Field notes from the studio.

TaskDriver.ai is an AI and software studio working with businesses in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US. We set up AI agents and automation inside the tools a business already pays for, including inbox, forms, CRM, bookings and spreadsheets. We fix or rebuild the website when it gets in the way. Fixed scope, quoted upfront, founder-led. These are breakdowns on automation systems, AI operations, and the build patterns we actually use on client projects.

Who writes these

Robert Iuoras

Founder & lead developer

Scopes, designs and ships every TaskDriver.ai build. The person on your first call is the person writing the code. No account managers and no handoff between the pitch and the work. Always ahead of the game: across the latest AI releases every day, and building with them the same week they land.

  • Shipped WhatsApp quote automation for Australian Power
  • Delivered ops automation and web for Second to None and Invest With Alison
  • Reads and tests the week's AI releases, so what you get is current rather than last year's stack

Working with the studio

If the notes are useful and you want the same systems built for your business, here is exactly how that works.

What does it cost?
The first call is free: 30 minutes, no charge and no obligation. Setups are quoted in writing on fixed scope before anything starts: half upfront, half when it is live, and live in 14 days or your setup fee back. Bigger builds and website fixes or rebuilds are quoted the same way. Ongoing care after launch is optional and monthly. UK and US businesses are quoted in pounds or US dollars, and there is no hourly billing.
How long does it take from first contact to go-live?
The first call is usually booked within a few days. A first setup is live within 14 days of the quote being agreed and access to your accounts, or your setup fee comes back. Larger automation systems take 4–8 weeks, and a website rebuild 2–5 weeks depending on the number of pages. You get dated milestones in writing before work starts.
What happens after launch? Do you keep running it, or do I take over?
You own it. Everything runs in your accounts, on your keys, and we hand over the code, the docs and the logins at the end of the build. Nothing is locked to us.
If something breaks or needs a tweak, how is that handled and at what cost?
Anything we built that breaks is fixed free for 30 days after handover, and everything we run reports a heartbeat so we usually know before you do. After that, fixes are quoted per job or covered by an optional monthly care plan. It is your choice and never a condition of the build. New scope is quoted as a new fixed-scope build.
How much of my time does this take?
About two hours in total: one 30-minute call, giving us access to the tools involved, and one review round before go-live. We do the rest.
What proof do you have that this works?
Named, checkable builds rather than anonymous case studies: Australian Power (WhatsApp quote automation), Second to None (painting and renovation ops), Invest With Alison (financial-education funnel) and an AI tools directory. Each one is written up on this site with what was built and what changed.
