Put Claude and ChatGPT to work on real business problems
AI is only useful when it's wired into your systems, your data and your processes. That's what we do: practical, secure AI that does real work, with a person in the loop where it matters.
Document processing
Read invoices, orders, contracts and forms automatically, extract the data and push it straight into your systems.
AI agents & automation
Agents that carry out multi-step tasks: triaging email, updating records, chasing approvals, and escalating to a person when needed.
Assistants over your data
Secure assistants that answer questions from your own documents, policies and databases, and cite their sources.
AI-powered reporting
Ask questions of your data in plain English and get summaries, trends and anomalies flagged automatically.
Private & secure by design
We use business-grade AI APIs, send only the data a task needs, and design with UK GDPR in mind.
AI-accelerated delivery
We use AI tools throughout our own development process, so you get working software sooner and for less.
Start small. Scale when it's working.
Every engagement is shaped around your goals, your budget and how much risk you want to take on.
Discovery workshop
A focused session to map your process, find where software and AI will pay off, and produce a clear plan and estimate.
AI proof of concept
A quick, low-cost prototype that tests an AI idea against your real data before you commit to a full build.
Bespoke build
We design, build and launch your software as a defined project, with regular demos so you see progress every step of the way.
Ongoing partnership
A retained development team that supports, improves and extends your systems month after month.

Support & improve
We keep things running, measure results and drop what isn't working in favour of what is.
How much does bespoke software cost?
Every project is different, so we'll always give you a clear estimate after an initial conversation. We keep costs down with AI-assisted development, proven open-source technology and affordable cloud hosting, and we're happy to start with a small proof of concept so you can see the value before committing to more.
How long does a project take?
It depends on the scope. A focused AI proof of concept is much quicker than a full business system, but either way we deliver in stages, so you get working software early rather than waiting months for a big reveal.
Is it safe to use AI with our business data?
Yes, when it's done properly. We use the business APIs from Anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI (ChatGPT) rather than consumer chat apps, only send the data a task actually needs, keep people in the loop for important decisions and design everything with UK GDPR in mind.
Claude or ChatGPT: which will you use?
Whichever fits the job best. Each has strengths for different tasks, so we'll recommend the right model, or combination, for your use case and design your system so it isn't locked into a single provider.
Can you work with the systems we already use?
Almost certainly. We connect to accounting, CRM, ERP and reporting systems through APIs, databases or file exports, so new software works alongside what you already have.
Do you only work with Midlands businesses?
We're based in the UK Midlands and enjoy meeting local clients face to face, but we're happy to work with businesses anywhere in the UK.
