Every business has work that runs on repeat: the same emails, questions, and follow-ups. We find solutions that take that off your plate.

Your morning brief, Tuesday
Good morning, Emma! Today's priorities are two client meetings and a quote going out. Full details below.

Low-hanging fruit
The Hendricks quote is ready to go out. They already know the number, so it should be an easy one.
Our mission
We started Bend AI Labs because the businesses that make Central Oregon what it is (breweries, vacation rentals, real estate firms, and more) deserve access to AI that answers customer questions, shows you how your business is running, and takes repetitive work off your hands. It saves you hours, brings in more customers, and leaves you more time for the parts you enjoy.
What we build
Guest messaging, appointment booking, lead intake, review responses. Whatever your team does on repeat every day, we put it on autopilot. You get the hours back.
Your business has rules, processes, and know-how living in your head or scattered across emails and spreadsheets. We build an AI that holds all of that. Anyone on your team can ask it anything, and because it knows how you work, it can draft the documents and decks you would otherwise build from scratch.
We build websites and apps shaped around exactly how your business works. Booking forms, client portals, intake flows. AI-powered, so we get them live fast and keep improving them as your business changes.
That's where most people we work with begin. A few things we hear a lot:
If any of that sounds familiar, the assessment is how we find out what's worth doing. We'll tell you where AI fits your business and where it doesn't.
How it works
A working session in person or over a call, whichever is easier. Then a full report we go through together: your pain points, the solutions we found, and where to start, beginning with the low-hanging fruit. That may be an existing tool or something we build or set up for you. The report is yours whether you build with us or not.
We build what you need, whether it came out of the assessment or you already know what you want. Each solution has a fixed price and 30 days of support after launch. And if you started with an assessment, what you paid for it comes off your build.
What clients say
“Edward built me a second brain that saves me hours every week. It reads my texts and inbox, hands me the day already sorted, and writes my listing updates in my voice using the real numbers.”
“The app worked great, no issues that we encountered at all. We will definitely keep you in mind for the future, it was a pleasure working with you.”
Who we are
Edward Esslemont founded Bend AI Labs after 15 years building products and AI solutions for hundreds of millions of people at Meta, X, and Plaid.
The opportunity we keep seeing: the same AI tools powering the world's biggest companies are available to every business in Bend. We're here to help the Bend community seize it.

Get in touch
The assessment is $499 through September 30, half the usual $1,000. You pay once it's delivered.
