Built inside a working integration firm.
Flywheel isn’t a software company that discovered the channel. It’s an integrator that got tired of solving the same problems alone.
We hired the staff ourselves first.
Livewire has designed, installed and serviced home and commercial technology in Central Virginia since 2002. Like every integrator, it ran into the same four walls: marketing that only happened when there was time, quotes that went cold, service tickets routed by the same two people and back-office questions nobody had hours to chase.
So we built AI employees to take that work, put them on our own payroll and held each one to a single number. The ones that moved their number stayed. The ones that didn’t were rebuilt or let go.
Flywheel started in 2025 building tools for integrators: Lifecycle, Permit Miner and Intel Engine. In 2026 it relaunched as a community, offering the same staff to a small group of founding firms and getting better with every firm that joins.
At Livewire today, the AI staff books 47 outbound conversations a month, answers service requests in 3 minutes and keeps 34 permit-sourced projects in the pipeline.
Why a fast follower can’t catch up
Decades of trust
In this channel the calls get returned. We’ve been on the other end of them since 2002.
One tool stack
Integrators run the same systems. A connector built once works for every member on that tool.
Staff already working
The AI employees are producing in a real firm with a real P&L, not sitting on a roadmap.
The timing
The channel is going to get AI staff from someone. It should come from integrators.
Run by owners
Henry Clifford, co-founder, runs Livewire, the firm where every Flywheel AI employee goes to work first.
Flywheel’s product council is made up of the owners of its founding member firms. They decide what gets built next, because they’re the ones who have to run it on Monday.
