Luxin
Start with one thing

An AI consulting firm · Truckee / Reno–Tahoe · Bay Area · Orange County

The admin work runs itself. You just approve it.

Luxin builds custom AI systems inside the business you already run — email, invoices, scheduling, reporting — on your own accounts, so you own what gets built.

Luxin, an AI consulting firm, has systems running in real businesses today. One client has already referred two more owners.

If someone sent you this link

Sent here by someone you trust?

Then you’re the person this was written for. The short version:

Luxin makes a business AI-native: the work gets done by systems, and the owner’s job becomes reviewing and approving instead of doing.

The rest of this page is proof. Three short reads, in order:

The current way

The current way costs time nobody can bill for.

  • Three hundred emails a day, and fifty of them need a partner’s personal reply.

    Half an hour a day of partner time at $300 an hour: roughly $37,000 a year.

  • Hundreds of handwritten invoices a year, typed into the books and then logged again by hand.

    A catch-up runs eight to ten hours when it gets busy.

  • Two to three hours of typing for every new escrow, and a hundred follow-ups every two days.

    One missed inspection traced back to a hand-typed date.

None of that needs a person. All of it needs a person to check it.

    The operating system Luxin runs on

    The system Marc demos in every meeting: agents draft the briefs, notes and follow-ups for his own company, and he approves every send.

    50+ daily briefs built by the system since 20 July 2026

How we work

A coffee, a demo, the math, then one small build.

  1. 01

    We start with two questions.

    What do you understand about AI, and how does the business actually run day to day. We listen first.

  2. 02

    You watch a real system work.

    Marc shows the one he runs his own company on, then maps it onto your operations.

  3. 03

    We work out what the current way costs.

    Your numbers, your hourly rate, every assumption printed next to the figure so you can change it.

  4. 04

    We build one thing first.

    One task, one to two weeks, a fixed price, on your own accounts. Then you decide.

  5. 05

    You own it when we are done.

    A written runbook (the page that says how to run and fix it), a team walkthrough, and the accounts stay yours.

The mechanism

Nothing goes out without you.

A system watches the work coming in and does the part that is the same every time. Then it stops and waits for you. You read it, change what you want, and approve. Only then does anything move.

It gets more accurate as you correct it. The corrections are the training.

How it stays reliable, and stays yours

Eight rules every build follows.

  • Code does the math. AI writes sentences.

    Numbers in reports and invoices are calculated by regular code, every time. AI drafts the words.

  • Nothing sends or deletes on its own.

    Reports, replies, and invoices wait for a person. Originals are never removed.

  • Unsure means ask, not guess.

    An email it cannot place goes to a “needs a home” folder for a one-click answer.

  • Your data stays in your accounts.

    Microsoft 365, Google, QuickBooks: your logins, your data, on commercial AI terms that never train anyone’s models.

  • Everything is logged.

    Every file moved and every draft written, with a timestamp. Nothing is a mystery.

  • Errors alert us, then fall back.

    If a step fails, a person is told and the work goes back to the old way until it is fixed. Never a silent failure.

  • It learns from your corrections.

    Every edit you make to a draft is kept as an example, so the next one reads closer to how you would have written it.

  • Documented, and you own it.

    A plain-English runbook at handover. Change it, extend it, or hand it to someone else. No lock-in.

Pricing

Take the baby step, then decide.

We price against the hours the work gives you back — usually 40 to 50% of what the first year saves you. Every price on this site was sent in a real proposal.

The pilot is a single task, $500 to $1,500, with no commitment past it.

Our advice: start with a pilot. One task, one to two weeks, then decide.

Pilot

One task, automated end to end, on your accounts. The baby step.

$500–$1,500

fixed, one payment

Project

A full system, or several, scoped and built and handed over inside one to three months.

$1,500–$5,000

per project, fixed · full builds $9,500–$11,500

Monthly build budget

For businesses that have decided and want it all built by a date, upkeep included.

$3,000/mo

about 30 hours a month, flat

The people

Who you actually get.

  • Marc Bender

    Founder

    Marc scopes and sells every engagement, and builds the small systems himself. He is in the room for every conversation. When you hire Luxin, he is who you get.

    • About a year and a half of AI and automation consulting, and freelance web and AI work through college before that.
    • Went full-time on Luxin in August 2026.
    • Runs his own company on the system he sells.
  • Pranav Kantamaneni

    Co-founder

    Pranav studied computer science and AI at USC and works at a cybersecurity company. He reviews how every build handles your data and leads the larger builds.

    • Leads the larger builds.
    • Reviews every build’s data handling before it goes live.
  • And the engineers behind them.

    Luxin brings in engineers per project rather than carrying a payroll. Each one is paid a fixed price for their piece. You pay for the work, not for overhead.

In the owner’s words.

  • Really impressive work! From the first call I had with Marc, I could tell I was working with someone who knows what he’s doing.

Questions

Questions people ask before they start.

Start with one thing

Tell me what’s eating the most time.

Thirty minutes, no deck. You describe how the work actually happens, and I tell you plainly whether there is something worth building.

Know someone?

Send this to someone who…

  • still types the same thing into three programs.
  • runs a business that is older than the software they use.
  • has one person who knows how the invoices work.
  • wants to see AI do something real before they spend a dollar.
