AI that works in the background

Take back your time.

Approvals to chase, details to retype, the same questions every day. We set AI to do that work in the background, safely, so your people spend their time on the work that needs them.

Where your time goes

The work nobody chose

Every organisation has it: small, repeated tasks that fill the week and need none of your people's skill. This is the work AI does well, quietly and every day. See the services behind it.

Chasing approvals

Invoices, leave and purchase orders reach the right person, with reminders, and nobody has to chase.

Typing things twice

Details from forms, invoices and emails land in the right system without being keyed in again.

The same questions

Staff and customers get answers from your own policies and guides, at any hour.

Meeting write-ups

Notes, actions and follow-up emails drafted as the meeting ends, ready to check and send.

Weekly reports

Figures gathered and summarised before Monday’s meeting, not during it.

A full inbox

Email sorted and first replies drafted, so the day starts with what matters.

Example · Joining up your systems

Enter it once. Every system gets it.

Sales, finance, HR and operations often run on separate systems, so people copy the same details from one to the next. We build automated processes that pass the data between them, check it on the way and send anything odd to a person. Nobody types the same thing twice.

Before · ExampleManual
Typed inFour times, into four systems
TimeAbout 25 minutes an order
MistakesFound at month end
After · ExampleAutomated

The same approach joins up a school's MIS, finance system and parent app, or a charity's CRM, fundraising platform and Gift Aid records. Talk to us about joining up your systems.

Who we help

Businesses, schools and charities

The tasks change from one sector to the next. The aim doesn't: more time for the work your people are there to do.

Businesses

Quotes, timesheets, supplier invoices and the weekly figures, handled in the background, so the people who run the business aren’t stuck on its paperwork. AI for businesses →

Schools and trusts

Letters home, attendance follow-up, parent emails, policy updates and governor reports, with pupil data protected and staff checking everything that goes out. More time for teaching. AI for schools and trusts →

Charities

Funder reports, Gift Aid records, volunteer rotas and supporter emails, so more of every hour goes on your cause. AI for charities →

How we work

Your time back, in four steps

We start small, prove the time saved on real work, then hand it over. Read our approach.

  1. 01

    Find the time

    We spend time with each team to find the tasks that take the most hours and suit AI best.

  2. 02

    Make it safe

    We check who can open what, set clear rules and protect sensitive data, so AI only works with what it should.

  3. 03

    Prove it

    A small group uses it on real work first. We measure the time saved, so you decide with evidence.

  4. 04

    Hand it over

    We roll it out, train each team on their own tasks and review what's working every quarter.

How we keep it safe
PeopleAI suggests; a person checks anything important before it's sent or saved
DataAI only sees what each person can already open, and we fix that first. Personal and pupil data is assessed under UK GDPR before anything is switched on
ResultsTime measured before and after, and reported plainly
SystemsMicrosoft 365 or Google Workspace, connected to the systems you already use where they allow it
Use cases · Larger projects

Fix the process, not just the task

The biggest savings often come from looking at a whole process rather than one task, and at the data it runs on. AI and automation are only as good as that data, so every process project starts with a data quality check. These are the larger projects we recommend once the first tasks are running. Talk to us about a larger project.

01

Process review and redesign

We map a process end to end with the people who run it, remove the steps that add nothing and check the data it depends on. Duplicates, gaps and out-of-date records lead straight to wrong results, so we fix them before AI and automation take anything on.

02

New processes, built in from day one

Starting a new service, site or team, or bringing a new school into the trust? We design the process with automation built in from the start, rather than added later.

03

Order to invoice, joined up

Orders, invoices, approvals and payment reminders linked into one flow, with customer and supplier records cleaned up first. A person handles only the exceptions.

04

An assistant that knows your organisation

An AI agent that answers from your own policies, procedures and past work, for staff or customers, and shows where each answer came from.

05

Joiners and leavers

Accounts, equipment, training and paperwork for a new member of staff or volunteer set in motion from one form, and reversed when someone leaves.

06

Board, governor and funder reports

Figures from your systems pulled together and drafted into the report, ready for a person to check and finish.

How we quote

Quoted for what you need, one stage at a time

We don't sell packages. Each stage has its own fixed quote, agreed before it starts, and you decide whether to go on after each one.

  1. Step 01 · Free

    Discovery call

    A short call about where your time goes and what AI could take on first. No obligation.

  2. Step 02 · Fixed quote

    Readiness assessment

    Where it helps, we look at how you work and what your data is like. You get a scored report and a plan.

  3. Step 03 · Fixed quote

    First project

    A pilot or a first process, with the time saved measured. Then you decide whether to go on.

  4. Step 04 · Quoted by stage

    Roll out and review

    Each further stage quoted on its own. Flows, prompts, policies and documents are yours to keep.

Talk to us

Start with a conversation.

Tell us where the time goes. On a short call we'll suggest the tasks AI could take on first, and whether a readiness assessment is worth doing. The call is free, there's no obligation, and you decide what happens next.
