Grow your business without hiring more people for admin.
AI automation for businesses turning over £1M+ with 10 to 100 staff. A 60 minute audit shows where your team's hours go. Then I build the fix and hand it over.
What manual work costs you
Move the sliders to match your team.
One consultant, hands on every build.
I'm Anas Riad, an AI automation consultant based in Cardiff. No account managers and no offshore delivery team. You talk to the person who scopes the audit and writes the code.
Before this, I spent four years as a data scientist and ML engineer, including leading data analytics at a growth consultancy, shipping production systems that client teams relied on every day. That's why my builds come with cost limits, error handling and a proper handover, not a demo that breaks in month two.
Five jobs your team shouldn't still be doing by hand.
Almost every business has at least two of these. None need new software. They need the tools you already pay for to work together.
Inbox and enquiries
Sales, support, bookings
Someone reads every email, works out what it's about, forwards it and types the same replies again.
Enquiries are sorted, routed to the right person and answered with a draft that's ready to check and send.
Re-keying data
CRM, spreadsheets, portals
The same customer or order is typed into two or three systems, and mistakes surface weeks later.
Enter it once. The build copies it everywhere else and flags anything that doesn't match.
Documents
Invoices, contracts, forms, PDFs
Figures and names are read off documents and typed into a spreadsheet or accounting tool line by line.
Key fields are pulled out automatically and checked, with anything unclear sent to a person to confirm.
Weekly reporting
KPIs, client updates, dashboards
Every Monday someone exports data from several tools and rebuilds the same spreadsheet.
The report builds itself on schedule and lands in your inbox or Slack before the week starts.
Follow-ups
Reviews, reminders, chasing
Review requests, payment reminders and check-ins get sent when someone remembers, which is often never.
Follow-ups go out at the right time, personalised, and stop as soon as the customer replies.

Recent builds.
Two recent projects, with the numbers the clients reported.
Candidate data moved without re-typing
Candidate details were copied by hand from a standard Google Doc into each nursing home's own format before being sent.
- Per candidate
- 8 hours back each month for every consultant
Review requests GDPR compliant
A personalised review request system that runs entirely inside the practice's own Google account and tracks replies to avoid repeat follow-ups.
- No data leaves their Google account
- Draft only, so the founder approves every email
What clients say.
Anas helped us fix a painful manual process of moving candidate data from a standard Google Doc to other nursing homes in the UK. What used to take us 30 minutes per candidate now takes 2 minutes. Every consultant on the team got 8 hours back every month to focus on real work.
Everything stays securely within our own Google account, and the system only creates drafts, so I review every email before it's sent. He was thoughtful about data protection, tested everything thoroughly, and provided excellent documentation. I'd absolutely hire him again.
His insights made hiring quality measurable and visible. He stands out for his proactivity, reliability and clear communication, with regular Loom updates for the team.
Anas was great to work with. He has strong attention to detail and a great entrepreneurial spirit.

Written report in 48 hours
Your top 5 opportunities ranked by hours saved a month, a fixed quote for the first build, and the risks worth knowing about.
Built to keep running after I leave.
Most automations break quietly within a few months. These are engineered not to.
You own it
Custom code in your accounts, not a no-code canvas you rent. You can read it and move it.
A person approves what matters
Anything customer-facing can run as draft only, so nothing goes out that your team hasn't seen.
Costs can't run away
Spending limits, error handling and fallbacks on every system, so a bad day doesn't become a big bill.
Proper handover
A recorded walkthrough and documentation so your team can run and adjust it without me.
RetainerOptional
Want continuous improvements and tweaks? A monthly retainer keeps it maintained and adds something new each month.
Is this right for your business?
A good fit if you
- Turn over £1M+ a year
- Have 10 to 100 staff and at least one process done the same way every week
- Already use tools like Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, a CRM or Notion
- Can name the job your team complains about most
- Want something built around how you work, not another subscription
Not a fit if you
- Want AI for its own sake, without a process in mind
- Change how the work is done every few weeks
- Have nobody who will own the system once it is live
Start with a 20 minute call.
Nothing is quoted until we have both seen the work up close. Here is how it goes from a first conversation to a system your team runs without me.
Intro call
A short conversation to see whether automation is worth it for your business, and whether I'm the right person to build it. This is not the audit.
- How your team works today, and which process costs the most hours
- Whether automation is the right answer, or whether something simpler is
- What the audit would look for, and roughly what a build would take
Come with one process in mind that your team does the same way every week.

AI audit

Build
Fixed priceQuoted after the audit, so you know the cost and the hours saved before you agree. One process automated, tested on your real data, and handed over with a recorded walkthrough.

RetainerOptional
MonthlyFor continuous improvements and tweaks. Monitoring, fixes when a tool changes, and one new improvement each month.
2 people spending 5 hours a week each typing invoices into your accounting tool is 43 hours a month. At £25 an hour, that's £1,075 back every month from a one-off build.
Questions before you book.
Do I need to be technical?
No. You explain how the work gets done today. I handle the build and the handover is written for the people who'll use it, not for developers.
What tools do you work with?
Most of what small businesses already use: Gmail and Outlook, Google Sheets and Excel, CRMs, Notion, Slack, Stripe and Calendly. If a tool has an API or a reliable export, it can usually be connected.
What happens to our data?
Builds run inside your own accounts wherever possible, and anything customer-facing can be set to draft only so a person approves it first. Data handling is covered in the audit report before anything is built.
What if AI isn't the right answer?
Then the report says so. Sometimes the fix is a simpler automation, a template or a change in process. That answer is still worth having before you spend money on a build.
Do I need a retainer?
No. Every build is handed over with documentation so your team can run it without me. The retainer is optional, for businesses that want ongoing monitoring, fixes when a tool changes, and a new improvement each month.
Who owns the build?
You do. The code and the accounts it runs in are yours, and the documentation means another developer could pick it up.
Start with a free 20 minute call.
We'll look at how your team works and whether automation is worth it. If there's a fit, the next step is the audit. If there isn't, I'll tell you.
