Founder, Bace Agency · Lake Forest, Illinois Founder
Michael Pavlovskyi
I have led AI teams inside a family office, automated a commercial insurance agency, and built AI applications for private-equity shops. Across 97+ projects at Bace Agency, most engagements free up 20 to 30 hours a week, with 95% client retention over three-plus years.
I am based in Lake Forest and work across Chicago and the North Shore. I have spoken on AI for professional services at Northwestern University and Lake Forest College.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a product I sign up for?
No. Bace Agency is a forward-deployed implementation team. We build the agents, deploy them into your own stack, and hand them to your team. You own what we build. There is no login, no subscription, no self-serve app.
What exactly is an agent playbook?
A named, repeatable system for a specific job in your firm, like Renewal Chaser or Matter Intake & Conflict Check. We build it into the tools you already use, with a human review step, and document it so your team can run it.
How fast do you ship?
We work in weeks, not eighteen-month programs. The audit is a short hands-on read; the build is a focused sprint that puts a working agent into production. We fix scope rather than let a timeline drift.
How do you handle confidential client data?
Security is the starting point. For confidential work we can run everything on a private, self-hosted setup on infrastructure you control, so nothing leaves your systems, with a human review step and an audit trail.
Who do you work with?
Commercial insurance agencies, law firms, and wealth advisors, plus private equity and family offices, across Chicago and the North Shore.
