Five things we build

OK Next writes software for businesses. Five capability areas, one engineering standard, one contracting entity. Everything below is delivered by Automato AI in English, or by Italia GHL in Italian for the Italian market.

ENGAGEMENT
Fixed-scope project, or monthly operation
DELIVERY
Remote, in English and Italian
HANDOVER
Repository, infrastructure, runbook

01 — THE MECHANISMS

Each of the five capabilities below is drawn as a mechanism that does the same job.

A Geneva drive takes a continuous input and gives back one exact step at a time. An escapement releases one tooth per swing, then waits its turn. An arch closes on its keystone and carries its own load. The five below are written to work that way, and to keep running after the repository is handed over.

  1. Business process automation, drawn as a Geneva drive: a wheel with four radial slots, turned by a single pin on a crank, so that a continuous input leaves as one indexed step and the wheel is positively locked between steps.
  2. AI agents and chatbots, drawn as a lever escapement: a toothed wheel and a pivoted fork with two stones, which releases exactly one tooth per swing and then waits.
  3. Dashboards and internal tools, drawn as a sight glass: a cut vessel wall, two isolating cocks and a glass column standing beside it, whose only job is to let you read the level inside a vessel you cannot open.
  4. Applied AI systems, drawn as a nest of three graded sieves, coarse seated over medium seated over fine: one material, three grades, separating what passes from what does not.
  5. Custom software and platforms, drawn as a segmental arch of seven stones on two piers, each joint cut normal to the curve, closed at the crown by a keystone. It carries its load because the parts hold each other up, and it stands after the frame it was built on is taken away.

Five mechanisms, drawn to one standard, in the order of the five below.

03 — WHAT WE INTEGRATE WITH

OK Next integrates with whatever has an API, and writes the integration layer where one does not exist. These are systems already in production somewhere:

CRM AND MESSAGING

  • GoHighLevel
  • WhatsApp Business API
  • Google Workspace and Calendar
  • Slack and Microsoft Teams
  • Realtime speech providers

PAYMENTS AND DOCUMENTS

  • Stripe
  • FatturaPA / SDI e-invoicing
  • DocuSeal and DocuSign
  • PDF generation
  • QuickBooks

INFRASTRUCTURE

  • PostgreSQL
  • Redis
  • Docker
  • Vercel
  • Self-managed VPS

This is a list of systems. There is no integration marketplace and no number to quote.

04 — HOW WE ENGAGE

Fixed-scope projectA written statement of what will be built, what it explicitly does not include, and a fixed price. Most work is this.
Day rate against an estimateWhere scope genuinely cannot be pinned down in advance. Reported against the estimate weekly.
Monthly operationAfter launch: monitoring, fixes, dependency and security updates, and an agreed budget of change requests.

No long-term contract is required to start. Italia GHL sells a subscription CRM in Italy; everything else is quoted per project.

05 — WHAT TO SEND

In your first email

  • What the process looks like today, step by step
  • Who does it now, and how long it takes them
  • The systems it touches
  • Your timeline, and a rough budget range if you have one

What comes back

  • A reply within one business day. If two business days pass, send it again — the mail was lost.
  • A 30 to 45 minute call. No deck, no discovery package, no invoice for the conversation.
  • A written scope with a price, or a straight answer that this is not a fit.

06 — QUESTIONS

Questions

What does a project cost?

Cost tracks scope, and OK Next puts a real number in a written proposal before you spend anything. Three things drive it: how many systems have to be reached, whether the process is already documented, and whether people log in. Every proposal separates the build price from the monthly running cost — hosting, model usage, third-party APIs — so both numbers are known before you sign.

How long does a project take?

A focused automation is measured in weeks; agents and dashboards take longer because they depend on your systems being reachable; platforms run into months. The largest variable is not OK Next’s speed — it is how quickly access to your systems and answers about your process arrive. The proposal names which of those is the critical path.

Do you work with clients outside the United States?

Yes. OK Next contracts under US terms and works with clients internationally. Automato AI takes engagements in English worldwide. Italia GHL serves the Italian market specifically, in Italian. Calls are held in your business hours.

Do we own the code?

You do. Code, configuration and intellectual property in what OK Next builds for you belong to you, written into the agreement. The repository and credentials are handed over at launch. OK Next keeps its own general-purpose internal libraries and know-how, as any firm does, but nothing in your system depends on a license from us.
