The AI runs on your side too. Via your business AI plan, or private AI with Amazon Bedrock in your own Amazon cloud account.

An example build. Everything, including the AI, runs in accounts you control. We build and support it from outside.

Choosing the tools

Do you always build something custom?

No. Aurora Designs starts with the tools you already have. Every fix is decided in the audit: adopt, buy, or build, in that order.

How we pick each fix
  1. Adopt Use a tool you already ownNo new spend If it can do the job properly. Often a feature to switch on, or one your team never learned.
  2. Buy You buy an off-the-shelf toolYour subscription We compare options on price, features, and integrations. You buy only if one beats building.
  3. Build We build what is missingOne-time fixed fee Custom links between your tools, or something new. Fast with AI, and yours to keep.

How it works

Workflows or AI agents?

Most builds use both. Workflows handle anything exact; agents read, decide, and draft.

  • 33%of enterprise software will include agentic AI by 2028, up from under 1% in 2024, according to Gartner.
Workflow

A fixed recipe

TRIGGERNew formCreate recordFile documentsNotify ownerSame steps, same order, every time
Best for moving data, filing, syncing, and calculations.
AI agent

A goal, tools, and memory

Agent Goal: qualify leads ToolsCRM, email, web MemoryHow you work QuestionsFrom your team ActionsDrafts, then more
Best for research, triage, and drafting. It starts with drafts you approve, and takes on more as you trust it.

What we set up

What kinds of systems do you build?

Aurora Designs builds six kinds of systems, often combined. Each runs inside the tools you already use.

Workflow automation

Your tools, connected. Nobody types or files the same thing twice.

Agentic assistants

AI does the first pass on research, scoring, and drafts. A person checks it.

Dashboards

Numbers from several systems on one screen.

Before we build

What do we agree on before building?

Everything below, in writing. It comes from the audit report, one page per opportunity.

  • What it doesAnd what it does not
  • Today vs. afterEach step, before and after
  • The approachAdopt, buy, or build
  • Tools and running costWhat it runs on, per month
  • What changes for your teamWhat they stop and start doing
  • Your team’s timeWhat we need from you
  • How long it takesStart to handoff
  • Risks and safeguardsWhat could go wrong, and the check

Your data

Where does your data live?

In your accounts, not ours. We set up approved AI tools your team can use safely.

  • 78%of AI users bring their own AI tools to work, according to Microsoft’s 2024 Work Trend Index.
Where it runs
In your accounts. We avoid hosting anything on our side.
AI training
Business plans from the major AI providers don’t train on your data by default.
Private AI
Amazon Bedrock runs AI models inside your own Amazon cloud account, so your data stays there.
What the AI sees
Only what each step needs.
Your core systems
Read-only unless we agree otherwise.
Sensitive data
Stays where it is. Your IT team sets the rules.

Accuracy

What if the AI makes a mistake?

It will sometimes, so we build in checks. A person stays in the loop wherever it matters.

  • 40%+of agentic AI projects will be cancelled by 2027, partly over weak risk controls, according to Gartner.
  • A person approvesBefore anything reaches a customer or your books.
  • It flags what it is unsure ofOdd cases wait for a person.
  • Tested on your workRun on real examples before it goes live.
  • Rules where it must be exactPrices and totals come from rules, not AI.
  • Estimates are labelledKept apart from verified facts.
  • It fails loudlySomeone gets an alert.
What we don't do

Run servers, manage networks, or take over your core systems. When a project needs that, we work with your IT team.

Questions

Common questions about building

Usually not. We start with the tools you already pay for.

No. We also work with ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot, and build on whatever you have chosen.

Each build has a fixed price agreed before we start, typically $3,500 to $25,000 CAD. No hourly billing.

It depends on the tools. The audit estimates it per month first, and you pay the providers directly, with nothing added.

Not with the limits we set. Access is read-only by default, and changes go through a person.

Yes. You can start with a single quick win from the audit.

Every build starts with an audit.

We find what is worth building first, then quote a fixed price for it.
