Same admin.
Every week.
Let’s change that.
Chasing enquiries. Typing up invoices. Copying between apps.
I join up the tools you use so the boring jobs take care of themselves.
One job that eats your week. No preparation. No obligation.
Here’s what that looks like
Pick a business or an everyday job. Each animation is an example project, using illustrative details.
Trades example: a customer asks for a kitchen quote at 21:04. A reply in your tone goes out a minute later, the enquiry is saved to your CRM, you are notified, and a follow-up is booked for Thursday at 9am.
Accountants example: a client sends a photo of a fuel receipt on WhatsApp at 08:12. AI reads the supplier, amount, VAT and category, posts it to Xero with the receipt attached, and thanks the client a minute later.
Solicitors example: a conveyancing enquiry arrives at 18:40. A fixed-fee quote and intake form go out a minute later, the matter is queued for a conflict check, and a call is booked for Wednesday at 2pm.
Salons example: a client asks on Instagram at 13:15 for a Saturday cut and colour. A reply with two free slots goes out a minute later, the booking goes in your diary with a deposit link, and a reminder is set for Friday at 6pm.
Invoicing example: a job is marked done at 16:30. An invoice built from your price list, with a pay-by-card link, is emailed a minute later, saved to Xero, and a payment reminder is set for day 15.
Email example: 37 emails arrive overnight. By 07:02 they are sorted, the complaint is flagged, bills are filed, replies are drafted for you to check, and a short summary lands at 07:05.
Social posts example: you send a photo of a finished job at 17:45. A post in your tone is written for each platform, you approve it at 17:50, and it is scheduled for Facebook, Instagram and your Google profile on Thursday at noon.
Content example: you record a short voice note at 09:10. A blog post draft is written from your notes by 09:14, you approve it at 11:30, and it is scheduled to publish on Monday at 8am with a newsletter version.

Works with the tools you already use
The inner ring is what I build with. Around it are the everyday apps I connect it to, and if yours isn't here, it can usually still be joined up.
Logos are trademarks of their owners and are shown to name the tools I work with. No partnership or endorsement is implied.
Some information needs to stay private
Client files, care records, staff details. You need to know where they go before you put AI anywhere near them.
I can build a private assistant that finds answers in your documents, on your own hardware or agreed UK hosting. We decide what it can read, who has access and what gets stored.
UK hosting alone doesn’t make a system private. The data flows, access rules and suppliers need checking too.

Hello, I’m Neil
The person on the call is the person who builds it.
I work with small UK businesses, from sole traders to teams of 50. We’ll start with what’s taking up your time, then work out whether automation would actually help.
If a simpler fix will do, I’ll say so. If we build something, I’ll test it with you, show you how to use it and leave clear instructions. Your accounts and documentation stay with you, so someone else can take over if you need them to.

The things you might be wondering
What will it cost?
The first 20-minute call is free. The AI audit is £495, credited against a build if you go ahead within 60 days. Builds start at £1,500; most are £1,500–£6,000 and take 2–6 weeks. Optional support starts at £95 a month. Software and hosting are separate, and all costs are agreed before work starts.
What if it breaks or gets something wrong?
We test it on your examples before it goes live and agree which actions need your approval. AI can make mistakes, so unusual items can be held for review. The handover explains how to pause it and carry on manually. Optional support covers monitoring and fixes within the agreed scope.
Where does my data go?
Before building, we agree which information each tool can access, where it is stored and who can see it. For sensitive work, a private AI setup can run on your own hardware or agreed UK hosting. We review any outside connections; UK hosting alone is not a privacy guarantee.
Am I tied to you afterwards?
No. The accounts are in your name, and you get the workflows and plain-English documentation at handover. Another developer can take over. Support is optional and can be cancelled with a month’s notice; any software subscriptions keep their own terms.
Do I need to understand AI?
No. Bring one job you are tired of doing each week. I will ask how you do it now and explain what could help, using your own examples. You do not need to choose software or prepare anything for the call.
What’s the one job you’d
like off your list?
Tell me on a free 20-minute call. We’ll look at how you do it now, what could change and whether it’s worth doing.
No preparation, no pressure. You’ll speak directly to Neil.
