AI automation that runs real work,
not demos.
AFFiNCO is an AI automation agency that runs its own business on AI systems first. We map how work moves through your team, build custom AI agents and workflows on tools like n8n, Make and OpenAI, and connect them to your CRM, inbox and data. People stay in charge of anything that touches money or customers, and you own everything we build.

Most AI projects stall after the demo
A chatbot that impresses in a meeting is not the same as a system your team relies on every day. Most AI projects fail for boring reasons. The process was never mapped. The agent breaks on real data. Nobody owns it once the agency leaves.
We don't sell “fire your team” automation. We sell hours back. Most of the value sits in dull, repeat work: copying data between tools, chasing updates, sorting leads, drafting the same email for the hundredth time.
So our AI automation services follow a simple order. Map the work. Automate the predictable parts with plain workflows. Add AI agents only where judgement is needed. Keep a person in the loop wherever a mistake would cost you money or a customer.
It's the same order we followed to automate our own publishing, data and operations work across more than 65 brands.
Map the work
A process audit that shows where hours go, what each task costs and which steps are safe to hand over.
Automate the predictable
AI workflow automation in n8n, Make or Zapier for the steps that follow clear rules.
Add agents where it pays
Custom AI agents for research, triage and drafting, with human approval on anything that matters.
Our AI automation services
Our AI automation services cover everything from a single workflow to full AI agent development, built in your tools and handed over with documentation. Start with one process, then add more once it proves itself.
AI automation audit and roadmap
We work like an AI automation consultant first: process mapping, time and cost per task, and a ranked list of what to automate.
Workflow automation
AI workflow automation in n8n, Make and Zapier that moves data between your apps, triggers follow-ups and removes copy-and-paste work.
Custom AI agent development
Agents that research, classify, draft and take actions through your tools, with clear limits on what they can and can't do.
Lead and CRM automation
Leads enriched, scored and routed the moment they arrive, CRM records kept clean, and follow-up drafts ready for your reps.
AI support agents and chatbots
Assistants trained on your help docs and policies that answer common questions and hand anything tricky to a person.
AI marketing automation
Research, briefs, first drafts, repurposing and publishing pipelines, with an editor approving everything before it goes live.
Scraping and data pipelines
Apify and Firecrawl pipelines that collect competitor, pricing and market data, then clean and enrich it with AI.
Automated reporting and alerts
Weekly reports that build themselves, and alerts in Slack or Telegram when a number moves the wrong way.
Managed automation
Monitoring, fixes when an API changes, model updates and new workflows each month, so your systems keep working.
AI agents for business teams that run on repeat work
We do our best work where a team spends hours each week on tasks that follow a pattern, and where the data already lives in tools we can connect.
Marketing teams and agencies
Content pipelines, reporting, lead handling and client updates. The same work we automate across our own brands.
eCommerce and Amazon sellers
Order and inventory alerts, review monitoring, competitor price tracking and support replies. Pairs with our Amazon seller services.
SaaS and B2B companies
Lead enrichment, CRM hygiene, onboarding emails and support triage for sales and success teams.
Small businesses
AI automation for small business owners: enquiry replies, booking, invoicing reminders and reporting, without hiring an ops person.
From process audit to a live agent in four weeks
One process at a time, tested on real data before it goes live. Most clients have their first automation running within four weeks.
Map and prioritise
We walk through the process with the people who do it, measure the time it takes and agree what success looks like.
Prototype
A working version of the first workflow or agent, run on a sample of your real data so you can see it handle edge cases.
Build and test
Error handling, approval steps, logging and limits added. Tested against real cases until the output is reliable.
Launch and hand over
Live in your accounts, with written docs and a recorded walkthrough so your team knows how it works and how to pause it.
Monitor and improve
We track hours saved, error rates and costs, fix what breaks and add the next workflow on your roadmap.
We run our own business on these systems first
AFFiNCO runs more than 65 websites, directories, newsletters and apps. We couldn't do that by hand, so we built the pipelines, agents and internal tools to do the repeat work for us.
Every type of system on this page is one we use on our own revenue first. When we build for you, we're not guessing at what breaks in production. We've already fixed it for ourselves.

AFFMashup
Scrapers and AI enrichment keep 195+ affiliate and AI events up to date, and remove each event six months after it ends. Nobody updates it by hand.
AIMOJO
Tool data collected and enriched by pipelines, then checked by editors. It now serves more than 100,000 visitors a day.
Roami
The AI assistant on eSIMAdvice that answers travellers' eSIM questions around the clock.

Built by an operator who automates his own company first
AFFiNCO is led by Aliakbar Fakhri, who has spent more than a decade building and running digital businesses. Running 65+ brands with one team only works because the repeat work is automated, so Ali has spent years building the pipelines, agents and internal tools that do it.
He builds the way we ask clients to: one process at a time, written up before it's built, tested before the next one starts. Ali stays hands-on with every client engagement.
