Ledger
My bookkeeping, mostly doing itself. An AI autopilot reconciles the bank feed and email receipts into an approval inbox, so the books only ask for me when they have to. 63 Rust tests guard the money.
alexevoy.dev/automation
The admin does itself. You read one email over coffee.
My own business runs on AI agents I built. Overnight they hunt down the opportunities worth chasing and draft the day's marketing. Anything that needs me, they flag. In the morning I read a digest and press send on what I like.
I build the same for other small businesses. Not a chatbot on your website. A worker in the background that does a job you're sick of doing by hand, and stops short of sending anything until you've read it. It runs on your own machine, so your customers' details never leave the building.
Comps
Keeps only the UK competitions worth entering, weighed by prize against effort.
Rounds
Drafts the one to three marketing moves worth making that day.
Steal
Digests the design details worth keeping from the sites I browse.
My own back office. Each one drafts and stops; I press send.
The Proof
The agents that run my business
These run for me every day. Not demos and not a pitch deck, the actual back office of my freelance business. Each one drafts its work and stops, a person presses every send button.
Comps
Runs daily · draft onlyTrawls UK competitions daily and only keeps the ones worth entering, weighing prize against effort. It drafts the entry and flags any wins, but I read the morning deck and press submit myself.
Rounds
Runs daily · draft onlyEvery morning it reads through everything I'm chasing and drafts the one to three marketing moves worth making that day. Nothing goes out unless I send it.
Steal
Runs nightlyWatches the sites I browse and pulls out the design details worth keeping, the type, the colour, the layout tricks, then emails me a digest each night.
Fixings Advisor
In development · client workFor a UK fasteners shop: an advisor that reads a plain description of the job, or a trade job list, and drops the right parts in the basket. The first of these built for someone else's customers rather than for me.
Jarvis
A "Hey Jarvis" voice assistant for my studio. It wakes on its name, talks back, and remembers across restarts. Draft-don't-send is hard-wired, so it can never fire anything off on its own.
The Rule
Draft, never send
Every agent I ship has the same rule wired in, not promised: it does the work, writes the draft, and stops. A person presses every send button. If an agent chases invoices, you read the email before your customer does. If it drafts quotes, you check the number before anyone sees it.
It runs on your own machine or a small box in your office, so your customer data stays where it already is. And you get an off switch you control, no call to me needed.
The honest bit: some jobs aren't worth automating, and the audit will say so. I'd rather tell you that for £500 than build you something for thousands that you didn't need.
- Jobs people hand over
- Drafting quotes from messy enquiries. Chasing unpaid invoices, politely. Sorting a shared inbox so the right person sees the right thing. Watching for tenders, jobs, or competitions worth entering. Turning call notes into follow-ups.
- The test for a good candidate
- You do it every week, it eats an hour or more, and it follows rules you could write down for a new employee. If that's true, an agent can probably draft it.
- What it is not
- Not a chatbot bolted to your website, and not something that emails your customers on its own. The agent works, you approve, then it's sent. That order never changes.
What It Costs
Start small on purpose
The ladder starts at £500 so you can find out what's worth automating before you spend anything real. Every price below is also printed on the main pricing page, and the audit fee comes off any build.
comes off the build if you go ahead
Half a day looking at how your business actually runs, on a call or in person. I map the repetitive jobs, work out which ones a computer should be doing, and rank them by hours saved.
- Every repeat job in your week, mapped
- The top three automations, ranked by hours saved
- An honest effort estimate for each one
- A written report you can act on with anyone
- A call afterwards to walk it through
Timeline: one week
↗ Book the audit
One job in your business, automated properly. Tell me what eats your time, drafting quotes, chasing invoices, sorting the inbox, and I'll build an agent that does the first pass and leaves the send button to you.
- One job automated end to end
- Draft only by design, nothing sends itself
- Runs on your own machine, so your data stays put
- An off switch you control, no call to me needed
- Set up, handover, and a month of adjustments
Timeline: 1–2 weeks
↗ Tell me the job
then from £350/mo to keep it sharp
Several agents working together with a morning digest, built the way I run my own business: the agents do the legwork overnight and you read one email over coffee.
- Several agents plus a daily digest
- The same rule on every one: draft, never send
- Built around what the audit found
- Quoted after the audit, so the number has evidence behind it
- Care plan: tuning, plus a new automation each quarter
Timeline: 3–6 weeks
↗ Start with the audit
If the job turns out to need a full app or a dashboard instead, that's the other half of what I do. See app builds and operator dashboards.
Contact
Tell me the job you're sick of
One email with the job that eats your week. I'll tell you whether an agent can do it, what it would cost, and what I'd skip, usually within a day.
Email: alex@alexevoy.devThe £500 audit is the low-risk way in. It's credited against any build, and if nothing's worth automating, the report says so and we part as friends.
