AI consultancy for Stroud and Gloucestershire

Find the hours AI can give back to your business.

We sit down with you, find the jobs your team repeats every week and show you exactly what AI can take off your plate. Then we build it with you, or teach you to build it yourself.

Sound familiar?

Most owners know AI could help. Very few know where to start.

You don't need another webinar or a list of 500 tools. You need someone to look at how your business actually runs and point at the three things worth changing first.

“I tried ChatGPT and got generic waffle.”

The tools are only as good as what you give them. We set them up with your knowledge, your tone and your way of doing things.

“Nobody here has time to experiment.”

We do the testing for you and only bring you the ideas that save real time in your business.

“I'm not sure what's safe to hand over.”

We keep your data in your own accounts and a person approves anything that matters before it goes out.

What we do

Three ways to work with us

Start with an audit, then choose how hands on you want to be. Plain English throughout and no long contracts.

Start here

AI Opportunity Audit

A half day in your business, then a ranked plan showing what to automate first and what each change is worth. The fee comes off your first build if you go ahead within 60 days.

From £1,250

Done with you builds

We set up the automations in the tools you already use, train your team and stay on hand while it beds in. Every build comes with a written guide.

How it works

Spot it. Build it. Own it.

Step 1

Spot the gaps

A free 30 minute AI diagnostic call, then a proper look at how your week actually runs. We find the repetitive work and put a number on it.

Step 2

Build what pays back first

We start with the quickest win so you see results within weeks, then work down the list at a pace that suits you.

Step 3

Hand you the keys

Every project ends with your team trained, a written guide for each workflow and everything running in your own accounts.

Proof, not promises

We built it for our own business first.

Everything we offer already runs day to day inside Fearless Business, Robin's coaching company. These are six of the systems Teyte built and runs.

Content

A daily content engine for seven websites

Keyword research, briefs, drafts and refreshes produced every morning and queued for a person to approve.

Customer service

Rob Bot, Robin's AI assistant

Answers coaching clients' questions in Robin's voice, drawing on his books, frameworks and call recordings.

Admin

Inbox to invoice

Orders spotted in Outlook, checked against house rules, set up as drafts and replied to with payment details.

Marketing

Lead magnets on demand

A chapter of a book turned into a finished, on brand guide ready to offer in exchange for an email, in an afternoon.

Content

One recording, three assets

Podcast and video appearances turned into long form blog posts and podcast episodes that keep working.

Operations

Website upkeep on autopilot

Audit reports read, fixes proposed in one batch for approval, then applied and republished.

The founders

Local people with real experience.

One of us has spent years helping owners grow. The other builds the AI systems that run a business every day. You get the strategy and the doing in one team.

Questions

Good questions we hear a lot.

Anything else, ask us on your free diagnostic call.

No. Most of our clients don't think of themselves as techy at all. We explain everything in plain English and set things up so they're simple to use day to day.

Mostly owner run businesses with somewhere between 2 and 50 people: trades, professional services, shops, hospitality, agencies and practices. If your team spends hours a week on repetitive work, we can help.

We build inside your own accounts wherever we can, use business plans that don't train on your data, and keep a person in charge of anything customer facing. We'll talk you through exactly where your information goes before we build anything.

That isn't what we're here to do. The aim is to take the dull, repetitive work off your team so they can spend more time with customers and on the work they're good at.

Yes. We love working face to face around Stroud, Gloucester, Cheltenham and the Cotswolds, and we run audits and builds over video for businesses anywhere in the UK.
