About
An engineering company that happens to be an agency
AutomIQ AI is led by Richard Rodriguez, an engineer and operator in Hoboken, New Jersey. Before building AI systems for clients, Richard built them for himself: the bridal studio, the alterations business, and the platforms behind NYC restaurant venues in this portfolio are businesses he owns or operates, running daily on software this team wrote.
That origin shapes how we work. We do not sell hours, decks, or seats in someone else’s tool. We build systems, test them like the money depends on it, because it does, and operate them month after month.
Principles
- Results over promises. We lead with numbers, including the ones that are not flattering.
- Plain English. If we cannot explain the system simply, we do not understand it yet.
- Humans approve. AI does the work, people make the calls that matter.
- Own your stack. Your data, your configuration, and your outputs belong to you, always.
The footprint
7 production platforms. More than 3,500 automated tests. Live systems in hospitality, retail, services, and B2B sales. One office in Hoboken, five minutes from Manhattan.
