Start from the ledger
We start where your business loses hours and dollars, then check whether automation pays there. If it does not, we tell you.
AI automation that pays for itself.
Mandrake builds AI systems that take over slow, expensive work. We ship in weeks, measure results in dollars, and keep your team in the loop.
- Weeks, not quarters One workflow, scoped tight, in production fast
- Dollars, not demos Every project priced against savings you can measure
- Humans in the loop Your team approves while the system does the legwork
Most AI projects die between the demo and the P&L.
The pattern is familiar. A great prototype stalls in pilot, nobody owns the tool, and the project quietly dies. The technology rarely fails. The scoping does.
Ship in weeks
We scope one workflow and put it in production quickly. You see working software and results, not a deck in month three.
Leave you the keys
Your team runs the system after we leave. We document, train, and hand it over, so the value keeps compounding. If you prefer, we stay on for maintenance.
Automation that survives contact with your business.
Every engagement ends with something your team uses daily, not a recommendation to do more discovery.
- 01 Automate a workflow end to end Core engagement Book this We find the process that quietly burns hours and build a system that does the work. Your team reviews and approves. The system handles the grind. Discovery to production in weeksHuman review built inSavings tracked per run
- 02 Train your team on modern AI Working sessions Book this Hands-on sessions built around your team's real work, from prompt fundamentals to agentic workflows. They leave having shipped something. Built around your real workPrompting through agentic workflowsYour team ships in session
- 03 Cut the cost of AI you already run Optimization Book this The same output often costs ten times more than it should. We right-size models, add caching, and tune prompts. The quality holds while the bill drops. Model right-sizingCaching and batchingPrompt and eval tuning
Live engagement, anonymized
The system reads every invoice and catches what spot-checks miss.
A mid-size e-commerce company receives thousands of supplier invoices a year. Finance could only spot-check them, so they asked us a simple question. Are we billed what we agreed to pay?
We are building a system that reads every invoice on arrival, checks each line against contracted pricing and billing history, and routes discrepancies to finance with the evidence attached.
- 01 Ingest Invoices land and the system structures every line item.
- 02 Reconcile Each line is checked against contracted pricing and history.
- 03 Flag Discrepancies route to finance with the evidence attached.
- 04 Recover The team disputes the charge and puts the money back.

- Savings your CFO can audit We document hours saved, dollars recovered, and cost per run.
Built by an operator, not an agency.
Mandrake is led by Josh Anderson. Josh has automated work with frontier technology since before ChatGPT was a household name, bringing startup techniques into businesses where outcomes are measured in dollars.
When you work with Mandrake, you work with Josh. There is no rotating bench of juniors.
Bring us a workflow. We'll tell you what it's worth.
Walk us through one process that eats your team's time. We'll tell you whether it can be automated, what it would take, and what it would save. If the math does not work, we say so.
