AI automation services
Automation built around how your business actually works.
Fx3 Ventures designs and manages AI-powered automation on your hardware, in the cloud, or both. We build the workflows, configure the tools, and keep the system running so your team gets hours back every week.
Built with real intelligence. All plans require an actual AI model. Whether you have one locally trained or you have a subscription with ChatGPT or Claude, an AI model is necessary to give your agent intelligence.
Local track
Your machine. Your rules.
A computer lives in your office and runs your automations directly on-site. It is best when privacy, local file access, browser control, or front-end app interaction matters.
How it works
We configure your computer with Hermes Agent and connect it to your existing AI premium account. The device can work through APIs and also interact with the visible interface of apps, browsers, files, and forms.
Benefits
Data stays on your own hardware instead of flowing through a third-party platform.
No separate monthly automation platform fee after setup.
Can automate front-end screens, browser tasks, local files, and tools with limited APIs.
Can keep handling local tasks even when internet access is unreliable.
Challenges
The hardware needs to stay powered on for automations to run.
Initial setup takes more planning than a cloud-only deployment.
Compute is limited compared with large cloud infrastructure.
Periodic hands-on maintenance and updates are part of ownership.
Cloud track
Set it once. Let the cloud handle the rest.
Your automations run in a cloud automation platform or a virtual private server. This is best when your business already runs on connected SaaS tools and needs dependable API-based workflows.
How it works
We build your workflows inside Zapier, Make, n8n, Hermes Agent or a similar platform, then connect your existing apps through their APIs. Your AI model can classify, draft, summarize, route, and decide based on context.
Benefits
Runs 24/7 without keeping hardware powered on at your office.
Thousands of native app integrations are ready to connect.
Easy to scale as you add more cloud tools and workflows.
No local hardware to maintain, update, or troubleshoot.
Challenges
Platform costs can compound as task volume and automation count grow.
Business data passes through the automation platform’s servers.
It can only reach what the app exposes through an API or integration.
You depend on the platform’s uptime, pricing, and future product decisions.
What most vendors skip
Front-end vs. back-end automation changes what is possible.
Cloud automation platforms are powerful, but they usually work through APIs. That covers a lot of workflows, until an app has no API, hides the field you need, or requires someone to use the visible interface.
Local automation can use APIs too, but it can also work directly with buttons, forms, browsers, screens, and files. That is the difference between automating connected software and automating the way work actually happens.
Back-end / API accessConnect apps through their documented data pipes. Available in both local and cloud plans.
Front-end / UI accessInteract with visible screens, browsers, buttons, forms, and local files. Best handled by the local plan.
Side by side
Every plan includes setup, configuration, and ongoing management. The difference is where the automation runs and what kind of work it can reach.
