The Problem with Piecemeal AI

Most UK businesses have tried AI tools. Few have seen real results.

A chatbot here, a content generator there. You're managing multiple logins, copying data between systems, and worrying about what happens when something breaks. These fragmented solutions create more work, not less.

Meanwhile, 50% of UK businesses cite data security as their top barrier to AI adoption. Even when tools work, there's uncertainty about compliance, oversight, and what happens when AI makes mistakes.

Multiple AI subscriptions with overlapping features

Manual copying between systems that should talk to each other

No clear oversight of what AI is doing with your data

A Different Approach: Digital Employees

Instead of adding more AI tools, we deploy AI that works like a team member.

Defined Roles, Clear Outputs

Each Digital Employee has a specific job: qualifying leads, triaging emails, or generating reports. They integrate with your existing tools and deliver outputs through channels you already use — no new software to learn.

Human Oversight Where It Matters

For customer communications and important decisions, Digital Employees draft content but your team approves it. AI handles the repetitive work; humans handle the judgement calls.

Budget from Staffing, Not IT

Digital Employees cost a fraction of a hire — typically £1,500-5,000 one-off versus £25,000+ annual salary. The budget conversation moves from "another software subscription" to "a more efficient way to resource this work."

Each role handles specific tasks. Choose the ones that match your biggest time drains.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Digital Employees and our implementation approach.

What exactly is a Digital Employee?

A Digital Employee is an AI-powered workflow that handles specific business tasks — like qualifying leads, triaging emails, or generating reports. Unlike standalone AI tools, Digital Employees integrate with your existing systems and include human oversight for important decisions. Think of them as reliable team members with defined roles, not software you need to manage.

How quickly can we see results?

Most clients have their first Digital Employee live within 2 weeks. Because we focus on specific, well-defined tasks, you can measure time savings immediately — typically 5-15 hours per week for a single workflow. The Starter package includes clear success metrics so you know exactly what you're gaining.

What happens if something goes wrong with the automation?

Our Break-Fix Warranty covers you. If an automation breaks due to an API change or platform update, we fix it at no additional cost. You won't be left with an expensive broken system. For ongoing peace of mind, our optional Guardian retainer provides proactive monitoring and priority support.

Will my team need training to use this?

No. That's our Zero-Training Promise. Your team simply receives the outputs — emails, reports, alerts — through channels they already use. The Digital Employee works for them, not the other way around. We handle all the technical setup and provide simple documentation for any approval workflows.

How do you handle sensitive data and GDPR compliance?

We use UK/EU-hosted instances where possible and sanitise personal data before it reaches any AI model. For high-stakes tasks like customer communications, our Human-in-the-Loop approach means AI drafts content but your team approves it before anything is sent. Your customer data stays under your control.

Can you work with the AI tools we already have?

Yes. Many businesses have adopted AI tools piecemeal, creating silos and manual workarounds. We connect and coordinate your existing tools through a single orchestration layer, reducing complexity rather than adding another system to manage.

What if we want to change providers or bring this in-house later?

Everything we build is exportable. We use no-code platforms where you can see every step of every workflow — no proprietary code or black boxes. We document everything so another team (or you) can maintain it without us. Zero vendor lock-in is a core principle.

How is this different from hiring a developer to build automation?

Custom development typically takes months and costs tens of thousands of pounds, with ongoing maintenance requirements. Our approach uses proven no-code platforms, delivering results in weeks at a fraction of the cost. You get enterprise-grade automation without enterprise complexity or budget.
