## Pages

- [AI Services Chicago: request form, services and FAQ](https://aiserviceschicago.com/): the one-page site, a smart request form on the left and the services, process, reasons to choose us and FAQ on the right
- [How we run AI agents every day](https://aiserviceschicago.com/proof/): Media Express runs its own operations with six AI models that share one workspace, write every change to a log, take a backup before editing and ask the owner before anything irreversible. In about 30 hours our agents moved more than ten websites between servers, checking files by hash. This page shows what happened, what went wrong and which guardrails exist because of it.
- [AI services for Chicago companies](https://aiserviceschicago.com/services/): AI Services Chicago, a service of Media Express LLC, designs, connects and runs AI agents for companies: front-desk and voice agents, customer support, workflow automation, consulting and custom builds. We also design websites, run SEO, marketing and advertising, and build apps, integrations and automations. Every project starts with a written scope, uses accounts you own and keeps a person in charge of risky steps.
- [AI automation agency for Chicago businesses](https://aiserviceschicago.com/services/ai-automation-agency/): An AI automation agency maps a repetitive process, builds it as a workflow on a platform such as n8n, Make or Zapier, and adds an AI agent only where judgment is needed. A good one runs everything on accounts you own, logs each run, asks a person to approve risky steps, monitors failures, and hands you a pack so you can switch it off or take it over.
- [AI consulting for Chicago companies](https://aiserviceschicago.com/services/ai-consulting/): AI consulting is outside advice on where AI will pay off in your company, how to start safely and how to govern it. A good engagement ends with ranked use cases, a data and risk review, a pilot plan with a success measure, vendor criteria and a staff training plan, all written down so your own team can act on it.
- [AI customer service for Chicago companies](https://aiserviceschicago.com/services/ai-customer-service/): AI customer service uses software to read support requests, look up facts in your systems, draft or send answers grounded in your own knowledge base, and hand anything risky to a person with the full context. It works best on routine questions and as an assistant to your team. The company, not the software, answers for what customers are told.
- [AI development company for Chicago teams](https://aiserviceschicago.com/services/ai-development-company/): An AI development company designs, builds, tests and maintains custom AI software, usually an agent: a model connected to your documents and tools, with approvals, logging and security around it. Hire an engineer for continuous work you can manage, use an agency for a bounded build, and buy a product when one already does the job.
- [AI receptionist for Chicago businesses](https://aiserviceschicago.com/services/ai-receptionist/): An AI receptionist is software that answers your business calls and chats, handles routine requests such as hours, questions and booking, captures lead details, and passes urgent or sensitive calls to a person with a written note. It suits service businesses that lose calls after hours or while staff are busy. In Illinois, announce call recording at the start of each call.
- [AI voice agents for Chicago companies](https://aiserviceschicago.com/services/ai-voice-agents/): An AI voice agent is software that handles phone calls by turning speech into text, letting a language model decide what to say and using text-to-speech to reply, or by using one speech-to-speech model. Quality depends on response delay, interruption handling and the phone connection. In the US, the FCC treats AI-generated voices as artificial voices under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), so outbound calls need consent.
- [Free AI tools for your business](https://aiserviceschicago.com/tools/): The AI Tools Lab from AI Services Chicago is a free set of calculators, planners and an audit for sizing up AI agents before you spend anything. Every tool runs in your browser, nothing you type is sent to us or anywhere else, and there is no signup. Pick one, read your result and share it only if you choose to.
- [AI agent ROI calculator](https://aiserviceschicago.com/tools/ai-agent-roi-calculator/): This free AI agent ROI calculator turns your own task numbers into a payback estimate. Enter people, hours, cost per hour, the share an agent could take over, running cost, setup cost and ramp-up time. You see hours freed, the net result per month, the payback month and the twelve and twenty-four month totals across three scenarios. It is an estimate, not a forecast.
- [Is your company ready for AI agents ?](https://aiserviceschicago.com/tools/ai-readiness-audit/): Answer ten questions about your processes, data, tools, people and risk rules. You get a score out of 100 and the three areas to work on first, with links to the pages that explain each one. The check runs in your browser, stores nothing and is a self-assessment, not a measurement of your systems.
- [Build your AI team](https://aiserviceschicago.com/tools/ai-team-builder/): The AI team builder turns your departments into an org chart of AI agents. Pick sales, support, operations, finance, HR, documents, company knowledge or research, decide which duties run alone and which ask a human first, and see the approval gates and the audit log. It runs in your browser, sends nothing anywhere and is a planning aid, not a forecast.
- [Which process should your first AI agent take?](https://aiserviceschicago.com/tools/first-ai-agent-picker/): Start with a process that repeats often, follows clear rules, uses data you can reach and can be corrected if the agent gets it wrong. The picker scores up to six of your processes on those points and draws a map with four zones: start here, prepare first, quick win and skip for now. It runs in your browser and is a planning aid, not a measurement.
- [Missed call loss calculator](https://aiserviceschicago.com/tools/missed-call-calculator/): This free missed call calculator turns your own numbers into an estimate of the revenue that walks away when calls go unanswered. Enter calls per workday, the unanswered share, how many are new inquiries, how many would have booked and what a customer is worth. You see the loss per month and per year, and what answering more calls could recover. It is an estimate, not a forecast.
- [Custom web design in Chicago](https://aiserviceschicago.com/services/web-design-chicago/): Web design in Chicago means planning, designing and building a website around what your visitors need to do, then launching it so search engines can read it, phones can use it and people with disabilities can operate it. A sound project covers discovery, structure, content, accessibility, speed, search foundations, launch and clear ownership of the site and its accounts.
- [WordPress speed optimization in Chicago](https://aiserviceschicago.com/services/wordpress-cleanup-speed/): WordPress speed optimization is a measured job: audit the site, take a verified backup, remove dead plugins, themes and database leftovers, tune caching, images and PHP, then retest Core Web Vitals on real-user data. A hacked site follows another order: take it offline, restore clean files, close the way in, change every password, then ask Google for a review.
- [A static website CMS, explained honestly](https://aiserviceschicago.com/services/cms-mesh/): CMS MESH 5.1 (Media Express Static Hub) is our own static website CMS: a new-generation manual CMS where people write and check every page and the output is plain HTML, with no database and no plugins to update. It adds a sitemap, structured data and llms.txt for search and AI tools. It suits sites that change by request, not shops, member areas or daily self-service publishing.
- [SEO, AEO, GEO and AI SEO in Chicago](https://aiserviceschicago.com/services/seo-aeo-geo-ai-seo/): AI SEO is search engine optimization with AI answers in mind. Google says optimizing for its AI features is still SEO, and Bing describes GEO as eligibility for grounding and reference in AI responses. The work is crawlable pages, original content, accurate structured data and a verified Business Profile.
- [Digital marketing agency for Chicago businesses](https://aiserviceschicago.com/services/marketing-agency-chicago/): A digital marketing agency in Chicago plans, writes, sends and measures the marketing that sits beside search and paid ads: content, email and text messages, social media, video, landing pages and analytics. A good one works as a monthly plan, follows the consent and disclosure rules, reports in plain language, and has a person approve anything AI helps draft before it goes live.
- [Advertising agency in Chicago](https://aiserviceschicago.com/services/advertising-agency-chicago/): An advertising agency in Chicago plans and runs paid media: Google Search and Performance Max, Local Services Ads where available, Microsoft Advertising, Meta, YouTube and LinkedIn. Results depend on account structure, conversion tracking, budget pacing and ad policy compliance. We run Polish and English campaigns and send a monthly report on leads, calls and spend.
- [Radio advertising in Chicago: on air and online](https://aiserviceschicago.com/services/radio-advertising-chicago/): Radio advertising is paid commercial time on a station's broadcast signal (on air) or in an internet stream (online). We write the script in English or Polish, provide voices and production, place and negotiate the spot on Chicago-area stations and on our own Polish streaming network, and track responses with dedicated phone numbers, web addresses and promo codes, for every budget.
- [Custom software development in Chicago](https://aiserviceschicago.com/services/custom-apps-integrations/): Custom software development means building apps, portals and the links between your systems around how your business actually works. A sound project has a written scope, APIs and webhooks that survive retries and duplicates, security requirements someone can test, code and accounts in your name, and a plan for hosting, backups and upkeep.
- [Privacy notice](https://aiserviceschicago.com/privacy/) and [Terms](https://aiserviceschicago.com/terms/)
- [llms-full.txt](https://aiserviceschicago.com/llms-full.txt): the same content as one complete plain-text document for AI systems, including the text of every page above

