AI agentsthat take overyour busywork
We build custom software and AI agentsthat plug into the tools you already run, take the repetitive work off your team, and go live in about three weeks. Properly engineered, not a chatbot in a wrapper.
Works where you work
We build into the tools you already run: Gmail, Slack, HubSpot, Notion, Stripe, and whatever else the business depends on. Nothing new for your team to learn.
Agents, not chatbots
Each agent has one job, remembers what it has already done, and uses your systems to finish the work. You check the results, not every step.
Live in three weeks
About three weeks from the first call to something running in your tools. It starts supervised, then earns more freedom as it proves itself on real work.
Tasks we automate

We build, launch carefully, and hand over an agent that works in your existing tools. No new hires. No disruption. No long rollout.
AI agents that work for you
Custom agents, one job each
We build one agent per task: email sorting, lead outreach, data entry, research. One agent, one job, fully responsible. Start with one, add more as needed.
See the agents
Connects to your tools
Your agent plugs into Gmail, Slack, HubSpot, Notion, Stripe, and your own systems. Data moves automatically. Nobody re-enters anything.
See integrations
Workflow audit
We watch how your team actually works, every email and spreadsheet and handoff, then show you which tasks to automate first, with time savings estimated before you commit.

Real AI, not demos
Document reading, smart drafting, classification, and decision-making built for your workflows. Every action is logged. No black boxes.

Ongoing support
After launch, we improve your agent every week, track time saved, and expand what it handles. Keep us on retainer, or take the code and run it yourself.
How support worksHow we work
From first call to live agent
Book a call
A 30 minute chat, no sales deck. We identify your top three time-wasting tasks and tell you which one we'd build first.
Discovery
We study your daily work, the emails and spreadsheets and meetings, and map the exact task your agent will handle. You approve a written plan before we start building.
Build and test
We create your agent: tools, memory, decision rules, and connections to your systems. You see a working version within the first week.
Launch carefully
The agent starts by doing the work while you approve every action. As it proves itself, we give it more freedom. Usually fully working in about three weeks.
Improve over time
Every correction makes the agent smarter. We tune it weekly, measure hours saved, and expand its responsibilities. One clear monthly fee, one engineer who knows your systems.
Why Hours
We are engineers who build the boring, reliable systems that hold a business together, and the agents that sit on top of them. One task, one specialist, fully accountable, live in weeks.
Most agencies take months to show you anything. You get a working prototype in the first week and a live system in about three weeks, because a project that drags is a project that quietly dies.
- Working prototype in the first week
- Live in your tools in about three weeks
- One point of contact on each side
No locked platform and no rented black box. You get the full source code, a record of every action the system takes, and the accounts it runs on. Keep us on retainer or take it in house.
- You own 100% of the code
- A record of every decision, by default
- We never use your data for training
The AI is the part people talk about. The part that makes it work is data modelling, integrations, error handling and the unglamorous plumbing underneath. We are good at that, which is why our agents survive contact with a real business.
- Built for one job, not a general purpose toy
- Starts supervised until it earns trust
- Runs on the tools you already pay for
A small team,big results
Small on purpose
A small team of engineers and operators, based in London and remote. Every project gets one dedicated person on your side and one on ours. No account managers, no handoffs, no juniors.
Picked by choice
We take on projects we can stand behind. This keeps our team focused, quality high, and every agent truly accountable for results.

Common questionsbeforeyou start
No. We build custom AI agents for your specific workflow. Each agent is built from scratch for your tools and processes. Once complete, you own it. We can maintain it, or you can run it independently.
Most AI tools wait for you to ask questions. Our agents take action on their own: reading emails, updating systems, making decisions, and completing tasks without constant prompting.
We choose the best model for each task, and can switch providers as needed. Your agent stays flexible and isn't locked to one AI company.
Everything runs in your environment or in secure UK/EU servers. We sign data protection agreements, support single sign-on, limit each agent's access, and log every action. We never use your data for training.
A typical first project starts at £14,000, covering planning, building, and one month of fine-tuning. After that, most clients pay £1,200–£2,500 per month for ongoing support and improvements.
It will at first. During the first month, the agent does the work but you approve every action. Each correction helps it learn. We only give it independence once it's performing reliably.
About three weeks from our first call. You see a working version in seven days, then it runs in your tools with oversight until it's ready to work on its own.
