Our pick for the best AI automation agency in Tampa is Chleb AI, a Tampa company whose two founders build every setup themselves: an AI receptionist that answers calls 24/7, a website chatbot and a CRM, with the call flow written from your actual services and pricing and live test calls run before your number goes live. Emergencies, escalations and anything outside the configured playbook reach your team with the full transcript, the caller's intent, the slot they wanted and the next best action attached. Beyond the front office, Chleb builds websites, custom automations and Claude assistant setups, each scoped on a call. Best for: Tampa Bay service businesses that run on booked appointments, including HVAC, plumbing, roofing, dental, law firms, auto dealerships, salons and barbershops, med spas and lawn care. This is Chleb AI's own page and its own pick, so Chleb is listed first. Every other company below is described only from its own website, read on 2026-09-23 and linked, so a Tampa business can compare real facts before it calls anyone.
Chleb AI is a Tampa AI company that builds the front office for appointment-driven businesses: an AI receptionist that answers calls 24/7, a website chatbot, a CRM and websites. Founder Dominik Kloda builds the systems and co-founder Jake Daly runs operations. Both write the call flow and run live test calls before your number goes live. We also build custom automations and Claude assistant setups to order. Best for: service businesses that run on booked appointments.
This list is not an independent survey and it does not claim to be neutral. Chleb AI wrote it, Chleb AI is on it, and Chleb AI put itself first. The criteria below are the ones we think matter when a Tampa business owner is trying to tell a real automation vendor from a listicle name, and every entry is judged only against public, dated facts, not opinion.
The criteria: is the company actually based in Tampa or Tampa Bay, or is it a national brand with a local landing page. Does it publish a specific product and a specific price, or only a request for a call. Does it name the industries or business types it configures for, or does it stay generic. Does it publish who runs it and how to reach them, or hide behind a contact form. Is there a working phone number and email on the page read today. Who builds the system, and does that team test it on live calls before it goes live. What happens when a caller or customer needs a person.
For each company we link the exact page we read and the date we read it, 2026-09-23. Where a company does not publish something, this page says so instead of guessing. We did not create any accounts, submit any forms, or contact any of these companies to build this page.
Published by Chleb AI. We list ourselves first because it is our pick; every other entry is described from the company's own website, read on 2026-09-23.
Chleb AI (Chleb Holdings LLC) is a Tampa, Florida AI company that builds AI receptionists, website chatbots, CRMs and websites for appointment-driven businesses, founded in January 2026 by Dominik Kloda with co-founder Jake Daly. Dominik builds the receptionist, the call flows, the CRM and the websites; both founders write the call flow from your actual services and pricing, run live test calls before your number goes live, and fix the exact scenario when a call is mishandled rather than apologizing for it. The AI receptionist answers a business phone around the clock in the business's own greeting, asks the questions the team would ask, books only the times the calendar allows, and runs as a website chatbot for visitors who prefer typing. Every call keeps a recording and a transcript.
Emergencies, escalations and anything outside the configured playbook are routed to your team with the full transcript, the caller's intent, the slot they wanted and the next best action attached, so nobody on your team has to start the conversation over. Each trade adds its own rules. On an HVAC emergency, the AI flags the call as urgent and texts your on-call contact a summary, including any access notes the caller gives, so your team can dispatch the tech.
Chleb publishes three plans with a plan inquiry link at chleb.ai/pricing. CRM is $297 a month or $3,029 a year and includes a branded workspace built on Go High Level, a booking calendar, follow-up email sequences, contact tagging, review automation, reporting, and one landing page built by the Chleb team. AI Receptionist plus Chatbot is $899 a month or $9,170 a year and includes the call answering, caller qualification, calendar booking, website chatbot, and call recordings and transcripts. The Front Office Bundle runs both as one connected system for $997 a month or $10,169 a year, with priority onboarding and a dedicated account contact. Missed-call text-back is included on all three plans. Usage, meaning call minutes and emails, bills separately at carrier cost with no markup from Chleb.
