We are your AI transformation partner.

Not a tool, not a subscription, not a consultant with a slide deck. We go into your business, find the work that should not be done by people any more, and build the AI that does it. Whatever it takes, across every area, inside the tools your team already opens.

Every price starts in the open. The audit is from £2,000, and it comes back with a range against every option we recommend. What it costs after that depends on your business, and we tell you the number before anything is built.

It starts with an audit, from £2,000UK businesses of every kind

Thirty minutes, free, to work out whether we are the right fit for each other. We will tell you if we are not.

Talk to it

A chief for every corner of the business, and none of them sleep

One for enquiries. One for quoting. One for the money, the jobs, the compliance, the people. Each one reads everything in its patch, knows what normal looks like, and acts the moment something is not. Pick an area down the left and watch it work. Ask it anything you would ask a manager, tell it what to do, and it goes and does it inside the tools you already run.

This is the software that runs our own company. Open it and drive it yourself, no form and no sales call first.

What reaches you

It does the work. You just say yes.

The agents run the process end to end and finish the job before you ever see it. Anything urgent, anything irreversible, anything outside the rules you set, comes to you as a message with the work already done. You read it, you tap approve or reject, and it goes. You decide what needs asking about and what does not, and you can change that line whenever you like.

You draw the line, not us. Tell it what it can do on its own and what it must ask about. Any price over a number, anything going out in your name, anything nobody can take back. Move the line whenever you want.

The work is finished before you see it. You are approving a written quote, not a task telling you to go and write one. If you say no it holds, tells you why it asked, and comes back when it matters.

One tap, and it is done. It sends, updates the record and moves the job on. From a van, a site, or the school run, without opening a laptop.

Go on, approve one.

Wherever your team already is

Or your own app

The future is here

Or it just rings you and tells you

Seven in the morning, before the vans go out. It talks you through what it handled overnight, what it could not finish, and the two things that want a person. You answer out loud, from the kitchen, and it goes and does them.

Nobody has to learn anything to use this. There is no dashboard to log into and no new app for your team. It speaks, you answer, and the work moves.

Calling you

  1. 07:04

    Morning Ray. Everything that could run overnight has run.

  2. 07:04

    Nine enquiries answered, three quotes drafted, four chasers out. Seventeen jobs still on track.

  3. 07:05

    Two things want you before nine. The Patel quote is four hundred over your usual band, and the gas safety at 14 Fenn Road expires in eleven days with nobody booked.

  4. 07:05

    Say the word and I will book the engineer now.

An example call, not a recording. You can read it instead if you would rather.

Not a template

One app. Three businesses. Nothing shared but the build.

Same software, rebuilt around how each firm actually works. The menu changes, the numbers change, and the agent learns a different vocabulary. These are screens from the demo you can open and drive yourself.

At ground level

We come and sit with the people who have to use it

Software nobody adopts is money set on fire. So the job does not end when the thing works, it ends when the team is actually using it. We run the sessions ourselves, in the room, with the people who do the work.

  • Nobody has to learn a technology. It goes inside the tools they already open. There is no new app and no new login for your team.

  • We train the people, not the software. Whoever does the quoting gets shown what changed about quoting. That is the whole lesson.

  • We find the gaps in the room. The person who quietly kept a spreadsheet is the person who tells you what the build missed.

You have literally changed my entire life. I have not stopped using it since. I have got it hooked up to all kinds of things now. It is incredible.
George, Prolec SolutionsFounder
AI felt overwhelming until we started working with NextStep. They have transformed how our business operates and saved the team countless hours. The single biggest leverage move you could make.
Dean, Cool DynamicsOwner
I did not realise how much AI could transform a business until working with these guys. They have built agents across the business and made everything run more efficiently. The power of AI is honestly crazy when it is implemented properly.
Will, Next Level Player DevelopmentFounder

How it works, and what it costs

One path, three stages, no menu

We do not sell AI, we do not sell hours, and we do not sell a subscription you forget you are paying for. We find out how your business really runs, work out what should change, build it, launch it, and stay alongside you to keep it improving.

  1. 01

    The Audit

    From £2,000

    The Business and AI Transformation Audit, priced by the size of your business. We spend time with your team, work out how the business actually runs, and hand you a roadmap with several options, each priced on its own. Yours to keep whether you build with us or not.

  2. 02

    Implementation

    From £5,000

    Plan, build, test, launch. Priced on scope and value, never on hours. Half to start and half when it goes live, with a 60 day warranty from launch: if what we built is not working as it should, we fix it at no cost.

  3. 03

    Partnership

    £150 or £500 a month

    Standby at £150 hosts it, monitors it around the clock and fixes what breaks. Partnership at £500 adds us as your ongoing AI adviser, with a monthly report and a quarterly strategy review. You own everything we build.

You never pay it all up front. The implementation price is agreed in writing before anything is built, and it is half to start and half when it goes live, or split across as many months as your cash flow needs. Sixty days of warranty from launch: if what we built is not working as it should, we fix it at no cost.

