Founder
“Most mid-market businesses have never been offered enterprise-grade AI engineering without enterprise-grade cost and complexity. That’s the gap I built Agency AI to close.”

Max spent a decade in enterprise automation and digital transformation at some of the world’s largest financial institutions, including Morgan Stanley, Aberdeen Standard and Barclays, building AI and automation systems that saved millions annually. That same rigour now goes into every system Agency AI ships.

What we build, and what it saves.

The production systems running inside our clients' businesses today, and the difference each one makes.

01
M Squared, commercial landscape and groundworks contractor

The AI-powered operating system built around how the business works

Variations that cross two teams, come back to the person who raised them and change route depending on value. One AI-powered system, eight modules, owned by the business.

AI-powered hiring, from job board email to booked interview

AI reads every CV as it lands, files it against the candidate and scores it. Candidates get email and SMS, then book their own interview slot.

AI document processing for a construction customer

Procurement paperwork, automated in minutes

A construction customer received hundreds of delivery notes, invoices and credit notes on every project, in every format a supplier can produce, and nobody could say what a job had actually cost until someone read them all and added them up. We built an AI agent that takes the whole batch in one upload, reads each document, checks it against the company’s own records and totals it. The answer now takes minutes instead of an afternoon.

Customer service team answering enquiries

Customer enquiries answered in seconds

At one of the UK’s largest salt manufacturers, answering a single customer question meant logging into the stock system, the order history and more than twenty separate delivery portals. We built an AI agent that does that checking itself and writes the reply, ready for the team to approve and send. Eight minutes of work per enquiry became ten seconds.

Warehouse pallets at a UK salt manufacturer

Order processing that knows the business

Sixty thousand orders a year arrived at the same manufacturer by email, as PDFs, spreadsheets and photographs of printouts, and every one had to be checked and corrected by a person before it could be entered. We built an AI agent that reads each order, applies the rules the business actually works to, and books it in complete. Three to four minutes an order became under ten seconds.

04Our approach

Small first step. Compounding returns.

No big-bang transformation. One process proves the value, then each phase builds on the data and infrastructure of the last.

1

Discover

We look at how work actually moves through your business and pick the process where AI saves the most.

2

Prove

One process, built to production standard and measured against the work it replaced.

3

Build out

Once it pays, the next processes follow, reusing the data and infrastructure already in place.

4

Run

We run what we build: monitored, maintained and improved while it is in daily use.

05Straight answers

What customers ask us first.

How much does an AI consultancy cost?

Every engagement begins with a discovery exercise that produces a costed roadmap, so you see the price of each phase before committing to anything. First projects are deliberately small: one process, built to production standard, proving its return before anything expands. You will never be asked to fund a transformation on faith.

How long does it take to implement AI in a business?

The first working system typically lands in weeks, not quarters. We start with the process where the return is clearest, build it to production standard, and expand from there, so value arrives early and each phase funds confidence in the next.

Will AI work with our existing ERP and business systems?

Yes, and that is the point of us. We build alongside the systems you already run, from Microsoft Dynamics 365 (Business Central) to the platforms behind your sales, finance and operations, and everything we build feeds back into them. Nothing gets ripped out or replaced.

Is our company data safe?

Your data stays in your environment, in your cloud tenancy, under your access controls. We agree the security model in writing before any work begins, and our engineers work to it throughout. Nothing is shared, pooled, or used to train anything outside your business.

Will AI replace our staff?

No. Everything we build is designed around your people's knowledge and judgement, built to assist them and never to replace them. What our clients report is teams freed from repetitive work: answering faster, processing more, and spending their time where experience actually matters.
