AI, installed inside your firm

The quiet machine that runs the back of your practice while you sleep.

Quiet Machines installs an AI brain inside your advisory firm in one week, then operates it for you. Stop renting leads from vendors. Start owning a practice that qualifies, drafts, and remembers on its own.

The reframe

Lead-gen vendors sell a faucet. We build a well.

You've been renting leads at five thousand a close, watching the quality drift, hearing the same generic outreach echo across every firm in your zip code. When you stop paying, the leads stop. You're left with nothing.

Quiet Machines installs an AI brain inside your firm — Claude as the reasoning layer, Notion as the memory — trained on your voice, your compliance posture, and your ideal client. Then we operate it. When we walk away, you keep the brain, the workspace, and the runbook.

Lead-gen vendor

  • You buy leads
  • You own nothing at the end
  • ~$5K per close, regardless of fit
  • Generic brand voice
  • Compliance is your problem
  • Stop paying → leads stop cold

Quiet Machines

  • You buy a brain + an operator
  • You own Claude Team + Notion HQ
  • One flat monthly. No per-close fees. Ever.
  • Tuned to your voice from Day 1
  • Built-in Compliance Reviewer on every output
  • Walk away → you still have everything
The brain

Seven Operators. One firm-shaped brain.

Every Quiet Machines install ships with the same seven AI Operators, each one tuned to your firm's voice, your ideal client, and your compliance rules. Think of them as seven new hires who never sleep, never forget, and always sound like you.

Visibility

Your firm, indexed by the machines that now answer the question.

Your ideal client doesn't open ten browser tabs anymore. They ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews — and whoever those machines decide to cite is who gets the call. Most advisory firms are invisible inside that layer. We fix that, and we keep fixing it every month — feeding the corrections back into the brain we installed.

/ Search

Programmatic SEO

We build out the long tail of pages your ideal client is actually searching for — at a scale and cadence no in-house marketer can match. Each page is generated from the brain, reviewed by Compliance, and shipped on a schedule.

The residency

Five days on-site. Then it runs.

We don't do remote installs. Remote installs don't stick. We fly in Sunday night, spend Monday through Friday shoulder-to-shoulder with your team, and leave with the brain installed and your people trained on real work.

After Week 1, we operate it for you remotely on a monthly cadence. Weekly scorecard, content review, Lead Card review, monthly retrospective, ongoing tuning.

Pricing

Build it. Run it. Until you fire us.

One residency to install the brain. One monthly to operate it. One optional add-on if you want your team trained alongside us as we go. Claude Team and Notion Team are absorbed inside the monthly — you see one invoice, never an itemized vendor bill.

No per-lead fees. No per-close bonuses. No commission games that put us on the wrong side of the table. We get paid to operate the machine — every month, for as long as it's pulling weight. Then you keep the brain.

Residency

Required one-time install. Week 1, on-site.
$30,000once · required
  • 5-day on-site install at your office

  • Compliance Reviewer kept current with regs
  • Quarterly retrospective with the principal
  • Stay as long as it's pulling weight — leave when it isn't
All-in through month 6
$60,000 · $81,000 with Train add-on
$30K Residency + ($6K × 4 months Operate) + ($3K × 2 months Steward). The full hand-in-hand install, the operate phase, and the first two stewardship months.
For context: a single mid-level marketing hire in your office runs roughly $95K–$120K/year all-in (salary, benefits, payroll tax, software, training) — and you still have to manage them, and they still can't qualify a lead at midnight or remember every conversation you've ever had with a client.
vs. hiring it in-house

What it would cost to build this yourself.

A side-by-side of every function the install covers, what it would cost to staff it, and what you actually pay us.

