AI assistants & automation

Workflow automation, assistants, and agents, scoped to what your business actually needs.

Abstract long exposure light trails tracing looping red, white and pink paths against darkness.

Most small businesses don't need a custom-built AI agent, they need one repetitive task taken off someone's plate. We start there: a single workflow, like triaging enquiries, chasing invoices, or answering the same handful of customer questions, automated with clear limits on what it's allowed to do on its own. Nothing goes live without a human approval step somewhere it matters, and every handover back to a person comes with notes, not a dead end.

Workflow automation is the cheapest and fastest way in, and it's where most engagements start: connecting the tools you already use (email, calendar, CRM, spreadsheets) so information moves between them without someone copying and pasting it. From there, an AI assistant can answer questions using your own site content and documentation, in one channel, your website chat, for example, and hand over to a person the moment it's unsure or the conversation needs judgement it doesn't have. For businesses that need something more capable, a custom agent can carry out multi-step tasks using your own tools and data, but only with scoped permissions we agree in advance, evaluation against real examples before it goes live, and an audit log so you can see exactly what it did and why. We treat an agent like any other piece of production software: it has an owner, a rollback plan, and a way to measure whether it's actually working, not just whether it runs. Once something is live, our AI care plan keeps it that way, we monitor it, re-test and adjust prompts when the underlying model changes, and include a small allowance of changes so the automation keeps pace with how your business actually works. AI usage is billed separately. We only use well-known hosted model providers (not experimental or self-hosted models) and we check each provider's current data-handling terms with you before anything goes live, rather than assuming last year's policy still applies.

Timeline

How it works

Five to six weeks, sometimes a little longer.

  1. Week 1

    AI discovery call

    A short conversation to find the single highest-value task to automate first.

  2. Week 2

    Scope and quote

    A fixed quote for the workflow, assistant or agent, with permissions agreed up front.

  3. Weeks 3-5

    Build and evaluate

    Built and tested against real examples before anything goes live.

  4. Week 6

    Go live, then AI care

    It goes live with a human approval step, and AI care keeps it working as models change.

Goals and requirements can change, and availability can affect this timeline.

FAQ

Questions

How do you make sure an AI agent doesn't do something wrong?
Scoped permissions, evaluation before rollout, a rollback path, and a named owner. Agents that take real actions start with human approval on send until the process has earned trust.
Can an agent work from our own data and tools?
Yes. Agents are grounded in your documents, APIs, and internal tools, with scoped access rather than broad, unaudited permissions.
Are AI agents expensive to run?
Running costs vary with usage and the model chosen; we scope this with you up front and flag it as part of the estimate, alongside the build cost.
What kind of workflows can be automated?
Common starting points are lead qualification, enquiry triage, invoice chasing, and appointment reminders: repetitive tasks with clear rules and a predictable shape.
Will it work with the tools we already use?
Usually yes. We connect to the systems you already run (inbox, CRM, invoicing, ticketing) rather than asking you to switch tools.
We don't know where to start. Can you help scope it?
Yes. Describe the workflow that takes up the most time and we will tell you honestly whether automation is the right fix, and how small a first slice could be.
