We build the automations that let your team handle 10x the clients without 10x the headcount.
AI Automation for Agencies Who’d Rather Scale Than Grind
You’re Stuck Trading Hours for Dollars
The bottleneck:
• Content production
• Every new client means more hiring
• Your team is buried in repetitive tasks instead of strategy
We Build Systems That Multiply Your Capacity
Tenon SEM builds AI-powered automations using Claude Code (Anthropic’s agentic coding platform) to handle the work that’s eating your margins. We also use n8n, Make.com and Zapier. We like all kinds of solutions.
Why Claude Code? Honestly, it’s one of several AI platforms we’ve used for building these things. Perplexity, ChatGPT…all are welcome.
Example of an n8n.io workflow that uses a connection to an LLM api.
50 Websites. One Automation. Two Years Running.
We built an AI-powered system to solve a time-sensitive pain point for a prominent Charlotte marketing agency.
• The problem: Agency needed to scale content across 50 client sites
• What we built: AI-powered content automation using Claude
• The result: $15k/mo recurring revenue, 2-year engagement
But we didn’t stop there. One of the agency’s high-volume clients needed better visibility into how well their customer services team was doing on their phones.
• We built a CallRail integration: AI lead scoring from phone conversations
• The result: 18% increase in close rate

FAQ About AI-Powered Workflows
What’s Claude Code?
Claude Code is a connector for your development environment. It allows you to use Claude to create enhancements to your site’s code right from your platform or IDE.
How is this different from Zapier, Make.com or n8n?
Instead of chaining together complex automations, Claude Code builds a robust system that combines directives, orchestration and executable actions. This gives you more rapid development and you can easily augment or modify existing automations with less risk of breaking things downstream.
What does it cost?
This will depend on the scope of your project.
How long until we see results?
If it’s a cold email generator, you can see results in days once the system is pushed live. Other kinds of results rely on getting a reasonable dataset response which could push meaninful results out to weeks.
Do you work with agencies outside Charlotte?
Yes. We work with agencies and end clients from all over the United States.
What if I don’t get results we agreed on?
You get your money back.
