How it works
What a pilot looks like
One bot on one workflow, scoped and priced in writing. A first working version in about two weeks, with a person approving anything it sends. At the day-60 review you keep it, change it, or stop.
AI automation · Dallas-Fort Worth
AI that does real work. Proven small, then scaled. You pay for what works.
Telateral helps small businesses across DFW put AI to work on the jobs that repeat, like screening candidates, routing requests, and chasing follow-ups. We prove it on one workflow first, on your accounts or ours, and you only scale what earns it. Your data stays yours either way. We also review what you pay for software, internet, and phones, and tell you what is earning its keep.
Straight answers, no pitch deck.

Sound Familiar?
The problems DFW small businesses call us about.
None of these show up on a single report. They show up as slow hiring, lost afternoons, and bills nobody can explain.
Hiring takes forever.
Someone spends hours every week sourcing and screening candidates, and the good ones still get away.
AI AutomationFollow-ups fall through the cracks.
Leads, quotes, and customer questions sit in an inbox until someone finally has a free minute.
AI AutomationWe're still paying for people who left.
Licenses, subscriptions, and phone lines that keep billing long after the person, or the need, is gone.
Cost ReviewReporting eats days every month.
People copy numbers between systems that should already be talking to each other, then check each other's work by hand.
AI AutomationToo much depends on one person.
When they're out, requests wait, vendors go unanswered, and nobody is sure where anything is written down.
AI Automation & AdvisoryWe know we should use AI, but not where.
Plenty of demos and no clear answer on which job is worth automating first, or what it would return.
AI AutomationRunning several locations or just acquired a company? We do that too: multi-site connectivity and technology consolidation.
What We Do
AI automation first. Plus the reviews we've always done.
Different problems, one method: find out what's actually happening, prove a fix small, then scale what works.

How We Work
Five promises we hold ourselves to.
They decide how we price, what we recommend, and what you get to keep when we're done.
01
Paid when it works.
Low-risk pilots with a fixed price in writing. Performance-based options available, and you can stop at the review.
02
Straight talk, even when it costs us.
The honest answer beats the bigger invoice. If what you have is fine, we'll tell you.
03
Prove it small, then scale.
One workflow first. More only after it has earned it.
04
Your data stays yours.
On your accounts or ours, documented so anyone could take over. No lock-in.
05
Nobody wonders.
Replies within one business day. Owners and dates in writing after every meeting.
The Telateral Approach
We start with the problem, not the product.
Most technology projects begin with something someone wants to sell. Ours begin with a question: where is the business actually losing money or time?
01
Find the friction
Where work is slow, duplicated, manual, or dependent on one person knowing something nobody wrote down.
02
Measure the impact
What it costs in dollars and hours. A problem without a number attached never gets prioritized, and probably should not be.
03
Prove a fix small
One workflow, on your accounts or ours. Sometimes the honest answer is that what you have is fine.
04
Scale what earns it
Only once the small version has worked. You approve each step before it starts.
Pilots, Not Promises
Pilot spots open.
We're taking on a few DFW businesses for paid pilots. Each one is small enough to judge on results, and you decide at the review whether it continues.

Have one repetitive job that eats hours every week? Pilots are open for DFW small businesses: one bot, one job, on your accounts or ours, and reviewed at day 60.
AI Automation
Most businesses are experimenting with AI. Very few are running it.
There's a big gap between trying a chatbot and a bot that reliably does one real job every day. Closing it is mostly unglamorous: understanding the process, deciding what the bot may do on its own, and knowing what happens when it gets something wrong.
Pilots open
We've built our first bot, a recruiting assistant that sources and scores candidates, and we're opening a few pilot spots for DFW businesses. A person approves every message. We treat each build as early, and we say so: pilots start recommend-only and get reviewed at day 60.
Have one repetitive job that eats hours every week? That's the right place to start.
Jobs a bot can take on
- Recruiting and screening: candidates sourced and scored against your scorecard, outreach drafted for a person to approve
- Intake and routing: form, email, and phone requests sorted and sent to the right person with context attached
- Follow-ups and reminders that nobody has time to send by hand
- Recurring reports pulled from your systems instead of copied into a spreadsheet
- Internal knowledge, so answers don't live in one person's head
- IT operations agents that triage alerts (in development, tested in simulation)
Examples, not a product list. What gets built depends on what your business actually needs, and sometimes the answer is that automation isn't the right tool.
