And when you have a question

Ask in plain English, get an answer with the numbers behind it.

The agent reads across the connected tools and shows which records the answer came from.

Most AI is bolted onto a mess.

Your data sits in tools that don't connect, and the work between them is done by hand. There's nothing for AI to fit into.

95%

of generative AI pilots showed no measurable profit impact in six months. Most failed because the tools didn't fit day-to-day operations.

Each works on its own, and you can add others later.

We build the system first, then the AI.

Step 01

Call

A free 30-minute call about how work moves through your business and where it stalls.

Step 02

Plan

We interview the people doing the work, then agree what to build first and how to measure it.

Step 03

Build

We build the first item and connect it to your existing tools.

I build the systems and keep them running.

That includes a competitor intelligence platform a business uses to set its prices.

Questions we get asked.

No. What we build works on your own tools and data, inside the way your team already works. If a generic tool would do the job, we'll say so.

Neither. We work alongside the tools you already use and replace none of them. The code and the accounts it runs in are yours.

The first build is one job, so you see it working on your own data before anything bigger is planned.

Usually the tool didn't fit how the work gets done. We start from one workflow and build around it.

Your tools connect through their official APIs, and everything is built in accounts you control. Nothing moves into a platform of ours, because there isn't one.

A fixed fee, scoped to one job and quoted before any work starts.

Find the job that's costing you hours.

Thirty minutes with Steve, about the job you most want off your plate. If there's nothing worth building, we'll tell you.

Is this just ChatGPT with a wrapper?

Will this replace our tools, or lock us in?

Do we have to commit to a big project?
