onething.tools is a small software studio. We automate repetitive work for US small businesses, starting with the one task you'd most like to stop doing.
Four kinds of work. Most projects start with one task from one of them.
A form comes in, and someone has to notice it, copy it somewhere and reply. We set this up so each new lead reaches the right person and gets a first reply, and nobody has to remember the follow-up.
A CRM only helps if the data gets there. We connect it to your forms, inbox, invoicing and calendar, so the same contact doesn't get typed in three times. We read the API docs before we quote. If a connection can't be done cleanly, we'll tell you.
The report someone builds by hand every Friday. The estimate retyped as an invoice. The files renamed and sorted one at a time. If the steps are the same each time, a script can usually do them and flag the odd cases for a person.
AI fits work that's too messy for fixed rules. We keep a person in charge of anything a customer sees, and if plain rules would do the job, we'll use those instead.

Pick one task you repeat and put in rough numbers. This shows what it costs today, not what automation would save. Some of that time would stay, and the build has a price too.
Use the form on this page. Say what the task is, how often it happens and which tools it touches. A rough description is fine.
We check whether your software has an API or export that allows this, and we ask about anything we can't see from the outside.
Both in writing, before any work starts. If the task isn't worth automating, we'll say so.
We run it on real cases with you, fix what breaks and write down how it works, so you aren't stuck with something nobody can explain.
Client automation is new for us, so there are no case studies here. This is software we built and run ourselves, and you can try most of it right now.
This is a new service for us, so we don't have client case studies to show you yet. What you can check is the software we've already built, most of it free to use.
It depends on the task, so we don't post prices. You get a written scope and price before any work starts.
We can't promise that. The calculator on this page shows what a task costs today. Whether automating it pays off depends on the price of the build and how much of the task can really go away. We'll go through that with you in the scope.
Anything with a usable API, webhook or export. That covers many CRMs, email and calendar apps, spreadsheets and invoicing tools, but not all of them, so we check yours before we quote.
No. A lot of repetitive work runs fine on plain rules and scripts, which are easier to check. We suggest AI only where the input is too messy for rules.
Every automation fails sometimes. An API changes, or a form gets a new field. The scope spells out who watches for that and what support looks like after handover.
No. They're still free, with no sign-up.
Describe the task you'd hand off first. We'll read it and tell you whether it looks like something we can automate.
