AI systems · Central Coast, CAAI systems for Central Coast businesses
The busywork, handled. So you can run the business.
We set up the systems that answer your calls, write up every detail, and keep your CRM current. Built for owner-run businesses on the Central Coast, by someone who lives here.

GroundWork runs on the same systems it builds · nothing here we don't live on
How it works
No pitch decks. No jargon. Three steps.
01
Walk the ground
We start in person, at your shop, your office, your kitchen table. We watch how work actually moves through your business and find the places where hours leak out: the calls, the copying, the chasing.
02
Build the system
We build one piece at a time and prove it works before it touches anything real. You see it running on your actual calls and customers before you rely on it. Plain English the whole way, no jargon, no black box.
03
Keep watch
Once it's running, we stay on it. The system is monitored around the clock, and when your business changes, it changes with it. Something feels off? You call the person who built it.
Not sure automation fits your business?
That's a fine reason to talk. If it doesn't fit, we'll tell you. We live here, and our name rides on it.
Proof · Senior placement, San Luis Obispo
Corina's day used to disappear into her phone. Now the phone works for her.
Corina places seniors in care homes. Families call at hard moments, and every call carries details that matter: care needs, budgets, timelines, names.
Before
Details lived in memory and on notepads. Every day of calls ended with a second shift of write-ups and record-keeping.
After
Every call recorded, transcribed, summarized, and filed to her CRM the same day, nothing typed by hand.

The point of all this
The hours come back. Spend them somewhere better.
A note from the founder
Local isn't a marketing angle. It's the whole point.
I'm Hayden Perhach. I live on the Central Coast, and I'm building GroundWork here on purpose.
Every other automation firm serving this area works out of L.A. or San Francisco. When someone builds the system your business runs on, you should be able to look them in the eye, and they should know what you mean when you say “the Tuesday problem is back.”
GroundWork runs on the systems I build: research, outreach, operations, handled automatically while I focus on clients. That's the standard your system gets built to.
