AI automation for your front office

Start your morning with new clients already booked.

Every call answered. Every lead followed up. Every meeting booked. More clients, same team.

Last night, five people tried to reach you.

A missed call at 5:47. A quote request at 6:52. A voicemail at 8:14. Your office closed at five, so every one of them is still waiting.

We fix the front office.

The four places business is won or lost. Each fix comes from a catalog of approaches already proven at other firms, connected to the tools you already pay for.

Every inquiry answered in minutes.

Day or night, every call, form, email and message gets a reply in your firm’s voice, and the meeting lands on your real calendar.

Inbound inquiries: Missed-call text-back, instant replies, AI receptionist, qualify and book.

We never touch your back office.

Billing, accounting, tax, policy or case systems and HR stay exactly as they are. We connect to your CRM and calendar only to log contacts and book meetings.

What the research says.

We don’t sell AI. We install fixes for problems that independent research has measured again and again.

Chris, founder of Tech Latte, with a coffee

The person who assesses your office builds the fix.

I’m Chris. I’ve spent about 40 years in technology: leading sales teams, building products, running marketing and taking software to market. I’ve run a business, and I build AI systems for my own every day.

I started Tech Latte because most owner-run firms lose business in the front office and have nobody to fix it properly. I don’t bill you a hundred consulting hours. I take the time to understand your office, install fixes that are already proven elsewhere, and answer the phone when you call.

Your price is in writing before we start. Your client data stays in your accounts. A real person handles every sensitive conversation.
