AI Agency in Delray Beach, FL
By Eliran Yihye, Founder
Published · Updated
Cuanto Labs is a founder-led AI agency based in Fort Lauderdale, serving Delray Beach and southern Palm Beach County. We build AI agents, chatbots and document automation on OpenAI and Anthropic models, from $5,000 fixed-price, typically shipping in 2–6 weeks. Eliran Yihye scopes your project, and we meet in person across Palm Beach County.
Delray Beach is a coastal city in southern Palm Beach County, just north of Boca Raton, best known for Atlantic Avenue's restaurants and shops, the Pineapple Grove arts district and its beach. The businesses behind that are mostly small teams: restaurants, boutiques, studios, wellness and professional practices, and real estate offices. Owners here wear several hats, so AI pays off where it takes over messages and paperwork they would otherwise do after closing.
How much does AI development cost in Delray Beach?
AI agent projects start at $5,000 from Cuanto Labs, and a focused assistant or sorting agent for a small business typically runs $5,000 to $15,000 as a fixed price, agreed in writing before work begins. Running costs are the model providers' usage charges, usually modest at the volume of a small team.
What can AI do for a Delray Beach restaurant, studio or shop?
It can answer the repeat questions about hours, menus, classes and pricing at any hour, turn messages into a booking list and draft replies for you to approve. It does not run the floor or teach the class. It handles the messages that arrive when you are busy with the people in front of you.
Can AI connect to the tools a small business already uses?
Often, yes. Scheduling, point-of-sale, email and CRM tools commonly offer an API or an export we can read. We confirm what yours allow during scoping, before the price is fixed. If a tool offers no connection, we say so and suggest the simplest workaround.
How long does an AI project take for a Delray Beach business?
A scoped assistant or sorting agent typically ships in 2–6 weeks. A simple inquiry assistant sits at the short end, and one wired into your booking and payment tools takes longer. You see a working version early, so you can correct its tone and answers before customers ever meet it.
Who owns the AI system after it is built?
You do. The code, repositories and accounts transfer to you at handover, so you can run it, change it or give it to another developer. Support after launch is optional, and you pay the model providers for usage directly, so the running cost is visible.

What we build for Delray Beach businesses
Inquiry and booking assistants
Answers to hours, pricing and availability questions at any hour, with bookings prepared for the owner to confirm and anything unusual handed to a person.
Email and form sorting
Inbound emails, contact forms and requests read, labelled and turned into a short list the team works through each morning, instead of a crowded inbox.
Reply drafting
Routine replies to customers, members and clients drafted in your own tone for a quick read and send, with the owner always approving first.
AI inside your existing tools
Summaries, search and classification added to the scheduling, point-of-sale or CRM tool you already pay for, with no second system to learn.
AI for small teams on and around Atlantic Avenue
Delray Beach's commercial life centers on Atlantic Avenue and downtown, Pineapple Grove, the beachfront and the Federal Highway, Congress Avenue and Linton Boulevard corridors. Hospitality, retail, real estate, wellness and professional services make up most of the local businesses, and many are owner-run with a small staff. In practice, the first projects tend to be an inquiry assistant that answers hours, booking and pricing questions at any hour, a way to turn emails and forms into a tidy list for the team, and drafting help for routine replies, with the owner approving. We are a Fort Lauderdale team with a Las Olas mailing address; we meet owners at their business, then run the build over calls and shared documents so it fits around opening hours.

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.

Delray Beach questions we get asked
How do I choose an AI agency in Delray Beach?
Most Delray Beach businesses are small and owner-run, so look for an agency that scopes small and prices fixed, not one that sells a platform subscription. Ask what the first useful version is and when you would see it. Ask who owns the code and accounts at handover and what you pay each month to keep it running. Ask what they would refuse to automate, and get the price in writing.
Do you meet in person in Delray Beach?
Yes. We are based in Fort Lauderdale and meet clients in person across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach, so a meeting on or near Atlantic Avenue is routine. We have no office for visitors, so we come to you. After kickoff, build and testing run over calls and shared documents, which suits owners with little free time.
We are a small team. Is AI worth it for us?
Sometimes. If the same few questions and forms take an hour or two of your day, an inquiry assistant or an email sorter can pay for itself. If you handle a handful of requests a week, a better booking form or a template is cheaper. We tell you which it is during scoping.
Will it reply to customers without my approval?
Only if you want that. The default is that it drafts and you approve. Once you trust a category, such as answering opening hours, we can let it reply on its own while pricing, complaints and anything else stay behind your approval.
What if AI is the wrong tool for our problem?
Then we tell you. Many small-business problems are solved by a clearer website, a booking tool or a rule in your inbox, and those cost less to build and almost nothing to run. We would rather point you there than sell you AI.
