AI staff for your business
Built by Alif sets up AI assistants that draft, research, track and remind — led by a Chief of Staff that coordinates them and reports back to you in one place. Your existing staff keep the relationships, the sales conversations and the final say.
Two distinct services
The two services are priced and delivered separately. Neither is a prerequisite for the other.
[ Route A ]
We configure Grok Bot — third-party software — into a small team of AI staff for your business: a Chief of Staff plus the specialists you need, built around your instructions, templates and business knowledge.
[ Route B ]
For needs that go beyond an AI staff setup: a paid assessment that ends in a written roadmap, followed — only if you choose — by custom n8n automation quoted per project.
Built by Alif is an independent service that configures third-party software for clients. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a reseller for Grok Bot, its provider, or n8n.
Human-first by design
Your team already knows your customers, your prices and when to make an exception. AI staff take on the repetitive groundwork around that knowledge, so your people spend more of their day where judgment and relationships matter.
AI Staff
Every team is led by a Chief of Staff — your single point of contact. Specialists do focused work in the background and report through the Chief.
Your main point of contact. It takes your requests, coordinates specialist tasks, keeps track of what is in progress and returns consolidated updates. Anything that would go outside the business comes back to you for approval first.
On its own, in the one-person package, the Chief handles briefings, organisation and reminders. Learning how to brief and work with it is part of your handover training.
Researches prospects that match the criteria you set and prepares outreach drafts for your approval.
Prepares: lead lists, research notes, outreach drafts
Prepares content drafts — social posts, announcements and simple campaign copy — in the voice and style you define.
Prepares: content drafts for your review
Drafts quotes using only the rates you have approved, and keeps track of which follow-ups are due.
Prepares: quote drafts, follow-up tracking
Keeps trackers and reminders for recurring tasks, deadlines and internal handoffs up to date.
Prepares: trackers, reminders, task lists
Prepares invoice drafts and tracks which payments are outstanding. Admin support only — not accounting, tax or compliance advice.
Prepares: invoice drafts, payment tracking
Drafts replies to your Google reviews for you to check and post. It can fill one specialist slot instead of another role — in the full six-person team it replaces a specialist rather than becoming a seventh.
Prepares: review reply drafts

One-time setup fees in Kenyan shillings. They do not include your Grok Bot subscription, which you pay directly. Straightforward packages need only a discovery conversation — no separate paid consultation.
Grok Bot is third-party software. You create and own the account, and you pay its subscription directly to its provider. Built by Alif does not resell or mark up the subscription.
Choose a plan that lists Grok Bot and suits your expected workload. Plans, prices and usage limits are set by the provider and can change. We look at your expected workload together during discovery before you choose.

50% upfront · 50% on delivery

The KES 35,000 consultation is paid 100% upfront. Grok Bot setup and any separately quoted n8n implementation are paid 50% upfront and 50% on delivery against the agreed scope. Software subscriptions are not part of this split — you pay providers directly. Care terms are agreed separately. The consultation does not include a build.
Grok Bot subscription
You own your Grok Bot account and pay xAI directly. Your subscription is separate from Built by Alif setup and care fees.
| Plan | Price | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Plus | US$8/month | Grok Bot is not listed for this plan. |
| Premium | US$30/month | Includes Grok Bot. 4× more usage than Plus.xAI recommends for new AI users |
| Super | US$100/month | Everything in Premium. 15× more usage than Plus.xAI recommends for daily agent users |
| Ultra | US$200/month | Everything in Super. 50× more usage than Plus.xAI recommends for power users |
| Teams / Enterprise | No public price | Talk to xAI sales. |
One shared usage pool. Your plan’s usage is a single pool shared across Grok and Cursor; within Grok it covers Chat, Imagine, Voice and Bot. The allowance refreshes weekly. If you run out, you can buy optional paid top-ups or wait for the refresh.
Choose by workload. Pick a plan by how much your team and agents will actually use Grok in your busiest weeks — not by how many AI staff you have.
These are bundled xAI/X subscriptions, not Grok Bot-only plans. Prices are in USD, set by xAI, exclude taxes and fees (e.g. VAT) and may change. Plans are sold only directly by xAI/X: you pay xAI directly, separately from Built by Alif setup and care fees. We do not resell subscriptions.

