# Almanac Office

> Almanac Office sets up AI agents for local service businesses in Utah. The agents handle the owner's admin (quotes from the price sheet, follow-ups, reschedules, unpaid-invoice reminders, customer questions) inside the calendar, phone, job, and accounting software the business already uses, and nothing goes to a customer without the owner's approval until the owner says so. It starts with a one-session AI Jumpstart, in person on the Wasatch Front. Almanac Office also builds websites in 7 days and runs local marketing: local SEO, Google Business Profile, reviews, an AI receptionist, and Meta ads. AI does the work; one human operator (Gavan Ganung, Salt Lake City) directs and reviews it.

Key facts:
- Serves: service businesses across Utah (Wasatch Front in person; the rest of the state remotely). Cleaning, window washing, landscaping, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, pest control, and similar.
