Bespoke AI projects

Have something in mind—or a problem that needs a closer look?

Some opportunities need something built for your business. We start by understanding how the work happens, agree a clear scope, then build and test the solution with the people who’ll use it.

Projects might include:

  • Automating repetitive admin and reporting
  • AI assistants for specific workflows
  • Connecting your existing tools so information flows between them

Each project is scoped and quoted individually, separately from workshops, coaching and leadership.

You don’t need to choose a service before we talk. On your first call, I’ll recommend a useful starting point.

How it works

You bring the work. I bring the recommendations.

Whether you need direction, a confident team or a working solution, we start with how your business actually runs, and I lead each step from there.

  1. 01

    Choose a worthwhile starting point

    I look at your real workflows with the people doing the work, then come back with specific recommendations, whether that's leadership, time with your team or something built, and the one I'd start with. You make the call.

  2. 02

    Put it into practice with your team

    Before work begins we agree the scope, the timing and how we'll measure success. That might be regular priority sessions, one-on-one time with each person, or building and testing a solution with the people who'll use it.

  3. 03

    Review and decide what's next

    We check progress against what we set out to achieve. I'll recommend the next thing worth doing, and if ongoing support is useful, we agree exactly what it covers.

What you can count on

Clear from the first conversation.

  • Scope and timing agreed up front

    You'll know what's being delivered, what it costs and when to expect it before work begins. If something changes, you'll hear it from me early.

  • Clear ownership

    We agree who looks after the solution on your side, and it's documented so it doesn't depend on me.

  • Regular progress updates

    You know what's finished, what's next and where I need your input. We agree a check-in rhythm at the start.

  • Built to be used

    Success means your team actually uses it. Training and follow-up are part of the work, not an afterthought.

Who you'll work with

You work directly with me.

I'm Tim O'Connell. I've spent decades helping people and teams make good technology decisions, and now I do the same with AI. I love spotting where it can help, building the solution and teaching people to use it.

I lead every engagement myself. When a project needs specialist help, I'll tell you who's involved before they start, and I stay responsible for the result.

Not sure where AI fits yet? That's the right place to start.

Book a 30-minute call and tell me where work feels slow, repetitive or frustrating. If I'm not the right fit, I'll tell you.

We'll talk through:

  • How the work gets done today
  • Where AI could realistically help
  • What I'd suggest as a sensible first step
