Why now

Still hunting for help? Some of that job can be automated.

Every business in the Tri-State is fighting over the same applicants. Meanwhile, much of the work in a typical office job (answering the same questions, typing data from one screen into another, chasing confirmations) is exactly what today's AI does well.

We study the roles you're trying to fill, pick out the repetitive parts, and automate them with tools that plug into the software you already use. Your current staff get the busywork off their plates, and you may not need that next hire at all.

24/7

Never miss a call or lead. An AI receptionist answers nights, weekends and lunch rushes, books the appointment, and texts you a summary.

<1 min

Respond to every quote request. New web or Facebook leads get an instant, personal reply and a booking link while they're still interested.

Hours

Win back hours every week. Invoices, intake forms, emails and PDFs get read and entered into your systems automatically, then checked by a person.

What it looks like

Typical projects for local businesses

These examples show the kind of work we take on. Every project is scoped to your own numbers during the free audit.

Dental & medical offices

Phones ring off the hook at 8am and go to voicemail at lunch. An AI receptionist answers every call, books and reschedules appointments, and sends reminders, so the front desk can focus on patients in the room.

BeforeMissed calls, no-shows, overtime
AfterEvery call answered, reminders automated

HVAC, plumbing, roofing & contractors

Quote requests sit until the owner gets home. An AI assistant replies within a minute, asks the right questions, books the estimate, and follows up on every open quote.

BeforeLeads go cold, jobs go to competitors
AfterInstant replies, more booked estimates

Accounting, insurance & law offices

Staff retype the same information from emails, PDFs and forms. AI pulls out the data, fills in your systems and flags anything unusual for a human to check.

BeforeHours of manual entry each week
AfterReview and approve in minutes

Manufacturing, trucking & distribution

Dispatchers and office staff juggle calls, texts and spreadsheets. Orders get captured automatically, customers get status updates on their own, and reports build themselves.

Before"Where's my order?" calls all day
AfterAutomatic updates, cleaner data

Why Kenwood AI

A local partner, not a faraway software company

George Perez, founder of Kenwood AI, speaking at a local event
Meet your consultant

Hi, I'm George Perez.

I started Kenwood AI to bring practical, affordable AI to the businesses I see every day around Russell, Ashland, Huntington and Ironton. When you work with Kenwood AI, you work with me directly. I'll come to your office, learn how your team actually works, and build tools that fit, with no call centers and no handoffs.

If you're curious what AI could take off your plate, the first conversation is free and there's no pressure.

George Perez Founder, Kenwood AI · george@kenwoodai.com

We're your neighbors

We're based in Russell and work across Ashland, Huntington, Ironton and the surrounding area. We'll come to your office, learn how you actually work, and pick up the phone when you call.

Built around your tools

We work with what you already use, like Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, QuickBooks, your CRM and your scheduling software, so nobody has to learn a whole new system.

Safe and accountable

We use business-grade AI services that don't train on your data, keep a person in the loop on important decisions, and document everything. You own the accounts and everything we build.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Will AI replace my employees?

Our goal is to take the repetitive, draining parts of the job off your team's plate so they can spend their time on customers and skilled work. Many owners use automation in place of a hard-to-fill new hire, or to handle growth without adding overtime.

Is my business and customer data safe?

We use business-tier AI services whose terms prohibit training on your data, limit access to only what each automation needs, and keep you as the owner of every account. For healthcare clients we only use vendors that will sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA).

How much does it cost?

The audit is free. Most first projects fall between $750 and $3,000 with a fixed quote up front, plus a modest monthly fee for anything that runs continuously, like an AI receptionist. We size every project so it pays for itself well within the first year.

How long does it take?

A typical pilot goes live in two to three weeks. Simple automations, like instant lead replies or appointment reminders, can often be running within days.

We're not a "tech" company. Is this for us?

Yes. Most of our clients are dental offices, contractors, agencies, manufacturers and other local businesses. We handle the technical side and train your team in plain English.

What if it doesn't work the way we hoped?

Every pilot has a clear, measurable goal agreed upfront, and you approve everything before it goes live. There are no long-term contracts, so you only keep paying if it keeps delivering.

Do you work with businesses outside the Tri-State?

Yes. We focus on Northeast Kentucky, Southern Ohio and the Huntington area, where we can meet in person, but we work remotely with clients anywhere in the U.S.
