A plain answer about whether AI helps your business, from a Nottingham company that used AI to build the programs that run its own books and customer record. Tell us what you do and we'll tell you which one thing would pay back first.
Our own work
We talk about AI from the inside. These are things we have built with AI for ourselves and for our customers, most of them for ourselves first, and most of them run without AI once they are made.
Put any address into the box on our home page and, while you wait, it checks what the AI assistants are allowed to read on the site and what they'd find there, 27 things in all, and writes the report in plain English. It's free and anyone can use it.
Keeping a site readable by the AI assistants and tracking its keywords on Google. We fixed advanta.pro first and keep it at 100 out of 100 on the scanner's AI readiness check, and that is the work we do for customers.
Invoices matched to the bank, every customer's history in one place. We built it with AI because we needed it, and like most of what we build it runs without AI once it is made; AI helps us read it and improve it.
Each of our customers has a page of their own showing their services, their invoices and the work we've done for them, kept up to date from the books without anyone typing it in twice.
AI that drafts your emails, pages and documents the way you write them, from a profile built out of how you write, so what comes back sounds like you and not like a machine.
A scheduled job, a form, a spreadsheet, a line of settings. Plenty of what gets called AI is better done without it, and we say so when it is.
In writing
Every quote we write carries these four lines.
We'll name the tool that does the job, whether that's AI or something plainer.
We'll put the monthly running cost in the quote beside the build price.
We'll build the thing. The quote is for a working result you can use the day it's finished.
We'll build it AI assisted, the way we built our own, and in most cases it will run without AI once it's done.
Frequently asked
The questions owners ask before an AI project, answered plainly.
A build that does one job for you, such as answering and sorting the enquiries that come in or finding anything in your own files, has come in between £2,000 and £8,000, with running costs of £20 to £100 a month depending on how much it is used. The build is a fixed price and the monthly running cost is written in the quote beside it.
Whichever suits the job. We use the main AI services, Claude first (Roger's favourite) and Google's second, and for work where the data has to stay put we run AI on our own equipment, so nothing leaves your control. We are not tied to any one of them and we build so that the AI behind a job can be changed without starting again.
It depends on the job. Sensitive work can run on our own equipment or in your own account, so nothing leaves your control. For everyday work the main AI services, under terms that stop them training on your data, are a sound place to begin.
Yes. Start with the first conversation, which costs you nothing but your time. We'll look at where you spend the most time on repetitive things and tell you whether AI would earn its keep there, and if the plainer tool would do the job, we'll say so.
