# My Sick Builds

My Sick Builds is a boutique AI and automation consultancy based in the Nashville area, run by Cory Micek. MSB builds three core systems for service businesses: AI Operating Systems (custom dashboards and orchestration layers that give businesses an AI-powered command center), Workflow Systems (n8n and Trigger.dev automations that replace manual processes with reliable, measurable pipelines), and Voice Systems (AI voice agents for inbound and outbound client communication). The practice focuses on regulated and relationship-driven verticals including HVAC, roofing, insurance, law firms, and driving schools.
