What we actually do

We build custom AI agents for operators who don't want to become tech founders.

Not a course. Not a workshop. Not "coaching." Actual working Claude-powered agents built into your specific workflow — the one that eats two hours of your week every week, and probably has for years.

"

One of my guys spent about two hours every Monday updating our project board with geographic need data. Manual pull from 40 tabs, into a spreadsheet, into the board.

I built him a Claude agent. It runs Sunday night. He's done before he's in Monday morning.

Two hours × 52 weeks = a full work week back. Every year. For a person whose actual job is being in front of customers, not moving data between screens.

— Josh, on the first agent I ever built for my own business

Every operator has 5 or 6 workflows exactly like it. The ones too small to hire for, too repeatable to keep doing yourself, too obscure to find a SaaS tool for.

That's the space Second Closer fills. One workflow at a time. Real agents. Delivered by humans you can talk to.

Three ways to work with us

Start free. Upgrade if it works.

The Extraction Diagnostic is where every path begins. It scores you, sorts you into the right level, and never pushes you past it.

The Guarantee

You keep the agent AND get a refund.

"If any agent doesn't save you at least 30 minutes per week within the first 14 days of running it, you keep the agent AND we refund the full purchase price. No forms. No arguments."

Applies to every agent in the Build and every agent in the Sprint. Per-agent test, not per-package.

Who's actually building your agent

Second Closer is Josh + Joe.

Questions we get

FAQ

What if I score MEDIUM or LOW?

MEDIUM: you get an honest read on whether now, in 3 months, or in 6 months makes sense. Soft Calendly link if you want to talk it through. No pressure. LOW: we tell you Second Closer isn't your move right now and explain why. We'd rather turn away 100 wrong-fit prospects than take one wrong-fit client.

Is the "free build" actually free? What's the catch?

Actually free. No card. The catch is scarcity — first 10 HIGH-scoring completions per calendar month. Not per year — per month. If slots are full, you wait until the next month or you skip the free tier and go direct to the paid Build.

What's the difference between the Build and the Sprint?

Build = 5 agents, $2,950, 30-day delivery window. You do most of the implementation. We support.

Sprint = unlimited agents, $8,500, 90-day engagement. We + Joe are embedded weekly. Sprint is for operators who want to be at 10+ agents by day 90 without managing the build themselves. Most Sprint clients land 10–18 agents in the window.

Can I skip the free build and just pay for the Build?

Yes. If you took the diagnostic and know you want the full package, book a call and we skip straight to the paid Build. Founding-cohort discount ($2,450) only applies if you did the free build first.

What kind of AI agents do you build?

Claude-powered agents plugged into whatever tools you already use. Common examples: weekly reporting rollups from multiple data sources, inbound lead qualification + response drafting, CRM cleanup, quote generation from spec sheets, competitive research briefs, meeting note summarization + action-item extraction. Basically: any workflow where the answer requires reading a bunch of context and writing a specific output.

Do I need to be technical?

No. Explicitly designed for operators who don't want to touch code, don't want to learn a new tool, and want a working thing they can run. If you're a technical founder, this offer isn't for you — you'd be better off with Claude Code directly.

How does the guarantee actually work?

Every agent I build has to save you 30+ minutes per week in real use, within 14 days. If it doesn't, you keep the agent (it's yours regardless), and I refund the full price. No forms. No debate. Email me and it's done. I've never refunded — and I'd rather not — so I only build agents I know will hit that bar.

What if I want to talk to Josh before taking the diagnostic?

The diagnostic is 5 minutes. It'll tell me and you more, faster, than a call would. Take it first. If you still want to talk, HIGH scorers see a Calendly link on the results page.
