The AI hype cycle is exhausting.
ChatGPT subscriptions. Zapier tutorials. Make.com workflows. Half-finished automations gathering dust in Notion. You watched a YouTube video, you tried, you gave up. We see this every week.
Our version: we build the automations, you use them, we maintain them. Pay monthly — not £4k upfront for a build that breaks the moment an API changes. If it breaks (everything breaks), we fix it. You don't get woken up by a Zapier error email at 11pm.
Ten things AI can do for your business.
Pick what fits. Each automation is built, hosted, maintained, and improved by us — forever. Tick 2+ for volume discount (5% / 10% / 15% as your stack grows).
🔥 Heavy automations — customer-facing or revenue-critical
Voice receptionist
AI voice agent answers every call 24/7. Books meetings into your calendar, qualifies leads, routes urgent stuff to your mobile, sends transcripts to your CRM. Customers think they're talking to a human (and they're getting better service than they would from one).
Support chatbot
AI chatbot embedded on your site, trained on your products, policies, FAQs, and history. Handles 60–80% of customer queries instantly. Hands off to a human only when it can't help. Cuts support tickets in half within 30 days.
Sales call → CRM
Every sales call recorded, transcribed, summarised. Action items extracted. Deal stages updated. Follow-up emails drafted. Hot leads flagged. Your sales team stops doing CRM admin and starts selling.
Lead-finding outreach engine
Automation engine that runs cold outreach for you. Finds prospects matching your ICP, drafts personalised emails, sends from warmed inboxes, manages replies, hands hot leads to your CRM. You bring the strategy and copy direction; we run the engine.
⚡ Standard automations — significant workflow lift
Inbound lead qualifier
Every form submission gets an AI-driven follow-up within 60 seconds: qualifying questions, scoring, routing to the right salesperson. Cold leads get nurtured automatically; hot ones get instant attention.
Client onboarding
New customer signs up → welcome email sent, contract drafted in DocuSign, kickoff call booked, Drive folder created, Slack channel spun up, internal team notified. Same flow every time, zero manual steps.
Invoice / receipt processing
Invoices and receipts arrive (email, PDF, photo) → AI extracts the data, categorises, posts to Xero/QuickBooks. Duplicate detection. VAT validation. You approve in bulk. Month-end closes itself.

Watches Google, Trustpilot, Facebook, industry sites. Drafts on-brand responses to every review. Flags 1–2 star reviews for human review. Asks happy customers for reviews automatically.
💡 Light automations — quiet recurring ROI

What does "an automation" actually do?
Specific, repeatable workflow with a trigger, set of actions, and outcome. Example: customer fills your contact form → AI qualifies the lead with 3 questions → if hot, books a slot in your calendar and notifies the salesperson on Slack → if cold, drops them into a nurture sequence. That's one automation. The 10 on this page are examples — yours might be slightly different.Will this replace my staff?
No. It removes the boring bits so your staff can do the work they're actually good at. We've yet to see a business automate a person out of a job — usually the opposite. They free up enough time to take on more clients without hiring.What's the catch with "no setup fee"?
The catch is a 6-month minimum commitment. Or you pay setup upfront (£299/£499/£999 depending on automation band) and you can cancel any month. Same total over 12 months either way — we just give you the choice between commitment and flexibility.Why are you so much cheaper than other UK agencies?
We've built reusable foundations for each of these 10 automations. Most agencies build every client from scratch — we customise a well-tested base. You get the same outcome, faster, at about 75% of the price. The savings come from our delivery efficiency, not from cutting corners.What if my use case isn't on the list?
