Because I am your right hand man.

Most people think AI is a chatbot.

Auto-replies on WhatsApp. That's what everyone sells.

  • 01Answers your phone when you can't
  • 02Books people in and sends the reminders
  • 03Turns a voice note into a tidy quote
  • 04Chases unpaid invoices, politely
  • 05Asks happy customers for a review
  • 06Keeps your Google and Instagram fresh
  • 07Tells you when stock is running low
  • 08Edits your videos and posts them for you
  • 09Sends you one text at night: how today went
See it in your business

What kind of business do you run?

Then scroll. This is one day at Bella's Hair Studio, and everything happens on the owner's phone.

Catches the customer

The call you'd have missed.

You're mid-cut. The AI picks up, answers in your words, and books them in. You get one line on your phone.

Gets them through the door

Bookings, without the back and forth.

Customers message on WhatsApp or Instagram. It checks your diary, books them in and sends the reminder, so they actually turn up.

Wins the job

Talk. It writes the quote.

Record a voice note between jobs. A tidy, priced quote is ready to send while the customer is still keen.

Saves you time

It chases the money, politely.

A late invoice gets a friendly nudge, then another. You only hear about it when it's paid.

Brings them back

Happy customers, asked at the right time.

A thank-you text goes out after each visit with a link to leave a review. When they're due again, they get a nudge to rebook.

Saves you time

Your whole day, in one text.

No logging in to five apps. One message tells you what came in, what went out, and the two things that actually need you.

What I do for you

The AI is half of it. I handle how people find you, too.

One person for the systems behind your business and the content in front of it.

01

AI that catches every customer

Every call answered and every message replied to in seconds. Bookings with reminders so people turn up, quotes sent while they're still keen, and regulars nudged when they're due back. The admin gets done too.

02

Video editing

Send me the clips from your phone. You get back short videos that look professional and sound like you: Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts and ads.

Reels and TikTokYouTubePromo videosCaptions
03

Social media and marketing

A posting plan, the posts themselves, your Google profile kept fresh, and local ads aimed at the streets you serve, with every enquiry answered in seconds.

Ready-made systems

Four systems I've already built. I set them up in your business.

Each one works today on my own computer. Pick one, or have all four, and I connect it to the phone, calendar and files you already use.

Working demoGets you seen

Posts that sound like you

Send me 20 to 30 of your old posts. Each week it drafts new posts, a short video script and emails in your voice, with a score for how close they sound to you. Nothing goes out until you approve it.

Instagram and FacebookVideo scriptsEmail sequenceQuiz
Working demoCatches the customer

From enquiry to paid booking

Someone fills in your form. They get the payment link, then the forms to sign, then a time to book, with polite reminders at every step. You see who paid and which post brought them in.

Payment linkForms and waiverBookingReminders
Working demoSaves you time

Paperwork from a voice note

Talk for a minute at the end of the day. It fills in the form, puts your logo on it and files it under the right job, marked draft until you sign it. Anything you didn't say is flagged, never guessed.

Working demoSaves you time

Ask your own files

Type a question like "how long does that supplier take?" and get the answer with the file it came from. If it isn't in your files, it says so. Each morning it sends a short note of what's due today.

You stay in charge

Three questions every owner asks me about AI.

They're the same three that come up in every survey. Fair questions, with straight answers.

01

"Where do I even start?"

With a free walk-through. I look at how your business actually runs, then send you, in writing, the three things I'd hand to AI first and what each would save you. No jargon, no obligation.

39%of owners not using AI say they can't see a clear use for it.
02

"Will it feel robotic to my customers?"

It talks in your words and your prices, and it says it's an assistant. Anything personal, upset or tricky goes straight to you. You read how it replies before anything goes live.

56%of small firms worry AI means losing the human touch.
03

"Is my customers' data safe?"

Everything runs in accounts you own, on tools you already use. I follow UK GDPR, show you where every bit of data lives, and you can switch any of it off from your phone.

51%fear data theft. It's the right worry, so it's built in from day one.

Proof, not promises

What I've built so far.

It picks up, takes the order, checks the total, and the order lands on a screen in the kitchen with a text to the customer.

Who you'll be dealing with

I didn't come from a tech company. You don't need to understand tech either.

01 · GLASGOW

Studying Scots law, building on the side.

