SMEs Can't Afford to Hire
But They're Drowning in Work
Traditional Hiring
Min. £25,000/year = 1 person
100% engaged 40 hours a week?
AI Teammates
£1,188/year = 21 specialised team members
100% engaged 24/7!
5.5M UK businesses can't afford staff.
We just gave them a team.
We're Not Competing with AI Tools
(There are enough of them out there!)
We're Replacing Roles Businesses Can't Afford
This isn't just another Ai solution. It's not just about technology adoption. It's about solving the SME staffing crisis with a fundamentally different approach.
When a business owner thinks "I need to hire a receptionist," we don't say…
"Here's an API. Hire engineers to configure it."
We say "Here's Missy. She starts Monday. £99 per month."

Recovered Revenue
"I Didn't Implement AI. I Hired Missy."
— Garry Sephton, Sutton Roofing
Garry needed a receptionist but couldn't justify £25,000 per year. He hired Missy for £99/month instead. He would never have set up an Ai software tool.
Then he became a shareholder.

When your 'employee' works so well you invest, the product works.
