TEDRA finds the manual, repetitive work draining your week and builds custom automation that handles it for you. Built on Claude Code, n8n, and Supabase — scoped to your business, not a template.
TEDRA is one person: Grant Buchanan. Before this, I spent years in retail — close enough to the floor to see exactly where the time goes: the customer service that never stops, the same manual processes that run a hundred times a week, the follow-ups that slip because nobody has a free hour to send them. That's where the judgment comes from. I know which of those leaks are worth plugging and which aren't — and the ones worth plugging are exactly what automation is for.
Most businesses don't need more AI tools. They need someone to find the right problem and build the thing that actually solves it. That's the job. I don't diagram your problem and leave. I build the fix, ship it, and watch it run.
A short, focused session to map where time and money leak out of your operation. You leave knowing the one thing worth automating first — whether or not you build it with me.
The core offer. I build a system tailored to your actual workflow — not a template, not an off-the-shelf app — that handles a repetitive process end to end.
Once a system is running, I stay on to maintain it, fix what breaks, and build the next automation as new bottlenecks surface. Scoped per engagement.
A 12-store retailer had customer conversations spread across every location and no way to see who was still waiting on a reply. Every morning this pulls the previous day's conversations from their messaging platform, works out what is unanswered and at which store, and emails a one-page report to the owner and the ops lead before the doors open. Running every day since August 2026.
Talk about yours →A furniture liquidator receives truckloads of new, boxed pieces and needed them online without typing listings by hand. One trigger-pull on a handheld scanner reads the box barcode, identifies the piece, looks up its retail price, and creates a priced draft listing with a photo in their Shopify store, tagged for a quick human check. Proven on the warehouse floor; their store launched on it in September 2026.
Talk about yours →The same liquidator has to show a partner that every inbound carton arrived and what shape it was in. This runs on the same warehouse scanner: scan the carton, shoot the photos, and the system files them against the tracking number and appends a row to the shared spreadsheet the partner reads. Queues offline on the dock, with a void-and-correct path for mistakes.
Talk about yours →A customer inquiry hits the inbox and the system writes a reply in the business's own voice, then drops a Slack ping with a one-click link to the ready draft. The owner reviews and sends — no blank-page replies, no leads going cold overnight.
Request a Demo →Drop in a topic, a few details, and any photos or video, then pick where it's going. In under a minute you get a Google Doc with a ready-to-post draft for each platform you chose — LinkedIn, X, newsletter, Instagram and more — captions and media laid out for review. Turns an afternoon of content work into one form.
Request a Demo →A chat assistant that answers customer questions on returns, warranties, shipping and policies — pulling every answer straight from your own help docs. It quotes your exact figures, and when it doesn't know something it says so and points to your support team instead of making one up. Built and stress-tested on demo data; ready to load with your content.