I'm based in Glasgow and studying Scots law at college. In October 2026 my contract law poster won the college competition. Law taught me to read the small print, which matters when your customers' data is involved.

02 · MY OWN BUSINESSES

I automated my own work before anyone else's.

An online shop, YouTube channels, and all the admin behind them. I learned what these tools can really do, and where they fall over, on my own time and money.

03 · REAL PRODUCTS

Then I built apps people use.

Budget apps sold on Etsy, a delivery app for local shops, an AI that takes phone orders, my own PDF editor, and videos from a six-minute documentary to promo films. Things that run every day, not slides.

04 · OCTOBER 2026

Then I started teaching it.

My first workshop, for a Glasgow women's charity, in three languages. The same week, a local school asked me to build their website and app.

05 · NOW

Now I set it up for businesses like yours.

Same tools, same care. You get me, in person, from the first chat to the day your staff are using it on their phones.

Because I am your right hand man.

Your numbers, not mine

What are missed customers and slow admin costing you?

Move the sliders to match your business. Most owners have never added it up.

Show me what I'd fix first

AI won't take all of this off you. The free walk-through is where we work out how much it realistically can.

How it works

You don't need to know anything about AI. That's my job.

01

Free walk-through

20 minutes at your place or on the phone. We go through your four numbers, and I send you the fix for the weakest one, in writing.

Free
02

One fixed price

One price for the whole build before any work starts. We also write down today's numbers, so we can both see what changed.

Fixed price
03

I build it, you approve it

On the WhatsApp, Gmail and Instagram you already use. I test it again and again, then you try it yourself before it goes live.

Your OK first
04

I train you on your phone

A walk-through for you and your staff. It all sits in your accounts and runs without me. Monthly care is optional: I watch the numbers and fix the next weak spot.

Stop any time
What the walk-through looks at

Four numbers show where a salon is losing customers.

  1. 1 · They find youHow many new people find you each week, on Instagram, Google or walking past?
  2. 2 · They get in touchHow many of them message or ring to ask?
  3. 3 · They book or buyHow many book and actually turn up?
  4. 4 · They come backHow many come back within two months?

Try it with your own numbers

Use the same stretch of time for all four, a month is easiest. A rough count is fine. Nothing is sent and I don't need your email to show you.

The weakest of the four is where your money leaks, so that's where I start. Speeding up anything else first changes very little. Don't know one of the numbers? Then step one is counting it, so we can both see the difference later.

Questions people ask

I already use ChatGPT. Isn't that enough?

ChatGPT is great when you sit down and ask it something. What I set up works without you: it answers customers at midnight, sends the reminder, chases the invoice and posts the update while you're busy doing the actual work.

Do I need new apps or a new phone?

No. It runs on the phone you already have and the apps you already use, like WhatsApp, Gmail and Instagram. Anything new, I set up and show you in person.

I'm not great with technology. Is this for me?

Yes. Most owners I talk to say exactly that. I do the setup, you keep using your phone like you already do, and I show you anything new in person.

Do you do videos and social media too?

Yes. Send me the clips from your phone and I edit them into Reels, TikToks, Shorts or ads. I can also run your posting, your Google profile and local ads, so the people your AI is answering keep coming in.

Which areas do you cover?

Glasgow, Edinburgh, North and South Lanarkshire, and the towns around them, like East Kilbride, Hamilton, Motherwell, Airdrie and Cumbernauld. I come to you for the walk-through and the training. Further out, we can do it on a video call.

What does it cost?

It depends on what you need, so you get one fixed price after the free walk-through. Smaller jobs, like a Google profile refresh or auto-replies, are a one-off fee. Ongoing help is a simple monthly amount you can stop any time.

Will I be stuck needing you?

No. Everything I build lives in your own accounts and keeps running if you stop paying me. You'd only pay the tools' own monthly fees, and I show you those before we start.

What if the AI gets something wrong?

I set clear limits on what it can say and do. Anything it isn't sure about comes to you. And I stay on call to adjust it.

Is my customers' data safe?

I build on established tools, keep data in accounts you own, and follow UK GDPR. I'll explain exactly where everything is stored before anything is switched on.

Free walk-through

Tell me how your business runs. I'll tell you what I'd hand to AI first.

I'll get back to you within one working day, usually much sooner.
