How ThunderStaff Builds and Co-Manages AI Process Automation
From process capture to live deployment — in days, not months.
Three steps. We do most of the work. You stay in control.
Capture & map your process
Start by mapping the workflow. We document every system, decision point, and edge case, then turn it into a process flowchart and implementation path your team can review.
Managed AI Harness design
Our engineers build the tools, permissions, memory, retries, and approval gates that let AI operate inside your workflow without your team babysitting it.
Deploy & monitor with Mission Control
We deploy on your hardware or in the cloud, then co-manage it 24/7. The Mission Control Backplane gives your team real-time dashboards, approval gates, and direct access to our engineers.
Features & Capabilities
Everything you need to put AI to work — reliably.
Five pillars under the hood. Every ThunderStaff deployment ships with all of them.
Multi-system integration
Email inboxes, PDFs (with OCR), Google Drive and SharePoint, ERP and line-of-business apps (Sage 50, custom systems), vendor web portals, fat and thin clients. If your team uses it, we can read it, parse it, and act on it.
No migration required. The harness reads your existing systems through the same interfaces your team already uses — whether that's an API, a desktop app, or a web portal.
Managed AI Harnesses for real business operations.
ThunderStaff does not hand you a chatbot and hope your team can wire it into the business. We build the operating layer around the model: tools, permissions, memory, approvals, monitoring, and remediation.
The result is a managed harness that can read your systems, take approved actions, route exceptions to people, and keep running as vendors, models, and workflows change.
Tools & access
Connects to inboxes, files, portals, ERPs, APIs, and internal systems.
State & memory
Carries context across long-running work instead of starting over every step.
Controls & approvals
Keeps sensitive actions behind policy, role, budget, and human review gates.
Monitoring & fixes
Tracks every run, catches failures, and routes remediation back to ThunderStaff.
Compliance-ready, wherever it needs to live.
Run the harness on your hardware, in your cloud, or in ours. Whichever deployment you pick, we harden it the same way — and we're explicit about which data goes where.
ThunderStaff operates strictly via customer-authorized access using customer-delegated credentials governed by your enterprise security policies. Secrets can stay in customer-managed AWS Secrets Manager or Azure Key Vault integrations.
Co-managed automation — your IT keeps the keys.
The harness runs alongside your team — not instead of them. Internal IT keeps governance. MSP partners co-deliver. We handle the AI engineering, monitoring, and updates so the people you already trust stay in control of the systems they already own.
Mission Control Backplane — full visibility, when you want it
Real-time dashboards, job queues, structured logs, approval gates. Your team supervises automations and signs off on edge cases — and collaborates with our engineers inside the same tool. No black boxes.
Live dashboards
Throughput, success rate, time saved — per process.
Approval gates
Sign off on edge cases without leaving Slack or email.
Structured logs
Every step, every tool call, every decision — auditable.

Build Your Custom Scope & ROI Estimate (3-Min Assessment)
Map one valuable workflow in a public 3-minute assessment, review the planning range, and estimate ROI before you schedule an automation briefing.
Workflow Pricing Preview
The pricing flow identifies the first workflow worth automating, confirms the systems involved, estimates the business case, and shows the implementation path.
Pick one costly, repetitive operational workflow.
We map the systems, approvals, edge cases, and handoffs.
You get a fixed build plan and Managed Services quote.
After the preview
You choose whether to move forward after seeing pricing calculated from the real workflow instead of a generic package.
We build it. We run it. We fix it.
Every engagement is covered by Managed Services. If the automation breaks, we fix it. Your team gets the outcome without owning prompts, brittle scripts, model changes, or integration drift.
Start with one workflow.
See pricing and ROI.
Use the public assessment to map one operational workflow, estimate the business case, and see the implementation path for a managed AI Harness before an automation briefing.
