AI Agent Development in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Cuanto Labs builds AI agents for Fort Lauderdale and Broward County businesses, and this is where we work: our mailing address is 1314 E Las Olas Blvd, downtown. An agent that takes over a repeatable job starts at $5,000 fixed-price and typically ships in 2–6 weeks. Founder Eliran Yihye scopes and leads every build, so the person you meet at kickoff is the person who writes the plan.
Broward's best first agents sit in small operations teams buried in follow-up: a marine service desk answering the same status question about a haul-out, a contractor's office turning photos and notes into estimates, a distributor near Port Everglades matching paperwork to purchase orders, a law office sorting new intake. Each is a job someone does forty times a week, which is exactly what an agent should take.

How much does AI agent development cost in Fort Lauderdale?
AI agents start at $5,000 from Cuanto Labs, with a focused agent typically between $5,000 and $15,000, fixed-price and written down before work begins. Running costs are model usage, usually tens to low hundreds of dollars a month at small-business volume. Bigger systems with several connected workflows are quoted after a scoping call.
How long does an AI agent take to build in Broward?
A scoped agent typically takes 2–6 weeks from kickoff to production. Because we are based on Las Olas, the first working session at your office or yard is usually within the week, which shortens discovery. The timeline is in the written proposal, and the agent runs on real examples early.
Which Fort Lauderdale businesses benefit most from AI agents?
Small operations teams with heavy follow-up: marine service desks, contractors, freight and distribution offices near Port Everglades, property managers and law offices. The common thread is messy inbound information, such as emails, photos and PDFs, followed by a routine decision a person has to make dozens of times a week.
Is an AI agent the same as a chatbot?
No. A chatbot answers questions in a conversation. An agent does work: it reads a request, looks up records, drafts the quote or updates the system, and leaves a log. Chatbots are simpler and cheaper. Agents need permissions and approvals, which is where most of the build effort goes.
Who should build my AI agent in Fort Lauderdale?
Choose a team that will tell you what not to automate, shows you the approval and logging design before building, and hands over the accounts and prompts. At Cuanto Labs, Eliran Yihye scopes and leads each project from Fort Lauderdale, and the proposal fixes the price and timeline up front.

What we build for Fort Lauderdale businesses
Quote and estimate agents
Agents that turn a customer thread, photos and a parts list into a draft quote or estimate, ready for the owner to approve and send.
Customer follow-up agents
Status updates, appointment reminders and missed-call text-backs handled in your voice, with a person pulled in when a customer is upset or the question is new.
Paperwork matching
Agents that compare invoices, delivery documents and purchase orders and flag the mismatches a person should look at.
Intake agents
First-line intake for law offices and service companies: collect the facts, check them against your rules and hand a clean file to the right person.
Agents for field crews, front desks and back offices
Fort Lauderdale runs on the water and on the trades. Yacht service yards, marine suppliers and refit shops along the New River and the Intracoastal deal in quotes, parts lists and customer updates that live in email and text threads. General contractors and subcontractors across Broward lose hours to estimates and change orders. Port Everglades and the freight and cruise businesses around it generate documents that have to match before anything moves. An agent helps most where information arrives messy and a decision follows: it reads the thread, pulls the part number or job record, drafts the reply or estimate and waits for a person to approve it. We build from the Las Olas side of town, so a working session at your yard or office is a short drive, and we test on the phones and inboxes your people actually use.

How a project runs
- 1. Discovery call. Thirty minutes on the problem, the timeline and the budget. No deck, no pitch.
- 2. Fixed-price proposal. Scope and a number, in writing, before any code exists.
- 3. Build in the open. You get a working version in week two and review progress weekly.
- 4. Launch and hand over. Code, repositories and accounts transfer to you at the end. They are yours.
- 5. Support if you want it. A monthly retainer is optional and never a condition of handover.

Fort Lauderdale questions we get asked
Can you work on site at our yard or office?
Yes. We are a remote team with no storefront, but we come to your premises in Broward for kickoff and a working session, and watching how the job really gets done is often what shapes the agent. Build and testing then run remotely.
We use QuickBooks and a few spreadsheets. Is that enough to start?
Usually, yes. An agent can read and write spreadsheets, email and accounting software. We begin with the one job that costs you the most hours and connect only the systems that job needs.
Will the agent send messages to customers on its own?
Only if you want that. The default is that it drafts and you approve. Once you trust a category, such as appointment reminders, we can let it send those unattended while keeping everything else behind approval.
What does it cost to run after launch?
Model usage is usually tens to low hundreds of dollars a month at small-business volume, plus hosting if the agent runs in the cloud. We give you the estimate before you commit, and an optional retainer covers fixes and changes.
What if an agent is the wrong answer?
We say so. If a scheduled job, a better form or a shared inbox rule solves it for less, we recommend that. An agent is worth building when the work is frequent, takes judgment about messy input and can be checked.
