Business AI Suite

Three agents.
One connected system.

Built on Microsoft Copilot Studio, Power Automate, and Azure AI. Each agent handles a different layer of your operation — and they share data in real time.

Agent 01

Guest Experience Agent

Deployed on your website or Google listing. Answers inquiries, handles bookings, and sends instant confirmations 24 hours a day — without any staff involvement. Every unanswered inquiry after hours is a customer who found someone else.

Copilot StudioSharePointPower AutomateOutlook
Build This Agent
  • 24/7 Inquiry Response

    Answers questions in your business's own voice, any hour, any day. No staff required.

  • Automated Booking

    Writes reservations to SharePoint and fires Outlook confirmations automatically.

  • Staff Escalation

    Flags conversations that need a human and posts them to Teams instantly.

Agent 02

Staff Operations Agent

Lives inside Microsoft Teams. Staff check schedules, flag supply issues, and report maintenance problems without interrupting the manager on the floor. Operational clarity without the chaos.

TeamsDataversePower AutomatePlanner
Build This Agent
  • Schedule Self-Service

    Staff check schedules and submit shift requests without pulling anyone away.

  • Issue Reporting

    Supply shortages and maintenance problems are logged to Dataverse and routed to Planner automatically.

  • Task Creation

    Automatically creates and assigns Planner tasks from staff-reported issues. Nothing gets lost.

Agent 03

Manager Intelligence Agent

Daily briefings, inquiry summaries, and communication drafts delivered automatically every morning via Teams. Powered by Azure OpenAI — your manager starts every day informed and ready, not buried in catch-up.

Build This Agent
  • Automated Daily Briefing

    Guest inquiries, staff issues, and priorities — summarized and delivered before doors open.

  • AI Summarization

    Azure OpenAI synthesizes data from both agents into plain-language management summaries.

  • Communication Drafts

    Staff updates, vendor follow-ups, and guest responses drafted and ready to review — not written from scratch.

All three agents share data in real time — nothing lives in a silo

Our Process

How we work

Every engagement starts free. No client is charged until we fully understand their operation and confirm AI is the right fit.

1

Discover

We spend time inside your operation — learning your tools, your team, and your biggest time drains. We audit your workflow and identify where AI delivers the most value, fastest. If AI isn't the right solution, we tell you.

Free 30–45 minute consultation
2

Build

We configure your agents, build your Power Automate workflows, and connect your Microsoft 365 environment. Every tool is tested against your real operation before go-live. You see progress at every stage.

Built in your Microsoft tenant — your data stays yours
3

Deploy & Support

We launch, train your staff, and document everything. We stay available as your operation evolves — because AI that nobody uses isn't AI. It's just an expense. Monthly retainer clients get continuous improvement, not just maintenance.

Full staff training included on every engagement
The Impact

What AI actually does
for a small business

These numbers come from real-world AI adoption research across small businesses, nonprofits, and service organizations — not projections.

15hrs
Saved per week

Average administrative time recovered when AI is implemented with structured workflows rather than ad hoc tool use.

Reduction in manual data entry errors after implementing AI-assisted scheduling and administrative automation.

Average breakeven

Time to breakeven on AI implementation investment for small and mid-sized organizations, based on recovered labor hours alone.

Shyft Healthcare AI Implementation Case Studies, 2025
Only 7% of small businesses report meaningful AI impact

92% have adopted some AI tool — but most are stuck with one person using ChatGPT for emails while the rest of the team is buried in manual work. That's not a strategy. Nestor Forge builds the system so the whole organization moves.

Virtuous 2026 Nonprofit AI Adoption Report, 346 organizations
Larger organizations adopt AI at nearly twice the rate

Businesses with budgets over $1M adopt AI at 66% vs. 34% for smaller operations. The gap isn't technology — it's access to expertise. Nestor Forge exists specifically to close that gap.

TechSoup and Tapp Network, State of AI in Nonprofits 2025
Response speed is the #1 driver of inquiry conversion

A Guest Experience Agent responds to every inquiry immediately at any hour. Every unanswered message after hours is a customer who found someone else. Speed isn't a nice-to-have — it's revenue.

Harvard Business Review lead response time research
$41,600
in recovered labor value per year

Based on a conservative estimate of 10 hours per week recovered at $20 per hour, time savings from AI automation nearly cover the full annual cost of a Guidance Partner retainer. This doesn't account for increased revenue from faster inquiry response, higher retention from better customer support, or the compounding effect of a team no longer buried in administrative work.

Core Values

What we stand for

Six principles we built this company around. Not marketing language — the actual rules we operate by.

01
Forge with Integrity
"We say what we mean and build what we promise."

If AI is not the right solution for your problem, we tell you. Our reputation is worth more than any single contract.

02
Empower, Don't Depend
"We teach people to fish. We don't just fish for them."

Every engagement ends with the client trained, capable, and equipped — not just served.

03
We Are the Community
"We do not serve the community. We are it."

We show up as neighbors with tools, not outsiders with answers. When small business wins, everybody wins.

04
Guard the Forge
"Power without responsibility is just risk."

Every engagement includes a security review. We never implement tools we haven't vetted for the risks they carry.

05
AI Belongs to Everyone
"We're closing the gap permanently."

No jargon. No enterprise price tags. No gatekeeping. If you own a small business, you deserve every advantage AI can give you.

06
Stay at the Forge
"The day we stop learning, we stop being useful."

We dedicate time every week to testing new tools and updating our methods before our clients ever need to ask.

FAQ

Common questions

The same questions come up in almost every first conversation. Here are the honest answers.

No. That is the point. We build everything inside Microsoft tools your team likely already has — Teams, Outlook, and SharePoint. We configure it, train your staff in plain language, and stay available for questions. Zero technical staff required.
Security is built into every engagement, not an add-on. We build exclusively on Microsoft's enterprise-grade infrastructure — your data lives inside your own Microsoft tenant. We conduct a security review at every stage and never implement tools we haven't vetted for risk.
The Jumpstart Session delivers working tools the same day. A full Business Suite deployment typically takes 2–4 weeks from first consultation to go-live, depending on your existing Microsoft setup and customization needed.
Yes. The Guest Experience Agent works on any device through your website. The Staff and Manager Agents run inside Microsoft Teams, which has full iOS and Android apps. Your team can use them from any phone, anywhere.
Guidance Partner clients have ongoing async support via text and email plus a monthly check-in. We document every workflow and configuration so fixes are fast. We know exactly how everything is built and you are never left figuring it out alone.
No. Restaurants are our flagship vertical but the Business Suite is configurable for any small business. We work with trades contractors, nonprofits, healthcare training organizations, salons, gyms, and more. If you have repetitive processes and a small team, we can help.
