// Practical AI for business
Curious about AI but unsure where to start? I help you understand the options, find useful applications and connect the right tools to the way your business actually works.
Work directly with me, from a first conversation to a custom integration, we start with the problem and agree how to measure improvement.
// Where it can help
These are possible applications to explore together. Suitability depends on your systems, the quality of your data and the level of review each task needs.
Plain English guidance for owners and teams: what the tools can do, where they fail and which everyday tasks are worth trying.
Classify incoming messages, summarise requests and prepare draft replies for your team to check before sending.
Help staff find answers in approved documents, with source references and access controls designed around their roles.
Extract useful information from forms and documents, flag missing details and route uncertain results for human review.
Link your website, CRM or internal application so useful information reaches the people who need it with less copying and pasting.
Add an AI-assisted feature to your existing Laravel application, or scope a purpose-built internal tool around a specific workflow.
// A manageable first step
01 / Discovery
Map a workflow, identify bottlenecks and assess data, permissions and existing tools. Leave with a prioritised recommendation and a clear scope.
02 / Pilot
Test one use case against agreed examples. Compare time saved, accuracy and running costs before deciding whether to invest further.
03 / Integration
Connect the pilot to your systems, add monitoring and review steps, document how it works and agree ongoing support.
// Built with care
AI can produce incorrect answers. We plan for that with approved data sources, representative tests, clear permissions and human checks for consequential actions. Provider choices, data retention and any sensitive information are discussed before implementation.
If a simpler automation or an existing tool would solve the problem better, I’ll recommend it.
// Scope & investment
Start with an initial conversation about your workflow. Discovery, pilots and full integrations are quoted separately so you can make one decision at a time.
Your proposal sets out deliverables, exclusions, milestones and any expected software subscriptions or AI usage costs. Ongoing support is agreed separately.
// AI costs, made clearer
Start with the decision you need to make, understand the opportunity, test a useful idea, or build a working application. These are guide budgets for my services, your fixed price and deliverables are agreed in writing before work begins.
Understand where to start
£650–£1,250
One-off guide budget
A focused review of one team or business process, with practical advice you can act on.
Advice and planning only. Implementation and wider organisational audits are quoted separately.
Test one useful idea
£2,500–£5,000
One-off guide budget
A small working pilot to assess whether one AI-assisted task is worth taking further.
A limited pilot, not a full production application. Wider rollout, complex integrations and substantial data clean-up are separate.
Build it into your business
£8,500–£20,000+
One-off guide budget
A custom internal tool or AI-enabled application built around an agreed business workflow.
Larger platforms, complex permissions and multiple integrations can exceed this range. New model training and ongoing support are separate.
AI provider usage, software subscriptions and hosting are separate from my fees. The cost depends on the model, number of users, document sizes and how often the system runs. Your proposal includes an estimate at your expected usage, with agreed limits and alerts where supported.
Maintenance, monitoring and further development are optional and scoped separately through an ongoing support arrangement.
A simple automation may need a smaller, individually quoted piece of work. Pilot budgets include evaluation and a decision on whether to proceed. Discovery, pilot and production are separate engagements. You can stop after any agreed stage. These budgets are not an all-inclusive bundle. If earlier work can be reused, the next proposal will explain how that affects its price.
The lower end assumes a focused workflow, usable data and straightforward access to your systems. More users, sensitive data, complex integrations or a wider rollout increase the scope.

// Plan your next step
Plan document extraction with validation, a review queue and reliable integration. Learn what to measure before automating live records.
Assess your workflow, data, risks and costs before investing in AI. A practical checklist for choosing a useful first pilot.
Compare standard AI tools, integrations and bespoke applications by workflow fit, permissions, total cost and maintenance.
Explore an internal knowledge assistant with approved documents, source references, access controls and a measurable pilot.
No. Bring an example of a repetitive task, a slow process or information your team struggles to find. We can work out whether AI is appropriate and what a useful first step would look like.
Yes, subject to reviewing the system and its available integrations. Discovery establishes what can be connected, which permissions are needed and whether changes to the existing application are practical.
The level of automation depends on the consequences of a mistake. A pilot can start with draft outputs and human approval, then expand only where the evidence supports it.
No. We agree a baseline and success criteria, then measure the pilot against them. That gives you evidence for the next investment decision rather than a promise based on a demonstration.
