I’m Erik Budanov, founder of DigiDog. I connect Claude and AI agents to the tools you already use, like your CRM, bookings, email and analytics, so your team asks for answers instead of searching for them. Real projects, from tour operators to dental clinics.

Not demos. These systems run in real companies today. Each one started with the same step: walking through one business process and finding where AI saves the most time.
Tour operator · EuropeBookings arrive by email, guides need schedules, payments need tracking. We connected all of it, so managers simply ask about revenue, open tasks or tour performance.
Dental clinic chain · 7 branchesSeven branches, one patient journey. HubSpot connected to the clinic software through its API, with automations that move patients and tasks without manual copying.
Jewelry brandAI reads customer requests, pulls out the requirements and creates a first sketch automatically. The team starts from a draft instead of a blank page.
We go through one of your processes and show where Claude or AI agents fit. No obligation.
