Paper Phage

AI software for local businesses · Metro Detroit

We eat the paperwork.

Paper Phage builds AI software that takes repetitive office work off your team: reading forms, typing the same data twice, chasing follow-ups and copying information from one system to another. Your people get their hours back for the work that needs them.

Tell us what eats your time How it works

How it works

No big software project. One small, useful win first.

  1. We learn where your time goes

    A short conversation about your day: what gets typed twice, what waits in an inbox, what someone does by hand every Friday. Then we research how businesses in your field already use AI, so what we suggest is proven, not a guess.

  2. We build one thing that works

    A small first project with a clear scope and price agreed before we start, built around your real work and the tools you already use.

  3. We keep it running

    We host it, watch it and improve it. When your work changes, the software changes with it.

What we take off your plate

Every business is different, so these are examples, not a menu.

  • Paperwork and documents

    Pull the details out of forms, invoices, faxes and PDFs and put them where they belong.

  • Email and messages

    Sort the inbox, draft replies for a person to approve, and make sure nothing sits too long.

  • Systems that don't talk

    Move information between your tools so nobody retypes it from one screen into another.

  • Follow-ups and reminders

    Quote follow-ups, appointment reminders and renewal notices that go out on time, every time.

  • Reports

    The numbers you pull together every week, gathered automatically and explained in plain English.

  • Answers for your team

    An assistant that knows your procedures and finds the answer in your own documents.

Why Paper Phage

  • You talk to the engineer

    The person on the call is the person who builds your software. Nothing gets lost in a handoff.

  • Local

    We're in metro Detroit. We can sit with your team and watch how the work really gets done.

  • Your data, explained

    Before anything is built, we show you where your information goes and who can see it.

  • No AI for its own sake

    If an off-the-shelf tool already does the job, we'll tell you, even if it means less work for us.

From the founder

I'm Reese Maxwell, a software engineer who builds AI systems for healthcare. Most of the businesses around me still run on paper, phone calls and spreadsheets, and the people in those offices lose hours every week to work a computer could do. I started Paper Phage to change that, one office at a time, here in metro Detroit.

Why the name? A phage is a tiny virus that eats bacteria, nature's own cleanup crew. Paper Phage eats paperwork. (It's pronounced like "page" with an F: fayj.)
