First Agent NRVBlacksburg · Christiansburg · Radford
Hire your first AI employee
You run the business and do the admin too. We set up an AI helper that takes the busywork off your plate. It's local, done in person, explained in plain English, and you stay in charge.
Your evenings are going to the inbox
Most small-business owners in the valley are their own office manager. Emails pile up, follow-ups slip, and appointments get missed. The paperwork gets done after closing time.
- Answering the same questions over and over
- Forgetting to follow up on a quote
- Losing track of deadlines and appointments

Meet the founder
Hi, I'm Aaron Richards
I run my own brick-and-mortar retail store here in the valley, and I use AI agents to run it every day. I built First Agent NRV the same way, with AI.
Before that I taught middle school English and taught yoga. I'm also a dad of two. I explain technology the way I'd explain it to a class: clearly, patiently, and without jargon.
Founding businesses: we're looking for 3
We're starting with three New River Valley businesses, such as shops, landscapers and service businesses. Founding businesses get hands-on setup and a direct line to Aaron.
I'm interestedLet's talk
Send us an email or a Facebook message, and we'll set up a coffee chat.
