Automation Build

Workflow automations built, tested, and handed over.

From £1,200 per workflow · 1–2 weeks per workflow · Fixed scope

Who it's for

  • Teams that know what they want automated but don't have someone to build it
  • Founders who've tried Zapier and ended up with thirty broken zaps
  • Agencies losing margin to manual reporting, client onboarding, or status updates
  • Product teams who want AI in the loop without building an AI product

Who it's not for

  • One-off scripts you could write in an afternoon
  • Mission-critical infrastructure that needs a dedicated engineering team
  • Anyone wanting 'AI agents that run my business' with no human in the loop

What you get

  • Scoping. What triggers it, what it does, where it fails, who owns it.
  • Build. Implemented in n8n, Make, Power Automate, Zapier, or custom code — whichever fits the job.
  • Testing. Edge cases, error handling, retry logic, and failure notifications.
  • Documentation. A short operating doc so you can fix it, extend it, or hand it to someone else later.
  • Handover. Walk-through call and 30 days of bug-fix support after launch.

Named products

Product What it does Setup Monthly
Meeting-to-Tasks Bot Meeting transcripts → tasks in Linear / Notion + Slack summary £1,500 £400
Lead Capture Autopilot Form submissions → enriched, classified, drafted reply, follow-up scheduled £1,500 £400
Founder Weekly Brief Auto-generated weekly report across tasks, calendar, GitHub, and decisions £1,800 £500
Support Triage Assistant Support emails categorised, routed, and pre-drafted £2,000 £500

Monthly maintenance covers failure monitoring, prompt updates, integration fixes, and minor scope tweaks. Optional after the first month. Install three or more together and they become an AI Operations Setup.

Typical outcomes

  • The automation works on day one and is still working in six months
  • You own it — not a fragile no-code chain nobody understands
  • Clear documentation so the next person can extend or fix it
  • 30 days of support after launch so edge cases get caught

How it works

  1. 1

    Day 1 — Scoping call

    Walk through the workflow. Identify the triggers, the steps, the edge cases, the failure modes. Confirm tier and price.

  2. 2

    Days 2–7 — Build

    Built in your account, on your infrastructure, or on a sandbox you can review.

  3. 3

    Days 7–10 — Test and document

    Run real data through it. Write the operating doc.

  4. 4

    Day 10 — Handover

    Walk-through call, credentials transferred, 30 days of bug-fix support starts.
