Why Choose Us
AIQ Labs deploys custom AI systems and managed AI Employees that handle the full lifecycle of a custom framing order — from initial design consultation and material selection to production scheduling and delivery coordination. Our AI Receptionist answers calls 24/7, qualifies leads, and books design appointments. AI Employees manage order intake, generate quotes using your pricing logic, coordinate with suppliers for sustainable framing materials, and update customers via SMS and email. We build custom workflow automation that connects your POS, inventory, and shipping systems — eliminating manual data entry and reducing errors. All systems are built on enterprise-grade multi-agent architectures (LangGraph, ReAct) using Claude 4.5 and Gemini 3 Pro, with full integration via MCP to your existing tools. You own the IP. No vendor lock-in.
What Makes Us Different:
Why Custom Framing Shops Choose AIQ Labs
Eliminate 20+ Hours Weekly of Manual Coordination
AI Employees handle 24/7 order intake for personalized photo framing, capturing exact specifications for matting, acrylic glazing, gilding, and shadow box dimensions. The AI system cross-references material availability with supplier APIs, eliminating order errors that previously required costly remakes. Production boards receive real-time updates, reducing lead times for conservation framing projects while maintaining accuracy in material selection.
Reduce Order Errors by 95% with AI-Powered Intake
AI-powered invoice and accounts payable automation streamlines supplier payments for wooden picture frames wholesale, acrylic glazing materials, and specialty matting. The system captures invoices from multiple channels, extracts data with high accuracy, and routes approvals automatically. Shops reduce late payment fees and improve cash flow for seasonal peaks in artwork framing services.
Scale Seasonal Peaks Without Hiring Temp Staff
Custom AI workflows integrate with supplier systems for acrylic glazing, shadow box components, and conservation framing materials. AI systems track inventory levels, automatically reordering stock to prevent shortages during holiday rushes. Shops reduce stockouts and decrease excess inventory, optimizing working capital for custom framing projects.
What Clients Say
"AIQ Labs built a custom order intake system that captures every detail for conservation framing projects — matting colors, acrylic glazing preferences, and gilding specifications — and feeds it straight to our production board. We went from order errors to near-zero in the first month, and our workflow became far more predictable."
"Our AI Receptionist handles 100% of incoming calls about custom frame designs, even on weekends when clients call about gilding or preservation framing. It books consultations, updates customers on material availability, and integrates with our production schedule. We’ve never missed a lead due to being unavailable."
"They didn’t just give us a chatbot. They built an AI Employee that coordinates with our acrylic supplier, tracks shadow box builds, and texts customers at every stage — from material selection to final delivery. We own the system outright, and it’s transformed how we operate."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
Can an AI Employee handle the detailed specs for conservation framing and gilding projects?
Yes. Our custom AI Employees are trained on your exact intake process — they capture matting choices, gilding requirements, acrylic glazing specs, and artwork dimensions through natural conversation, then structure that data directly into your production system. We build them using your workflows, not generic templates.
How does AI help with shipping fragile shadow boxes and large frames without damage?
While AI doesn't physically pack boxes, our custom workflow automation integrates with your shipping software to auto-generate custom packaging instructions, fragile flags, and carrier-specific labels based on frame size, glazing type, and destination. It also triggers real-time tracking updates to customers — reducing 'where is my order' calls.
We get seasonal spikes for personalized photo framing — can AI scale without hiring temps?
Absolutely. AI Employees handle unlimited concurrent conversations — phone, SMS, chat, email — 24/7/365. During holiday peaks, they qualify leads, book design appointments, capture specs, and send proofs for approval without a single missed inquiry. No overtime. No temp hiring. Setup in 2–3 weeks.
What's the typical timeline to automate our design consultation and order intake workflow?
Phase 1 (Discovery & Architecture): 1–2 weeks. Phase 2 (Development & Integration): 4–8 weeks for a Department Automation-tier system. Phase 3 (Deployment & Training): 1–2 weeks. You'll have a working AI Employee handling live inquiries by week 6–8. Full custom workflow automation with POS/inventory integration typically completes in 8–12 weeks.
How is AIQ Labs different from using a generic chatbot builder or hiring a virtual assistant?
Generic chatbots can't integrate with your framing POS, trigger supplier orders for sustainable materials, or capture gilding specs in structured data. Virtual assistants cost 5x more, work 40 hours, and make errors. AIQ Labs builds custom multi-agent systems you own — trained on your processes, integrated with your tools, managed by us, working 24/7 at 75–85% lower cost.
