feat: AI Agent Manager Service Page & Pilot Program

AI Agent Manager Service Page & Pilot Program

Overview

Build a dedicated /agents page on squamishai.com. Update the index page to link to it. Ship it so Aaron can show it to local prospects.

This is a marketing hypothesis — frame as “pilot program” with limited availability.

Page Sections (in order)

1. Hero

Headline: “The AI department your business can actually afford” Subhead: “I build, run, and improve AI agents for your business. You get the results — blog posts, research, processed data — without learning a single tool.” CTA: “Let’s Talk” → #contact

2. The Problem

“AI tools are powerful but they’re built for tech people. You shouldn’t have to become one to benefit from them. That’s where I come in.”

3. How It Works (3 steps)

  1. Discovery — We meet, I learn your business, I identify what to automate
  2. Build — I design and deploy agents tailored to your workflows
  3. Deliver — You get results weekly. First agent running within one week of kickoff.

Design: large step numbers (text-6xl font-bold opacity-20), progressive top-border accent (border → primary → accent) to show sequence.

4. What Agents Can Do (outcomes grid)

Copy
Your blog writes itself every week. Fresh posts that sound like you, published on schedule.
Social media that doesn’t eat your evenings. Drafted, reviewed, ready to post.
Know what your competitors are doing. Weekly intel in your inbox.
Invoices sorted, categorized, flagged. Your bookkeeper gets clean data.
A weekly snapshot of your business. Clear numbers, plain English.
Turn 200 Google reviews into 3 action items. Patterns you’d never spot manually.

Show 4-6. End with: “Every business is different — I’ll figure out what moves the needle for yours.”

5. Pilot Program Callout

“Currently accepting 3 pilot clients. Each pilot runs for 90 days. I build and manage your AI agents, cover all costs, and we see the results together. If it’s working, we continue. If not, you walk away — no contracts, no pressure.”

Guarantee: “$500 for the first month — if it doesn’t save you 5 hours a week, I’ll refund you.”

6. Pricing Tiers

Three cards. Highlight Growth as “Recommended” (left border accent in --brand-color-primary, background --brand-color-primary-subtle).

StarterGrowthScale
Price$500/mo$1,500/mo$3,000+/mo
Agents2-35-8Custom scope
DeliveryWeekly emailDaily email + SlackDaily + priority
SupportEmailEmail + SlackDedicated channel + strategy calls

All tiers include: API costs, engineering, monitoring, improvements, and a real human making sure things work.

Pricing anchor: “A part-time hire costs $3,000/mo before benefits. For $500/mo, you get 2-3 AI agents plus a human making sure it’s actually good.”

Per-card CTAs: filled button on Growth, ghost/outline on Starter and Scale. All link to #contact.

7. Why Me (trust signals)

  • “Based in Squamish. We can meet for coffee and talk about your business.”
  • “I cover all API and infrastructure costs. If the agents aren’t delivering, I’m losing money too.”
  • “Anyone can spin up an AI. The value is knowing when to trust it and when to override it.”
  • “Cancel anytime. No contracts, no lock-in. I send you results, not homework.”
  • “Your data stays on secure, dedicated infrastructure and is never shared.”

8. FAQ (collapsible)

Use native <details>/<summary> — zero JS. Custom CSS chevron that rotates on [open]. Wrap in max-w-2xl mx-auto.

  1. What is an AI agent? — Software that does a specific job for your business automatically. Like a reliable virtual assistant that works 24/7 on one task.
  2. What does “I cover API costs” mean? — AI tools charge per use. I pay those costs. Your monthly price is your total price.
  3. How do you handle my business data? — Your data runs on dedicated, isolated infrastructure. Never mixed with other clients.
  4. Can I cancel anytime? — Yes. Monthly billing, no contracts. If the agents aren’t delivering value, you shouldn’t be paying.
  5. How quickly will I see results? — First agent running within one week. Most clients see usable outputs in the first two weeks.
  6. Do I need to be technical? — No. I handle everything. You get results by email.
  7. Why not just use ChatGPT myself? — You can. But an agent that runs continuously, monitors results, and improves over time is different from opening a chat window. I build the former.

9. Contact CTA

Headline: “Let’s figure out what AI can do for your business.” CTA: Email link to aaron@squamishai.com. Full-width section with --brand-color-primary-subtle background tint.

10. SEO Metadata

title: "Managed AI Agents for Your Business | Squamish AI"
description: "AI agents built, run, and improved for your business. Starting at $500/mo. Based in Squamish, BC."

Index Page Update

  • Change nav link from #agent-management to /agents
  • Replace the #agent-management section with a brief teaser: headline, 1-2 sentences, “Learn More →” link
  • Keep teaser to ~10 lines of markup

Patterns to Follow

  • Sections: <section class="py-[var(--brand-section-padding)] px-4"> — use the existing token, same as index page
  • Wide content: max-w-[var(--brand-container-max)] for grids
  • Narrow content: max-w-[var(--brand-content-max)] for text sections (hero, FAQ)
  • Cards: Inline .map() over arrays — no extracted components
  • Colors: All via var(--brand-color-*) — no hardcoded values
  • Section headers: Cyan eyebrow label above h2 (consistent with index)
  • Layout imports: SiteLayout from ../layouts/SiteLayout.astro (local), SiteHeader/SiteFooter/BusinessDirectory from @repo/ui
  • Voice: Sharp, confident, accessible. No buzzwords, no hype, no “revolutionary” or “leverage.”
