Elyisius helps Juneau small businesses bring AI into their day to day work. We're based in Soldotna, and since you can't drive to Juneau, most of our work together happens online. We own a small business ourselves, so we get what it's like when everybody's busy at once. AI is one of the tools we use, but it's not all we do. Branding, websites, marketing and lead follow up are part of it too, and we connect it all as one system.
Call (907) 953-7384 or use the form below.
You won't have to learn a whole new setup. We tie together the software you already use and let AI take on the reminders and the routine replies. You're still the one who decides.
Before anything gets built, we go through how leads and bookings come in, how work gets passed along and what tools you're using. You tell us what's been a headache, and we find the one fix that'll help you most to start.
The same tasks come around again and again, especially in a busy season. Automation handles those for you. AI takes the ones that need a bit of thinking, like reading a question and working out where it goes.
If a question comes in while you're slammed with a ship in town, someone still hears back. The details are saved and a time's set, so you can pick it up without starting over.
Leads, bookings, who's handling what and your reports all end up in one system. So you know where the week stands without having to ask around.
We get the software you already have talking to each other, so nothing has to be typed in twice. And if nothing off the shelf fits how you run, we build intelligent software that's custom to your business. It does the tasks and the duties so you don't have to.
Since you can't drive to Juneau, your guests book ahead and come in by plane or by boat. Winter brings the session crowd and summer brings visitors, and they ask very different questions. We can help answer both, confirm the stay and send the arrival details, airport and ferry notes included.
Downtown Juneau feeds lawmakers and their staff from January into May, and then cruise visitors from late April on. That's two rushes on one small kitchen. We help take reservations and big group requests, answer the same hours question again and again, and ask happy guests for a review.
South Franklin Street runs right past the cruise docks, and the visitors in your shop have to be back on the ship by evening. A lot of them keep thinking about something after they've sailed. We can help answer what's in stock, take the order from someone who's already left and follow up once they're home.
If you run tours or charters in Juneau, your day runs on the cruise schedule, and one late ship can shift everything. We help handle the inquiries, confirm times and send out where to meet, so you can focus on the trip instead of your inbox.
State government is a big part of Juneau's economy, and a lot of local firms serve people who work in it or around it. When the session starts in January, the calls, meetings and paperwork all show up together. We help with intake, scheduling and reminders, so your team isn't buried in email.
Juneau is the state capital, and there's no road in. People get here by air or by water, on the ferry into Auke Bay or a cruise ship at the downtown docks. That gives Juneau two busy seasons on one calendar. The legislature meets from January into May, and cruise season runs from late April into October.
We're based in Soldotna, and the things we build run right inside the software you already use. So being a flight away doesn't change the help you get, and most of our work with Juneau businesses happens online.
Businesses on Douglas Island, in Auke Bay and out in the Mendenhall Valley can work with us the same way.
Off the road system, reached by air or water
Here's how we go about it with a Juneau business, or any business in Alaska.
Our first job is finding what's hurting your business most right now. The software gets picked after that. It's easy to start with a shiny tool and end up with five subscriptions and the same busy season, and we'd like to save you that.
It gets to know your services, your rates, your policies and how you talk to your guests and customers. If it gave everybody the same generic answer, nobody would want to use it for long.
Before it's switched on, we work out with you what it's allowed to read, what it's allowed to change, what it can't ever send by itself and who it goes to with questions.
That includes your CRM too. Nobody wants one more thing to open when a ship's in and the shop is full, so we keep it right where your team already looks.
Pick one and see the work live.
Yes, Elyisius works with businesses in Juneau. We're based in Soldotna, and since Juneau is off the road system, most of our work with you is done online. We help Juneau owners bring AI into their work and build AI systems around the way they already run. But AI is just one of our tools. A good share of our work is your brand, your website, your marketing and following up with leads.
AI can help a Juneau business most when the shop's full of ship passengers and nobody can get to the phone. It can answer the inquiry, help confirm a booking and keep an order moving from question to confirmed to paid. And you still decide how your business runs.
Yes, and that's a big reason to have it. With the session in winter and the ships in summer, there isn't a long quiet stretch to fix how things run. So we set it up to work through both rushes. The fall, after the last ships leave and before the session starts, can be a good time to get it in place.
Yes, we can meet in person. We can meet you at your business, or we can get on a video call.
No, you don't need anyone technical. You know how your business runs and where it gets stuck, and that's what we need from you. We take care of what we put in, and before we turn it on, we write down with you what it's allowed to do.
For a Juneau business, the first step is a presence and a system evaluation. We look at your social media, your Google Business Profile, your website, and how leads, handoffs, software and ownership move through your business, and we listen to the things you're having problems with. After that, we find the one problem that's worth fixing first.
What it costs depends on what your business needs, and there are a lot of options, which is why every job starts with discovery and a system evaluation. We build the smallest thing that removes the problem, and it's measured against what that problem already costs you every month. That way you can weigh the work against the time and money you're already losing to it. We're glad to give you some price ranges if that helps. Even better, if you let us know what you'd like to spend and what you need done, we'll put together the best options we can for that.
You'll see something working once the first process is built, because we start with the issues that are costing you time, money and frustration. Starting small means you're not waiting on a big project to finish before anything changes. You get to watch it work on your real messages before we build the second one, and if something needs adjusting, that's when we find out.
