I Help UK  |
Actually Use AI

Not theory. Not slides. Not generic “AI strategy” decks. I analyse your business, tell you honestly whether AI can help, and if it can, I build something custom that actually works.

Not sure if AI is right for your business? The quiz tells you in 5 minutes.

I Use AI Every Day

I do not just advise on AI. I build with it daily. I know what works, what is hype, and what will waste your money.

🎯

Honest From Day One

If AI is not right for your situation, I will tell you in the first call. No wasted time, no wasted money, no sales pressure.

🇬🇧

Built for UK SMBs

This is not McKinsey pricing. I work with real businesses at realistic budgets. Most projects start from £500.

What I Actually Do

Every business is different, so every engagement is different. But here is the kind of work I do, and the kind of results you can expect.

🔍

Honest Assessment

I look at your business, your processes, and your team. Then I tell you straight: here is where AI will genuinely help, here is where it will not, and here is what to do first.

🛠️

Custom Implementation

No templates. No off-the-shelf packages. I build solutions around your specific workflows, your data, and your team's capabilities. Everything is tailored to you.

📚

Team Training

Your team needs to understand and trust the tools they are using. I run practical, hands-on sessions that turn sceptics into confident AI users.

⚙️

Workflow Automation

The biggest wins are usually the boring ones: automating repetitive tasks, speeding up data entry, streamlining customer responses. I find those wins and build them.

🧩

Bespoke AI Applications

When off-the-shelf tools are not good enough, I build custom solutions. Chatbots, document processing, content systems, analytics pipelines. Whatever your business needs.

📞

Ongoing Support

AI moves fast. I stay on hand to help you adapt, answer questions, troubleshoot issues, and make sure you keep getting value from your investment.

How It Works

No complicated procurement process. No six-month wait. Just a straightforward conversation, an honest assessment, and clear next steps.

01

Free Discovery Call

We have a 30-minute conversation. You tell me about your business, the problems you are facing, and what you have tried so far. I ask questions, listen carefully, and give you my honest first impressions. No charge, no obligation.

02

Analysis & Fit Assessment

I go away and properly analyse your situation. If AI can genuinely help, I come back with a clear proposal: what I would build, how long it takes, and exactly what it costs. If AI is not the right answer, I tell you that instead. No one benefits from forcing a solution.

03

Build, Test, Deliver

Once we agree on the plan, I build it. You see progress regularly, test things as they develop, and have input throughout. I do not disappear for weeks and come back with something you did not ask for. When it is done, I train your team and make sure everything works.

Every Engagement Starts With an Honest Conversation

I have turned down work because AI was not the right solution. That might sound like bad business, but it is the opposite. When I tell you something will work, you know I mean it, because you have already seen me be honest about what will not.

Every project starts the same way: you tell me about your business and the problems you are trying to solve. I listen, ask questions, and then give you a straight answer. Sometimes that answer is “AI can save you 20 hours a week on this.” Sometimes it is “You do not need AI for this; a simple spreadsheet formula would do the job.”

I work with businesses across the UK, from sole traders to companies with 200+ staff. Retail, legal, healthcare, finance, construction, recruitment. The industries vary, but the approach is always the same: understand the problem first, then find the right solution. Not the other way around.

Transparent Pricing

Every project is priced individually based on scope, complexity, and timeline. You will always know exactly what you are paying for before we start. No surprises, no hidden fees.

Most Projects Start From

£500

Smaller businesses with focused, well-defined needs. Audits, assessments, and targeted improvements.

Full Implementation

£2,500+

End-to-end AI solution design, build, testing, and team training. Custom to your business.

Ongoing Advisory

£500/mo

Retained access to expert guidance as you grow. Like having a fractional Chief AI Officer on call.

The discovery call is always free. I will give you a clear, fixed-price proposal before any work starts.