per month, depending on setup
Care is optional. Ongoing help with your existing AI staff during business hours. Larger changes, new AI staff and new automation projects are quoted separately. If your support needs grow substantially, we’ll discuss it with you before changing the fee.
Support is via WhatsApp first, with calls arranged when useful.
Route B
A separate service for businesses that want a broader look at where AI and automation fit — and, if it makes sense, custom automation built with n8n.
KES 35,000
The consultation is a standalone service. Its fee is not automatically credited against, or deducted from, any later build. It is advice and planning — not a build.
Quoted per project
Custom n8n workflows are quoted only after a consultation, once the work is properly understood. There is no fixed minimum price. Examples of the kind of work that may be supported:
Quoted by Built by Alif for the specific workflows agreed after consultation.
Hosting or n8n Cloud, API usage and any other software subscriptions. These depend on volume and on provider pricing, which can change — estimates and their uncertainties are explained before you approve anything.
How It Works
This is the Route A setup process. Route B begins with the consultation.
A conversation about your business, your team and the repetitive work. We agree package size, roles, tasks and which connections are realistic.
Your AI staff are set up in your Grok Bot account — instructions, templates, business knowledge and agreed tasks for each role.
Supported connections agreed at discovery are set up. Anything complex is flagged and quoted separately before work begins.
Each role is tested with realistic examples from your business and adjusted until drafts and handoffs make sense.
Training for you and your team: briefing the Chief of Staff, reviewing drafts and approving. Optional monthly care is available from here.
FAQs
No. Every package includes a Chief of Staff. It is how your AI staff stay coordinated, and how you get one consolidated update instead of separate threads from each assistant.
Yes. Package numbers are your total AI staff. A four-person package is the Chief of Staff plus three specialists.
In the one-person package it handles briefings, organisation and reminders — a practical start if you want one assistant before adding specialists.
Yes. You own the Grok Bot account and pay its subscription directly to the provider. Setup fees cover the configuration work only.
One that lists Grok Bot — on xAI’s current list, Premium or above — and suits your expected workload. Plans, prices and usage limits are set by the provider and can change. We talk through your workload during discovery so you can choose with that in mind.
It is a referral link. For new accounts, our onboarding uses this link to sign up, and we disclose that openly. Any referral terms are set by the provider; no reward or discount is promised to you. You still own the account and pay xAI directly.
No. They prepare drafts, lists and updates. A person on your team approves before any external message is sent or action is taken.
Yes, if your package includes at least one specialist slot. It takes the place of one specialist rather than adding to your total — so in the full six-person team it replaces one of the five specialists rather than becoming a seventh.
Not for straightforward packages — the discovery conversation covers what is needed. The paid consultation is for a broader assessment or bespoke automation.
No. It is a standalone service and is not automatically credited against later work.
There is no fixed price or minimum. Builds are quoted per project after a consultation. Recurring costs such as hosting, n8n Cloud, API usage and other software are separate, usage-dependent, and paid by you — they are estimated before you approve.
Monthly care is optional, at KES 8,000–15,000 per month depending on setup. It covers troubleshooting, spotting issues, updating instructions and business knowledge, and everyday guidance on using your AI staff. Support is via WhatsApp first, with calls arranged when useful. Ongoing help with your existing AI staff during business hours. Larger changes, new AI staff and new automation projects are quoted separately. If your support needs grow substantially, we’ll discuss it with you before changing the fee.
You control your accounts, access and permissions, and can change or revoke them at any time. We agree together which business knowledge you supply for your AI staff, and anything external still needs human approval. Before connecting sensitive data, review the provider’s current privacy, security and data retention terms — we will point you to them, but we cannot guarantee how third-party software handles data.
Only connections that are supported and practical for your setup, agreed at discovery. Complex integrations are quoted separately, and packages do not include unlimited workflows.
