Frequently asked questions

What does ChucktownAI do?

ChucktownAI is an AI and software engineering firm rooted in Charleston, SC. We help businesses across the Southeast modernize their tech stack, automate their workflows, and ship custom software. Four core services: AI integration and automation (chat and voice agents, back-office and CRM workflows), custom software and web applications (client portals, admin dashboards, full-stack apps), stack modernization and legacy upgrades (replatforming aging systems and replacing spreadsheet operations), and ongoing engineering partnership (a fractional engineering and AI team).

Do we have to be in Charleston to work with ChucktownAI?

No. We are headquartered in Charleston, SC and work with businesses across South Carolina and the Southeast. Most engagements are remote-friendly; Charleston-area clients can meet in person.

How long do projects take?

Customer service chat agents can go live in under 2 hours. Automations typically take 2-4 weeks including testing. Custom apps ship in 1-2 weeks. Stack modernization projects are scoped in the free consultation. We provide realistic timelines upfront with no surprises.

How much do services cost?

Every business is different, so we scope each engagement individually. Automations and retainers are month-to-month with no long-term contracts; custom software is one-time project pricing, and you own everything we build. Book a free consultation and we will walk through exactly what it would cost for your situation -- no obligation.

Do I need a technical team to work with ChucktownAI?

No technical knowledge required. We integrate with the tools you already use (Gmail, QuickBooks, your CRM) and handle all the engineering, integration, and AI configuration. Everything we hand off is documented, and you keep all the code and workflows we build.

What technologies does ChucktownAI use?

We build on a modern stack: Next.js, React, and TypeScript for applications; PostgreSQL for data; and Vercel for deployment. For AI, we integrate Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Google Gemini, xAI/Grok, Meta Llama, Mistral, and the Vercel AI SDK, plus agent tools including Grok Bot, OpenClaw, and Hermes Agent. The same stack used by leading software companies -- and you own the code.
