Quartate is an AI automation studio. It starts with the outcome your business needs, then builds custom AI agents that do the work your people do by hand today, inside the systems you already run. It checks their work against your records, and a person approves anything that cannot be undone. The founder's background is data: six years at a US-based data platform company, building and shipping products for enterprise clients around the world.

What does Quartate build?

Custom AI agents that do the work your people do by hand today, inside the systems you already run. The jobs asked for most include logging enquiries alongside each customer's history, pricing quotes from the right list, matching invoices to orders and deliveries, chasing overdue invoices, assembling the Friday report, and turning paperwork into a searchable database.

How does an engagement with Quartate start?

With a free twenty-minute call, and the client keeps the written plan either way. Then a proof week: the first working piece of the solution, on the client's own systems, credited in full against the build.

What does Quartate charge?

The proof week is $500 while the three founding places are open, and $1,000 once they are gone. Either way it is credited in full against the build. Builds are scoped inside $4,000 to $20,000, and the exact figure is fixed from what the proof week finds. Keeping it running afterwards is $500 to $2,500 a month at the standard rate for everyone, cancel anytime, and is optional: the written handover means a client's own team can take it over instead.

Where does Quartate work?

Quartate delivers remotely and serves clients anywhere. The price is the same wherever the business is.

What is the proof week, and how big is one working piece?

The proof week is Quartate's paid first step: five business days in which one working automation is built inside your current accounts and data. A piece is one job, end to end, small enough that a single sentence describes it passing: one document type read and put where it belongs, or one month of completed jobs checked against the contracts that govern them. You write that sentence with us on Monday, before you pay, and Friday is measured against it.

What does the full build cost?

Builds are scoped inside $4,000 to $20,000. That band is on the homepage so you can decide before you ever speak to us whether this is worth a call. The free call narrows it to a rough number for your job, and the proof week settles it into one fixed price in writing, with what you paid for the week coming off it. What we will not do is turn the band into your number before anyone has seen your systems, because that is a guess and you are the one who pays when a guess is wrong.

What happens after Friday?

You get written handover documentation and a recorded walkthrough. You can run it yourself with nothing further to pay us, or keep us on monthly to maintain it as the business changes.

Can I leave, and what happens to the rate if I do?

There is no minimum term and no notice period. Keeping it running is monthly, at the same rate everybody pays, and you can stop whenever you want. The founding discount applies to the first build we do for you, so there is nothing about leaving that costs you a rate you had already earned.

What happens to the $500 if we do not build?

The credit runs for twelve months, so it holds against any build that starts inside a year. If you would rather have the money instead, ask at the walkthrough and you get it. The written plan from the free call is yours in either case.

Quartate Launches AI Automation Studio With Written Acceptance Tests

PressAdvantage

September 09, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

Quartate has launched an AI automation studio serving businesses worldwide through a five-business-day proof week on September 1, 2026. Founded by Farhan Ahmed Khan, the studio builds custom AI agents for manual business processes, beginning with one job evaluated against a written acceptance test agreed with the client before payment.

The launch introduces a defined sequence for commissioning automation: identify a business outcome, specify what a successful first implementation must do, assess that implementation using the client’s own accounts and data, then agree the scope and fixed price of any further build. The initial implementation and the complete solution are separate stages of the engagement.

During the proof week, Quartate develops one working piece of the client’s solution. The scope covers a single job from beginning to end, such as reading one document type and placing the extracted information where it belongs, or checking one month of completed jobs against the relevant contracts. These illustrate the available scope; they are not reported customer deployments or performance results.

“Most business owners hesitate to adopt AI because scoping feels open-ended and the deliverables are vague,” said Farhan Ahmed Khan, founder of Quartate. “By tying the initial proof week to a single, pass-or-fail acceptance test written in plain English, we eliminate the guesswork. Clients see concrete proof of value inside their existing systems before committing to a larger build.”

Quartate’s implementation approach assigns different roles to AI, rules and people. AI reads information and proposes actions. Defined rules check those proposals against the business’s records. A person approves actions that cannot be undone. The studio’s areas of work include quote and order processing, invoice matching, accounts receivable follow-up, document data extraction and data integration.

For invoice matching, the relevant records include orders and deliveries. Other assignments described by the company include recording enquiries alongside customer histories, preparing quotes from the appropriate price list and assembling weekly reports. The business records used and the required result depend on the particular job selected for the engagement.

Clients receive written handover documentation and a recorded walkthrough, allowing their own teams to operate the automation. They can take over the work or arrange optional monthly maintenance. Maintenance is priced at US$500 to US$2,500 per month, with no minimum term or notice period, so receiving the implementation does not require an ongoing maintenance engagement.

An engagement begins with a free 20-minute call that produces a written plan and an indicative price range. The prospective client keeps the plan whether or not a build follows. The standard proof-week fee is US$1,000, credited in full against a subsequent build or refunded on request. Standard builds are scoped within US$4,000 to US$20,000, with the exact fixed price provided in writing before work begins.

According to Quartate’s founder biography, Khan spent six years at a US-based data platform company building and shipping products for enterprise clients worldwide, with the last three years focused on building with AI.

Quartate applies the same pricing regardless of the client’s location. Businesses can review the founding-client programme, which offers three places at half price on the first build. Enquiries about an introductory consultation can be directed to Farhan Ahmed Khan, founder, at farhan@quartate.com.

Quartate is an AI automation studio operating globally on a remote-first delivery model. The firm engineers custom AI agents integrated directly into client software stacks, combining generative processing with rule-based system verification and mandatory human checkpoints for high-stakes operational workflows.
