AI for South West businesses

AI that gives your business its time back.

I build the AI tools, CRMs and outreach agents that take admin off independent businesses: mortgage brokers, estate agents, trades, cafés, salons and shops across the South West. No jargon, no big software bills. I come to you.

The Westcountry AI promise

Four things you get every time.

No retainers you can't leave, no software you rent forever, no junior you've never met.

Fixed price

You get a fixed quote after the AI Audit. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.

Audit fee credited 100%

You own it

The accounts, the data and the build are in your name. If we part ways, it all stays with you.

No lock-in

One senior builder

You deal with me from first chat to finished system. Nothing is handed to a junior or an overseas team.

Louis Davies

Local, in person

Based in Exeter. I'll sit in your office, learn how your team works and train them face to face.

Devon and the South West
Choose your route

Three kinds of business. One goal: less admin.

Start with the one that sounds like your week. Every project starts with a free 20-minute chat. If there's a fit, a paid AI Audit maps your week and gives you a fixed quote, and the fee comes off the build.

Mortgage, finance & property

The advice stays with you. The admin doesn't.

What AI can take off your desk

Four jobs AI does better than a to-do list.

The same building blocks work across every business. What changes is how they fit your week.

Enquiries & bookings

Every message answered in minutes, in your voice, day or night. Bookings confirmed, reminders sent.

Nothing left to go cold

Admin & documents

Letters, quotes, descriptions and meeting notes drafted in seconds. Documents chased until they arrive.

Hours back every week

New-business outreach

An agent that finds the right firms, writes to them from your mailbox, follows up and hands you the replies.

Pipeline on autopilot

CRMs & joined-up data

One place for every customer and job, instead of five systems that don't talk to each other.

Your AI agent, in your pocket

Work that runs itself and reports to your phone.

The agents I build aren't dashboards you forget to check. They live in Telegram: they tell you what happened, draft your answers and wait for your tap. You can ask them anything in plain English.

  • Works from your own email, paced like a person, never a blast
  • Stops the moment a customer replies or opts out
  • Nothing goes to a customer until you approve it
  • Pause everything with one word

How it works

From first chat to time back.

Free 20-minute chat

In person or on the phone. You tell me how the business runs; I tell you honestly whether AI can help.

AI Audit: £295

Half a day at your office mapping where the hours go. You get a written plan and a fixed quote. The £295 comes off the build.

Build, hand over, support

I build it for the fixed price, test it on your real work and train your team. You own everything I build.

Data & compliance

Safe enough for firms that answer to a regulator.

I've built for an FCA-regulated mortgage firm, so the bar I build to is high. Every business I work with gets the same standard, whether it's a brokerage or a bakery.

I'm not a compliance adviser, and nothing I build gives financial advice. You stay in control of every decision.

1

Customer data stays in your systems

Never pasted into free AI tools. That's where businesses get caught out.

2

AI drafts, people decide

Nothing goes to a customer, and no decision is made about one, without a person approving it.

3

UK GDPR from day one

Access controls, retention and opt-outs are part of the build, not an afterthought.

4

You own it

Your data, your accounts, your system. If we stop working together, everything stays with you.

Who you'll work with

A local builder you can actually meet.

I'm Louis Davies. I studied Business Management, specialising in Entrepreneurship, at Bath Spa University, and I'm based in Exeter.

My course taught people to be wary of AI. I took the opposite view: it's already reshaping how small businesses work, and the ones who start now will pull ahead. I've built CRM and outreach work for a UK mortgage brokerage, my own business runs on the agents I build, and I bring the same work to independent businesses across the South West. When you work with me, you deal with me, from the first chat to the finished system.

Good questions

What owners ask before we start.

Do I need to be good with technology?

No. I set everything up, test it on your real work and show you, in plain English, until you're comfortable.

Is my business too small for AI?

Usually the opposite. Small teams feel admin the most, and the first wins are often simple tools you already pay for, set up properly.

Will AI talk to my customers without me knowing?

Only if you want it to. By default it drafts and you approve. Nothing goes out, and no decision is made about a customer, without a person saying yes.

Where does my customers' data go?

It stays in systems you own and control. I never put customer personal data into free AI tools, and access controls are part of every build.

Do you work with regulated firms?

Yes. I've built for an FCA-regulated mortgage firm. Nothing I build gives advice, and your compliance process still signs off.

How much does it cost?

The first 20-minute chat is free. The AI Audit is £295, and that fee is credited in full against any build. After the audit you get a fixed quote, so there are no surprises. Starting prices are listed above.

Do you only work in Devon?

I'm based in Exeter and work across the South West: Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, Dorset, Bristol, Bath, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire.
