A3 Lab is led by an operator who ships production AI on his own money

A3 Lab is a Vancouver-based studio founded by Priyanshu Goyal. Before building automations for other companies, the same stack was used to ship and operate the work below. The point isn’t hype — it’s that the systems we deploy for you have already survived our own production environments.

Live system

Algorithmic trading bridge

Multi-symbol, multi-timeframe AI trading system running live on a funded prop account. Claude as the decision layer, MT5 as execution, with hard safety gates, human approval boundaries, and a full ledger reconciled against the broker. Built and operated end-to-end.

Founding-customer programme

We’re onboarding our first cohort of named clients at a reduced rate, in exchange for a published case study and a reference call once we’ve delivered. Capped so each build gets the engineering standard above. Apply for a slot →

Automation that actually works

From lead enrichment pipelines to AI-powered reporting and messaging assistants, we build workflows that save your team dozens of hours every month and create clear, measurable ROI.

Lead Enrichment Pipelines

Automatically research prospects, enrich CRM data with AI-gathered insights, and deliver qualified lead profiles straight to your inbox or Sheets.

How it works: A new lead hits your CRM or form → Perplexity researches their company, role, and recent news → Claude drafts a personalized outreach email → Zapier logs everything and sends automatically.

  • Designed to free up: prospect-research time
  • Connects to: HubSpot, Salesforce, Notion, Google Sheets
  • Delivery: 1–2 business days

AI Content Engines

Multi-step content pipelines that research topics, draft posts, format for your brand voice, and schedule across channels, all on autopilot.

How it works: You define your topics and brand voice → Perplexity researches trending angles → Claude drafts, formats, and optimizes the content → Zapier schedules it across LinkedIn, Twitter, your blog, and email.

  • Designed to free up: research, drafting, and scheduling time
  • Connects to: Buffer, Notion, WordPress, Mailchimp
  • Delivery: 2–3 business days

Customer Support Bots

Intelligent AI agents that handle customer inquiries, route tickets, generate responses, and escalate only when a human touch is needed.

How it works: Customer submits a ticket → Claude reads and categorizes it → auto-responds to common questions instantly → escalates complex cases to a human with a full context summary already written.

  • Designed to handle: repeat questions, with human escalation built in
  • Connects to: Zendesk, Intercom, Gmail, Slack
  • Delivery: 2–4 business days

Discuss a retainer

To keep your automations running smoothly, you'll need an active subscription to at least one major AI provider (such as Claude, OpenAI, or Perplexity). We design your system around the tools you already use or are happy to adopt.

Common questions

Virtually any workflow that can be broken into structured steps. Common builds include lead research and enrichment, content generation pipelines, customer support automation, reporting dashboards, meeting prep systems, data entry workflows, and competitive intelligence monitoring. If it involves repetitive knowledge work, we can likely automate it.
Starter builds ship in 1-2 business days. Pro systems with complex multi-agent logic take 3-5 business days. Every build includes testing, documentation, and a handover call so you understand exactly how your system works.
No. We build everything on no-code and low-code platforms like Zapier and Make. You get clear documentation, a walkthrough call, and ongoing support. Our systems are designed to run on autopilot with minimal oversight.
Our core stack includes Perplexity (for AI-powered research and data gathering), Claude (for complex reasoning, content generation, and custom logic), and Zapier/Make (for connecting tools and orchestrating workflows). We also use OpenClaw to deploy chat-first agents directly inside WhatsApp, Telegram, and Slack, with human handoff built in. On top of that, we integrate with your existing tools: Notion, Slack, Google Workspace, CRMs, databases, and custom APIs.
Yes. To keep your workflows running reliably, you'll need an active account with at least one AI provider such as Claude, OpenAI, or Perplexity. We'll recommend the best option for your use case during the strategy call, and we'll design your system to minimize usage while still delivering strong results.
Monthly retainers include workflow monitoring and optimization, new automation builds (scope depends on tier), priority support via a dedicated Slack channel, performance reporting, and quarterly strategy reviews to identify new automation opportunities as your business evolves.
Absolutely. Most clients start with a Starter or Pro build, see the results, and then move to a retainer for ongoing optimization and expansion. There's no pressure to commit to a monthly plan upfront.

What this looks like in practice

Three workflows we ship most often. Same pattern, adapted to your tools and inputs.

Pattern · Sales

Prospect research and outreach pipeline

Trigger: A new lead lands in a CRM, form, or list.

Pipeline: Perplexity researches the company and role. Claude drafts a personalized first-touch email grounded in that research. Zapier logs the enriched record and sends from your domain.

What changes: Reps stop hand-researching cold leads. The first touch reads like it was written by someone who actually read about the company.

Perplexity + Claude + Zapier + CRM
Pattern · Support

Ticket triage with human handoff

Trigger: A support email or ticket arrives.

Pipeline: Claude reads the ticket, classifies it, drafts a reply for routine questions, and routes anything ambiguous or high-stakes to a human with full context attached.

What changes: Routine replies go out in minutes, not hours. The human queue shrinks to the cases that genuinely need judgment.

Claude + Zapier + helpdesk + CRM
Pattern · Reporting

Scheduled research and report delivery

Trigger: A recurring time (Monday morning, end of month, hourly).

Pipeline: Perplexity gathers fresh data on a defined topic set. Claude summarizes, compares against last period, and flags what changed. Zapier delivers to inbox and archives in Notion.

What changes: Manual report assembly stops. The recurring deliverable arrives ready to read.

Perplexity + Claude + Zapier + Notion

Every company needs an OpenClaw strategy. We design and install it for you.

NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang says every company now needs an agentic AI and OpenClaw strategy — a workforce of AI agents that can actually take actions, not just answer questions. We deploy and customize OpenClaw so those agents quietly run your ops in the background while your team focuses on the work humans are best at.

OpenClaw is an open-source AI assistant that runs on your own computer or server — not on someone else's cloud. You message it from WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, or any chat app you already use, and it doesn't just answer questions — it takes action. It sends emails, manages files, browses websites, runs scripts, and handles scheduled routines like morning briefings and inbox sweeps. A3 Lab handles the entire setup: we install it, connect your channels, configure custom workflows, and make the whole thing usable for non-technical people.

Lives in Your Chat Apps

Control everything from WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, or any messaging app you already use. No new dashboards to learn — just text your AI like you'd text a colleague.

Your entire operation, one chat thread away.

Does Things, Not Just Says Things

This isn't a chatbot that gives you answers and waits. OpenClaw opens browser tabs, sends emails, organizes files, fills out forms, and runs shell commands on your behalf.

An AI with hands, not just a mouth.

Private by Default

OpenClaw runs on your machine or your server. Your data, conversations, and business logic never touch a third-party platform you don't control. For industries where privacy matters, this is the only way.

Your data stays exactly where you put it.
