For businesses anywhere in Florida, Nexos — Abrams & Luchanski’s AI and software division, based in San Diego — designs and builds custom software, AI agents, workflow automation and private language models. Every Florida project is run remotely — workshops, reviews and training on video calls booked into Eastern Time business hours, and the build is designed around the Florida rules summarised below — breach notice, the telephone-solicitation act and, where it applies, the Digital Bill of Rights — with your own counsel confirming how they apply to you.
Florida’s workforce leans heavily toward services. The Bureau of Labor Statistics puts total nonfarm employment at roughly ten million in August 2026, and the biggest blocks sit in trade, transportation and utilities (about 1.99 million), professional and business services (1.64 million), education and health services (1.64 million) and leisure and hospitality (1.34 million). Manufacturing, by comparison, accounts for about 429,000 jobs. This is an economy of bookings, claims, tickets, appointments and leases rather than assembly lines.
The Census Bureau’s business counts show how fragmented it is. There were 645,575 employer establishments in 2023, together carrying just under ten million people on payroll, and QuickFacts records a 3.7% rise in that employment between 2022 and 2023. Beside them sit more than 3.1 million nonemployer establishments: independent agents, contractors, property managers, consultants and one-person shops, many of which will hire their first employee long before they buy their first real system.
Money and property are a large part of the picture, too. Financial activities — banks, insurers, lenders, title and real-estate firms — account for about 676,000 jobs. And the state’s farms remain a serious business: the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services counts 44,400 commercial farms on 9.7 million acres in 2024 and $9.24 billion in agricultural cash receipts for 2023, with Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties leading the state in sales value.
There are no Florida projects in our history to point to, and nothing below pretends otherwise. Each item is an argument from the numbers above: the kind of work Florida’s industries generate, and the build that removes the most of it.
Hotels, rental managers, restaurant groups and attractions field the same questions all day — availability, changes, refunds, directions — across email, web chat and text. An agent grounded in your own policies and booking system drafts or sends the routine answers and hands the unusual ones to staff, so a busy weekend does not mean a backlog on Monday.
Policy applications, loss notices, closing packages and loan files arrive as PDFs and scans that someone reads and re-keys. Extraction with validation rules — and a reviewer for anything below a confidence line — moves those fields into the system of record and leaves an audit trail showing who approved what.
Practices, clinics and professional firms want AI drafting and search without sending protected records to a public service. A model running on your own server, or hosted and dedicated to your company, keeps that material inside a boundary you control and makes Florida’s duty to secure personal information easier to meet.
Pool, pest, HVAC, roofing and property-maintenance firms often run each branch from a separate spreadsheet or scheduling export. A modest data platform that combines jobs, technicians, callbacks and receivables gives the owner a weekly view across every location without a manual roll-up.
For a firm moving from one owner to a dozen staff, the right first step is often a small custom tool — intake, quoting, job tracking — rather than an enterprise suite configured to fit. We scope it around the way the business already works, and the written scope states who owns and hosts what at handover.
Florida’s headline privacy statute reaches only very large companies, but two older laws apply to almost every business: the breach-notification and data-security statute, and the telephone-solicitation act that governs automated dialing and texting. The AI-specific rules Florida has enacted are narrow — § 106.145, for instance, requires a disclaimer on deceptive AI-generated political advertising — and none reviewed here governs an ordinary business deploying an agent or chatbot. The Senate’s 2026 “Artificial Intelligence Bill of Rights” (SB 482), which would have regulated chatbot platforms, passed the Senate but died in the House on March 13, 2026.
The full set of consumer rights and controller duties binds only for-profit businesses with more than $1 billion in global annual revenue that also earn half their revenue from online advertising, run a voice-command smart speaker service, or run an app store offering at least 250,000 applications. Separately, § 501.715 bars any for-profit business collecting Floridians’ personal data from selling sensitive data — health, biometric, precise location and similar — without prior consent, and requires a posted notice when it does. The Department of Legal Affairs enforces, with penalties of up to $50,000 per violation, a discretionary 45-day cure period, and no private right of action.
