The work that quietly doesn’t get done

I build custom AI systems that do it — drafting the replies, reading a week of feedback, deciding when the lights come on. Scoped from a couple of days watching how your work actually runs, then built at a fixed price by the person who’ll still be supporting it.

Days from first message to a signed-off build — spec, source, build, install.

Services

Built around how your business actually runs

Four kinds of work, one method behind all of them: a couple of days watching how it runs now, a written specification of what's worth building, then a fixed price.

AI Automation

Automate the work that happens after hours — drafting the replies, summarising a week of feedback, moving data between systems that don't talk to each other. Every version scored against fixed test cases, so a change that makes things worse gets caught before a customer sees it.

  • Workflow audits
  • Agent pipelines
  • Evaluation harnesses
  • Unattended operation

Custom AI Agents

Assistants and decision systems built around your workflow rather than a generic chatbot bolted onto a website. They work in your business's own voice, to your rules, with the things they must never do written down and enforced outside the model.

  • Internal assistants
  • Document & data extraction
  • Brand-voice drafting
  • Routing & decision logic

Sales & Revenue Automation

Catch the revenue that leaks while everyone is busy: the unhappy customer who leaves without saying anything, the follow-up nobody sent, the weekly report nobody reads. The measurable end of this work.

  • Lead capture & routing
  • Follow-up sequences
  • CRM pipeline automation
  • Revenue dashboards

AI Integration

Connect AI to the tools you already run on — Drive, Sheets, your inbox, your CRM, your till system — so it reads and writes where the work already lives instead of becoming one more place somebody has to check.

  • Tech stack audit
  • API & platform integrations
  • Workflow optimisation
  • Monitoring & alerting

It plugs into what you already use

Your business doesn't move onto a new system. The AI reads and writes where the work already lives.

Work

Built, delivered, still running

Five projects with the decisions written out — including the ones that went against what most builders would have sold.

An AI that writes in someone else’s voice

Restaurant owners don’t answer their Google reviews — it’s forty minutes at eleven at night. This drafts the replies in each business’s own voice, and enforces variation outside the model so Google doesn’t strip them for repetition.

Scored 3.5 → 4.8 out of 5 against a fixed set of twenty-five reviews.

A trading desk built not to fail mid-session

An active trader needed several charting and news windows up at once. The obvious buy is a high-end gaming machine, and it’s the wrong machine. Every decision came down to removing failure modes rather than chasing benchmarks.

Eleven days from first message to sign-off. He has kept hiring me since.

HomeKit Harmony · Leyton

The house that ran on emergency lighting

Thirty-odd lighting circuits behind a dead proprietary system, and nobody would take the repair on. I kept the wiring and replaced the brain, then gave the building something to think with.

Running unattended on open standards. No supplier can switch it off again.

A review platform that runs on hardware I make

Someone taps a station on the counter. Happy customers go to Google; unhappy ones reach the owner privately while they’re still in the building. Platform, AI, hardware, payments and contracts all built by one person.

One owner ran two branches side by side: 3.1 → 4.2 stars, reviews up 106%.

Joe & The Juice

A label holder nobody asked for

Packing delivery orders was slower than it needed to be because the label rolls tangled and fed badly. Nobody had raised it — that was just how the station worked.

Modelled, printed and in service that week. It cost about a fiver.

Approach

How this usually goes

Nobody should buy a build from someone they've just met. So it starts with a couple of days watching how the work actually runs, and comes back as a written specification you keep either way.

Working with me

  • A paid diagnostic before any pitch
  • Fixed price off a written spec — the number can’t move
  • Same person scoping, building and supporting it
  • Support terms written down before you sign

The usual agency version

  • A discovery call, then a generic proposal
  • An estimate range that grows once work starts
  • Junior developers after the partner who pitched you
  • “Ongoing support” left undefined until you need it
FAQ

Before you get in touch

What does “custom AI” actually mean here?

Systems that do a piece of your unattended work without anyone watching them — drafting the replies, reading a week of customer feedback and boiling it down, deciding when the lights come on. Built around how your business actually runs, not a chatbot bolted onto your website.

How much does it cost?

It starts with a paid diagnostic: a couple of days watching how the work really runs, which comes back as a written specification you keep either way. If there’s something worth building, it’s a fixed price off that document with the exclusions written down, so the number can’t move once we start.

How quickly can you start?

Usually within the week. The trading desk went from first message to signed-off build in eleven days, specification included — that’s closer to typical than exceptional.

Do you only take on full builds?

No. Some of the work on this site is one automation, one integration, one piece of hardware. If the diagnostic finds a five-minute problem, I’ll tell you that instead of selling you a project.

Who actually does the work?

I do. There is no team to hand you off to after the first conversation, and the person who scopes the build is the person who supports it afterwards. I’m one person, and pretending otherwise would catch up with both of us.
