moves on to the next name on Google.

None of this is a people problem. It's a timing problem, and timing is exactly what AI is good at.

What I build

AI that does the busywork, so you can do the work.

Every system is built around how your business already runs. You keep the relationships. The AI handles the speed and the repetition.

AI voice receptionist & speed-to-lead

A natural-sounding voice agent that answers your line, calls new leads back within a minute, answers common questions, and books the appointment.

Built for: wellness providers, medical and dental practices, home services

Workflow automation

The copy-paste jobs between your email, forms, calendar, CRM, and spreadsheets, connected and running on their own with Make.com.

Example: a weekly pipeline that pulls events from five chamber calendars into one Google Calendar

AI follow-up that sounds like you

Personal, specific follow-up emails and texts drafted from your notes, so every contact hears back while the conversation is still fresh.

Example: AfterShake, my own follow-up app on iPhone and Android

Safe AI for confidential work

AI workflows for law firms, accountants, and other practices where client data can't leak, designed by someone whose PhD is in data security.

Example: AI document workflows inside Filevine and Microsoft 365 for a personal injury firm

Hi Marcus, it was a pleasure meeting you at the Liberty Hill Chamber mixer last night. You mentioned how hard it is to return calls when you're on job sites all day...

My app

Meet AfterShake.

I handed out thirty business cards at my first chamber events. One person followed up. So I built the tool I wished everyone had: scan a card, add a line about what you talked about, and get a personal follow-up email you can send before you leave the parking lot.

  • Snap a card and the contact fills itself in
  • AI drafts a follow-up about your actual conversation
  • Sends from your own email app. Free to start.

About Dr. Julia
"You provide the soul. AI provides the scale."

I'm Julia Albath, and I help small business owners put AI to work without losing the personal touch that made them successful in the first place.

Most AI consultants come from marketing. I come from computer science. My doctoral research was in cryptography and secure multi-party computation, which means when you ask "is my client data safe with this?", you get a real answer.

I'm based in Leander and I'm a regular at chamber events across Central Texas. If you see me at a mixer, come say hi.

FAQ

Questions people ask at mixers.

I'm not technical. Is this for me?

Yes. That's the whole point. You tell me how your business runs and where things fall through the cracks. I handle the technical side and show you exactly how to use what I build, in plain language.

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

Small service businesses, usually with a handful of people wearing a lot of hats: wellness and medical practices, law firms, home services, consultants, and professional services. If leads come in by phone, form, or handshake, I can probably help.

How long does a project take?

Most first builds are live within a few weeks. We start with one focused problem, like missed calls or slow follow-up, so you see results quickly instead of waiting on a big overhaul.

How much does it cost?

It depends on what we build. After a free discovery call I'll give you a fixed, written quote so there are no surprises. The audit and the first call are always free.

Is my customer data safe?

Data security is my academic background, so I take this seriously. I choose tools and set up systems so client information stays where it belongs, and I'll explain exactly where your data goes before anything is turned on.

Will AI make my business feel robotic?

Not if it's done well. AI handles the speed and the repetition. You stay the voice, the judgment, and the relationship. You provide the soul, AI provides the scale.