Every commercial entity that holds personal information in electronic form must take reasonable measures to secure it and dispose of it so it cannot be read. After a breach, affected individuals must be told within 30 days, and the Department of Legal Affairs as well when 500 or more Floridians are affected; a vendor holding the data must report a breach to its client within 10 days. That vendor duty applies to anyone hosting or processing the data for you, including an AI provider.
An unsolicited sales call or text that uses an automated system to select and dial numbers, or plays a recorded message, needs the recipient’s prior express written consent. A recipient can sue for the greater of actual damages or $500, tripled for willful violations — though for texts they must first reply STOP and give the sender 15 days. Any AI voice or SMS outreach to Floridians has to be designed around it.

Florida’s calendar shapes the schedule more than distance does. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, according to the National Hurricane Center, and that is when insurers, restoration contractors and field-service firms are least able to spare people for discovery sessions or a cut-over — so we schedule discovery and cut-over around the weeks your team names, and keep launches away from the September peak where you ask us to. A hotel or restaurant group gets the same courtesy around its own busiest weeks, which it names for us rather than the other way round. Whatever the timing, the written scope carries the fixed price and names the date the first working piece is due.
Nearly all of Florida is on Eastern Time, three hours ahead of our Pacific clock, so reviews go in your late morning or afternoon — 11 a.m. in Miami or Orlando is 8 a.m. for us. The western Panhandle, beyond the Apalachicola River, keeps Central Time, two hours ahead of ours, so the same 8 a.m. Pacific review lands at 10 a.m. on a Pensacola clock and at 11 a.m. in Jacksonville.
Remote: discovery, reviews and training over video, with shared documents and working software in between. Eastern Time for most of the state; Central Time in the western Panhandle, including Pensacola.
The free technology audit is a call and a written audit, wherever you are, Southern California included. Outside Southern California, all of it runs over video.
Audit — free: a call and a written technology audit.
Build — from $4,900 per fixed-scope project.
Run — from $890/month for a hosted private model.
The same prices everywhere. See pricing.
Aidan Luchans founded Abrams & Luchanski in San Diego in 2024, and designed and built the Nexos Platform, a multi-tenant AI operations platform: AI agents, multi-step workflows with human approval, connections to roughly 90 business tools, and private knowledge search.
Aidan leads both the firm’s advisory work and Nexos’s engineering, so the person who scopes a project also builds it.
Since every Florida engagement runs over video, a company in Pensacola or the Keys is served on the same terms as one in Brickell or downtown Tampa.
Yes, remotely. Nexos is Abrams & Luchanski’s AI and software division, founded in San Diego in 2024. We have no Florida office; each Florida engagement runs over video on Eastern Time, at the same published prices as everywhere else.
A Florida agent is priced exactly as it would be anywhere else we work: the audit costs nothing, a fixed-scope build begins at $4,900, and running it on a hosted private model begins at $890 monthly. Remote delivery means no travel cost is added.
Usually not in full. Its consumer-rights duties reach only companies above $1 billion in global revenue that also meet an advertising, smart-speaker or app-store test. But the rule against selling sensitive data without consent, the breach-notice law and the telemarketing act apply far more widely — confirm your position with counsel.
Only with care. Florida’s telephone-solicitation act requires prior express written consent before automated sales calls or texts, and lets recipients sue. We build outreach so that consent is captured and checked before any message goes out, and so that STOP replies end the conversation.
It depends on the size of the build, and the written scope states the schedule alongside the fixed price. A single automation or agent is small enough to show as working software within the first few weeks; a larger custom system is delivered in stages, each one reviewed with your team on a call before the next begins.
A short description is plenty. We reply within one business day.
Nexos works alongside Abrams & Luchanski consultants so technical solutions are designed around the business — not the other way around.
