Sacramento, CA · AI implementation and software

We put AI inside how your business already runs, not next to it.

IG Digital Lab is a Sacramento AI implementation company. We integrate AI into how a business already works and build the workflow around it end to end: custom software and integrations, websites, web and mobile apps, phone, forms, CRM and calendar connected so nothing falls through the cracks, AI on calls and chat, servers and support, connected devices, and visibility in AI search. There is no fixed package. Tell us what is slowing your business down, and we will tell you what fits. Start with a free audit.

Eight things we build and run

One team for the software, the sites, the servers and the AI inside them. Pick the one that hurts; we scope the rest on the free audit.

Custom software

When off the shelf software does not fit how you work, we build the tool that does. Internal apps, portals, integrations between systems that were never meant to talk, and private AI that answers from your own documents. Built on your infrastructure, documented, and handed over so you own it.

Learn more about custom software

Websites and web apps

Fast, modern sites that load quickly and are easy to edit, plus the web apps behind them: client portals, booking flows, dashboards and member areas. We design, build, host and keep them running, and we can take over a site someone else started or abandoned.

AI for calls and chat

A voice agent answers your phone around the clock, qualifies the caller, books the appointment and writes the details into your CRM. On the site, an AI chat handles the same questions in text and hands off to a person when it should. See also AI customer support.

AI workflow automation

The chain from phone call to form to CRM to calendar, running without anyone retyping anything. We map how work moves through your business today, put AI inside the steps that need judgment, and connect the tools you already pay for so records stay in one place.

Servers and support

VPS and cloud infrastructure set up properly: Docker, CI/CD, backups, monitoring and alerts that reach a human when something breaks at night. After launch you can keep us on a support plan for updates, small changes and incident response, instead of hunting for a freelancer each time.

Learn more about servers and support

Devices and smart spaces

Tablets, kiosks and Android devices set up, locked down and managed as a fleet: check-in screens in a lobby, signage, order terminals, sensors and the automations that tie a room together. We handle provisioning, remote updates and the recovery plan for when a device goes offline.

Learn more about devices and smart spaces

SEO and AEO

Classic SEO for Google plus answer engine optimization for ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. We fix the technical basics, structure your pages and schema so machines can quote them, and write the pages that answer the questions your buyers actually type.

Who this is built for

Businesses where people still do by hand what software could do. Six where it pays off first; the approach is the same anywhere.

Healthcare and dental

Private AI on your own server that answers from your documents, scheduling connected to the practice system, and patient data that never leaves your infrastructure.

Real estate

Inquiries, showings and document workflows connected, so a lead gets an answer and a time slot without anyone typing it twice.

E-commerce

Orders, inventory, support and accounting talking to each other, plus AI support that answers from your own catalog and policies.

SaaS and tech

Internal tools, integrations and infrastructure: private AI over your documentation, CI/CD and the servers underneath it.

Law firms

Intake, follow-up and the systems behind them, so no inquiry is lost between the phone, the form and the calendar. Personal injury practices have their own page.

Home services and contractors

A request from the site, the phone or a form reaches the calendar and the CRM in seconds, with the estimate started before anyone picks up a pen.

What We've Built

AI Agents for Business

Where an AI agent takes over routine work. Six departments where it pays off first; the full list of 120+ tasks across twelve departments is on its own page.

Which of these is worth doing first?

The cases that return money fastest share three traits: high volume of near-identical work, a clear rule for what "done" looks like, and a person doing it who is expensive or scarce. The free audit finds those three in your business and prices them.

All 12 departments and 120+ tasks →

How We Work

A transparent, predictable process from concept to deployment.

Discovery & Strategy

We audit your current revenue leaks (missed calls, slow lead response, AI search invisibility) and scope exactly which AI systems will deliver the fastest, measurable ROI for your business.

Architecture & Design

Creating UI/UX mockups, defining the RAG pipeline, and planning the server architecture.

Development & AI Setup

Coding the frontend/backend, training and connecting AI agents, and setting up prompt engineering.

Deploy & DevOps

Secure deployment to VPS, setting up CI/CD, backups, and handing over the final product with ongoing support.

What this kind of work typically delivers

The three scenarios below are illustrative, not named client results. They describe the kind of outcome projects like these are built to produce, and what we would scope toward on your free audit.

Scenario: support hours down

A support desk that answers from its own documents

A private AI system on the practice's own server reads thousands of pages of internal documentation and answers routine questions instantly, so staff time goes to the cases that actually need a person. A cost reduction around 40% is the kind of result this setup is scoped to reach.

Scenario: fewer calls lost

After-hours calls that turn into booked meetings

A voice agent picks up the overflow and after-hours calls that used to reach voicemail, qualifies the caller and books the meeting. When a business is already losing a third of its calls, doubling booked appointments is a realistic target for this kind of build.