## Frequently asked questions

Q: What is an AI agent for a company?
A: An AI agent is software that can read, decide and act inside your systems: qualify a lead, answer a ticket, prepare an invoice, route an order. It works toward a goal with the tools you allow, and hands off to your people when it is unsure.

Q: Chatbot or AI agent: what is the difference?
A: A chatbot answers questions. An agent also takes steps: it looks things up in your CRM, drafts or sends a message, updates a record or opens a ticket, within permissions and approvals that you set.

Q: Which departments benefit first?
A: Usually the ones with repeated, rule-bound work: sales follow-up, customer support, operations and dispatch, finance back-office, HR onboarding and document-heavy teams. We start with the single process that costs you most.

Q: How do agents connect to our tools?
A: Through the APIs and integrations your tools already offer, automation platforms such as n8n, Make or Zapier, and MCP servers. We use least-privilege access and a dedicated service account for each agent.

Q: Will an agent act without approval?
A: Only where you decide. Low-risk steps can run alone, while anything that spends money, sends to customers or changes records can wait for a person to approve. Every action is logged.

Q: How do you keep company data safe?
A: We use least-privilege access, no secrets inside prompts, audit logs and, when data must stay on your own server, self-hosted models. We never ask for passwords or API keys in the request form.

Q: How do you measure that an agent works?
A: We agree a success measure before the pilot, for example hours saved, response time or error rate, test the agent on real examples, and review the logs with you. If it does not pay back, we say so.

Q: How much does an AI agent project cost?
A: It depends on the process, the systems involved and the approvals needed. After your request and a short call we send a written scope with pilot and running costs, so you know what you get before work starts.

Q: How long does a pilot take?
A: A focused pilot on one process is usually a matter of weeks, not months, depending on access to your systems and data. We agree the timeline in writing and launch in steps.

Q: Can the agents run on our own servers?
A: Yes. We can run agents and models on your VPS or servers (Docker, local models with Ollama or vLLM) when privacy or policy requires it, and manage the server afterwards.

Q: Do you work with companies outside Chicago?
A: Yes. We are based in Mount Prospect, Illinois and work remotely with companies across the United States. On-site visits are possible in the Chicago area.
