Local. The office is on 30A, the founder is Mark Jones, and the person who scopes an engagement is the person who builds it. Nova3 AI is part of Trifecta Agency and is a member of the Walton Area Chamber of Commerce.

Yes. In-person scoping on 30A, in Destin, or anywhere in Walton County is normal, not an exception. Work after that happens wherever it is most efficient, which is usually a mix of on site and remote.

AI operations is the layer of a business where AI does the work rather than advises on it: agents that execute repetitive workflows, automations that remove handoffs between tools, intelligence layers that hold standing company context, and in some cases a full operating system the company runs on. It is an operations discipline, not a marketing tactic.

It starts in the Sandbox with a scoping conversation about where work actually piles up. No discovery template, no strategy deck. The output of that conversation is a single workflow chosen for volume and pain, and a plan to put an agent on it.

A single-workflow agent typically ships in days rather than quarters. Larger operating systems are staged so something useful is running in the first weeks and the rest lands in visible increments.

Pricing depends on the number of workflows, the systems the agents must touch, and whether the engagement is a single build or an ongoing operating system. Scoping in the Sandbox is free and produces a real number rather than a range. Call (850) 924 8500 to start.

No. In practice the team keeps the judgment work and stops doing the retyping, the copying between systems, and the chasing. The first agent nearly always replaces a handoff, not a person.

That is the normal starting point for local businesses here, and it is workable. Agents are wired into whatever is actually in use, and where a system has no sane way in, the workflow is restructured rather than the whole stack replaced.

You do. The workflow logic, the context, and the guardrails belong to the business. Nothing is held hostage in a proprietary platform you cannot leave.

Whichever is best for the job at the time. Everything is model agnostic by design so the operation moves with the frontier instead of being rebuilt every time a new model ships. The model underneath is a swappable component.

Data access is scoped to the workflow, credentials stay server side, and nothing customer facing is trained on. Where a client requires it, processing is restricted to providers and regions they approve.

New agents run supervised, with a human approving output against real traffic. Autonomy is relaxed only where the record supports it, and irreversible actions such as payments keep a human in the loop by default.

Yes. The local pages exist because the local market is home, but engagements run nationally. The Sandbox is the entry point either way.