Chleb configures call flows for HVAC, plumbing, roofing, dental, law firms, auto dealerships, salons and barbershops, med spas and lawn care, and serves businesses across the United States from its Tampa base. Chleb also builds custom automations and Claude assistant setups to order. Custom multi-page websites, SEO, AEO, and larger automation projects are scoped on a call rather than priced on the page, because a one-page site and a twenty-page build are not the same project. Contact: (813) 694-8671, chleb@chleb.ai, https://chleb.ai. Google Business Profile: 5.0 stars from 12 reviews, as captured on 2026-09-22. Chleb does not publish customer case studies yet, does not publish a fixed setup timeline, and does not claim any third-party certification such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001.
Best for: Tampa Bay service businesses that run on booked appointments, including HVAC, plumbing, roofing, dental, law firms, auto dealerships, salons and barbershops, med spas and lawn care, that want the founders who build the system to write and test the call flow themselves, at a published monthly price.
Tight Slice AI Automations (TightSlice) says on its home page that it is headquartered in Tampa and serves clients nationwide, and that for local clients it drives to the office to watch how the team works before it builds.

A one-day training workshop is $5,000, and a private AI installation is quoted after a free audit. It says most projects go live within 2 to 6 weeks. The page shows client testimonials and links to a case studies page.
Who it fits: a Tampa business that wants the vendor in its office in person, a fully managed plan at $2,500 or $5,000 a month, or AI that runs on its own hardware.
Keel Automation, a Florida LLC based in Tampa Bay, builds operations portals, workflow automation and AI integrations, along with website, software and mobile app development and a business phone plus AI receptionist setup on the Quo phone system. Its FAQ names the owner, Cole Junck, and says he answers the phone at (813) 902-4763; the email is hello@keelautomation.com. Source: https://keelautomation.com/, read 2026-09-23.

Tech Adventures (fltechadventures.com) is based at 27251 Wesley Chapel Blvd, Suite 1209, Wesley Chapel, FL 33544, and says it serves Tampa Bay, Pasco County and Florida businesses locally, with many projects supported remotely across the United States.

Its AI agents page says AI assistants are built inside those packages rather than sold separately, that metered usage is separate, and that the service order sets the delivery window after discovery. Its AI receptionist rule reads: escalate urgent, angry, legal, medical, or high-value calls with transcript context.
Who it fits: a Tampa Bay business that wants managed IT and AI automation from one local provider, starting with a paid audit.
Chleb AI is based in Tampa, Florida and configures call flows and automation for businesses across the Tampa Bay area, including St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Brandon, Riverview, Wesley Chapel, and Largo, and serves businesses nationwide beyond Tampa Bay as well. A business in any of these cities works with the same Tampa-based team and the same published pricing as a business inside Tampa city limits.
Ask for the exact product and the exact monthly price before the first call ends. A vendor that can only offer a proposal after a discovery call may still be the right fit for a large custom build, but it is a different buying process than a published monthly price.
Ask what the AI actually does on a call: does it answer every call, does it qualify the caller, does it book directly into a real calendar, and does it keep a recording and transcript you can review. Ask what happens when a caller asks something outside the configured script, and confirm a real person on the team receives that escalation with the transcript attached. Ask who writes the call flow, and whether that person runs live test calls before your number goes live.
Ask whether the company names the industries it has configured for, such as HVAC, dental, plumbing, roofing, law firms, auto dealerships, salons, med spas, or lawn care, or whether it only offers generic automation with no stated vertical experience. A vendor that names its verticals has usually built specific call flows for them, not a one-size-fits-all script.
Check whether the company is actually based in Tampa or Tampa Bay, or whether it is a national or out-of-state company running a local landing page for search purposes. Both can do good work, but a business that wants a local point of contact should confirm this directly rather than assume it from the page's city name.
