Agent Strategy & Build

Duration
4–8 weeks
Investment
From £5k

Most AI projects look great in a demo and never actually get used. Businesses spend weeks on something that works in ideal conditions, then it hits real data and real people and quietly falls apart.

BUILD+SHIP itself runs on AI tools I built and maintain. They find clients, write content, handle the admin. I've watched them break and fixed them. I know what fails because I've been through it.

This engagement designs and builds something that actually runs in your business. Not a demo. Not a trial. Something your team uses every week, documented properly, and handed over so you can look after it yourself.

What's included

01
Scoping and design

Before we build anything, we nail down exactly what it needs to do, what good output looks like, where it might go wrong, and how we'll know if it's working. This is the part most people skip and then regret.

02
Build and connection

We build the tool and connect it to your existing systems and data. No theoretical implementations. Everything is built to actually run in your business.

03
Testing with real data

Tested against real inputs from your business, not clean demo data. The awkward edge cases get handled before it goes live, not after.

04
Handover and documentation

Proper documentation your team can use. What it does, how it works, what to do when something goes wrong. You're not dependent on us once we've handed it over.

Who this is for

You know what you want to automate but don't have the capability in-house to build it

You've tried something that half-works and needs to be done properly

You're wasting hours every week on a task that AI could handle

You need something that will still be running reliably in six months

You want it built right first time, not figured out as you go

Outcome

Working AI tools your team relies on week to week.

Built properly, documented, handed over. You own it. The time it saves should be obvious within the first week of running.
