# AI for crypto and digital asset companies

Ship AI Studio builds AI workflows for digital asset companies with 10 to 500 people, including teams that hold or are applying for licenses. It prepares the treasury close, regulator requests, and business customer files for your team to approve. It never holds signing keys. Start with a $1,500, one-week AI Assessment.

## Workflows we look at first

### Month-end treasury close

- Today: Finance lines up wallet activity, network fees, reserve holds, and bank statements in spreadsheets, and the close slips.
- With the system: Every wallet movement is matched to its bank entry or explained, with the chain record and the statement line attached.
- Your part: The controller confirms each match before it is booked. Only the open items need attention.

### Regulator and license requests

- Today: Each examiner request or license renewal sends compliance digging through policies, logs, and reports by hand.
- With the system: The records for each request are gathered, listed against the request, and a draft response is prepared.
- Your part: Your compliance officer reviews and sends every response. The system does not file anything.

### Business customer onboarding

- Today: Analysts collect formation documents, owner IDs, and source-of-funds evidence by email and check each file by hand.
- With the system: Documents are checked against your onboarding policy, gaps are listed, and one request to the customer is drafted for approval.
- Your part: Compliance approves or declines every business customer. The file and the decision stay on record.

Trades and fund movement: A person decides every trade and every release of funds. The system never holds keys.

## The AI Assessment

One week on one workflow. For a digital asset company, the week usually starts with the close or a regulator request. We work with treasury or compliance, look at the ledger, the chain data, and the bank feed, and put a number on the delay.

- A map of where leads, hours, and paperwork get stuck today

- What it is worth, in dollars

- Workflow or agent: which one fits, and what it needs access to

- A ranked plan with the tools, checks, and approval points

- A fixed Build Sprint scope, or a clear reason not to build

## Controls

- **A person approves.** Anything that goes out in your name, changes a record, or moves money waits for your yes.

- **Every action on record.** Each step is logged with its inputs, its source, and who approved it.

- **No keys, no fund movement.** The workflow reads only the ledger, chain, and bank records it needs. It never holds keys that can move funds.

We build on the tools you already use: your ledger, block explorers and node providers, custody and exchange APIs, bank feeds, compliance tools, and the CRM. The Assessment confirms which ones we can reach and how.

## Questions and answers

### How much does AI cost for a digital asset company?

With Ship AI Studio, the first step is the AI Assessment: $1,500 for one week. A Build Sprint is $5,000 flat for one workflow or agent, live in two weeks. AI Operations is $999 a month to keep it running. The Assessment fee is credited in full toward a Build Sprint that starts within 30 days.

### What do we get from the $1,500 AI Assessment?

In one week we review one workflow with your team. You get a map of where the hours go, what the fix is worth in dollars, whether a workflow or an agent fits, a ranked plan with the approval points, and a fixed Build Sprint scope or a clear reason not to build.

### Can the system move funds or sign transactions?

No. The workflow reads records and drafts files. It never holds signing keys, and a person on your team approves every release of funds.

### Does the founder know licensing?

Yes. Santos Hernandez spent four years at ZBD, which holds money transmitter licenses in 26 states and D.C. and won the EU's first MiCAR approval. That shapes how the approval rules and the log are built.

### Do you work with token launches?

No. We build for operating companies with customers, a finance function, and a legal entity. Token launches, trading bots, and unlicensed money movement are outside what we do.

### Do you guarantee results?

No. The Assessment puts a dollar number on the workflow before you spend more. If the number is too small to pay for a build, the readout says so and you stop there.
