AI and automation · Manchester
Practical AI help for your business, from engineers who build it.
We help businesses around Manchester and Cheshire use AI and automation where it genuinely saves time or makes money. Senior engineers who build AI systems, on a monthly subscription or a scoped project, without months of workshops or a long contract.
Based in Hale, near Manchester. We work remotely across the UK and travel nationwide when it helps.
Where businesses usually start
Real problems, not AI for its own sake.
Repetitive admin
Copying data between systems, sorting emails, pulling details out of documents and forms. Often solvable with a small, well-built automation.
An assistant over your own information
Staff or customers asking questions of your documents, policies or product data, with answers grounded in your own content.
AI inside your product
AI features customers will actually use, built properly and evaluated so you can see how well they work before they go live.
Tools your staff are already building
People using ChatGPT, Claude or AI coding tools like Cursor to build scripts and small apps the business now relies on. We help them do it well, and show you what exists.
How we work
Support your team, build it, or get a second opinion.
Support for your team
Senior engineers alongside the people building your automations and tools: weekly office hours, reviews, and a monthly picture of what has been built. See cover.
We build it
A scoped build of an automation, assistant or AI feature. We built Digbi, our own conversational AI assistant for property, with Python, LangGraph and AWS. See our work.
A second opinion
A few days to look at an AI idea, a supplier's proposal or something already built, and tell you what we would do. See consultancy.
Start with one problem.
Bring one process or idea to a free 30-minute call. We will tell you honestly whether AI is the right tool for it, and what a sensible first step looks like.
No red tape
Easy to start, easy to stop.
- Monthly subscriptions, cancel any time, no notice period.
- Pay by card, or by invoice and purchase order if your finance team needs it.
- You talk directly to the engineers doing the work.
- Bought as a service, so there is no hire to approve and nothing on your headcount.
- UK business hours, based in Hale, and happy to come to you.
Straight answers about AI
Not every problem needs AI. Sometimes a simple automation or a better spreadsheet is the right answer, and we will say so. When AI does fit, we show you where your data goes and flag the risks we see, so you can make an informed decision.
Questions
Is my business too small for AI help?
No. Small businesses often get the quickest wins, because automating one process can free up a real part of someone’s week. We start with one problem rather than a big programme.
How much does it cost?
Engineering cover starts at £1,500 a month + VAT for teams of up to five people building their own tools and automations. Projects and consultancy are quoted after a free 30-minute call, before any work starts.
Is our data safe with AI tools?
It depends on the tools and how they are set up. We show you where your data goes, recommend safer options and flag the risks we see. We do not provide legal or compliance sign-off, so your data protection responsibilities stay with you.
Which tools do you work with?
Our experience is in code and AI: Python, TypeScript, LLMs and agent frameworks such as LangGraph, retrieval over your own data, AWS, and AI coding tools like Cursor and Claude Code. If your team builds in a low-code platform we have not used, we will tell you up front.
Do you only work with Manchester businesses?
No. We work with businesses across the UK remotely, and travel nationwide when it helps to be in the room.
