AI automation, AI agents and custom AI for Austin SaaS and startup teams. Give your team its hours back. Netherlands-based, remote-first, priced per project.
Austin earned the nickname Silicon Hills honestly. The corridor running from downtown north to The Domain has become one of the densest software clusters away from the coasts, fed by the University of Texas at Austin, the Capital Factory ecosystem, and a steady inflow of founders and engineers arriving from more expensive metros. SXSW turned the city into an annual meeting point for the product and creative worlds, while the semiconductor and hardware plants ringing the metro give Austin an engineering backbone that pure software towns lack.
What defines the Austin buyer is not enthusiasm for AI (that is a given here), but leverage. A Series A or Series B SaaS company in East Austin runs a sprawling go-to-market stack: CRM, billing, support desk, product analytics and a dozen smaller tools, stitched together with manual steps and a shared spreadsheet. The people doing that stitching are expensive and slow to hire. The work that actually drains the week is lead routing and enrichment, support triage, customer onboarding, renewal chasing, and the reporting somebody rebuilds by hand every Monday morning.
EIGHTY8 is a Netherlands-based, remote-first AI automation and consultancy studio, and Austin is exactly the kind of market our work fits. We have no US office and we do not pretend otherwise: we deliver remotely, and our afternoon lands on your morning, so there is a dependable live window every working day for standups, demos and reviews. We build AI agents and automations inside the stack you already run, ship them with evaluation and human-in-the-loop escalation rather than as demos, and when the marketing site needs to keep pace, we can put a new one live in 48 hours. Every engagement is scoped and quoted per project. No packaged tiers, no retainer you cannot walk away from.
Yes, and we are upfront about how. We work remotely. No US office, no local sales team. Our afternoon overlaps your morning, which gives a dependable live window each working day for standups, demos and reviews; everything outside it runs async with a written handover. Kickoff, delivery, support and invoicing work the same way they would with a US vendor.
Usually in the seams between tools, not inside them. Lead enrichment and routing, support-ticket triage and drafting, onboarding checklists, renewal and dunning follow-up, and the weekly report someone assembles by hand. We start with one workflow that has a measurable hour count attached, prove it in production, then expand from there.
We quote per project, based on scope and complexity, after a free scoping conversation. There is no price list and no packaged tier, because a support-triage agent and a custom AI system are not the same job. You get a written scope with the assumptions visible before any work starts.
It does, and it is home ground for us. European data-protection rules shape architecture: what you store, where it lives, how long you keep it, and what may be sent to a model provider. We design with those constraints from day one instead of retrofitting them after your first EU enterprise deal. We are engineers, not your counsel. We build to the requirements your legal team sets.
