AI for Operations
AI solutions built around a specific operational task, the information it needs, and the people who review the output. We start by understanding the process and deciding where AI can be useful, then define a practical scope.
About the Studio
Practical AI, websites, and connected systems for small businesses.
JPZank Studio is a founder-led studio founded in 2024 and based in Vancouver, Canada. Led by João Vilela, AI & Operations Specialist, it works in English and Portuguese to reduce manual work and connect business information.
What JPZank Studio does
Systems & Automation
Integrations, internal tools, and automations that move information between the systems a business uses. At Jardim da Amazônia, delivered operational systems connect guest movements to kitchen meal counts, an iPad kitchen view, and recipe quantities. Further AI-agent work is ongoing.
Websites & Web Apps
Websites and web applications built around a clear offer or a specific workflow. Projects include the multilingual Jardim da Amazônia website and a payment-approval application for a credit-union operation. The Studio also develops Qubi, a restaurant menu product still in development.
What makes JPZank Studio different
The founder leads every project
João Vilela scopes every project, develops it with Daniel Oliveira, and replies to messages within 5 hours on business days. There is no account manager between the client and the people doing the work, which is the usual structure at a generalist agency.
Operations first, then screens
In prior employment, João supported 200+ programs across 67+ countries and coordinated 25+ suppliers as a supply chain manager. That prior employment is the foundation for a practice that starts from how the work moves, then chooses the AI, integration, website, or app that fits.
Live in 7 days, built for the business
A typical website launches in 7 days once the content is in, custom-built rather than assembled from a Wix or Squarespace template. The Studio can also build the intake, the internal tool, or the automation behind it, so a new inquiry does not stop at an inbox.
8 projects in two languages
The Studio has delivered 8 projects since 2024, in English and Portuguese, between Canada and Brazil. They include the multilingual Jardim da Amazônia site and three hotels in Pipa.
No long-term contract
The first step is a one-minute diagnostic that asks for no contact details. After launch, 30 days of fixes are included and support is month to month, with no annual retainer.

- Small and mid-sized businesses, usually up to 100 employees, with larger projects welcome

- Hospitality consultancies with a wide offer to explain on one page

How JPZank Studio works
1. Diagnostic
Tell us about your project by email, or start with the one-minute diagnostic, which asks for no contact details and suggests a likely first move.
2. Fit call
A 15-minute call, booked from the diagnostic result, or an email to hello@joaovilela.space. Messages get a reply within 5 hours on business days.
3. Proposal
A written proposal with scope, price, and timeline. Nothing starts until it is approved.
4. Kickoff
A 50% deposit starts the project, followed by one checklist for the content, access, and decisions the work needs.
5. Build and review
A typical website launches in 7 days once content is in, with two rounds of review. Apps and automations get their own timeline in the proposal.
6. Launch and support
The remaining 50% is due at launch. The first 30 days of fixes are included; after that, support is optional and month to month.
Who you work with
João Vilela is your point of contact throughout and develops alongside Daniel Oliveira. Social media and paid traffic run through specialist partners. Email and video calls, in English or Portuguese.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a project cost?
Prices are not published, because scope varies more than a price list can show. Each project is scoped after the diagnostic and a first conversation.
Do I need to know what I need before getting in touch?
No. The one-minute diagnostic asks where the friction shows up and how the work is handled today, then suggests a likely first move. It asks for no contact details.
Do you only work with businesses in Vancouver?
No. The published projects are in Brazil, and the work runs remotely by email and video call. The Studio works in English and Portuguese.
Can you work with the tools we already use?
Yes, that is usually where the work starts. The diagnostic asks whether the work lives in spreadsheets, email, or systems that do not connect, and the first move is often connecting what is already there.
How long does a project take?
A typical website launches in 7 days once the content is in. Apps and automations vary more, so their timeline is set in the proposal.
What happens after launch?
The first 30 days of fixes are included. After that, support is optional and month to month, with no long-term contract.
Do you handle social media and paid ads?
Yes, through specialist partners. The Studio builds the site and the systems behind it, and João coordinates the partners who run social media and paid traffic, so you keep one point of contact.
Who will I actually work with?
João Vilela, the founder, scopes the project, develops it, and is your point of contact from the first call to launch. Daniel Oliveira develops the base of each project alongside him.