Function Hire it yourself In-house cost (yr 1) Quiet Machines
Institutional memory across every client conversation Senior associate + CRM rebuild $85,000+ Included
Pre-meeting briefs that pull from history, holdings, and notes Operations associate, manual prep $60,000+ Included
Marketing content drafted in your firm's voice on cadence Marketing manager or agency $95,000–$140,000 Included
Inbound lead qualification + scoring before they hit your calendar Sales development rep $70,000–$90,000 Included
Compliance review on every outbound piece Compliance consultant on retainer $30,000–$60,000 Included
Programmatic SEO + AEO content engine SEO specialist + dev contractor $60,000–$120,000 Included
Monthly AI search visibility tracking vs. competitors Custom tooling, no off-the-shelf option $25,000+ to build Included
Software stack (Claude Team, Notion Team, 5 seats each) Procured + admin'd by you $6,000+/yr Absorbed
Onboarding, training, management overhead Your time, every week Hard to price We run it
Year-one total 3–5 hires + tooling $430K–$650K+ $60K–$81K
And on top of the cost: you actually have to find a marketer, an SDR, a compliance reviewer, and an SEO specialist who know how to work with AI — and then manage them. We're one invoice, one operator, and we plan to be fired by month 6.

The Residency is required to start — there is no remote install path. The brain only works if we build it inside your office, with your principal in the room.

Start here

The free audit is the first move.

Before any pitch, we run a free audit on your firm's website and your visibility inside AI search. Most firms we audit are at zero — invisible to ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity when their ideal client asks the question they're built to answer.

You get the audit either way. If we're a fit, we talk about the residency. If we're not, you keep the audit and we shake hands.

Honest answers

Questions principals actually ask.

Click any category to expand. We grouped these by what principals actually ask in order — start with The basics, dig into Compliance & risk if your CO is in the room, and skip to Pricing & the exit if you're already nodding.

The basics · 4 questions
What does Quiet Machines actually do, in one sentence?

We spend a week inside your office installing seven AI Operators that handle memory, meeting prep, content, lead scoring, compliance review, client touch points, and admin work. While we're at it, we rebuild your entire visibility layer too — your SEO, your AEO (the answers AI search engines give about you), and your marketing stack — so your firm actually shows up where ideal clients are now looking. Then we operate all of it shoulder-to-shoulder with your team until you don't need us anymore.

Who is this for?

Independent RIAs and advisor practices with $50M–$500M AUM, a clear niche (federal employees, physicians, business owners, near-retirees, etc.), and a principal who already feels the gap between "what I know about my clients" and "what gets used day-to-day." If you're under $50M, the residency is overkill. If you're over $750M, this is exactly for you — you have the volume, the team, and the client load that make every Operator pay for itself many times over.

How is this different from hiring a marketing agency or fractional CMO?

An agency runs ads, ships posts, and bills you forever. A fractional CMO runs strategy and bills you forever. We install operating infrastructure inside your firm — software you own, prompts you own, a workspace you own — and we plan to be fired. Different shape, different exit.

Is this the same as buying ChatGPT for the office?

No. ChatGPT is a smart intern with no memory of your firm. Our install is seven role-specific Operators tied into a central knowledge base that contains your voice, your ideal client profile, your compliance posture, and your live book — and we teach your team how to actually use them, in person, during the residency week and through the all-hands teach session on Thursday morning. It's the difference between a tool you bought and a coworker your team knows how to work with.

The residency week · 4 questions
Can you do it remotely instead of flying out?

No. The week is the install. Remote installs don't stick because the principal never sits in the room long enough to actually shape the voice, the rules, and the rituals. Travel and lodging are in the price.

How disruptive is the residency week to my team?

Lighter than you'd think. We need ~90 minutes a day with the principal, ~30 minutes a day with the operations lead, one all-hands lunch, and a Thursday morning all-hands teach session (about 60 minutes) where we walk the entire team through the Operators they'll actually use day-to-day. Outside of those touchpoints, everyone keeps doing their job — we're the ones doing the work.

What do you need from us before you arrive?

A small intake (your CRM export, sample emails in the principal's voice, your current marketing assets, a list of your top 25 households), a quiet conference room for the week, and a credit card on file for the Claude Team and Notion Team seats we provision in your firm's name.

What if the week goes sideways?

It hasn't. But the residency is fixed-fee, so if we need a sixth day, that's on us. The thing we promise on day 5 is a working install — not a polished one. We polish it during Operate.

Compliance & risk · 4 questions
My compliance officer will say no.

