Catch the lead
Voice intake, forms, missed-call capture, follow-up notes, CRM handoff.
The Machine Layer
Strange interface. Useful machinery.
Threshold builds small custom AI systems that replace messy manual workflows: calls become notes, invoices become fields, jobs become clean closeout packets, and websites become living demos.
Clean the paper
Invoices, receipts, PDFs, photos, extracted fields, review queues, exports.
Run the job
Crew closeout, tickets, schedules, payroll review, manager dashboards.
Sell the thing
Living sites, product demos, interactive explainers, branded portals.
One workflow. One working slice.

The Build Path
From mess to machine.
Bring one broken workflow. Threshold maps the inputs, builds the working slice, and leaves you with a system your business can actually use.
Bring the mess
A call script, inbox, spreadsheet, invoice pile, job board, or repeated manual task.
Map the machine
Inputs, rules, edge cases, people, tools, and handoffs. Review points before automation.
Build the working slice
A testable version first: real screens, real flow, real enough data to judge.
Cut over or keep refining
Deploy it, document it, support it, or expand once the first machine earns its keep.
Every build should produce something you can touch: a map, a working system, and a next move.
Show me the workflowAccountability
Useful weird, grounded.
Strange on purpose. Plain where it matters: one workflow, clear boundaries, human review, testable work.
OperatorBuilt by Max Toms through Toms Town LLC.
First sliceStart small enough to judge before a platform promise appears.
Human reviewAutomation keeps a person in the loop where judgment matters.
Data boundaryNo passwords, private customer data, or sensitive documents in the first message.
Send one workflow you want replaced.
