Custom AI Agent Development Company | Hire Payne

The pitch: "AI will transform your business."

You tried ChatGPT but you know there's so much more to AI.

You know AI can — and will — change everything. You just haven't found what actually works for your business.

That's where we come in. At Hire Payne, we build custom AI agents — not another language model or website chatbot but virtual employees who have real skills, real memory, think for themselves and have the ability to follow up with leads, process invoices, send emails, manage your calendar — and it just gets better the more you use it.

While you're working — it's working.
While you're sleeping — it's still working.

What Our Clients Say

Agents = Results.

"It followed up with a lead I completely forgot about. The guy sent a deposit that afternoon. I was literally making lunch."

Brad K. — Business Owner

"I'm a one-man operation but clients think I have a full team. Outreach, scheduling, meeting recaps — all handled by the agent."

Marcus R. — Agency Owner

"Paid for itself in the first week. It found three overdue invoices I missed and sent reminders automatically. That alone covered the cost."

Billy T. — Consultant

"We rolled it out to our sales team. Within a month every rep had a personalized agent that knew their pipeline cold. Close rate went up 22%."

Tim S. — CTO, 12-Person Startup

"I was drowning in admin. Now the agent handles invoicing, scheduling, and client questions while I do the work I was actually hired for."

Sarah L. — Freelance Designer

"First week I was testing it. By week three it was handling CS emails and flagging repeat buyers to upsell. It noticeably gets better every week."

Lisa M. — E-commerce Founder

Who This Is For

Sound like you?

🏢

Small Business Owners

You're doing the work of five people. You need to automate follow-ups, invoicing, scheduling, and client communication — but you don't have the team or the time to figure it out.

📈

Agencies & Consultants

You're a one-person show that needs to look like a full operation. Outreach, onboarding, reporting — your agent handles the back office so you handle the clients.

🛒

E-commerce & SaaS

Customer support is eating your margins. You need 24/7 coverage that actually resolves issues, upsells intelligently, and doesn't require a call center.

🚀

Founders Who Move Fast

You know AI is the edge. You don't want to spend months learning prompt engineering — you want a production agent running this week.

Who's Behind This

Hire Payne was founded by John Payne — one of the earliest users on the OpenAI platform, building in the Playground before ChatGPT even launched. When most people were still figuring out what a prompt was, we were already deep in production AI systems.

Today we work across the full stack — OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, RAG pipelines, multi-agent orchestration, and custom tool integration. Not just one model, not just one framework. Whatever your business needs, we build with the best tool for the job.

Newport Beach, CA. Small team. Big output.
