Chicago AI Studio

Websites + AI for growing businesses

Beautiful Websites.
Smarter Businesses.

We create thoughtful websites, intelligent AI agents, and simple automations that help businesses grow.

Let's Build Something.See pricing

Every site we build can look completely different. It is designed around you, not poured into a template. Underneath, each one runs the same proven features: lead capture, booking requests, an AI receptionist and ongoing care.

What we do

Website Development

Custom, responsive sites designed around your business, not a template: clear services, easy contact, and fast load times on phones.

AI Receptionist and Appointment Scheduling

An AI voice assistant that answers after-hours calls, takes messages, captures leads and can request appointments. It always tells callers it's an AI.

  • Website care. Monitoring, updates and fixes after launch, so your site keeps working.
  • Onboarding that's easy. One short intake form. We track what's missing and keep you updated until launch.
  • Local & straightforward. Chicago-based. Clear packages and straightforward pricing.

Your look, not a template

Every client's site can look completely different. Start from a sample look or build your own; the preview restyles as you choose. Whatever you pick, the features underneath stay the same.

Six sample looks, one set of features

Every look runs on the same features: your contact form, booking requests and the AI receptionist. Pick one and make it yours.

How it works

  1. Free consultation. Tell us about your business and goals.
  2. Draft & preview. We build your site on a private preview link for you to review.
  3. Revisions & approval. Nothing goes live until you approve it.
  4. Launch & care. We publish, then keep it monitored and up to date on a care plan.

How the automation works

Simulation of our workflow A step-by-step picture of what our setup does today. Calendar booking is live on this site: times come from a real calendar and an appointment is confirmed only after the calendar accepts it. Follow-ups are drafted for you to review. Nothing here is a real customer.

Website lead capture

  1. 1Customer inquiryA visitor fills in the form on your website.
  2. 2Spam & duplicate checkA hidden honeypot, a timing check and a duplicate check filter out junk.
  3. 3Lead scoredThe inquiry gets a score and a status so the best leads rise to the top.
  4. 4CRM updateThe lead is saved to your simple CRM with its details.
  5. 5Follow-up draftedA reply is drafted for you. Draft for your review, not sent

Appointment scheduling

  1. 1Customer requestA customer asks for a time, on your website or by phone.
  2. 2Availability checkThe requested time is checked against existing appointments.
  3. 3Owner approvalYou approve or decline the request. Requires your approval
  4. 4Calendar bookingThe calendar event is created only after approval. Live: real calendar event
  5. 5ConfirmationThe customer's confirmation follows your approval. Draft for your review

After-hours AI receptionist

  1. 1Incoming callA customer calls after hours.
  2. 2AI answersIt says it's an AI assistant and asks consent before recording.
  3. 3Understands the requestBooking, new inquiry, message or urgent safety guidance.
  4. 4Hand-offBooking requests go to scheduling, new inquiries to the CRM.
  5. 5Owner summaryA call summary is drafted for you; repeat calls aren't double-logged. Draft, not sent

After hours

The office is closed. The phone still gets answered.

When you've gone home, the AI receptionist picks up, says it's an AI, and turns the call into a request you can approve in the morning. It runs on your hours, not ours.

AI receptionist plans

Answers calls with a standard AI voice, discloses that it's an AI, and announces call recording. Minutes reset monthly.
