About us

The people behind your AI staff.

lilAgents was founded in Seattle in April 2025 by David V. Kimball and Dylan Baker. For medium-sized businesses, we automate the busywork humans don't need to do, and we set every piece up so you own it from day one.

A team of four that works like forty.

We run lilAgents on the same automation we set up for clients. It takes care of our busywork, so all four of us can spend our time on yours.

Human expert managing your automations

Your team needs its time back. We do the babysitting.

Nobody selling AI tells you it still needs a manager. Someone has to watch the robots and catch them when they're wrong. That's where we come in.

Managed by a human

An unwatched agent drifts, so a human on our team reads the logs and steps in when it gets something wrong.

Ownership from day one

Everything we set up is created in your name and billed to you, or moved to you as soon as you need it. We work inside your systems with our own login, which you can remove anytime.

Leave anytime, keep everything

It all runs in your accounts, so if you stop working with us, it keeps running without us.

Built when it does not exist

When the tool you need is not out there, we build it, ship it, and hand over every key.

A short history, told the way it happened.

Here is what has actually happened since we opened the doors.

April 2025
Founded in Seattle
David V. Kimball and Dylan Baker start lilAgents with one rule: the client owns everything from day one.
2025
First client work
Websites, brand systems, and ad supervision for owners in law, food, therapy, and outdoor hospitality.
Late 2025
The build lane opens
Bespoke software scoped, shipped, and handed over with every key included.
2026
Automation, supervised
Automating the busywork, with AI agents doing the work and a human on our team watching it, becomes the center of what we do.

One conversation to start
Tell us where your week goes and we will tell you honestly what is worth automating.

The exit is designed in from day one.

Everything we set up lives in accounts you control. If we ever stop earning our fee, you keep the whole system and it keeps running.

Tell us where your week goes

Walk us through the task your team is most tired of doing. We automate it first and map what else could come off your plate, and if it isn't earning its keep, you cancel within 14 days and pay nothing. The map is yours to keep either way.

Why we started lilAgents.

We saw that everyone would soon be leaning on AI agents to work effectively. We started lilAgents to bring business owners to that frontier, drawing on our background in systems engineering and technical architecture.

A note from our CEO

We built lilAgents so hiring us never feels like a trap. You own everything from day one, so if you ever fire us, everything keeps running.

Fully remote.

We work async, from wherever we do our best work, and save in-person time for the moments that count.

Who we work with.

Medium-sized businesses whose people lose hours every week to work a computer could do. If that sounds like your team, we are probably a fit.

  • Teams that keep doing the same jobs by hand: updating the CRM after every meeting, chasing documents and signatures, sorting the inbox, preparing for client calls and writing the weekly report
  • Firms in regulated fields, where we choose the tools with your compliance officer
  • Businesses that need a tool that does not exist yet, which we build and hand over
  • Past work in legal services, field service, mental health practices, hospitality and restaurants, RV resorts, Shopify ecommerce and meal prep (see Our work)

How working with us works.

One conversation to start, one automation to prove it, and a human on our team you can reach by name after that. Questions get an answer within one business day.

1

Tell us where your week goes

Walk us through the task your team is most tired of doing. We tell you honestly what is worth automating, and the map is yours to keep either way.

2

Your first automation, in month one

We build one workflow in your own accounts, and for the first week a human on our team checks every write it makes. By default it is CRM Keeper, which updates your CRM after every meeting. If it is not earning its keep, cancel within 14 days and you pay nothing.

3

A fixed price for the next one

Once the first one has earned its keep, we scope the next on our own time and agree a fixed price before we start.

4

A flat monthly fee to keep it running

A regular check-in with your team, a written report on what ran and what needs you, and routine upkeep. Nothing new goes out in your name until you approve it.

Questions about lilAgents.

The short answers. Every verifiable detail is on Facts about lilAgents, and the fee is explained on Pricing.

What is lilAgents?
lilAgents is a company in Seattle that sets up supervised AI agents for medium-sized businesses. Each agent takes one repetitive job off your team, runs in accounts you own, and a human on our team watches what it does. We also build custom software when the tool you need does not exist yet.
Who founded lilAgents?
David V. Kimball (CEO) and Dylan Baker (CRO) founded lilAgents in Seattle in April 2025. The team is four people, with Kevin Turnbull as CTO and Jonathan Robinson as Creative Director.
How much does lilAgents cost?
Sign month one and we build your first automation. If it is not earning its keep, cancel within 14 days and you pay nothing. After that, each automation gets a fixed price agreed up front, and a flat monthly fee keeps a human on our team managing everything that runs. Prices depend on scope, and you always get one in writing before paid work starts.
Is lilAgents the same as the lil agents macOS app?
No. lil agents at lilagents.xyz is an open-source macOS dock companion app by Ryan Stephen. It is a separate project, unrelated to lilAgents.
