Services · AI Automation & Integration

Less manual work.Better connected systems.

I connect the systems you already use and automate the repetitive steps between them. Where AI helps with reading, sorting or finding information, I build it into a workflow you can understand and control.

Document processing and search
  1. 01 Scanned pages The 2,421 pages of the Queenstown Courier.
  2. 02 Read and indexed Text extracted and indexed for search.
  3. 03 Found at the source Each result linked to the page it is printed on.

Start with the work that keeps coming back

Copying information between systems. Reading incoming documents one by one. Building a report that is needed again next week.

We start with a real task, understand the exceptions and decide what is worth automating. Predictable steps often need ordinary rules; others may benefit from AI. The work can include:

Connections, models and hosting are chosen around the systems, data and requirements involved. Third-party services and running costs are made clear before launch.

From scanned pages to useful search

The Queenstown Courier archive contains 2,421 scanned pages. These were machine-read and indexed so that a search can find the relevant page in the original magazine.

Search finds the relevant issue and page. The result opens the original scan.

How the work happens

  1. 01

    Understand the task

    We review the workflow, the information involved and the result people need.

  2. 02

    Design the workflow

    We agree steps, permissions, review points and what happens when something cannot be completed.

  3. 03

    Build and try it

    I connect the systems and test representative cases, including the awkward ones.

  4. 04

    Release with control

    We check results, agree monitoring responsibilities and document how to pause, change or stop it.

Clear boundaries and useful control

Before launch, you should know what information the workflow uses, where it goes, what access each part has and when a person needs to review the result.

Handover explains each step, how failures are handled, the services involved and the agreed support responsibilities.

Common questions

Does every automation need AI?

No. Predictable steps are often better handled with rules and integrations. I use AI where it has a useful job within the workflow.

What happens to our data?

We identify the information, where it may be processed and who may access it before choosing tools. You know which services are involved and why.

What happens when a result is wrong or incomplete?

The workflow needs a defined response. It may flag an item for review, stop that step or return it for correction. Those cases are part of the design and testing.

Can it work with our existing systems?

That depends on the access and interfaces they provide. I check the available options before agreeing an implementation.

What will it cost to run and maintain?

The proposal identifies expected services, ongoing costs and support responsibilities. Where usage affects cost, that is explained before launch.

Which task keeps taking more time than it should?

Talk me through it. I’ll help you work out whether it is a good candidate for automation and where to start.
