Done-for-you AI, automation & websites · South Africa
Nodus is a South African automation studio. We build the quiet AI systems that answer your customers, chase your leads and handle the admin — plus the websites and assistants that catch the business you’re missing. All set up for you, in plain language.
You only pay once it’s live and you’re happy. No jargon, no monthly lock-in.
Real work, really shipped
The quickest way to know we’re the real thing: go and open one. Canvas Hope is a South African art-workshop business whose website we designed, built and put live — click straight through and see it for yourself.

What we do
From a chat assistant on your site to a whole system quietly running in the background — pick the thing that’s costing you the most time or the most customers, and I’ll build it for you.
A smart assistant on your website that answers customers day and night and captures every lead — so an after-hours question becomes a booking, not a missed message.
A done-for-you website for businesses Google can’t find yet — with click-to-call, WhatsApp, a lead form, and your Google listing tidied up.
Auto-answer WhatsApp, email and form enquiries the second they land — and gently chase the leads that go quiet.
The data entry, copy-paste and reporting nobody wants to do — set up once to run quietly on its own.
Scheduling, quotes and invoices created and sent automatically, so the paperwork keeps itself.
AI that finds and organises new prospects for you — the POPIA-safe way, so it stays legal and clean.
Bigger, joined-up automations across all the tools you use — built to fit exactly how your business runs.
Hands-on sessions that get you and your team genuinely using AI in the business. Practical, plain-English, no hype.
See it live
Everything below is live and clickable — including a real client site we designed and shipped. Open any of them and have a play.
AI Front-Desk
It lives on your website, knows your business inside out, talks to customers in plain friendly English — then quietly hands you their name and number.
From R2 500 once-off · you only pay once it’s live.
Live AI Front-Desks I built for actual guest houses. Open one and ask it anything.
…or tap “Chat with us” in the corner — that one’s trained on Nodus itself.
Get-Found Websites
A clean, done-for-you website for businesses that don’t have one yet. Customers can call, WhatsApp or send an enquiry in one tap — and you finally show up when they search.
From R1 950 once-off · or a low monthly plan. Pay once it’s live.
A real site we designed and shipped, alongside sample builds for local trades. Open any to see the shape of it.
Yours would be built around your business, name and services.
How it works
Tell me what’s eating your time or losing you customers. No jargon, no obligation. If I can’t help, I’ll say so.
You get a fixed quote up front — no surprise bills — then I set the whole thing up and test it end to end. About a week.
The work happens on its own from then on. You only pay once it’s live and you’re happy with it.
Simple pricing · in Rand, no surprises
Everything is quoted up front from these packages — the products above have their own fixed prices. Pick by size of the job; I’ll confirm the exact number before any work starts.
One nagging task, gone — the single thing you do over and over that a machine should be doing.
A whole task handled start to finish — the one that touches a few tools and always needs babysitting.
A proper system, not a patch — several jobs automated and joined up, with me alongside as it beds in.
Prices are starting points and set per job — you’ll always get a fixed quote before any work begins.
About
Nodus Automations is run by Lauchlan du Preez — a South African who builds practical AI, automation and websites for small businesses that don’t have the time (or the patience) to fiddle with tech.
The idea is simple: most small businesses lose customers not because their product is bad, but because a message went unanswered, a lead was never followed up, or Google couldn’t find them. I build the quiet little systems that fix those moments — so you can get on with running the place. Everything is done for you, priced up front, and yours to keep.
