ABOUT AUTOBOTICS

I kept meeting business owners who were great at the work and drowning in everything else.

AI finally got good enough to solve it. So I built a cleaning company to prove it works — and now I help other operators do the same thing.

Eric Lenhardt · Founder

I didn't start this to build a tech company.

I served two tours in Iraq before I was 21. That's where I learned what it looks like when people do hard work under hard conditions — and what happens when they don't have the right support behind them.

After the Army, I spent 20 years building products and companies — including co-founding Potentia Labs, which won a Department of Veterans Affairs Industry Innovation Competition to build software helping veterans with mental health. I'm a product manager by trade. Figuring out what actually works is literally my job.

Then something changed. AI got good enough — and affordable enough — to finally solve the problems that have been crushing small service businesses for decades. The missed calls. The quotes that never get followed up. The reviews that never get asked for. The customers who disappear because nobody reached back out. I started Lenny's Cleaning to prove that these systems actually work, built on a real business, handling real customers.

Now I help other operators do the same thing. Not with theory. Not with a course. With the exact systems I built and run on a real business — adapted to yours.

These are good people doing hard work. Nobody's helping them run the business side. That's what Autobotics is for.

WHAT I LEARNED BUILDING LENNY'S

Every home service business breaks in the same eight places.

After building Lenny's and digging into the research on how home service businesses actually operate, the pattern became obvious. It doesn't matter if you're a solo cleaner or a 10-person HVAC crew — the money leaks from the same stages. Missed calls. Dead quotes. No reviews. No follow-up. No system for getting customers to come back.

The Automation Blueprint evaluates all eight stages and shows you exactly where your business is losing revenue — and what to fix first.

85%

of callers who reach voicemail never call back

48–60%

of quotes never get a single follow-up

3–5x

the value of a repeat customer vs. a new one

WHO DOES THE WORK

You work with me. AI does the heavy lifting.

I review every Automation Blueprint personally. The AI handles the analysis framework — studying your business across all eight stages, benchmarking against your industry, and identifying where the biggest opportunities are. I review the output, add context, and make sure it passes the kitchen table test: can you explain it to your spouse in two sentences?

Behind the scenes, our AI agent Astro runs the research and analysis engine. If you're curious about how it works, you can follow the build process in our Field Reports.