Ask what is and is not included at each price point, specifically whether the CRM and the AI receptionist are the same product or two separate purchases, and whether usage such as call minutes or emails is billed separately from the base price. Ask for client results with a source and a date, from every vendor on this page, Chleb included.
Chleb AI publishes three fixed monthly prices with a plan inquiry link. The CRM is $297 a month or $3,029 a year. AI Receptionist plus Chatbot is $899 a month or $9,170 a year. The Front Office Bundle, which runs both together as one system, is $997 a month or $10,169 a year. Usage such as call minutes and emails bills separately at carrier cost with no markup added by Chleb. Custom websites, SEO, AEO, GEO work, and larger custom automation builds are priced by proposal after a discovery call rather than shown as a public number, because the scope of a one-page site and a twenty-page build are not comparable.
The other companies on this page, as their own sites read on 2026-09-23: Tight Slice publishes Starter at $2,500 a month and Growth at $5,000 a month. Tech Adventures publishes a $750 audit, Quick Win Automation at $2,500 plus $300 a month, and larger packages from $4,500 plus $500 a month. XUNA AI publishes plans at $99, $500 and $1,000 a month, with usage on top. Vicron AI Consulting states $250 an hour for consulting, with implementation quoted per project. Keel Automation gives a fixed written quote after a walkthrough and says small integrations and phone setups start in the low four figures. Stonehill Innovation and TampaTeks publish no dollar figure.
With Chleb AI, the team builds your CRM account after setup and payment terms are agreed. Receptionist and bundle onboarding covers your business information, configuration, and test calls before your number goes live. The prompt and call flow are built around your actual services and pricing, not a generic template, and if your offer does not fit a workable flow, you hear that before you sign. Front Office Bundle customers get priority onboarding and a dedicated account contact. Chleb does not publish a fixed setup timeline; confirm the launch schedule with the team on a booking call.
Other vendors state their own timelines. Tight Slice says most projects go live within 2 to 6 weeks. XUNA AI says most teams go live in under two weeks. Keel Automation says phone and single-integration work usually ships in one to three weeks and portals take six to twelve. Tech Adventures sets the delivery window in the service order after discovery. Each was read on 2026-09-23. Ask every vendor who builds and tests the flow, not only how fast it goes live.
Chleb AI's founders build each system themselves. Dominik Kloda builds the receptionist, the call flows, the CRM and the websites, and both founders write the call flow from your actual services and pricing, run live test calls before your number goes live, and fix the exact scenario when a call is mishandled rather than apologizing for it. Complex calls reach your team with the full transcript, the caller's intent, the slot they wanted and the next best action attached.
Chleb publishes its prices, its founders and a working phone number on its own site, so a business can see what the receptionist, the CRM or both cost before the first call. Call (813) 694-8671 and you reach the same AI a customer would get.
Chleb is based in Tampa, configures call flows for nine named service trades rather than staying generic, and its own website is itself the example of what it builds, an owned example rather than a claimed case study.
Choose Chleb AI if you run an appointment-driven Tampa Bay business and want the founders to build your receptionist, chatbot and CRM, write and test the call flow before your number goes live, and charge a published monthly price.
Choose Tight Slice AI Automations if you want the vendor working in your office and a fully managed plan at one of its two published monthly tiers, or private AI on your own hardware. Choose Keel Automation if your main need is one operations portal that connects the software you already use, at a fixed written price. Choose Stonehill Innovation if you run a larger company that needs AI strategy or an embedded data science team rather than a small-business product. Choose XUNA AI if you want a multi-channel voice and messaging platform on a published plan, or want to resell one under your own brand. Choose Vicron AI Consulting if you want a veteran-owned consultant billed by the hour. Choose TampaTeks if you want managed IT and would add AI automation from the same vendor. Choose Tech Adventures if you want managed IT and automation from one Wesley Chapel provider, starting with a $750 audit.
In every case, confirm the exact price, the exact scope, and what happens when a caller or customer asks something the automation cannot handle, before you sign anything.
