Custom AI, built in Nashville A founder led AI studio for service businesses across the United States.
Raystone Automations was founded in 2024 on a simple observation: service businesses were being sold AI subscriptions, when what they actually needed was AI systems built around how they work. So that is what we build.
Built by Kolton Stooksbury
Kolton founded Raystone in 2024 and leads every build personally. The studio stays deliberately small on purpose: the person designing your system is the person who answers when you call.
Voice agents, automation pipelines, dashboards, and the marketing engines that run on top of them all come out of the same workshop, so the pieces fit together instead of fighting each other.
Systems should fit the business, not the other way around
The principles behind every Raystone build, and what clients walk away with.
Custom over template
No two service businesses answer the phone the same way or schedule jobs the same way. We start from how you operate and build the AI to match, never the reverse.
Tested before trusted
Nothing we build touches a real customer until it has survived batteries of realistic scenarios, from wrong names to odd requests. We would rather break it in rehearsal than in front of your callers, and escalation to a human is built into every flow from day one.
Earn the renewal
Every month the system has to pay for itself in answered calls and booked jobs. That keeps us honest and the work sharp. Clients stay because the system earns its keep every month.
What clients get
Most clients start with one system and grow into the others. AI voice agents answer and book your calls. Workflow automation runs the follow up, scheduling, and reporting behind them. AI marketing and SEO keeps new customers finding you in Google and in AI assistants. Each one stands alone, and they compound when combined.
The workbench
Vapi and Retell for voice, n8n for the pipelines, Twilio for text, custom code where off the shelf connectors fall short, and the same AI models that run Ray on this site. Boring, proven tools, assembled carefully.
Questions we hear about the studio
Where is Raystone located?
We are based in Nashville, Tennessee, and build for service businesses across the United States. Deployments are remote, so distance never slows a build down.
Who actually does the work?
Raystone is founder led. Kolton designs and oversees every system personally, supported by the automation tooling the studio has refined across its client deployments.
What kinds of businesses do you work with?
Service businesses that live and die by their phones: landscaping and contracting, plumbing, roofing, electrical, automotive, pest control, med spas, dental practices, and law firms among others.
Why should I trust an AI with my customers?
You should not, until it is proven. That is why every Raystone system goes through scenario testing before launch and continuous monitoring after, and why escalation to a human is built into every flow from day one.
