[01] Why trade businesses pick custom

Business AI solutions. Built for trades.

AI receptionists are the obvious first step for trades. The next layer is the back-office AI: document processing for incoming RFQs and council tenders, sentiment analysis on job-completion surveys, auto-drafted follow-up emails for "ghost" leads, and weekly summary emails that pull data from your CRM/jobs/finance into a 3-paragraph "here is what happened" rather than a dashboard nobody opens.

We build practical back-office AI for trades that saves admin hours per week. Each tool runs £1,500–£4,000 standalone, or £6,000–£10,000 as a full back-office suite. Running cost averages £40–£120/month.

For a busy trade business, the time saved on quote follow-ups + RFQ processing alone usually covers the build cost in under 9 months.

[05] Questions

Business AI for trades FAQ.

ChatGPT is general-purpose, useful for individuals. Custom AI runs inside your real workflow — quote follow-ups go out automatically, RFQs get processed without anyone opening them, summaries arrive Monday morning whether anyone remembered or not.

Bring-your-own-keys means you set the cap directly with OpenAI/Anthropic. We design with usage budgets, alerts, and auto-fallback to cheaper models at limits.

We use providers with zero-data-retention APIs by default (Anthropic, OpenAI Enterprise). Customer data is never used for training. Audit logs included.

We pick the right model per use case — Claude for tone-sensitive work, GPT for general reasoning, Gemini for multimodal, sometimes a fine-tuned open-source model for cost. Bring your own keys, switch providers anytime.

Build is fixed-price (£2.5k–£8k typical). Running cost is usage-based: roughly £0.20–£0.60 per call depending on length and complexity. A small business with 200 calls/month pays £40–£120/month in usage.

We design for that — confidence thresholds, fallback to human, transcripts of every interaction, and the ability for you to correct the knowledge base in 30 seconds without a deploy.