Standby

£150 a month

We host it, watch it and keep it running.

  • Hosting, backups and security updates
  • Monitoring around the clock by our own AI agents
  • Bugs fixed, and changes from the tools we connect to handled before you notice
  • A monthly health report: what ran, what we caught, what we fixed

Partnership

£500 a month

Everything in Standby, plus us as your ongoing AI adviser.

  • A monthly AI report on how your systems are performing and what could be better
  • A quarterly strategy review, looking at where AI could help next
  • Ongoing advice whenever you want a second opinion on technology or AI
  • New ideas brought to you, rather than waited for

You own everything we build: the code, your data, your prompts. You pay your own AI usage directly, on your own account, at cost, and we never mark it up. Bigger new ideas become their own project, scoped and priced up front, so your monthly fee never turns into an open-ended bill.

Just need a website or an app? Start with a free scoping call. One conversation to understand what you need, then a clear, priced proposal. No full audit required.

If you already pay someone monthly for marketing software

Ask what you are holding at the end of it.

Most monthly AI and marketing packages are a seat on somebody else’s platform, configured for you and managed for a fee. It is worth knowing exactly what that is, because a seat is not the same thing as a business that has been changed.

What are you paying for?

A managed sub-account

Configuration and management of an account on a platform thousands of other businesses are also on. The same template, with your logo on it.

What we build

Software built for your process, and agents built for your actual jobs. Nobody else has a copy.

What happens if you stop?

A managed sub-account

The funnels, the automations and often the phone number stay with the platform. You leave with your contacts and very little else.

What we build

Everything we build is yours. What you keep and how your data comes out is agreed in writing before we start.

Where does the work happen?

A managed sub-account

Inside their platform. Anything living in your job management, accounts or case system still has to be carried across by a person.

What we build

Inside the tools you already run. The agents read and write where the work already is, so nobody has to learn a new system.

How much of the business does it touch?

A managed sub-account

Marketing and lead chasing. The quoting, the scheduling, the invoicing, the compliance and the reporting are all still done by people.

What we build

Whatever the audit says is costing you most. Every area of the business is in scope, not the one the platform happens to cover.

What is it worth in three years?

A managed sub-account

Nothing on its own. It is a subscription, and it stops the month you stop paying for it.

What we build

An asset on your side of the table: your records, your automations, your software, still running.

Your stack

We build into the tools you already run

Not around them, and not instead of them. The systems you pay for and your team already trusts keep doing their job. The agents go and work inside them.

These are examples, not a list.

We are not an app with a directory of supported integrations. We build the connections ourselves, so the question is not whether your software is on a list. It is whether it has an API, a webhook, a database, an export or an inbox, and almost everything does.

Where it goes

Three of your leaks, before we have met

Pick a kind of business. The loss comes first and the fix second, because the fix does not land until the loss has. These are not the sectors we sell to. They are six very different businesses losing the same three hours.

Enquiries land while everyone is on site, and the quote goes out when someone gets to a laptop.

Leak 01

Enquiry and booking

Calls and forms arrive while the team is on the tools. The ones answered first are the ones that happen to be seen first.

One intake point that answers straight away, qualifies the job and puts it in the diary.

Leak 02

Quotes and follow-up

Quotes get rebuilt from the last similar job, priced from memory, and chased when somebody remembers.

Drafts assembled from the job details on your real rates, approved by a person, then chased on a schedule.

Leak 03

Compliance and certificates

Certificates and test dates live in a spreadsheet somebody has to remember to open.

Documents read on arrival, dates extracted and held, and reminders that arrive before the deadline bites.

These are the usual three. Yours will be specific, and finding them properly is what the Audit is for.

Finding yours properly is what the Audit is for, and the roadmap it produces is yours whatever you do next.

The questions everyone asks

“Five thousand pounds is a lot for an implementation.”

Compare it with a hire, not with software. It is less than the first few months of one salaried person, it runs nights and weekends, and everything we build is yours. The number follows the size and the value of what changes, it is agreed in writing before anything is built, and it can be split across an agreed number of months.

“Why pay £2,000 for the Audit before anything is built?”

Because it is the work rather than a pitch. We go inside the business, interview your people and hand you the transformation plan, and you keep it whatever you decide next. It is a separate product with its own price, so nobody is paying for a sales process dressed up as a diagnosis.

“How do we know it will actually get used?”

Because we come and sit with the people who have to use it, in the room, and we build it inside the tools they already open. Nobody is asked to learn a new system or log into a second place. If a thing is not being used a month later, that is our problem to fix, not yours to chase.

“We tried AI and it did not stick.”

It rarely sticks because a tool gets dropped on a process nobody redesigned, and then nobody owns it. We design with the people doing the work, and we are still in the business every month afterwards. Adoption is the deliverable, not the hope.

Let us blow your mind with what is possible

A free hour with someone who builds this for a living. Ask anything you like about AI in your business and get a straight answer, including where it would not help. You leave with a plan, whether you ever hire us or not.
