We Build the Backbone. You Run the Business.

Backbone Automation designs and builds AI-powered systems that eliminate manual admin, connect your tools, and give your team back their time — without hiring another employee.

Built to Support. Engineered to Scale.

60-Second Response Time Every Missed Call Captured Built Around Your Business, Not a Template No Lock-In Contracts
The problem

Every Business Loses Money the Same Way

Not to competitors. Not to bad marketing. To manual admin nobody has time for.

Missed Opportunities

Every unanswered call or unread enquiry is a customer choosing someone else.

Manual Chaos

Bookings, follow-ups, and reminders handled manually means things get missed.

No Way to Scale

Growth shouldn't mean hiring more people just to keep up with admin.

The method

One Framework. Built Around Your Business.

Every Backbone system — regardless of industry — is built using the same proven 3-phase process.

Phase 01

Assess

The X-Ray

We map your current workflow — every call, booking, and follow-up — to find exactly where time and money are leaking.

Phase 02

Architect

The Framework

We design the automation system specific to your business size, team, and tools — not a generic template.

Phase 03

Automate

The Build

We build, test, and launch it — live within 5–10 business days, with hands-on tuning support from day one.

Investment

The fine print

  • Responses are the messages and actions the system sends on your behalf. Past your monthly cap it’s 5c per response — and we tell you before you get there, not after.
  • Workflows are complete automations, start to finish. Tier 3 covers unlimited workflows within the scope agreed at your audit.
  • You supply your own accounts. Google Workspace or Gmail, plus any third-party subscriptions the system connects to. We set them up, you own them.
  • No lock-in. Cancel any monthly plan with 30 days’ notice. Tier 3 pricing is confirmed after your Free Operations Audit.
  • All prices are in AUD and exclude GST.

About

Who You’ll Be Working With

I’m Deepak. I run Backbone Automation on my own, from Devonport, Tasmania. When you book an audit, you talk to me. The person who maps your admin is the same person who builds the system and answers when something needs fixing.

I build on n8n, and I test every system on fake data before it goes near a real customer. Clinic Referral Inbox passed 18 of 18 test cases and Care Plan Tracker passed 86 of 86 before I offered either one to a clinic. I’ve also built an AI phone receptionist that answers on a real Australian number.

Backbone is new, and I’m looking for my first founding clients. If automation isn’t the right fit for your business, I’ll tell you straight.