Scenario: infrastructure bill cut

A high-load app moved off expensive managed services

Moving an application from per-seat managed services onto a Dockerized VPS with CI/CD, backups and monitoring keeps the same uptime at a fraction of the monthly cost. Savings in the range of 60% are typical when the old stack was priced for scale the business never reached.

Illustrative scenarios, not case studies of named clients. Actual numbers depend on your call volume, data and market, which is what the free audit measures.

What Implementation Costs

We price by scope of work, not by seats or features. Every engagement starts with a free audit, and you get an exact number before anything begins.

One Process
$2,500 – $6,000

One workflow, running end to end.

  • Phone → forms → CRM → calendar, connected
  • Or a voice agent deployed and integrated
  • Or a website / web app, built and shipped
Full Build
from $15,000

Custom software, built from scratch.

  • Bespoke software and complex RAG
  • Full DevOps + security review
  • Dedicated ongoing support

The bands meet at $6,000 and $15,000 on purpose: at the boundary it is the amount of custom build, not the number, that decides which one you are in. The free audit puts you in one and gives you the exact figure.

Care: $300–500/mo · monitoring, fixes, updates after launch Active support: $750–1,500/mo · ongoing work and new workflows Consulting: $150–200/hr

Want to start smaller? FirstReply, our AI receptionist, is $500 setup + $549/mo flat. Live in 48 hours, no per-minute overages. Not sure what you need? and we'll scope it.

When we are the wrong call

Four situations where hiring us wastes your money. We would rather say it here than on the audit.

Wrong fit

You want the cheapest possible website

A five-page brochure site with no integrations and no one maintaining it is a $500 job on a template marketplace, not a $2,500 one here. We are worth the difference only when the site has to talk to something else, or when someone has to answer the phone when it breaks.

Wrong fit

You want AI because it is AI

If the process underneath is broken, undocumented or done differently by every person on the team, an AI agent automates the mess faster. We will say so on the audit and scope the fix first, which is usually less exciting and cheaper than what you came in asking for.

Wrong fit

You need a full-time in-house team

If you have a product with a roadmap for the next two years, hire people. We build, hand over and support what we built; we are not a substitute for an engineering department you actually need to own.

Wrong fit

Nobody on your side can make decisions

These projects need one person who can say yes to a scope and open access to the systems. Without that, every build stalls in week two, and you pay for the waiting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our process, security, and pricing.

What services does IG Digital Lab provide?

IG Digital Lab builds and runs eight things: custom software, websites and web apps, mobile apps, AI for calls and chat, AI workflow automation, servers and support, devices and smart spaces, and SEO and AEO. Most projects combine two or three of them, because the AI only pays off when the software and the infrastructure under it work too.

Do you work with businesses in Sacramento in person?

Yes. Our office is at 3550 Watt Ave, Suite 408, Sacramento, CA 95821, and we come on site across the Sacramento area for IT support, servers, device setup and project kickoffs. Software, AI and SEO work is delivered remotely, so we take those clients nationwide. See our Sacramento services.

How much does it cost?

Implementation is priced by scope of work, not by seats. One process runs $2,500-$6,000, connected systems $6,000-$15,000, and full custom builds start at $15,000. After launch, support is $300-500/mo (Care) or $750-1,500/mo (Active); consulting is $150-200/hr. Our AI receptionist FirstReply is a separate product at $500 setup + $549/mo flat. Book a free audit and we will scope your project and give you an exact quote.

Is my corporate data safe when using your AI agents?

Yes, we prioritize security by deploying Private AI models (such as LLaMA or Qwen) directly on your own secure VPS infrastructure. This ensures zero data leakage to public models like OpenAI.

How long does it take to integrate an AI agent into my workflow?

Deployment typically takes between 1 to 4 weeks depending on the complexity of your requirements, including custom CRM integrations and secure infrastructure setup.

Can you integrate AI agents with our CRM?

Yes, we specialize in CRM integrations. Our AI systems can automatically capture leads, qualify them via chat or voice, and book appointments directly into your calendar via API, fully automated.

What is an AI voice agent and how does it help my business?

An AI voice agent is a 24/7 AI receptionist that answers your phone calls, qualifies callers, handles common questions, and books appointments, even at 2 AM on weekends. Industry data shows that ~35% of calls to small businesses go unanswered. An AI voice agent eliminates that revenue leak entirely. When a business is already missing a third of its calls, recovered bookings are what pays the setup cost back, usually within the first 30-60 days. The free audit measures your actual call volume before we quote.

Will you get my business recommended by ChatGPT and other AI search engines?

Yes, this is our AI Search Visibility service (Answer-Engine Optimization, or AEO). We structure your brand, content, and schema so that ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and similar AI tools cite and recommend your business when prospects ask relevant questions. Important context: only about 12% of AI-cited URLs overlap with Google's traditional top-10 results, so AEO is a genuinely separate surface. Most of your competitors haven't invested in it yet. That's the opportunity window. Learn more about our AEO service.
