Services / Applied AI & Intelligent Systems

Build when the problem calls for it.

AI assistants, workflow automation, systems integration and custom applications, designed, tested, deployed and supported by us. Implementation is one of several valid responses to a diagnosed problem; sometimes a clearer process or better training is the better answer, and we will say so.

How a build is scoped

Two routes to a build, depending on how clear the problem is.

Well-defined need

Straight to technical scoping.

When the inputs, owners, outputs and acceptance checks are clear, a free technical scoping call confirms the detail, and you receive a written proposal with the scope, exclusions, how we will check it works, and one fixed price. No obligation.

Complex or unclear need

Discovery first, then a build if it is justified.

When several teams, systems or unclear causes are involved, we may recommend a paid business analysis and process discovery engagement first. It is scoped and priced separately, and you keep its deliverables whether or not you build anything with us.

About business analysis →

Discovery and implementation are separate agreements. A build fee is fixed in its proposal and paid in stages: 40% on signing, 40% at the working demo, 20% on acceptance. You see it working before the final payment. Each proposal accounts for the integrations, system access, data handling, testing, hosting and any AI usage costs that apply.

What we build

One well-scoped system, shipped

We agree the workflow, inputs, exceptions and success measures before a build. Two common starting points:

Lead Capture & Follow-Up

Capture website enquiries in a structured record and route them for follow-up. Additional channels, including WhatsApp, are scoped separately.

Admin & Scheduling

Quotes, invoices, appointment reminders and follow-ups: keep routine work moving, with approval steps where people need to decide.

As you grow, further patterns open up:

Customer Service / FAQ Agent

Handles repetitive customer queries over chat or WhatsApp and escalates the rest to a human.

Knowledge Agent

An internal assistant grounded in your own processes, so staff can ask instead of interrupting the owner. For established teams.

Reporting & Insights

Weekly and monthly numbers pulled into a plain-English summary so the team can understand what changed.

Entry builds run R18,000 – R28,000$2,500 – $4,000 once-off, plus a monthly support retainer. See full pricing →

Lead Capture & Follow-Up, running now

This is a real Claude-powered agent, not a mockup: chat with it the way one of your own website visitors would, and watch the lead record build itself as you go.

Hi, thanks for stopping by. What can we help you with today?

Admin & Scheduling, running now

This one runs the other direction: it’s the internal tool your own staff would use, not something a customer sees. Try it as if you were the person booking a job or flagging an invoice to chase.

Hi, what do you need logged? A booking, an invoice or quote to chase, or a reminder?

Customer Service / FAQ, running now

Grounded in a fictional example business’s actual policies (a small gym) so you can see the important part: it answers only from what it’s actually been told, and hands off to a human instead of guessing when a question falls outside that. Ask it something it wouldn’t know to see that in action.

Ongoing support

What happens after a build

The retainer is your monthly support fee for a system we have built, not an additional charge on top of support. The initial term is six months, then month to month with one month’s written notice to end the partnership. Your scope determines the appropriate level. Business analysis engagements and training carry no retainer.
