The Problem

AI agents are easy to start — hard to run well

Most businesses that try AI agents stall on the same three things. We fix all three.

USD 70–300/mo

What an unoptimized agent quietly burns in infrastructure and API bills — often without the owner realizing.

10+ hrs/mo

Time a DIY setup eats in configuration, debugging and upkeep — pure opportunity cost for a business owner.

English-only

Most agent tooling and support is overseas and online-only — no Cantonese, no local hours, no same-day help.

Your true monthly cost — nothing hidden

For a managed Business Automation client

2 Rocks Studio managed fee (Business Automation)HKD 3,500
VPS hosting (your account — we pick the best value)~HKD 150–400
AI API tokens (your account — pay for what you use)~HKD 150–800
All-in, roughly~HKD 3,800–4,700/mo

For comparison: a full-time VA runs ~HKD 9,000/mo (with turnover risk), and overseas managed agent services charge ~USD 750/mo (≈HKD 5,850) — before infrastructure.

What's Possible

Real-world automation patterns

Illustrative scenarios based on publicly documented Hermes use cases — to show the shape of what we build.

E-commerce SMB

From bill shock to a Netflix-sized AI bill

Before — Single expensive model for everything, 12 cron jobs (4 duplicated), no cost alerts.

After — Tiered model routing, deduplicated crons, hard monthly cap — same automations, fraction of the cost.

~90%

AI spend reduction

Got it down to less than my streaming subscription — now I actually trust the system.

Property Agency

A 24/7 Chief of Staff for a 12-agent team

Before — Manual 45-min morning briefings, viewings with no prep, follow-ups slipping through the cracks.

After — Auto 7am market briefing, per-viewing research docs, drafted follow-ups — agents arrive prepared.

15+ hrs

saved per week

The follow-ups alone paid for the whole thing — we were losing deals just by forgetting.

Professional Services

Client research that runs while you sleep

Before — Hours of manual prep before every client call; juniors with no time to dig deep.

After — Per-client research briefs auto-compiled overnight, delivered to Slack each morning.

20–30 min

saved per client call

It's like having a junior analyst backing us up on every single meeting.
