AI-fluent operations · Worldwide

Operations Specialists who run the whole process, not VAs who hand it back.

DoneBro places trained Operations Specialists and forward-deployed engineers with founders and operating teams. Every specialist is trained on AI tools and automation before they touch your account, and every process is documented so nothing lives in one person's head.

30 minutes, free. We'll show you a real process running with AI, live.

Tools

Fluent in the tools you already use.

Automation, CRM, support, commerce and finance. If yours isn't here, learning it is part of the ramp, and it goes in your runbook.

What we do

Four disciplines, one accountable team.

Most agencies sell hours of generalist help. We sell people who can run a process end to end, automate the repetitive parts and write it all down.

AI Operations

Specialists who use AI as a working tool, not a gimmick.

Every specialist is trained on Claude and other assistants for research, drafting and multi-step work, with verification built into the habit. You get the speed of AI with a person accountable for the result.

  • Research and synthesis with sources checked
  • Drafting in your voice, reviewed before it ships
  • Multi-step workflows run end to end
  • Prompt libraries captured in your runbook

Automation Engineering

Zapier, Make and n8n when they fit. Custom-built when they don't.

We automate with whichever tool suits the job: Zapier, Make, self-hosted n8n, or custom integrations written for your stack when off-the-shelf connectors run out. Everything is built in your accounts and handed over with a control interface you own.

  • Zapier, Make and n8n builds with error handling
  • Custom integrations and internal tools, no third-party lock-in
  • A control interface to monitor, retry and pause runs
  • Every workflow documented and handed over

GTM Engineering

The infrastructure behind a pipeline that stays full.

List building, enrichment, deliverability and sequencing, set up properly and run every day. We treat outbound as a system: clean data in, authenticated domains, measured replies, and a CRM that reflects reality.

  • ICP research, list building and enrichment
  • Sending domains, authentication and warm-up
  • Sequencing, reply triage and meeting booking
  • CRM hygiene and pipeline reporting

Forward Deployed Engineers

Technical operators embedded in your stack.

For work that needs someone inside your systems: your repos, your CRM, your data. Forward Deployed Engineers ship the integrations, scripts and internal tools your team keeps postponing, and document them so you can run them without us.

  • Integrations across your CRM, ERP, billing and support tools
  • Internal dashboards and admin tools
  • Data clean-ups, migrations and syncs
  • Working inside your repositories and review process

In every engagement

What you get, whichever service you choose.

The parts that make delegation stick are the same for every client.

Automations you own

We build it in your accounts, then hand you the keys.

Zapier, Make, n8n or custom code: whatever we build runs under your logins, comes with documentation and a control interface, and keeps working if we part ways.

Built in your accounts

Automations run under your logins and your billing. Nothing sits in an account you can't see.

Source and configs handed over

Custom code, n8n or Make exports and Zapier setups are documented and handed to you.

A control interface

See every run, retry failures and pause a workflow without calling us.

No lock-in

If we part ways, your systems keep running and your runbook explains how.

How we work

A start that's honest about the first two weeks.

Six steps, the same every time. The ramp window is stated up front, in writing.

  1. 01

    Discovery call

    Thirty minutes to map what you want off your plate, including a short live demo of a real process running with AI. Free.

  2. 02

    Runbook setup

    We interview you and document every task you're handing over into the starting SOPs your specialist will work from. Free, bundled into onboarding.

  3. 03

    Specialist matched

    A trained specialist from our cohort is assigned, briefed on your runbook and introduced in your portal.

  4. 04

    Ramp window

    One to two weeks while your specialist learns your tools, logins, voice and edge cases. Expect more questions early on; full speed by week two.

  5. 05

    Day-14 calibration

    A direct conversation about what's working and what isn't, and a plan to fix the second part.

  6. 06

    Weekly rhythm

    Friday reports, a living runbook, and a portal where you delegate, track progress and flag anything urgent.

FAQ

Straight answers.

What's the difference between an Operations Specialist and a virtual assistant?

A typical VA executes tasks you hand over. Our specialists are trained on AI tools and automation, so they can run a whole process end to end, improve it, and document it. You delegate outcomes, not keystrokes.

Why does it take one to two weeks to ramp?

Because learning your tools, logins, voice and edge cases takes real time, and we'd rather tell you than pretend otherwise. It's the same investment as onboarding an in-house hire, compressed. Full-speed delivery begins by week two.

What happens if my specialist leaves?

We don't keep a person idle on standby, and we won't pretend to. What we do is document every process from day one, with screen recordings and written procedures, so a handover picks up from your runbook instead of starting from zero.

Which tools do you work with?

Whatever you already use. Common ones include Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Notion, Slack, Zapier, Make, n8n, Shopify, Zendesk, QuickBooks and Xero. Where no tool fits, we build a custom integration.

Do we own the automations you build?

Yes. They're built in your accounts, and you receive the source code, configurations, documentation and a control interface to monitor and manage them.

How do you handle our data and credentials?

Credentials are shared through a password manager with scoped vaults, never over email or chat. We work on least-privilege access, sign NDAs and data-processing agreements, and document what AI tools may and may not see.

Which time zones do you cover?

We're a distributed team working across time zones, with overlap on US and UK business hours as standard. Coverage windows are agreed per engagement.

How do we get started?

Book a discovery call. If there's a fit, we send a proposal, run the free runbook setup, and your specialist starts on a month-to-month engagement.
