Why a certified partner

“Why don't I just build it myself?”

It is the fair question, and the one most people are too polite to ask out loud. Here is the straight answer.

Starting is easy now. Operating is not.

AI tools can spin up a prototype that looks like your idea in an afternoon. That part is real, and it is impressive. But the distance between a working mockup and a system your team, customers, and data rely on every day is where projects quietly fall apart.

Here is where it usually stalls

Scoping the workflow your team actually follows. The database behind it. Logins, permissions, and who can see what. Connecting the systems you already pay for. And the Tuesday morning it breaks and nobody knows why.

What you are actually buying

Someone accountable for it working, this month and next. The certification is how you know we were assessed on shipped client software. Care is how it keeps running after launch.

The build is the beginning of a relationship, not a handoff. That is what Care is, from $399 a month, and it is the part clients tell us they would not give up.

What Walter builds

AI agents and apps for the work your team actually does.

Every Walter build starts with a real bottleneck. These are the patterns we keep getting asked for.

Custom estimating tools

Quotes that come out faster and more accurate than any spreadsheet ever could.

Performance dashboards

Real-time visibility into the numbers leadership actually needs to see.

WhatsApp and SMS agents

Meet your customers and team where they already are. Nothing to install.

Inbox triage agents

Sorts, prioritizes, drafts, and routes the email pile so your team can breathe.

Proposal and quote generators

Turn a four-hour proposal into a four-minute one, on brand, every time.

Handbook and knowledge bots

Your SOPs, handbooks, and policies, instantly searchable by anyone who needs them.

Workflow automations

Stop copying data between systems. Walter connects the dots and removes the busywork.

AI co-workers and assistants

Department-specific agents that handle the repetitive work humans shouldn't.

Client wins, in daily use

Real SMBs. Real AI. Actually adopted.

Not pilots. Not decks. Live systems your peers are logging into this week.

Walter Build + Operator

Pacific Enclosures

One custom operating system. Their entire business, in one place.

We built Pacific Enclosures a custom operating system that runs their entire business in one place: engineering estimates, quotes, CRM, production scheduling, tracking and reporting, vendor management, purchase orders, and project archiving. What used to live across spreadsheets and disconnected tools is now one system their team works inside, tended monthly through Walter Operator.

  • Custom operating system for the whole business
  • Replaces spreadsheets and disconnected tools
  • Tended monthly through Walter Operator

"We were running the whole business across spreadsheets, disconnected tools, and overflowing inboxes. Walter built us one system our team works inside every day, then stayed on to keep making it better. It changed how we operate."

Darren Rogers, President and CEO

Walter Agents & Workflows

Bright Eyes Academy

One AI agent. Two WhatsApp communities. Instant answers.

Bright Eyes Academy needed their employee and parent handbooks to actually get used. Walter built an agent that knows both handbooks cold and deployed it where their people already live, inside their WhatsApp communities. Staff and parents text the agent and get answers in seconds.

  • Trained on full employee and parent handbooks
  • Deployed inside WhatsApp for staff and parents
  • Answers in seconds, no app to learn

"Our website finally works as hard as we do. Walter built it fast, made it beautiful, and keeps it current so we never have to think about it. Families find us now, and that is exactly what we needed."

Lauren, General Manager

Walter Agents & Workflows

MVCC

Two AI agents. New hires and HR. Answered in Teams.

MVCC needed new hires ramped faster and HR freed from repetitive questions. Walter built two agents: an Account Manager Support Agent that guides new hires through onboarding, and an HR Assistant that answers policy and admin questions on demand. Both live inside Microsoft Teams, where their people already work.

  • Account Manager Support Agent for new hire onboarding
  • HR Assistant for policy and admin questions
  • Both deployed inside Microsoft Teams

"Walter didn't hand us AI and walk away. He built an agent our team actually uses, trained everyone, and stayed on to improve it. Work that used to eat our week runs itself now."

Brad Burgess, Special Projects Manager
Rove Hotels: one agent live in 14 days with zero extra staff.

Built on the Lovable platform and the Claude stack, by a certified partner team. Every one of these is still tended by us today.

How we can do this

An autonomous dev team, inside a process built for software that holds up.

AI agents do the building. Real people direct it and are accountable for the result. That distinction matters, because “AI wrote it” and “AI wrote it and nobody checked” are very different things.

Every change to your software, whether it's a new feature or a one-line bug fix, goes through the same five stages before it goes live.

  1. 1

    Plan

    Before anything is written, the system reads your existing codebase and works out how the change should be made. Nothing is touched during this stage.

  2. 2

    Build

    The code gets written, and tested as it goes.

