AI Business Consultant and Solutions Builder in Yorkshire
Find what is slowing your business down. Then build the right solution.
I work with businesses to understand inefficient processes, improve workflows and build focused digital tools. Sometimes the right answer uses AI. Sometimes it is automation, integration, custom software, staff training or a simpler way of working.
Start in the right place
You do not need to begin with an AI project
Many useful conversations start with a business owner saying that something has become too slow, too manual or too dependent on one person. Staff may be repeating the same administrative work, copying information between systems, chasing customer follow-up or working around software that no longer matches the job.
The first task is not to name the technology. It is to understand where time, judgement, information and responsibility are being lost. Once that is clear, the answer may be a workflow change, a focused tool, a better handover, an integration, training, or AI in one controlled part of the process.
Service routes
Four ways to approach the problem
Each route starts with the business need, then narrows the options to what is worth reviewing, building or learning.
01
Business Process Review
A structured look at how work is really moving through the business before deciding what should change.
02
AI Business Consultancy
A business-first way to judge where AI may help, where it should be controlled, and where another route is better.
03
Automation and Custom Tools
Focused automation, integrations and internal tools built around the workflow you already have.
04
AI Solutions for Business
Clear, contained AI assistance for tasks such as classification, drafting, search and summarising.
Method
Understand the work before building around it
Step 1 of 5
Observe
I start by understanding the business, the outcome you want and how the work is actually being done by the people involved.

Why Robert
Business ownership shapes the advice
I began building software because my own businesses needed better systems. Instabus exposed me to enquiry flows, search, mapping, administration, APIs and live operational decisions. Vibe Code Academy grew from helping people learn to build useful digital products with AI assistance.
That background matters because technology choices have consequences. A clever demo is not enough if it disrupts staff, creates more admin or depends on data the business cannot trust. I care about what is justified, maintainable and useful once real people have to use it.
You can read more about that background on the About page.
