What we actually build

One enquiry,
start to finish.

A task that arrives the same way every time, handled the same way every time — with a person still making the call.

  1. 01 / ARRIVES

    The same kind of task, again.

    Five minutes’ work on its own. Forty a month, across email, phone and a web form, it is a day you never get back.

    Happens on its own
  2. 02 / PREPARED

    The routine part is done for you.

    The date, the numbers and what is missing are pulled out and filed. No retyping.

    Automation
  3. 03 / YOUR CALL

    You make the decision.

    A draft reply waits for you. You change what needs changing and approve it.

    You
  4. 04 / SENT

    It goes out, and it is followed up.

    The reply is sent, the follow-up booked and the enquiry logged, so you can see how fast you answer.

    Happens on its own

    Illustrative example, not a client result. Your process and tools will differ.

AI & automation

Clear prices,
agreed before we start.

Most projects start with one of these. If yours does not fit, we scope it with you and put a fixed price in writing.

Fixed price for the agreed scope, in writing before we start. Any subscriptions the system needs are listed in the proposal with their monthly cost. What we can automate ↗

Your choice of AI

You choose the AI model.

If you have a preference, or a concern about where your data goes, we build on the model you are comfortable with, such as ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. Running costs depend on the model and how much it is used, so we either include them in the price or agree them with you before we start.

AI models

Works with

Independent studio. Not affiliated with or endorsed by these providers.

Safe by design

Built so you stay
in control.

Handing work to AI is a reasonable thing to worry about. These are the rules every system we build follows.

Nothing important happens without you Anything that sends, pays or changes a record waits for your approval, until you decide otherwise.
You choose the AI model ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or another, with running costs agreed before we start.
Only the access it needs We agree in writing what the system can see and change, and who can change it.
You know where your data goes Before we build, we tell you which providers process your data, and where.
A record of every action The system keeps a log of what it did, so you can check it at any time.

the people building it.

Led by Sameer Akhtar, after fifteen years in financial services and technical support. We run our own studio on the same kind of AI agent we build for clients. We agree what a project covers before building, and if a simpler answer exists, we say so.
