Human. AI. Both.
You decide.

The gap

Help shouldn't mean a hire you can't afford.

Most founders get stuck between three bad options. We built the fourth.

01

An agency

Three to five thousand a month, long contracts, and a junior account manager who learns your business on your dime.

02

A full-time hire

Salary, benefits, and the risk of getting it wrong before you even know what you need them to do.

03

Doing it all yourself

AI tools everyone says will save you, that you never have time to set up, that quietly become another job.

Flat monthly fee, no placement charge Vetted talent, managed for you AI built in as you grow
The mix

One relationship. Three ways to work.

Start where it makes sense today. Slide toward more human or more AI whenever the work changes.

Human

A dedicated operator

A real person who owns the relationships, the judgment, and the work that needs a human in the loop.

Most chosen
Both

Human, multiplied by AI

One operator runs the show while automation handles the volume. The work of a small team, owned by one person you know.

AI

Always-on automation

Defined workflows that run day and night with no sleep and no scale limit, configured and maintained for you.

Use cases

Real setups, in plain English.

Two of the setups we run. Same idea: a trained human, backed by AI, doing the work that used to need a full hire — or getting missed entirely.

Case studyLocal HVAC · residential service

Never miss another call, quote, or follow-up.

An AI assistant answers calls and texts 24/7, qualifies leads, books appointments on the calendar, sends estimates, and follows up on unsold quotes — reducing admin work while converting more inquiries into revenue.

Illustrative example based on a real setup · your numbers will vary

Fully managed by a human.

We set the whole thing up, tune it to how your business actually runs, and keep it working. You don't touch a dashboard, wire up tools, or write a prompt — you just get the calls booked and the quotes closed.

Case studyEmerging consumer brand · wholesale sales

A wholesale pipeline without a $150K sales hire.

Instead of hiring a $150K sales rep, the brand uses a trained human VA supported by AI to identify buyers, personalize outreach, manage follow-ups, and book wholesale meetings — building a sales pipeline at a fraction of the cost.

~$130K/yr
Saved vs. a full-time senior sales hire — salary, benefits, and ramp time.

Fully managed by a human.

We hire and train the VA, wire up the outreach and CRM tooling, and keep the pipeline running. You get intros and booked meetings — not another tool to babysit.

FAQ

Answers to what people ask us.

How Hire Both compares to hiring a VA, an agency, or setting up AI tools yourself.

What is Hire Both?

Hire Both is a managed service that pairs a vetted virtual assistant with always-on AI automation. We hire and train the human, set up the AI tools behind them, and run it all for you under one flat monthly fee. You get one point of contact — not a stack of software to babysit.

How is this different from hiring a VA on Upwork, Fiverr, or an offshore agency?

Traditional VA marketplaces hand you a resume and leave you to manage, train, and tool them yourself. Hire Both delivers a trained operator plus the AI automation stack behind them — call answering, CRM, outreach, follow-ups — fully configured and maintained. You get the output of a small team, not another hiring project.

Do I have to set up the AI tools myself?

No. We pick the tools, wire them together, train them on your business, and keep them running. You don't touch a dashboard or write a prompt. The AI is invisible infrastructure behind a human you can talk to.

What kinds of businesses is Hire Both for?

Founders and growing teams who've outgrown doing everything themselves but can't yet justify a full-time hire. We work especially well for local service businesses (HVAC, plumbing, home services), emerging consumer brands doing wholesale sales, agencies, and B2B teams that need lead qualification, outreach, or customer service coverage.

How much does it cost compared to a full-time hire?

Plans start around $4,000/month, all-in. That's the trained operator, the AI automation stack behind them, and the management layer. A US-based full-time hire with the same output typically costs $80K–$150K per year plus benefits, tools, and ramp time.

Can I start with just AI, just a human, or both?

Any of the three. Some clients start with an always-on AI setup (24/7 call answering, outbound outreach). Others start with a dedicated human operator. Most land on the blend — a human running the relationships and judgment calls while AI handles volume. You can shift the mix as the work changes.

How fast can we launch?

Days, not months. A short intake call maps the work, we match a vetted operator, stand up the AI tools behind them, and go live — typically inside one to two weeks. A replacement guarantee is included.

What tasks can a Hire Both operator + AI handle?

Common ones: answering calls and texts 24/7, qualifying inbound leads, booking appointments, sending estimates and following up on unsold quotes, cold outreach and personalization at scale, CRM hygiene, customer service tickets, inbox and calendar management, and reporting. If a task is repeatable, we can run it.
