## Questions
### What does SomeDesign do?
SomeDesign is an AI automation and design studio in Toronto. We find the repetitive work in a business, hand it to AI and software, and build websites that take bookings, orders and sign-ups. We also design apps for startups, and brands.

### What happens in the free workflow audit?
It's a 30-minute call. You walk us through how your week runs, and we point out what AI or software could take over and roughly what it would take. You leave with ideas you can use whether or not you work with us.

### Do you work with small businesses?
Yes, a lot of our clients are local: swim clubs, bakeries, cafés, salons and service companies. We automate their busywork and build websites that take bookings, orders and registrations for them.

### Do you work with startups?
Yes. We help founders go from idea to launch: product design, MVPs, AI features, and the brand and website around them. We've designed products for venture-backed teams like Adopt AI, SamaCare and Kea AI, and worked with AlleyCorp, the New York venture firm and studio.

### Can you automate our business workflows?
Yes. We look at where your team's time goes, then hand the repetitive parts to software: intake, scheduling, quoting, follow-ups and reporting. For a swim club, we rebuilt the site so one schedule file updates the pages, pricing and registration banners at once.

### Can you build an AI assistant for our website?
Yes. We build custom assistants like Mochi, the one on this site, with your own name, character and brand colours. They answer customers day and night from your services, menu and FAQs, and hand real enquiries to your team.

### Do you design and build, or just design?
Both. Designers and engineers work together in-house, so what you see in the design is what ships, with nothing lost in a handoff.

### Where are you based?
We're based in Toronto and work with clients across Canada, the United States and Asia, remotely or in person.

### How much does a project cost?
It depends on scope. Start with the free workflow audit, or tell us what you're building through the form or at info@somedesign.ca, and we'll come back with a clear proposal.
