How it works
An extra pair of hands that knows your business.
What the AI Workspace adds, what you could ask it, and how we get you started.
What the upgrade adds
Everything you have now, plus a team member who never forgets.
The AI Workspace slots in alongside your website and software. Nothing gets replaced. Your team just gets a much better way to use what you already have.
- 01
A workspace for every person
Each person on your team gets their own AI agent in the browser. It starts from your business’s know-how: price lists, procedures, and the way you talk to customers.
- 02
Connected to your tools, carefully
We build the connections to your job system, spreadsheets and inbox. Each one can be read-only, limited to certain records, or need your OK before anything leaves the building.
- 03
Little apps, made by asking
Ask for a quote builder, a roster board or a weekly report and it builds a working app with its own data. Keep it to yourself, or share it with the team like a document.
- 04
Set up and looked after by us
We put it in your own account, set spending limits, train your team, and keep it up to date. You deal with a local team, not a help-desk ticket.
What you could ask it
The admin you do every week, handed over.
You ask in plain English, the same way you’d ask a capable new staff member. Here’s what that looks like across a few local industries.
Tradies
“Turn yesterday’s job notes into invoices, and draft a polite nudge for anything 30 days overdue.”
Drafts wait for your OK before anything goes to a customer.
Orchards & vineyards
“Pull this week’s spray diary into an audit summary, and flag anything close to its withholding period.”
The summary stays linked to the live diary, so it’s never out of date.
Cafés & hospitality
“Build next week’s roster around leave and bookings, and check nobody goes over their hours.”
It becomes a roster app your managers can open and tweak.
Tourism
“Draft replies to this morning’s booking enquiries in our usual voice, with live availability.”
You read, tweak and send. It learns your tone from your past replies.
Office & admin
“Every Monday at 7am, build the weekly numbers report and put it in the team folder.”
It runs as a set workflow, with AI used only where judgement is needed.
Operations
“Watch the meter readings and tell me when a site looks unusual, before the customer notices.”
It runs on a schedule and alerts you, with the readings behind it.
How it works
Start small. Grow when it’s earning its keep.
No big-bang IT project. We start with one job that eats your week, prove it, and build out from there.
- 01
A free chat
We look at the tools you use and the admin that eats your week, then pick one job to start with.
- 02
A small pilot
We set up your workspace in your own account and connect one or two tools, with the rules you choose.
- 03
A team session
A hands-on, plain-English workshop for your team, built around your real work rather than a demo.
- 04
Grow it, looked after
We add connections as you need them, keep an eye on spending, and keep everything up to date.
Straight talk
Is it right for you yet?
A good fit if…
- A team of three or more who share jobs, customers or paperwork
- The same admin comes round every week: quotes, rosters, reports, replies
- Your information lives in a handful of tools you’d like to talk to each other
Maybe wait if…
- You work alone and your setup is simple. A good website and chat assistant may be all you need
- You need a fully managed, click-to-install product. That version is still on the way
Why we start small. The technology is new. Its makers’ own staff have used it every day since May 2026, and it was released as open source in August. That’s why every workspace starts as a small pilot on one real job.
Book a free chat
Let’s find the first job to hand over.
No pressure, no jargon. Ask us anything in the chat: what it would cost, whether it fits your tools, or where we’d start. Then book a time to talk it through properly.
