Why every agent I build asks before it acts
Approval steps cost a few seconds each. Here is what they buy you, and where I would drop them.
I build custom tools, set up AI automation that checks with you before it acts, and run the servers underneath. You deal with the person writing the code, from first call to handover.
Three kinds of work, often combined. Each is priced as a fixed quote after a free first conversation.
Booking systems, quoting tools, customer portals and internal dashboards that fit how your business already works, instead of bending to a subscription product.
Usually £4,000 to £18,000
Agents that read emails, forms and documents, do the routine part of the job and hand you the decision. Built to be checked, logged and switched off easily.
Usually £1,500 to £7,500
Servers, backups, deployments and monitoring, on your own hardware or a UK host. Fewer monthly subscriptions, and data that stays where you can see it.
From £750, or £180 a month
The same four steps whether the job is a two-week automation or a four-month build. You always know what stage we are at and what it will cost.
A call or a visit. You show me how the job is done today; I ask a lot of questions and sketch the process with you.
What I will build, what I will not, how long it takes and what it costs. If it is not worth automating, I will say so.
You get something usable early and see progress every week. Changes of direction are discussed, not billed by surprise.
Documentation in plain English, the source code and the passwords are yours. Support afterwards is optional, monthly and cancellable.

Per-task pricing adds up quickly. A look at when running your own workflow engine is worth the upkeep.
Why I start nearly every project with one boring database, and what would make me add another.
Describe it in a few sentences. I will reply within two working days, and say honestly whether software would help.