Loop them in for the pre-flight call. Every assistant has a documented system prompt, every output is cited, every piece of outbound content runs through the Compliance Reviewer with a saved trail in the HQ. Most compliance officers we meet go from skeptical to enthusiastic in one call — they've never had this much paper on AI use.

What about client data and privacy?

Claude Team and Notion Team both ship with enterprise DPAs, SOC 2 Type II, and zero training on your data. We follow your existing data handling rules — if a piece of PII can't go in your CRM, it can't go in the brain either. We document this in your runbook.

Are there things AI shouldn't be doing in a financial advisor's office?

Yes — and we won't build them. No portfolio recommendations without a human in the loop. No replies to regulator inquiries. No trading. Outbound to clients (touch points, follow-ups, nurture) is fair game where you want it — but always under your rules, in your voice, and with the disclosures and review trail your compliance officer signs off on. The brain doesn't impersonate you; it gives you leverage.

What if a client asks whether AI was involved?

You tell them the truth: yes, we use a private AI workspace to make sure nothing slips through the cracks of our memory and to draft material faster — and every word that goes out the door is reviewed by a human. Most clients say "good." We help you write the disclosure.

Pricing & the exit · 5 questions
Why is the Residency required?

Because the install only works if it's built inside your office, with your principal in the room. There is no remote path. No "we'll just send you the prompts." The residency is the part that makes everything else stick.

Can we skip Operate and go straight to Steward?

No. The Operate phase exists because months 1–4 are when the team learns to actually use the brain in their workflow. Skip it and the install becomes shelfware. By month 5, your team owns it — that's when Steward starts.

What's the Train add-on, exactly?

+$3,500/month for hands-on training of your team alongside us during Operate — weekly working sessions, recorded SOPs, prompt-writing coaching for the principal. Optional. Most firms add it for two to three months and then drop it.

What happens if we fire you?

You keep Claude Team in your name, Notion HQ in your name, all seven AI Operators, and the printed Operator Runbook. The fact that we build our own ejection seat is the trust move. That's the point.

Will you ever come back if something breaks later?

Yes. Past clients get a flat hourly rate for tune-ups, prompt revisions, or new Operator builds. No retainer required.

Visibility & the marketing layer · 3 questions
Can you guarantee X closes or leads?

No. We're not a lead-gen vendor and we don't sell on conversion math we can't control. We guarantee the install, the operator, the cadence, and the visibility scoreboard. The closes are yours.

What's "AI search visibility" and why should I care?

When your ideal client asks ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity "who's the best advisor in [your city] for [your niche]," the LLM answers with a name. Right now most firms aren't in the answer at all. We measure where you stand every month and ship content designed to move that curve. We don't promise specific citations — we promise the work and the scoreboard.

We already have a marketing person — does this replace them?

No, it leverages them. Your marketing person gets a Content Studio that drafts in your voice and a Compliance Reviewer that catches problems before they ship. They become roughly 5x more productive at the same desk. We've never had a marketing hire feel threatened by it once they touch it.

The stack · 4 questions
Why Claude Team and Notion Team specifically?

Claude Team because the model is the best in class for nuanced, voice-sensitive financial writing and because Anthropic's data posture is the most conservative of the major labs. Notion Team because it's the only knowledge workspace that lets the AI read structured data the way a coworker would. The combination is the install.

What if Claude or Notion changes pricing or goes down?

Real risk, low probability. Both are enterprise SaaS with DPAs and uptime SLAs. Backups run weekly. The assistant prompts are versioned in Notion, so the whole system could be rebuilt on different infrastructure in roughly a day. The runbook covers it.

Do you integrate with my CRM (Wealthbox, Redtail, Salesforce, etc.)?

Yes — read access during the residency to seed the brain, and ongoing sync via Zapier or native integrations during Operate. We don't write back to the CRM unless you explicitly ask us to.

What if I already have other AI tools in the office?

Fine. Most are point tools (Jump for meeting notes, Otter for transcription, Zocks, etc.). They keep doing what they do — the brain reads from them. We're not asking you to rip anything out.
