AY Automate

Our pick

Best for

UK companies that want AI systems running in production, with one partner who stays

AY Automate works with companies in the UK and across Europe and the Middle East. We set a system up in hours, run it for you and fix it when a tool changes. It is an ongoing partnership, not a scoped project that ends at handover.

  • Qatar Tourism. A multilingual WhatsApp agent now handles 80% of support requests with no human. The 4+ hour wait is gone.
  • Shem's Publicité. A creative team of three went from five days per content batch to under 24 hours, same team and same output.
  • EU hosting is available. Clients keep what we build if they cancel.

“The team is super fast, sometimes we had to slow them down. We managed to scale the company without investing into hiring.”

Elie Salame, COO, Adstronaut.io

Not the right fit for a small one-off task. It is built for companies that want AI systems running in production with one partner who stays.

How to choose

  1. Step 1

    Start with the size of the job

    A single workflow or a missed-call fix suits the small UK shops. A system that touches several tools and keeps changing needs a partner who stays after launch.

  2. Step 2

    Read the price column twice

    Entry prices of £250 to £750 buy one narrow thing. Ask what is not in the price: setup, maintenance, tool licences and changes after launch.

  3. Step 3

    Ask where your data goes

    For UK and EU customers, ask where data is stored and which model providers see it. AY Automate can host in the EU.

  4. Step 4

    Check how you can leave

    Look for no lock-in, a refund clause or cancel anytime in writing. Ask who owns the build if you stop. At AY, clients keep what we built.

  5. Step 5

    Ask for a result with a number

    One named client, one result you can verify. At AY that is Qatar Tourism: 80% of support requests handled with no human.
