Work with me

I don’t sell AI. I build the boring systems that let your business run without you.

Most automation dies in 30 days because nobody learned the business first. I embed in your operation, build what actually holds, and stay until your team runs it without me.

About

Giko Studio is led by Pauline — an operator first.

I managed people before I managed systems. That order matters — it’s why the systems we build actually hold on the ground.

I’ve been behind a $4.76M e-commerce brand running 42,000+ orders a year, and built the ops backend for agencies drowning in their own delivery.

Real talk: ~95% of AI projects fail, and almost none fail because of the model. They fail at deployment — built by people who never understood the business they were automating. That’s the gap we close. A decade of real operational experience, with AI built at the core of it — systems that deploy, hold at volume, and that your team owns.

Proof

This isn’t theory. It’s already working.

Flagship — Cold-storage & logistics SME · custom ERP

Off-the-shelf couldn’t run their business. So we built the system that could.

For years they ran on paper and manual admin — even with a warehouse system in place — and those workarounds quietly capped their growth. Their overtime-charging logic alone has more rules than any template ERP can absorb.

We built a custom system shaped around how they actually work: shipping-list PDFs parsed → auto-invoice, AR/collections auto-aging, HR + their exact overtime logic encoded, on Azure + M365. Core infra live in 2 days.

“The people doing the work still recognize their own process — it just runs itself now.”

$4.76M E-commerce Brand

anonymized

Built the full ops infrastructure — AI-powered customer service, automated reporting, warehouse KPIs, cross-country compliance. Then a custom attribution system found a leak no one knew existed: Meta overcounting conversions by 66% (six figures misallocated), $1M+ untapped revenue in the existing base, 48% of revenue organic/direct — not ads.

The founder went from guessing to knowing.

Marketing Agency

anonymized

Client delivery was chaos; now it’s a system the founder doesn’t have to touch. Onboarding workflows, automation pipelines, and AI agents that took the founder out of every decision.

Multi-client ad dashboard built in a single day.

The businesses building AI into their operations correctly — operation first, model second — are pulling ahead. The ones rushing the model and skipping the operation are the 95% that stall. The gap compounds every quarter.

How we work

We don’t automate the chaos. We fix it — then build the system that runs it.

No slideware. We embed, diagnose, and build — forward-deployed inside your business.

Learn

Operations Audit

We map how your business really runs and find where the money and the hours are leaking. You get a process map, a bottleneck report, and an honest AI Fit Assessment — including where AI does not belong.

Low-risk first step: you walk away knowing exactly what to fix, whether or not we keep working together.

Build

Custom Systems

We rebuild the workflow itself, in real code, scoped from what we find — with AI where it actually helps. Trained on your SOPs and your rules, built to hold at volume, not to demo.

Built for your team, never a template.

Run

You Own It

Your team runs it without us. Optional: keep me on as a fractional Chief AI Officer to keep the systems sharp as you grow.

The whole point is systems that work without us — the retainer is a choice, not a trap.

We’ll tell you honestly whether your business is ready for custom AI, where to start, and whether AI is even the right tool for what’s hurting.

Not every business is ready — and we’ll say so.
