AI agents that work alongside your team — answering calls, managing email, booking meetings, generating leads — 24/7/365.
Most business owners only think about the salary. They forget the other 30–50% that goes on top. Use the calculator to see the real number.
Enter the salary you'd pay for your next hire:
85% of callers who hit voicemail don't leave a message. Every missed call is a customer choosing your competitor instead.
Half the emails in your inbox need replies you don't have time to write. The important ones get buried under the noise.
You need more capacity but the true cost of hiring — £40k+ for a £25k role — makes the maths impossible, especially with NI rising again.
You're the MD, the receptionist, the sales lead, and the HR department. Something always slips. Usually the thing that actually grows the business.
Your business runs 9–5 but your customers don't. Every evening, weekend, and bank holiday is lost opportunity.
Employer NI, pension auto-enrolment, recruitment fees, training, equipment. Every new hire is a bigger bet on your cashflow.
Nobody gets replaced — everyone gets superpowers. AI agents that work alongside your people, handling the volume so they can focus on what matters.
A multi-channel AI receptionist that extends your front-of-house capacity to 24/7/365. Answers phone calls with a natural voice, manages the inbox, books meetings, and responds in Microsoft Teams.
An AI content production pipeline that generates branded social media content — from strategy to published post — including AI-generated images and videos with brand-consistent visual identity.
Same output. Different economics.
