Read the case study AI-powered automation for small and midsize businesses
Automation with AI built in, inside the software you already use.
We automate the work between Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Zoho, your CRM and the other tools you rely on. AI handles the judgment steps that used to need a person, from reading documents and routing requests to drafting replies and catching errors, so your team handles the exceptions instead of the busywork. Enterprise AI under business terms, in accounts you own, with a person approving what matters.

Why Ironwood
Practical automation, made smarter with AI
AI inside the tools you own
We start with the AI already in your Copilot, Gemini or Zoho subscription, and build custom tools only where it falls short.
Enterprise AI, business terms
Enterprise models set up in your name, under terms that keep your data out of model training. Never consumer chat apps.
A person approves what matters
Every AI step is logged and visible, and anything important waits for a human sign-off.
You keep the keys
Admin access, documentation and source are yours. Nothing critical runs where you can't see it.
Where AI earns its place
Four automations AI makes possible
Documents in, data out
Invoices and intake forms are read, entered and checked against the purchase order or client file. Mismatches go to a person.
Inbox triage and drafts
Shared-inbox requests are sorted by urgency, routed with the client's history, and answered with a draft someone approves.
Meeting notes to CRM
Every call becomes a summary on the client record, with tasks created and the follow-up email drafted.
Answers from your documents
New hires ask an assistant that answers from your own policies and SOPs, with a link to the source.
