Work should feel human.

Tell Tina what takes up your team’s week. She’ll ask a few questions, then show you how it could run.

Practical automation that gives your best people their time back. We take on the copying, chasing and checking between systems.

Ask Tina Start a free conversation

One practice, three kinds of help. Automate the routine, prepare the groundwork, and keep people at the centre of the decisions.

How we decide

Automate the routine

Updates, checks and hand-offs done quietly in the background, within limits you agree.

Customer request · late deliveryIllustrative

  • Acknowledgement sent to the customer
  • Order record checked against the request
  • Supplier asked for the missing update

Prepare the groundwork

The history gathered and the next step drafted, so people start informed instead of searching.

  • Friday delivery promised on the last callCRM

  • Can Friday still be met?
  • Would the customer accept a substitute?

Priya decides

What to promise, and whether to expedite.

Within her goodwill limit · no approval needed

The conversation is Priya’s. The groundwork isn’t.

Keep people at the centre

Relationships, judgement and decisions stay with your team. We take away the admin around them.

Based in Redditch, Worcestershire. We meet businesses in person across the county and in Birmingham and the West Midlands, and work remotely across the UK.

Don’t replace the system. Complete it. We connect AI, automation and the tools you already run, so the work between them happens in the background.

Trust and boundaries

The work between your systems

The copying, chasing and checking people do because nothing else could. The workflow carries it, and your people keep what needs them.

Everything in Labs
  • Teaching software when to act: a confidence scale running from 'a person decides' to 'automate'.

    Essay · 7 min read

    Teaching software when to act.

    Most business work doesn’t need AI to write anything. It needs a dependable answer to a small question, and an honest sense of how sure that answer is. Why models like Jev change what automation can safely do.

  • The Powerful Open Source: an agent at the centre of chat, CRM, knowledge and monitoring.

    Field notes · 9 min read

    The Powerful Open Source. A whole company’s software, with an agent at the centre.

    Open-source business software is now good enough to run most of a small company. Give an AI agent access to all of it and the separate tools start working as one. What we learned building it for about £38 a month.

Cost reduction has a floor. Ambition doesn’t. Picture a £100m business that gets a fifth of its week back.2

Read the thinking

You are here: £100m today. Revenue, as a thought experiment.

A thought experiment from the manifesto, not a forecast: no timescale or growth rate is implied, and recovering time does not by itself grow revenue. The released time is the same in every line. What changes is what it is for.

A clear price at every step. Start with one workflow, stop after any step, and nothing is built without a written scope.