  3. 3

    Review

    A separate, independent agent re-reads the work, runs the tests again, and either approves it or sends it back with specific feedback. It doesn't get through until it passes.

  4. 4

    Security check

    A dedicated pass looks for vulnerabilities, exposed credentials, gaps in who can access what, and whether one customer's data could ever reach another's. This runs on every change, not just the big ones.

  5. 5

    Documentation

    Documentation is updated to match what just changed, so the system's understanding of your software never falls out of date.

Proof of the engine

The autonomous engine we build on rebuilt an entire SaaS platform in six weeks, with no human writing the code.

Deploys per day

A rebuild at that scale is normally six months or more and a room full of engineers. To be clear about what this is: it's the engine's own benchmark, not a client project of ours. Your build runs on the same engine.

The human behind every Walter

Clayton Creed

Founder, Hey Walter Labs

Hey Walter isn't an agency. It's a build studio led by Clayton Creed: a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, Certified XCHANGE Guide, Certified CHIPP Architect, Lovable Certified Partner, Certified Expert, Certified App Builder and Certified Website Builder, Certified Claude Code and Claude Platform practitioner, and operator with 20+ years building and scaling businesses.

Clayton has supported founders through successful acquisitions, managed teams of 100+, and scaled operations past $40M in revenue. He brings that same operational rigor to every AI build.

Here is what makes this different: Clayton doesn't just consult and leave. He facilitates the alignment work, then directs the build engine and operates the result alongside your team. The machine does the heavy lifting. The human makes sure it is the right thing, built right, and actually used.

Leading operator. Full accountability. Real results.

Lovable Expert 2026
Pricing

Three steps. One decision at a time.

Most clients start with one thing and add the rest once they see what's possible. You don't need to decide any of it up front.

Start here

Step one

The Blueprint

Fixed price. Working prototype in days.

$2,500

Credited against whatever you decide to do next

Nobody can quote your project accurately off a phone call. Firms that try either pad the number heavily to protect themselves, or come back later with change orders. Both cost you. So we build something first, then quote.

  • A walkthrough of your software: the key screens, built, with example data in them
  • A written plan covering how it gets built and what connects to what
  • A scope document, so we both know what “done” means
  • A fixed price for the full build

The written plan is yours whatever you decide next. If you don't go ahead, you're under no obligation at all.

Step two

Build it

Pick whichever suits how you like to handle money.

Two ways to pay

Same team, same result

Option A is a fixed price, quoted from your Blueprint, with defined deliverables and payments tied to milestones. Option B is a Build Balance: $2,500 a month for your Operator, plus a balance we build against that you can watch go down and stop any time.

  • Fixed Price: one number, known before anything starts
  • Build Balance: $2,500/mo + an opening balance
  • Small $5,000 to $10,000, Medium $10,000 to $20,000, Large $20,000 and up
  • What's built is yours, what's left is yours

If you'd rather have the certainty, take the fixed price. Neither answer is wrong.

Step three

Care

Software isn't finished when it launches.

$399/mo

Care Plus $999/mo, both plus balance

We watch your software constantly: hourly checks for errors, weekly checks that it's behaving as it should. When something new shows up, a fix ticket opens on its own and goes through the same five stages as any other work.

  • Hourly error checks and weekly behaviour checks
  • Hosting and running costs covered by the balance
  • Submit whatever you want changed, added or fixed
  • Care Plus keeps your Operator on, the same person who ran your build

A change that usually means a few hundred dollars and a wait for the next available slot is typically a few dollars here, and usually done the same day.

If you need more than software

A Fractional AI & Dev Operations Lead

From $6,000/mo

A named senior person embedded with your team, owning the outcome, with the dev team behind them. You'd normally hire two people for this: a Director of Operations at $150,000 and up, and a Director of AI at $200,000 to $250,000, each taking two to three months to find. This replaces the Operator fee rather than adding to it. The software is one of the outputs. The operational change is the point.

If you just need a website

Walter Sites

From $149/mo

Built once, tended monthly, and kept visible in Google and AI search. No build fee to start, and updates are handled for you. A separate lane from the Blueprint, for when the job really is just a website.

Not sure which step you're on? Book a free call and we'll tell you straight, including if the answer is not software.

Hey Walter, build it.

Start with a Blueprint. We build the key screens of your software, write the plan, and give you a fixed price for the full build. $2,500, credited against whatever you decide to do next, and the plan is yours either way.

Thirty minutes, no obligation, and we will tell you straight if the answer is not software.

Launch day is the start. We stay on as your operator and keep the software earning its keep.
