Repetitive work, automated
For small businesses where hours go into sorting requests, retyping data and preparing quotes every week. We automate that work with a fixed scope, so you get that time back for your customers. You always keep the final say.

You talk directly to the maker, Sem Lont. The website check on this site is itself such an automation.
Built before by ModernCrafts
Sound familiar?
Tasks that come back every week and need little thought cost you time you'd rather spend on customers or your craft.
- Requests pile up
Everything arrives via form and email. You read it, retype it and work out who should handle it.
- The same typing, again and again
Retyping data from PDFs, orders or sign-ups, and keeping two places up to date because programs don't talk to each other.
- Quotes take your evenings
Every quote or confirmation is written from loose details, often after the working day is done.
- Things slip through
When it's busy, a request gets left behind or a typo reaches the customer.
What does doing nothing cost? No invoice, but the same hours every week, and customers who wait longer for a reply than they need to.
What you get from us
We take over the tasks that need no thought. Where judgement is needed, the automation makes a suggestion and a person decides.
- Your time is the most expensive
Every hour of retyping or sorting is an hour not spent on customers or your craft. An automation gives those hours back, week after week.
- Fewer errors, fewer slips
An automation doesn't mistype and is less likely to let a request slip. Doubtful cases are flagged instead of missed.
- Faster replies for your customer
A request that arrives sorted and summarised gets answered sooner. Customers notice.
- You keep the final say
The automation prepares drafts and suggestions. Anything that goes to customers or costs money is approved by you or your team.
Examples
| Now | After | |
|---|---|---|
| Requests via form and email | You read everything, retype it and work out who should handle it. | Each request arrives sorted, with a short summary, ready to pick up. |
| Quotes and confirmations | Written from scratch every time from loose details. | A draft is ready based on the request; you check and send. |
| Data from PDFs and forms | Retyping from invoices, orders or sign-ups. | Read and placed in your system; doubtful cases are flagged. |
| Standard customer questions | The same answers, week after week. | A draft reply in your own words; you approve with one click. |
| Two programs that don't talk | Keeping data up to date in two places by hand. | A change in one place shows up in the other automatically. |
After delivery the automation runs, tested with your real data, and you get a walkthrough and a short guide. You know what happens and why.

AI services used are passed on at cost, estimated up front. If automating doesn't make sense, we say so.

|---|---|---|---|
| Process check | Which task gains most from automation? | On quote | Timing agreed in the quote |
| One automation | One task that comes back every week. | On quote | Timing agreed in the quote |

Not sure which package fits? We'll work it out together.
How we limit your risk
You know up front what you get and what it costs, and you pay half only once it's done.
- Fixed price
You pay what the proposal says. Extra work only happens with your approval.
- The rest only on delivery
Half on approval, the second half only once the work is delivered.
- Adjusted until it's right
If something doesn't match what we agreed together, we adjust it at no extra cost.
- Honest advice up front
If a package isn't needed, we say so, even if that means less work for us.

Frequently asked questions
Isn't AI unreliable?
AI can make mistakes, and we plan for that. By default the automation prepares a draft or suggestion and a person decides. Doubtful cases are flagged rather than pushed through, and we test with your real data before anything goes live.
What if automating turns out not to pay off for me?
Then we say so. In the process check we work out which tasks gain most and what the risks are. If no task is worth it, you hear that, even if it means less work for us.
Isn't my business too small to automate?
Usually not. In small businesses manual work costs the owner's own time. One automation that saves a few hours a week is often enough.
Does the AI make decisions on its own?
No, not unless agreed. By default the automation prepares a draft or suggestion and a person decides. Only simple, pre-agreed steps run on their own.
What happens to my data?
We agree up front which data is processed, where it is stored and for how long. Sensitive data stays inside your own systems as far as possible.
What if the automation stops working?
With ongoing care we monitor the automation and repair it when a linked system changes. Without care you get documentation so someone else can pick it up.
What does using AI cost per month?
It depends on volume. For many small businesses it's a few pounds to a few tens of pounds a month. You get an estimate up front.
