An AI Chief of Staff
Each person gets an assistant that knows their role, plans the day and handles the first draft of almost everything.
- Daily priorities and prep
- Drafts emails and replies
- Keeps track of loose ends
For small and family businesses
Give every person on your team their own AI team.
Work smarter, not just harder.
Oak and Vine Labs sets up practical AI inside your business, so your people spend their time on customers and growth instead of busywork.
Sound familiar?
You run a good business. You don't have time to become an AI expert.
Most small businesses know AI could help. Few have someone with the time to figure out where to start, what to trust and how to make it stick.
No one on the team is a tech person
Everyone is busy doing the real work. Nobody owns figuring out AI.
Too many marketing options
LinkedIn, SEO, Google Ads, agencies. It is hard to know what is worth the money.
Busywork eats the day
Quotes, follow ups, emails, scheduling and reports crowd out selling and serving.
Working harder isn't moving the number
You want better margins and cash flow without adding more hours.
How it works
A personal AI team for every employee.
The same playbook we run inside our own business, set up for yours.
Agents for repeat work
Specialist agents take the tasks your team repeats every week and run them in the background.
- Quote and estimate follow up
- Meeting notes into your CRM
- Reports and reminders
Your people stay in charge
AI does the busywork. Your team reviews, decides and spends more time with customers.
- Simple tools, no tech degree
- Hands on training
- Built around how you work
We use it every day
Built and proven in our own business first.
