Not a slide deck. Here's what the job actually involves, in plain terms.
Not every task is worth automating. The first job is spotting which repetitive, time-draining tasks in your business would actually pay back the effort.
Sometimes the answer is a £20/month tool, not a custom build. A consultant who's honest will tell you when the cheap option is the right one.
Setting up the automation itself — connecting inboxes, forms, and systems, writing the logic, and testing it against real edge cases, not just the happy path.
Training your team to run and adjust it themselves, so you're not stuck paying someone indefinitely just to keep the lights on.
It isn't a month of slides telling you AI is important. It isn't being sold a licence stack you didn't ask for. And it isn't a stranger with no visibility into your actual workflow guessing at what might help. The value sits in the specific, unglamorous detail — where your team is stuck copying data between systems, chasing the same documents, or answering the same five questions every week.
Your team is doing the same manual task — data entry, chasing paperwork, replying to similar emails — every single week.
You've picked up a few AI tools independently and suspect they're not talking to each other or being used properly.
You know AI could help somewhere, but nobody in the business has the hours to work out where or how.
