AI Automation Agency in Tampa, Florida — Custom AI Agents That Run Your Business 24/7
Horsiq is a Tampa, FL AI automation agency that builds custom AI agents, chatbots, and workflow automations for Florida small businesses — clinics, home services, restaurants, and real estate. Projects are fixed-price, you own the code, and most ship in 2–4 weeks. Founder Alex Trojan works on every build end to end.
An AI automation agency builds and ships the software that takes routine work off your team — answering calls, booking appointments, qualifying leads, moving data between tools, and reporting. Horsiq does this for Tampa Bay and Florida small businesses as a single accountable operator: we scope the highest-ROI automation first, build it on your own accounts, and hand you full ownership. No agency overhead, no per-seat platform tax.
Custom AI agents, chatbots, and automation — built for how your business actually runs.
Generic AI doesn't understand your pricing, your customers, or your edge cases — which is why most off-the-shelf pilots die in a tab no one opens. We build agents calibrated to your operation, then wire them into the tools you already use. Here's what Florida businesses hire us to build.
- 01
Custom AI agents
Agents that read live context, make a decision, and take action across your stack — qualify a lead, update a CRM record, route a request, draft a reply. Trained on how your business works before they touch a single workflow. More on AI automation →
- 02
Chatbots & support agents
Chat agents that answer the questions your staff types out forty times a week, pulled from your real knowledge base — not a generic script. Deflect the repetitive tickets so your people handle the ones that matter.
- 03
AI voice agents (booking & support)
Voice agents that pick up when the front desk is busy or closed, answer common questions, and book appointments straight into your calendar. In a Florida market with year-round demand, every missed call is a job your competitor booked.
- 04
Workflow automation
End-to-end flows built on n8n with the Claude and OpenAI APIs, wiring 1,000+ connectors and your existing tools together. Lead arrives → enriched → routed → notified → followed up, without anyone touching a spreadsheet.
- 05
CRM & lead automation
Automations that capture, score, and follow up on every lead, wired into your CRM — or a custom CRM we build to fit how you actually work, in about three weeks. More on custom CRM / ERP →
- 06
On-premise confidential mode
For firms that can't let data leave the building, we build stationary agents on local open-source models (Llama, Mistral via Ollama) running on your own hardware, inside your network. No cloud, no API exfiltration, full audit log.
A real Tampa operator, not a ticket queue.
Most automation agencies are a Slack channel and a monthly invoice — and a surprising number of the firms ranking for "AI agency Tampa" run thin city pages from out of state or out of the country. Horsiq is operated from Tampa by founder Alex Trojan. We're in the same time zone, the same traffic, the same hurricane season. When something needs a conversation, we have it in person — at your office in Westshore, over coffee in Hyde Park, or wherever your business lives.
Local also means we understand the market you're selling into: tourist seasonality on the beaches, the snowbird calendar, the difference between a lead from South Tampa and one from Wesley Chapel. That context gets built into every agent prompt, every booking flow, every automation we ship.
And because we're owner-operated, the person you talk to is the person who builds. No account managers, no handoffs, no telephone game — and you own everything: the code, the accounts, the API keys. There is no platform lock-in.
Built for the businesses that run Tampa Bay.
Clinics & dental — appointment reminders, no-show recovery, intake automation, insurance verification, and voice booking. The average clinic loses thousands a month to empty chairs; the fix is mostly plumbing, and we build HIPAA-aware plumbing.
Home services — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing. After-hours voice booking, dispatch, quote generation, and review automation. In a market with year-round AC season, every missed call is a booked job lost to a competitor.
Restaurants — reservation voice agents, review responses, social posting, and loyalty flows. Wired into Toast, Square, OpenTable, or Resy — whatever's already on the counter.
Real estate teams — lead qualification, instant response, document automation, CRM cleanup, and follow-up sequences that actually follow up across the long sales cycle.
Auto & professional services — booking, intake, quoting, and the back-office follow-up that swallows admin hours. Anywhere a manual process repeats, an agent can run it.
We name the number before we build, then we move it.
Every engagement starts by naming the metric the automation should move — calls answered, no-shows reduced, hours saved, leads qualified, follow-ups sent. We don't build automation that can't point at a number. The kind of outcome our work targets is concrete: a support workflow that cuts repetitive tickets, a clinic CRM shipped in weeks rather than months, an after-hours voice agent that converts missed calls into booked appointments.
You can read how we approach two of these in detail: an AI agent that cut support tickets and a clinic CRM we shipped in three weeks. After launch we track the metric we named and stay on call for 30 days while the system settles into real usage across Hillsborough and Pinellas County operations.
A fast-growing metro where small operators win on speed.
The Tampa Bay metro is one of Florida's largest and fastest-growing economies, anchored by Tampa's Westshore office corridor and the Water Street build-out, with a dense base of clinics, home-services firms, restaurants, and real-estate teams across Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties.
For a small business here, the constraint is rarely demand — it's capacity. The phone rings while you're on a job; leads go cold over the weekend; the back office eats the hours you should spend selling. That's exactly the gap AI automation closes, and why a local operator who can move in weeks beats a national platform that ships a generic template.
Discovery to launch, on a clock.
- Step 01
Audit
A free 30-minute call. We find the routine work bleeding the most hours and the highest-leverage place to start, and name the metric it should move. If automation doesn't pay back, we tell you.
- Step 02
Scope & train
We learn how your business actually operates — your tools, your numbers, your edge cases — and turn that into the context the agent will run on. You get a fixed-price quote before any code ships.
- Step 03
Build
Agent and workflows built on your infrastructure — your accounts, your data, your hosting (or on-prem hardware if that's the mode). You own it from day one.
- Step 04
Ship & handover
Live with monitoring, escalation paths, and recorded walkthroughs. We track the metric we named and stay on call 30 days while it settles into real usage.
We pick from the tools that work, not the ones with the biggest marketing budgets — and for confidential builds, everything runs on your own hardware.
Fixed price, quoted up front. You own everything.
Pricing varies by scope, but our posture doesn't: every project is fixed-price and quoted before we build — no hourly meter, no per-seat licenses, no platform tax. As a guide to typical ranges for a Florida small business:
- Entry automations (review automation, lead intake) — typically $1,500–$3,000 one-time.
- After-hours voice booking agent — typically $4,000–$8,000.
- Full stack (voice, dispatch, quotes, reviews) — typically $10,000–$18,000 over 4–6 weeks.
Ongoing run cost is usually just API usage — often $50–$500/month depending on volume — or near-zero in on-prem mode. For a full breakdown of what drives the price, see our AI automation agency cost guide, or read the AI automation guideif you're still scoping where to start.
