AI that actually does something useful for your business

Everyone's talking about AI. Nobody's explaining what it actually does for a business your size. We cut through the noise, show you the tools that matter, set them up properly, and train your team to use them — starting with the tasks that waste the most time.

AI Made Simple

Practical AI for Perth small businesses

Not science fiction. Real tools that save real time on the tasks your team already does every day.

AI Readiness Assessment

We look at how your business works today and identify the three to five places where AI will genuinely save time and money. Not theoretical — specific tasks your team does every day that AI can handle faster.

Copilot Quick Start

We set up Microsoft 365 Copilot for your team, configure it properly, and run a hands-on session showing everyone how to use it. Drafting emails, summarising documents, building presentations, analysing data — in their actual tools, with their actual data.

AI Quick Wins

Three to five automations that use AI to do things your team currently does by hand — pulling data from emails, drafting responses, creating summaries, extracting information from documents. Quick to deploy, immediately valuable.

AI Training Workshop

A half-day hands-on workshop for your team covering prompt writing, Copilot features, ChatGPT for business use, and practical exercises using your real work scenarios. Your team leaves confident, not confused.

Automation in action

Tasks your team does manually that we can automate

These are the automations our clients love the most. Each one saves hours per week.

Invoice arrives by email → auto-routed to the right person for approval → logged in your accounting software

New employee form submitted → email account created, Teams access granted, equipment request sent, welcome email delivered

Quote accepted → invoice auto-generated, CRM updated, project folder created

Job completed → satisfaction survey sent automatically, results tracked in a dashboard

Friday afternoon → timesheet reminders sent, manager approvals queued, payroll export ready
