AI Automation & Secure AI Adoption
Turn the repetitive work draining your team into small, purpose-built tools you own - built AI-native and cheap, deployed into your own tenant.
A short discovery call - we map the workflows worth automating and the right tool to build. No obligation.
The problem
Your team loses hours a week to work a script should be doing - manual reporting, provisioning, reconciliation, alerting. Off-the-shelf tooling is either expensive or a poor fit. The answer is small, purpose-built automation you own outright - not another large platform licence. Building it used to cost more than the manual work it replaced; delivered AI-native, that maths has flipped.
What's Included
- Small, cost-efficient custom platforms and automations on Microsoft Azure (Azure Functions, Azure Container Apps) for monitoring, reporting, provisioning, and alerting
- AI agents and internal tooling built against the OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, and Microsoft Azure OpenAI APIs, with the model choice kept swappable
- Tooling deployed into your own tenant and yours to keep, delivered the same way our Products range is - not open-ended bespoke development
- The pattern documented so your team can extend it, not a black box
- Infrastructure-as-code by default (Terraform), built rapidly using AI-assisted development
- Pre-rollout AI governance - the usage policy and sanctioned-tool guardrails - handled by the AI Readiness Pack, so this service stays focused on building the tools
Outcomes
- Recurring manual effort removed from the team's week
- Lower tooling cost - lightweight internal tools shipped cheaply
- Tools you own outright, deployed in your own tenant
- A pattern your team can extend, not a black box
Who It's For
- IT and operations teams on Microsoft 365 losing recurring hours to manual reporting, provisioning, and alerting
- Teams that need a specific tool built - and want to own it, not rent another platform
- Organisations that have run the AI Readiness Pack and now want the automation the readiness work made safe
- Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Cloud Solution Providers (CSPs) automating repetitive work across many tenants
How to Start
Most engagements begin with the free audit and go no further until you have seen where you stand.
Purpose-Built Tools & Automation
from £6,000 / $7,700
A fixed-scope, productised tool that removes recurring manual work - the reporting, provisioning, or alerting a script should be doing - deployed into your own tenant and yours to keep, delivered the same way our Products range is rather than as open-ended bespoke development.
- Purpose-built automation on Microsoft Azure (Azure Functions, Azure Container Apps), defined as Terraform
- AI agents and internal tooling built against the OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, and Azure OpenAI APIs, with the model kept swappable
- The pattern documented so your team can extend it - not a black box
Support & Iteration Retainer
from £3,500 / $4,500
An optional retainer that keeps the tooling maintained and extends the automation pattern as new manual work surfaces.
- A fixed amount of expert time each month on maintenance and new automation
- Model and provider choices revisited as the market changes
- A forward plan reprioritised every month
Engagement Model
The lead engagement ships small, purpose-built automations you own outright - productised and self-hosted in your own tenant, the same way our Products range is, not open-ended bespoke development. Defined deliverables, a fixed price, and an optional support-and-iteration retainer - never day rates. Pre-rollout AI governance - the usage policy and sanctioned-tool guardrails a safe rollout needs first - lives in the AI Readiness Pack; this service is about building the tools.
Pricing: from £6,000 / $7,700 - larger engagements are tailored to scope.
We govern the AI we deliver with
This work is delivered AI-accelerated, so AI tooling reads configuration and log data from your estate along the way. It is fair to ask how that is governed - and the answer is published: which providers we use and on what commercial terms, what client data never reaches a model, that a named architect signs off every output, and that AI tooling holds no standing write access to client systems.

Most engagements start with a no-cost posture audit against the baselines that matter to you. If a fixed-fee roadmap is the right next step, we'll say so - and if it isn't, we'll say that too.
