Practical AI support

AI forEveryday Work

I help you use AI to organise information, track tasks and draft replies. From reviewing your workflow and choosing tools to setting up practical solutions and providing ongoing advice.

Sound familiar?

  • You know AI could help, but you're not sure which one to use.
  • You do the same weekly or daily tasks and report writing.
  • Routine emails and inquiries eat up your time.
  • You've tried AI before, but nothing quite fit.
  • There's no one in-house with the time to set up an AI environment.
  • You're not using it because of security concerns.

Services

Services

  • Information management, data entry and reporting

    Connect receipt and document extraction with data entry into business systems, aggregation and charts. Reduce manual entry and recurring report preparation while retaining checks where human review is needed.

  • Inquiry and email handling

    Connect inquiry classification, information lookup, reply drafts and staff notifications. Adjust automation to each task, including approval before sending.

  • Connecting tasks across tools

    Build AI agents that follow instructions across email, browsers and business systems. Check permissions and constraints, with options that avoid dependence on a single AI provider.

  • AI adoption and practical advice

    Discuss suitable tasks, tools and automation scope. Even before requirements are settled, identify what you can test in your daily work.

  • Maintenance and ongoing improvement

    Address errors and changes in connected tools, and refine workflows based on actual use. Discuss additional features and broader automation as your work changes.

In practice

Three tasks I already automate

These examples come from my own work. The screens are illustrative demos, not client projects.