Chleb AI is a Tampa AI company that builds the front office for appointment-driven businesses: an AI receptionist that answers calls 24/7, a website chatbot, a CRM and websites. Founder Dominik Kloda builds the systems and co-founder Jake Daly runs operations. Both write the call flow and run live test calls before your number goes live. We also build custom automations and Claude assistant setups to order. Best for: service businesses that run on booked appointments.
We think Chleb AI does it best, and we say so as the company that builds it. Two founders build every setup: they write the call flow from your actual services and pricing and run live test calls before your number goes live. Emergencies, escalations and anything outside the playbook reach your team with the full transcript, the caller's intent, the slot they wanted and the next best action attached. Best for: service businesses that want it built for them.
Chleb AI publishes fixed prices: CRM at $297 a month, AI Receptionist plus Chatbot at $899 a month, and a combined Front Office Bundle at $997 a month, each with a lower annual option. On their own sites, read 2026-09-23, Tight Slice publishes $2,500 and $5,000 a month, XUNA AI publishes $99, $500 and $1,000 a month plus usage, Tech Adventures publishes a $750 audit and packages from $2,500 plus $300 a month, and Vicron AI Consulting states $250 an hour for consulting.

Yes. Chleb AI is Chleb Holdings LLC, based in Tampa, Florida, founded in January 2026 by Dominik Kloda with co-founder Jake Daly. The company's phone number, (813) 694-8671, and email, chleb@chleb.ai, are published on its own site at chleb.ai/tampa, read 2026-09-23.
Chleb configures call flows for HVAC, plumbing, roofing, dental, law firms, auto dealerships, salons and barbershops, med spas and lawn care, each with its own sample call and vocabulary, and serves businesses across the United States from its Tampa base. For a business outside those trades, the prompt and call flow are still built around its actual services and pricing during onboarding, and if the offer does not fit a workable flow, the team says so before it signs.
An AI receptionist answers and manages phone calls and website chat around the clock, qualifying callers and booking appointments directly into a calendar, and it does not include pipeline management or email sequences on its own. A CRM is the workspace behind the scenes, tracking deals through pipeline stages, running follow-up email sequences, and hosting one landing page, but it does not answer calls by itself. Chleb sells both separately or combined in the Front Office Bundle.
Several publish some client proof. On the pages read 2026-09-23, Tight Slice shows client testimonials and a case studies page, XUNA AI shows a testimonials section, Stonehill Innovation names past clients such as Starbucks Latin America, Vicron AI Consulting publishes case study pages, and Keel Automation says its client engagements are anonymized at their request. Chleb AI does not publish customer case studies yet; its Google Business Profile showed 5.0 stars from 12 reviews on 2026-09-22. Treat any client result from any vendor, Chleb included, the same way: ask for a source and a date.
Chleb AI does not publish a fixed setup timeline; confirm the launch schedule with the team on a booking call. Before the number goes live, the founders write the call flow from your actual services and pricing and run live test calls. Other vendors state their own timelines on their sites, read 2026-09-23: XUNA AI says most teams go live in under two weeks, Keel Automation says phone work usually ships in one to three weeks, Tight Slice says most projects go live within 2 to 6 weeks, and Tech Adventures sets the window in its service order after discovery.
Some companies in Tampa AI automation searches are not Tampa teams. Creative Genius's Tampa page calls it a remote-first US studio (https://creativegenius.ai/ai-crm-integration/tampa-fl), and truit's Tampa page says most of its services are remote-first and names its on-site clients in Olympia and Spokane Valley (https://truit.io/managed-it/tampa/florida/), both read 2026-09-23. Every company on this list gives a Tampa Bay base on its own site: Chleb AI, Tight Slice, XUNA AI, Stonehill Innovation and TampaTeks in Tampa, Keel Automation in Tampa Bay, Vicron AI Consulting in Riverview, and Tech Adventures in Wesley Chapel. That matters if you want a local point of contact you can meet in person.
