AI for small businesses
Use AI to save time and win more work.
AI can answer enquiries at midnight, write your quotes and chase late payers. It can also waste a lot of money. We help you pick the few uses that actually pay off, then build them for you.
Where AI helps small businesses most
Never miss an enquiry
An assistant on your website or WhatsApp that answers common questions, takes details and books calls, even when you are on a job.
Faster quotes and emails
Turn your notes or a voice memo into a professional quote or follow-up email in seconds.
Reviews and repeat work
Automatic review requests after each job, and reminders that bring past customers back.
Less admin
Sort your inbox, log enquiries in your CRM and pull reports without copying and pasting.
How we help
- AI check-up. We look at how your business runs and find the jobs where AI would save the most time or bring in the most money.
- A clear plan. A short written plan covering what to do, what to skip, what it costs and what it should return. We tell you when buying an off-the-shelf tool is better than building.
- Build and set-up. We build or set up the tools with our trusted partners and train your team.
- Stay on track. We stay involved until the tools are working.
For tech start-ups and boards
For start-ups and growing tech companies we also offer board-level AI strategy: a clear AI roadmap, build-versus-buy decisions, a business case tied to revenue, and a view of what your competitors are really doing with AI. Sachin has been working with AI for more than six years, including AI that helps triage medical conditions for health organisations in Africa.

Common questions
Is AI worth it for a small business?
Often, yes, but only for the right jobs. Answering common questions, drafting quotes and emails, sorting enquiries and following up are good places to start. Big, expensive AI projects rarely make sense for a small business.
We already have a CTO or developer. Why would we need you?
Developers know how to build AI. We help decide what is worth building, how it will make or save money, and how to explain it to your board, customers and investors.
We are a very early start-up. Is this relevant?
Yes. Getting AI right early is cheaper than fixing it later, and investors increasingly ask about it.
Our AI project isn't going well. Can you help?
Yes. We will look at what is happening, tell you what to keep and what to stop, and help get it back on track.
