Small business AI automation in Vermont
Hunger Mountain Intelligence provides small business automation services in Vermont. I help businesses automate repetitive tasks — data entry, reporting, customer follow-ups, document processing, and internal operations — so owners and employees can put their time into customers, growth, and the work that actually brings in new customers.
I'm Matt Rkiouak, a software engineer based in Middlesex, Vermont. Before starting Hunger Mountain Intelligence, I built AI products at Google Cloud and led engineering teams at companies from early-stage startups to Fortune 500s. Now I work with small businesses in Vermont and New England.
Vermont Industries
Industries I work with in Vermont
Vermont businesses face a specific version of a universal problem: you're growing, your workflows are getting more complex, and you don't have a technology team to help.
- Manufacturing — Automating production reporting, syncing shop floor data with business systems, quality tracking, and inventory alerts.
- Specialty food & beverage — Order processing automation, distributor reporting, inventory management, and compliance documentation.
- Property management — Tenant request routing, maintenance tracking, lease document processing, and automated communications.
- Professional services — Client intake automation, time-and-billing integration, report generation, and follow-up sequences.
- Hospitality — Reservation follow-ups, review solicitation, staff scheduling coordination, and guest communication.
- Nonprofits — Donor communication automation, grant reporting, volunteer coordination, and data consolidation from multiple tools.
- Skilled trades — Estimate follow-ups, job scheduling, invoice generation, and customer communication after a completed job.
How It Works
Simple process, fixed prices
Every engagement starts with a $1,000 AI Action Plan (Automation Assessment) — a 90-minute working session where we walk through your workflows and identify your best automation opportunities. You get a written report within a week with ranked recommendations and fixed-price quotes.
Automations are priced at $3,500–$9,000+ depending on complexity and are typically delivered in about a week.
I work with the tools you already use. No new systems to learn. No ongoing fees in most cases.
Why Local Matters
Not a remote agency in another time zone
I live in Middlesex, Vermont. I'm not a remote agency in another time zone. When you hire me, you're working directly with the person who builds your automation — not a sales rep who hands you off to a junior developer you never meet.
I understand Vermont businesses because I live here. I shop at the same stores, eat at the same restaurants, and deal with the same challenges of running a business in a rural state. That context matters when you're trying to figure out what technology actually makes sense for your situation.
