Practical AI for Cumbrian businesses, not a science project
Most businesses we talk to in Cumbria are small teams doing too many jobs at once. The owner is on site in Ulverston when the phone rings, the holiday let enquiry arrives at 11pm, and the same five questions land in the inbox every morning. AI automation is useful when it takes one of those jobs away completely. These are the six things we build most often, all at fixed prices, and all supported from Millom.
x
AI website chatbot
A chatbot trained only on your own information, so it answers questions about your services, prices and opening hours without guessing. £300 setup and typically £100 a month, with the AI costs included.
Workflow automation
Website forms into your CRM, paid invoices into Xero, bookings into the calendar with reminders sent. Each workflow is quoted at a fixed price and usually delivered in one to three weeks.
Live chat you answer yourself
Not every business needs AI. Our manual live chat texts your phone when a visitor writes, and you reply from wherever you are. £100 setup and £25 a month.
Inbox triage
Enquiries to your main email address are sorted as they arrive. Urgent ones are flagged, routine ones get a helpful holding reply, and sales leads are passed on with the details already pulled out.

We use it ourselves before we sell it to you
Everything we offer is already working for real businesses here. Michelle is the AI receptionist for the South Cumbria Skills Exchange in Millom: she answers the main number around the clock, books course consultations and answers questions about grant eligibility. Miss Moneypenny answers our own phone line. The Block Moulds UK chatbot, also in Millom, answers product questions from customers across the country and texts the team when a person is needed.
Answers out of hours
Evenings, weekends and bank holidays, when most Cumbrian enquiries go to voicemail.
Knows your business
Trained on your services and prices, which you can update yourself.
Hands over to a person
Urgent calls and tricky questions go straight to you.
Why it matters here
Fewer missed calls in a county where signal drops out
Across much of Cumbria you can lose mobile signal between one village and the next. If you work on site in the fells, out on a farm or on a roof in Barrow, calls go unanswered. Most callers will not leave a voicemail; they simply ring the next business. An AI receptionist picks up every call, takes the details and texts you a summary, so you can ring back when you are in signal with the job already qualified.
Phone
An AI receptionist trained on your business
We write the assistant's script with you in plain English: your services, the areas you cover, your prices and the questions customers always ask. It gets a UK phone number, or answers your existing number when you are busy. Every call is logged and transcribed, and you can change what it says yourself, without waiting for a developer. Most set-ups go live within one to two weeks.
Website
A chatbot that sticks to the facts
Our chatbot only answers from information you give it, so it will not invent prices or promise delivery dates. When it reaches the limit of what it knows, it takes the visitor's details and texts you. It suits holiday lets in the Lakes, suppliers and training providers who get the same questions every day.
Admin
Workflows that do the copying and pasting for you
Much small-business admin is moving the same information between systems: a booking form into a spreadsheet, an order into the accounts, a new customer into the mailing list. We build these workflows in n8n, which you own, or as a small WordPress plugin. Each one runs the same way every time, keeps a log and warns you if something goes wrong.
Local support
On site across Cumbria, or remotely the same day
We are at Unit 13B, Devonshire Road Industrial Estate, Millom. We visit businesses in Millom, Barrow, Ulverston and the Furness peninsula, and further afield in Kendal, Whitehaven, Workington and Keswick when a job needs us in the room. Most changes and support are done remotely the same day.
Pricing
Fixed prices, and honest advice about whether you need it
Manual live chat is £100 to set up and £25 a month. The AI chatbot is £300 to set up and typically £100 a month. An AI receptionist has a one-off setup fee, quoted after a free call, and then usually costs £150 to £300 a month. Workflow automation is priced per workflow before we start. If a simpler, cheaper option will do the job, we will say so.
