Duy Nguyen, founder of Sharpr Automations
Why Sharpr exists

The work should carry itself.

Every agency says they'll transform your business with AI. Most of them discovered automation eighteen months ago. So instead of promising, here's where this comes from. Judge for yourself whether it's your kind of operation.

I grew up above my parents' restaurant in Brussels. They arrived in Belgium with nothing and built the place from scratch. I watched two people carry an entire business on their backs. Every booking taken by phone. Every order written by hand. Every invoice, every supplier, every late night: a person, doing it manually, because there was no other way.

Then I spent more than eleven years at a global engineering software company, teaching engineers in aerospace, automotive, and robotics how to make serious software do the heavy lifting. The tooling was extraordinary. So were the invoices. That kind of operational leverage was priced for companies with six-figure budgets. Nobody was building it for businesses like the one I grew up in.

Sharpr is me closing that gap.

These days I build inside the largest AI-development community in the world — 300,000+ builders, several thousand in its professional tier. It's where Sharpr's patterns come from, and where our builds get pressure-tested.

The stance

Six-figure leverage. Without the six-figure invoice.

AI is the biggest shift in operational leverage since the spreadsheet, and by default it flows to whoever already has the most. Enterprises get the innovation budgets, the consultants, the transformation programmes. The 20-person firm where the owner still answers the phone gets a chatbot subscription. We think that's exactly backwards. The businesses that run on someone's evenings are the ones automation was supposed to help.

What we hold ourselves to

Values are cheap to write. Here's where each one costs us something.

You own everything.

Every system ships with every key, a plain-English runbook, and open-source foundations. If we disappeared tomorrow, your systems wouldn't notice.

mechanism: the Build handover

Honesty about fit.

There's a list on our homepage of who shouldn't hire us. The Audit is money-back if it finds nothing worth building. We'd rather lose a deposit than waste your quarter.

mechanism: the fit call + the guarantee

Hours returned, not features shipped.

The only score that counts: did your team get time back. A system that adds a dashboard to check and a tool to learn has failed, however clever it is.

mechanism: the Audit's return-math

Proof before promises.

Sharpr runs on the systems we sell. The intake assistant answering this site, the pipeline reading your enquiry, the newsletter that writes itself every week — ours first, yours second.

mechanism: the live systems →

Each system sharper than the last.

Nothing ships perfect. It ships working, then improves every month. That's what Operate is for. The hundredth system we build is sharper than the ninetieth, and yours inherits all of it.

mechanism: monthly extensions in Operate

What's in it for us.

Worth saying plainly: our model only works if your systems keep working. Operate only exists when a system is live and paying for itself, and you can cancel it any month. Our incentive is giving you back enough hours that you tell another business owner where they went.

mechanism: month-to-month, cancel any time
See it for your team

Let's see what we can take off your plate.

Twenty minutes. We'll look at where your hours go and tell you honestly whether the Audit is the right first step — or whether it isn't a fit yet.

20 minutes·no deck·we'll tell you if it isn't a fit
