What We Do

Two ways we move
your business forward.

Each engagement starts with understanding your stack and your goals — not a templated solution dropped in your lap.

01 ——
AI Automation &
Workflow Engineering

Custom automation pipelines that eliminate manual work, connect your existing tools, and run without babysitting. From simple integrations to multi-system LLM-powered orchestration.

The Real Cost of Doing Nothing

Your biggest competitor
isn't another business.
It's wasted time and money.

Most businesses aren't short on ambition — they're buried in manual tasks, locked into SaaS tools they barely use, and running on systems that were never designed to work together. Every day that goes unaddressed is revenue left on the table.

×
SaaS Subscriptions
Nobody Actually Uses

You're paying monthly for five tools that do three jobs. Features that overlap, seats that sit empty, platforms that made sense two years ago but nobody logs into anymore. That's real money leaving your business every single month — quietly, automatically, without anyone noticing.

×
Hours Lost to
Manual Busywork

Copy-pasting data between systems. Manually sending the same report every Monday. Updating spreadsheets by hand. Chasing people for status updates that could trigger themselves. Your team's time is your most expensive resource — and right now, a significant chunk of it is going to work that should have been automated.

×
Disconnected Tools
Creating Blind Spots

Your CRM doesn't talk to your project management tool. Your billing platform doesn't sync with your reporting. Data lives in three different places and nobody fully trusts any of it. When your systems don't connect, decisions get made on incomplete information — and that costs more than any subscription.

Free 15-Minute Discovery Call

How much is your business
leaving on the table right now?

Most business owners are surprised by the answer. In a single 15-minute call, we can identify which of your SaaS tools are redundant, which manual processes could be fully automated, and what a realistic roadmap looks like for your specific business — at no cost and with zero obligation. The only thing it costs you is 15 minutes.

Who's Behind It

Built by someone
who's already done it.

Cione Solutions was founded by Nico Cione, an AI Automation Engineer with hands-on experience building production automation systems, LLM-powered workflows, and custom tooling for real businesses — not just demos.

Having built internal automation practices from the ground up — spanning CRM integrations, AI digest pipelines, market intelligence dashboards, sales tooling, and Slack bots — the work here isn't theoretical. It's the same methodology applied directly to your business.

The firm works best with small to mid-sized businesses that move fast, have real operational friction, and want solutions that actually ship — not six-month consulting engagements with a 200-page deck at the end.

How It Works

From first call
to live solution.

A straightforward process designed to move fast and stay aligned — without unnecessary overhead.

01
Discovery Call

A free 15-minute conversation to understand your stack, your team's pain points, and where automation or AI can have the most impact. No pitch — just listening.

02
Scoping & Proposal

A concise written proposal outlining specific solutions, deliverables, timeline, and fixed pricing. You know exactly what you're getting before any work begins.

03
Build & Iterate

Work begins quickly. You're kept in the loop with progress updates and have input at key checkpoints. Most projects ship within days, not weeks.

04
Handoff or Manage

Choose a full handoff with documentation, or opt into managed hosting where we monitor, maintain, and update your automation long-term.
