AI for founders & small business owners
Get hours back every week.Never miss a lead or follow-up again.
I'm Sarmishta, an ex-Amazon engineer. I build secure AI workflows into the tools you already use, so the busywork gets done and nothing slips through the cracks. Your first one can be live in weeks, not months.

Sound familiar?
Your team is busy. Not all of it is work.
- Your team copy-pastes between tools all day.
- Contracts and documents sit in a queue, waiting for someone to read them.
- Leads go cold because follow-up depends on someone remembering.
- You tried ChatGPT or Claude, but nothing is wired into how your team actually works.
- You'd hire an AI engineer, but not for $150k+ a year.
- You're not sure where your data goes once it's in an AI tool.
If it's repetitive and text-heavy, it can probably be automated. Safely.
What I build
AI workflows, not demos.
Document & contract review
Contracts, invoices and forms read, checked and summarized in minutes.
Lead follow-up
Every inbound lead qualified and answered, without someone remembering to.
Inbox & support triage
Emails and tickets sorted, routed and drafted for your team to approve.
Reporting
The weekly numbers pulled together from your tools and written up for you.
Search over your docs
Ask questions of your contracts, SOPs and tickets, with answers that cite the source.
Agents in your tools
AI wired into Slack, HubSpot, Notion, Gmail, Airtable or your own database.
Is this for you?
A good fit, honestly.
Great fit if you
- Run a startup or small business (2–30 people)
- Lose hours every week to repetitive, text-heavy work
- Want AI inside the tools you already use, not another app
- Care where your data goes
Probably not a fit if you
- Want a flashy AI demo rather than something your team uses daily
- Are shopping for the cheapest possible build
- Don't have a process to improve yet, just a wish to “use AI”

Case study
Contract review: 3 hours → 3 minutes.
Before
Content creators were signing brand deals they hadn't fully read. A careful review took about 3 hours.
What I built
ReviewAgreement: an AI contract review tool for creators, designed, built and run by me.
Result
Review time went from 3 hours to 3 minutes. It's live with real users today.
What people say

Who you'll work with
Hi, I'm Sarmishta.
I spent six years at Amazon Web Services on the IAM team, building systems that secured resources across about 1.2 million AWS accounts. Reliability and security weren't nice-to-haves there. They were the baseline.
In 2026 I started NodeX. I run my own company on AI agents every day, from planning to code to content, and now I build the same kind of workflows for founders and small business owners. You work with me directly, no hand-offs.
Outside work, I'm trying to be an intentional founder, not just a busy one. I lift weights three times a week (consistency is still a work in progress), and I keep nudging my friends and parents to exercise, because I love seeing women strong. I love a home-cooked meal, and I trade and invest with a few simple strategies.
FAQ
Good questions.
Do I need a technical team?
No. I handle the build and hand over something your team can use without coding. If you do have engineers, I work alongside them.
How fast will I see results?
Your audit is done in a week. Most first workflows go live 2–4 weeks after that, and you see each one working on your real tasks before handoff.
Is our data safe?
Security is my background. Workflows run on your accounts, use least-privilege access, and avoid sending data to tools that train on it. Every build includes a short security review.
What if the audit shows AI isn't worth it for us?
Then I'll tell you plainly, and you still keep the roadmap. An honest “not yet” beats a build that doesn't pay off.
What does it cost to run after launch?
AI and tool costs go on your own accounts, and the audit estimates them upfront. The Care plan is optional. You own everything I build.
