Questions, answered plainly.
The things people ask before they talk to Joshua. If yours isn't here, the fastest answer is five minutes with Joshua AI.
What does Strahes actually build?
Custom AI applications and operational systems that take over the repetitive work running your company. Engineered from the ground up, owned by you. Joshua is an engineer and builder, not a marketing agency, and not a reseller of off-the-shelf tools.
How is this different from ChatGPT or a no-code tool like Zapier?
Those are fine for simple, light tasks. But when the work is complex, repetitive, and measurable, and it is actually running your operations, you need a real system built around how your business works. That gets engineered, not glued together, and it does not break as you grow.
Do I own what you build?
Yes. Every system is engineered from the ground up and owned by you. It is not a subscription you rent. It runs on your terms, on your business.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends entirely on the scope of the problem, so there is no list price. That is exactly what the Sit-Down is for. Joshua learns what is going on, tells you in plain words whether he can help, and scopes it from there. No pitch, no pressure.
How long does it take?
It depends on the build, but Joshua moves fast. One client had a full custom platform engineered, branded, and selling in under 40 days, after another team had spent six months on it with nothing to show. The first engagement focuses on erasing the repetitive work that is eating your team.
What is the process?
The Implementer Method: a Sit-Down, which is a 30-minute discovery conversation, then a clear framework with no hidden costs, then Joshua builds and implements the system. You work directly with the person engineering it, with no account managers in between.
Do I need an AI strategy before we start?
No. You bring the problem. Joshua spent twenty years inside businesses like yours before he ever built AI, so he starts by understanding your operations, then engineers what actually fits.
Who is this for?
Serious companies with work that is complex, repetitive, and measurable. Joshua qualifies on the problem, not your headcount. If a simple tool would solve it, he will tell you that and point you toward one.
What about my data and security?
Joshua runs his own business on the same kind of systems he builds for clients. If he would not trust it with his own operations, he will not sell it to you. The specifics for your build get covered in the Sit-Down.
How do I get started?
Spend five minutes with Joshua AI, the agent on this site. Tell it what is eating your week. It figures out whether this is a fit and, if it is, books a Sit-Down with Joshua right there.
