Two builds. One owner.

CBus AI Agents has two builds. The Personal AI Agent Build is $4,000 plus $450/month for 3 months of weekly training. The Business AI Agent Build is $8,000 plus $800/month for 3 months of weekly training, and includes the Personal build for the owner. A Hardware Setup add-on (laptop, SSD, secure configuration) is available at $3,500 with either build for Central Ohio engagements. Each additional business under the same owner is $5,000. Two modifiers: $1,000 to add a second operator to the Business Build, and a 20% premium on build fees for remote engagements outside Central Ohio.

The Personal Build is for the owner — a custom AI agent system built around your goals, calendar, content, and daily work, in your own Obsidian vault. The Business Build includes everything in the Personal build, plus a transferable agent system for one company with 1–2 custom core agents (proposal generator, pipeline standup, post-close follow-up — whichever moves the needle for you). Personal trains the owner. Business equips the company.

Training begins once your build is delivered — either when hardware is handed over, or when the software package is zipped and transferred. The clock does not run during the build phase, so you get the full 3 months of training on a working system.

Personal Build: a weekly 60-minute session, owner only. Business Build: a weekly 90-minute session with the owner and one key operator. Sessions can be virtual or in person. We work through real questions, real workflows, and real edits to your agents — not generic tutorials. Sessions adapt to where you actually are in the build.

Your last training session is an exit interview. If you are ready to run independently, you do — you own the system outright, no monthly fees, no platform lock-in. If you want continued work together, we scope a new agreement based on what you actually need next. No auto-renewals.

The Business AI Agent Build is priced for one business. Owners with multiple companies can add additional businesses at $5,000 each, since each one needs its own agent system, voice rules, and operator handoff. Each business in the package gets owner + one key operator in training, with the option to add a second operator for $1,000. The Personal Build for the owner is shared across the businesses — you only pay for it once.

The Business Build includes the owner and one key operator in the weekly 90-minute training. We add a second operator for $1,000 — covers their voice intake, template review pass, and the install handoff. The cap is one add-on per business entity, so the working group is owner plus up to two operators. We have found that smaller training groups stay focused on the actual workflows and ship faster than larger ones.

Yes, with a 20% premium on build fees. The premium reflects the extra coordination work — multi-operator voice review, async install support, and the higher number of touchpoints required to do it well at distance. The premium applies to the $4,000 Personal, $8,000 Business, and $5,000 per-additional-business fees. Monthly training and the per-operator add-on are not marked up. Hardware Setup is not offered remote — those engagements are software-only. Local Central Ohio clients get the standard rate.

Hardware is a separate $3,500 add-on, available for Central Ohio engagements only. That fee covers a new laptop selected to match your OS preference (MacBook or Lenovo), an external SSD, password management, secure configuration, and full setup — delivered ready to use. Most clients use the Hardware Setup when they want a sandboxed, higher-security device separate from their daily personal machine. Remote engagements run on the owner's existing machine — software-only.

The Personal Build includes a Personal Dashboard build-kit — the folder structure and instructions your agents need to build your own founder dashboard. We do not ship a finished dashboard, because every owner's priorities, metrics, and domain setup are different. With the kit and your agents, you can have one running on a domain you own — not on our infrastructure.

No. We configure everything and train you in plain English. Most of our clients are small business owners with zero tech background. You interact with the output, not the infrastructure.
