Naka — managed front desk
Phones, chat, booking, and follow-up when your team cannot. We run it with you.
- One recovered job can cover months of service
- Less than a part-time hire
- Start here if missed calls and slow follow-up are the leak
AI consulting
You already know where the week breaks.
We look at the real bottleneck, then build a custom AI teammate that carries the repeatable work — so your people keep judgment, relationships, and craft. Especially strong in private schools. Also for lean operators who are already the whole department.
Creative problem-solving. Time back. Humans stay in charge.
Two different offers
Naka covers the line. Consulting covers the work behind it.
Same company. Different shape. We will not sell you a custom project if a managed front desk is the honest first move — and we will not pretend a phone bot fixes a campus that is drowning in everything else.
Consulting — custom teammates
A scoped teammate (or a small set) for the work that never fits a product box.
- Built around how you already operate
- No requirement to buy a front desk
- Start here if the pain is ops, admissions follow-through, or a one-person seat
Who this is for
Private schools. Lean operators. People who are already good at the job.
This is not a classroom on “how to use AI.” You already know the work. We build the teammate that takes the grind so you can stay in the human parts.
Private schools
Tiny front offices. Admissions that die after the first call. Event spikes. One person owning campus technology. Leaders living in the inbox.
- Hours back without another hire you cannot staff
- Parents get a calm answer; people keep the hard conversations
- No extra software for tired staff to babysit
Lean operators
Agencies, practices, and small teams where the owner is still the overflow.
- Repeatable work leaves the founder’s nights
- Knowledge stops living in one person’s head
- High-stakes calls stay human
What we will not do
We do not sell “AI will replace your teachers or counselors.” We do not run unsupervised student-life work. We do not take open-ended transformation retainers that never end.
- Fixed problem. Clear scope. You keep every human decision.
What we design
Teammates for the work that never ends.
Names are optional. The job is what matters. We pick one bottleneck first — then expand only if it is earning its keep.
Admissions follow-through
Inquiries stop dying after the first hello. Tours get set. Packets go out. Follow-up stays gentle and on your rules.
Front-office triage
Hours, directions, who-to-call, event basics — answered without pulling a person off a parent who actually needs one.
Campus ops force-multiplier
Routine account and ops work drafted and run under guardrails. The director keeps strategy and the hard calls.
Onboarding helper
New staff and students stop waiting on one hero. Checklists and account workflows move without the 11 p.m. scramble.
Leadership brief
One calm daily picture: calls, leads, open loops. Nights stop going to digging for what already happened.
Whatever is stealing the week
If it is repeatable and it is burning your best people, we will say so plainly — and design around it, or tell you it is not a fit.
How it works
We listen. We build one teammate. We run it with you.
- Listen — your real bottlenecks, not a feature menu
- Build — one scoped teammate with your voice, rules, and never-touch list
- Run — we stay on it; you keep every decision that requires a human
High-stakes work stays human. Discipline, counseling, medical, custody, threats, and sensitive student records are never unsupervised. We design the fence in from day one.
Why this works
Built in a real one-person seat — not a lab.
The founder already ran a full campus technology load as one person. The teammates were built to win hours back, not to demo well. That is the standard we bring to yours.
We build, we do not lecture
You do not buy a workshop. You get a teammate that does real work in your environment.
We stay on it
Weekly tuning. A name at Nakara on the hook. Not another login you are supposed to babysit.
You keep the craft
AI takes the repeatable load. People keep care, judgment, and the relationships that actually matter.
FAQ
Straight answers.
Is this the same as Naka?
No. Naka is the managed front desk — phones, chat, booking, follow-up. Consulting is custom work for the load behind the line. Many teams start with one. Some need both. We will recommend one first move.
Do I need an AI employee to work with you?
No. Bring the bottleneck. If a custom teammate is wrong and a front desk is right, we will say so. If neither is right, we will say that too.
Is this only for schools?
Education is where we are especially strong. Lean operators in other fields are welcome when the problem is the same shape: too much repeatable work on too few people.
Will you replace teachers or counselors?
No. That is not the offer. People keep the human work. We take the grind that keeps them from it.
How do we start?
Book 30 minutes. Come with the thing that is stealing the week. We will be straight about fit, scope, and timing.
Bring the bottleneck.
Thirty minutes. Plain language. One recommended first move — a custom teammate, Naka on the line, or an honest no.
