AI in Soldotna, Alaska

Elyisius is based right here in Soldotna, and we help local businesses bring AI into the way they already work. We're a small business too. So we know what it's like to answer customers, chase leads and then carry it all home at night. AI is one of the tools we use, but it's not all we do. We help with your brand, your website, your marketing and your lead follow up too, and we tie it all together into one system.

How AI fits into a Soldotna business

You won't need to add another subscription. We hook up the tools you already have, let AI handle the follow ups and the busy work, and leave every decision with you.

Systems and Digital Evaluation

We start by looking at where your business is at, from your Google Business Profile and your website to your social media, and how leads and work get from one person to the next. We listen to what's been frustrating you. Then we pick the problem that's worth fixing first.

AI Automation

Plenty of what happens in a week is the same every time, so automation can handle it. AI picks up the things that need a little reading first, like figuring out what a message is asking and who it belongs to.

Custom AI Agents

If a customer reaches out while you're tied up, they still hear back with a real answer. Their details get taken down and a time gets set, so you know the whole story by the time you get to it.

Business Systems

Every lead, every job, who's handling it and how the numbers look, all in one system. You can check on your week without chasing anybody down.

Intelligent Software

First we get the programs you already use talking to each other, so nobody types the same thing twice. When nothing on the market fits how you work, we build intelligent software that's custom to your business. It does the tasks and the duties so you don't have to.

Businesses here in Soldotna we can help

Contractors and builders

Soldotna's where the Sterling Highway meets the Kenai Spur, so if you build here, estimate requests can come in from K Beach, Funny River Road and Sterling all in one afternoon. A lot of them show up while you're up on a roof. We can help make sure each one gets a reply, the site visit gets booked and the quote gets followed up, so nothing's sitting there waiting for you to get back to the truck.

Heating, plumbing and home services

If you run a service outfit out of Soldotna, you're covering Kenai, Sterling and Kasilof from one junction. When the cold sets in, the calls come in faster than anybody can return them from under a house. We help get the details written down, the no heat calls moved to the top and a time texted back.

Clinics and health practices

Central Peninsula Hospital is right here in Soldotna. At a smaller practice in town, reminders, reschedules and new patient calls all land on the same front desk. We can help send the reminders, offer an open slot to the next person waiting and answer the everyday questions, so your staff can stay with the patient in front of them.

Fishing guides

Soldotna sits right on the Kenai River, and in summer you're on the water most of the day. Meanwhile people keep asking about dates, and they'd like an answer tonight. We can set it up so they hear back, the date's held, the deposit's taken and the what to bring list goes out. By the time the boat's back, it's handled.

Soldotna, where we're based

Soldotna sits at the bend of the Kenai River where the Sterling Highway meets the Kenai Spur, and it's the commercial middle of the central peninsula. A lot of the businesses along the highway, out Kalifornsky Beach Road and up Funny River Road serve the whole road system, not just town. So the phone and the inbox end up doing a lot more of the work than the storefront does.

This is home for us. We run a small business here too, and we've run into the same problems you have, day to day and week to week. Being based in Soldotna means we can sit down with you in person whenever that helps. Most of the work happens inside your systems, but the hard questions about how your business really runs are easier to talk through across a table.

From here we also work with businesses in Kenai, Sterling, Ridgeway, Kasilof and Nikiski. We can meet you at your business, or we can get on a video call, and most of the work after that happens right inside your own tools.

Based here

How we work

We do it the same way for every business, whether you're down the street in Soldotna or anywhere else in Alaska.

  • First we find what's costing you the most

    Before we talk about any software, we want to know what's eating up your time right now. Once we know that, picking the tool is the easy part. Otherwise you can end up with a pile of subscriptions that don't change the week, and we've been there too.

  • It gets to know how you do things

    We teach it your services, the way you price things, your terms and how you talk to people. Generic answers don't help anybody, so it's built around yours.

  • You decide what it's allowed to do

    We sit down with you and write out what it can see, what it can change, what it never sends without a person and who it checks with. Nothing gets turned on until you're good with all of it.

  • It shows up where you already work

    That's your inbox, your CRM and your calendar. On a busy day you won't have to remember to open something new, because it's already sitting in front of you.

  • We stay with it after it's built

    Things change, in your business and in the software underneath it. With managed operations we look after what we built, fix it when something shifts and keep making it better. Either way, the build is yours.

Questions we hear from Soldotna owners about AI

  • Is there an AI company in Soldotna

    If you're looking for help with AI in Soldotna, Elyisius is based right here in town. We're a Soldotna company that helps small businesses bring AI into their work, whether that's putting it to use in the tools you already have or building AI systems around the way you run. AI is one of the tools we use, but it's not all we do. We also work on branding, websites, marketing and lead follow up, and we connect all of it so it runs as one system.

  • What can AI do for a small business in Soldotna

    AI can take the jobs that depend on somebody remembering and make them happen the same way every time. That's things like answering an inquiry, following up on a quote and moving a job from booked to invoiced. It picks up the reminders and the busy work, and you're still the one making the decisions.

  • Do you work with businesses in Kenai, Sterling and the rest of the peninsula

    Yes, we work with businesses all over the peninsula and beyond. We're based in Soldotna, with Kenai, Sterling, Kasilof and Nikiski close by, and because most of the work is online, we also work with Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau and the Mat-Su Valley. Since the work runs inside your own tools, the distance stops mattering after that first meeting.

  • What kinds of Soldotna businesses do you work with

    We work with Soldotna business owners whether you're just starting out or you've been at it for years, and you don't need anybody technical on staff. Contractors, clinics, home services, lodging, gyms and fitness studios, and agencies are the ones we build for most, and any small business is welcome. Wherever you're at, it starts the same way, with a system evaluation that shows where your time is going.

  • Do we need somebody technical on staff

    No, you don't need anybody technical on staff. You just need to know your business and what's getting in the way. We stay responsible for what we put in, and we write down together what it's allowed to do.

  • How do we get started with AI in Soldotna

    To get started with AI in Soldotna, we begin with 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. From there we find the one problem that's worth fixing first. We tell you the truth about where your business is at, so you can see where the time is going before you spend anything on a fix.

  • Can we meet in person

    Yes, we can meet in person. We can meet you at your business, or we can get on a video call.

  • How much does it cost

    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.

  • How long before we see something working

    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.
