Who We Are

Where technology meets storytelling.

Blue Heron Companies is a privately held firm operating across technology, information, and media. We help organizations and entrepreneurs bring ideas to life — combining technical know-how with a media-first sensibility for how people actually engage with the things we build.

From digital products to content and brand, we work as a hands-on partner: small, senior, and accountable for outcomes rather than hours.

Our Portfolio

Four products, one company.

Blue Heron Companies builds and runs The Front Desk Company, AgentWorks Studio, EngageSuite360 and RookeryOS. Each product publishes its own plans and prices on its own site.

The Front Desk Company: an AI receptionist answers a call, takes the message and logs it to the CRM

Start here: an AI receptionist for your industry.

It answers your business calls like someone who works for you, tells callers what you do and when you are open, takes the message, logs it to your CRM and emails you. Larger plans add email and text messaging.

One receptionist per industry, each with a name, a voice and the vocabulary of the trade.

AgentWorks Studio: AI agents for 26 industries running a new-patient intake workflow

AI agents for 26 industries.

Agents that assist your people with the workflows common to your industry. Many are custom agents, built around how your business actually runs.

The way to evaluate them is the free Industry Assessment. Most businesses start at the front desk, with communications agents for phone, email and SMS.

EngageSuite360: an industry-shaped CRM pipeline, free forever

The complete suite: CRM, communications and agents.

A free-forever CRM shaped to your industry: real pipeline stages, your terminology and sample records from the first login, with unlimited teammates and no credit card.

Communications and AI agents are built in when you want them, so contacts, conversations and the agents working them live in one place.

RookeryOS: a seven-stage board taking a video from idea to published

A content platform for creators.

RookeryOS takes a video from an idea to a published cut: research the angle, score the hook, write the script, synthesise the voice, render, schedule and publish, all from one board.

Built for creators, agencies and businesses producing regular video. Publishing is live for YouTube today.

The architect: engagements by application.

The founder who designed and built every product above. Mid-market and enterprise operators bring him in for architecture reviews, AI workforce builds and front desks at scale: a few engagements a quarter, contracted through Blue Heron Companies.

How the products fit

Start at the front desk. Grow into the suite.

The business products share one platform, so moving up never means moving your data.

Answer every call

The Front Desk Company answers your phone, and on larger plans your email and texts, for your industry.

Run it all in one suite

EngageSuite360 brings CRM, communications and agents together, starting with a CRM that is free forever.
