Search "ai automation agency."
You get hire-me sales pages. You get YouTube courses. You get listicles of agencies to buy from.
Almost nobody ships a forkable agent.
That agent should already run the offer people are shouting about right now: a ~$999 AI tools assessment for small businesses. Free teaser first. Your Stripe. You still own every cold send and every paid deliverable.
That is the AI Automation Agency template on jurniti.
Hermes. Its own microVM. Not a PDF syllabus.
The problem is not "what to sell"
You already know the loud playbook.
Greg Isenberg and Corey Ganim's $999 AI Tools Assessment episode is the current siren. Discovery call, AI-assisted analysis, stupid-simple client report. About 87k views in the last research window for a reason.
The problem is operating the loop.
- Blank page for prospecting
- Spreadsheets for suppression
- "I'll wire Stripe later"
- Teaser copy that never leaves Notes
- Delivery that starts after the payment, from zero, at 11pm
Do the math on one client.
| Step | DIY drag |
|---|---|
| Prospect 20 local businesses | 2–4 hrs |
| Write 20 teaser mini-audits | 4–8 hrs |
| Set safe send + unsubscribe | 1–2 hrs |
| Wire Stripe Payment Link + fulfillment check | 2–4 hrs |
| Draft paid report after the call | 2–3 hrs |
| Package one automation handoff | 2–4 hrs |
That is a full work week before you have a machine that runs twice.
Courses do not remove that week. They sell you another tab of modules.
What an AI automation agency is (operator language)
Not job-board "AI consultant" fluff.
It is a service business.
- Find SMBs with repetitive work
- Prove value before the invoice (teaser from public info)
- Sell a fixed-price audit
- Deliver a report + one concrete automation handoff
- Optionally open a retainer
Search demand is real.

What the template actually runs
Fork ai-automation-agency.
Hermes works this loop: find → tease → outreach → get paid → audit → deliver → handoff.
- Prospects local businesses in a niche + city (home services by default) from public info only.
- Teases 2–3 AI opportunities in hours and dollars reclaimed. Free mini-audit inline in email. No attachment spam.
- Guards every send through one path: suppression ledger, daily cap, CAN-SPAM footer, secret scan.
- Charges on YOUR Stripe with a restricted key and Payment Link. Fulfillment unlocks only when session, client, amount, and currency match.
- Fulfills the audit after your discovery call notes: 3–7 tool prescriptions with hours-reclaimed math shown.
- Hands off one automation (n8n blueprint + plain-English runbook) plus a retainer draft if you want the next conversation.
You still do the discovery call.
The agent does not replace the relationship. It replaces the blank page and the duct-taped scripts.
Human gates are the product
Most "agency bots" want unsupervised send.
This template refuses that fantasy on purpose.
| Gate | Who owns it |
|---|---|
| Cold email send | Guarded send path + caps. Not free-fire cron. |
| Client paid deliverable | APPROVED marker only you can create |
| Card / spend | Not this template. Different product if you need it. |
If you want lights-out spam, you are in the wrong gallery.
Same doctrine as the GTM collection: agents draft. Humans send.
Why a microVM instead of a laptop and Zapier
Zapier wires apps. A course gives slides.
A jurniti template forks a paid Firecracker microVM with Hermes already installed, skills on disk, and isolation from other tenants.
- Provisioning is minutes, not a weekend of "set up my stack."
- The agent keeps running when your laptop sleeps.
- BYOK model keys. jurniti does not mark up tokens in v1.
No free trial. No free tier.
First purchase: 30-day money-back guarantee. Model spend and Stripe fees stay yours.
Fit / not fit
You fit if three things are true.
You can hold a discovery call and approve deliverables. You want a concrete $999-style AI audit offer for local SMBs. You will set mailbox + Stripe keys after fork.
You do not fit if three other things are true.
You want fully hands-off sending or delivery. You only want rev-share marketplaces with no service work. You need a non-Hermes harness (this template is Hermes).
That filter is intentional.
Buyers who want autopilot spam churn. Operators who own the call stay.
Next step
Name a niche and a city.
Fork the template. Set keys. Send the first teaser to your own inbox before any real prospect sees it.
That is an AI automation agency you can operate. Not another course tab.
