Assistants that know how your business actually runs.

Internal copilots grounded in your systems, your documents and your permissions — not just the public internet. Built for the jobs your team actually does, inside the tools they already use.

01/ What this actually is

Not a chatbot. A colleague who's read the file.

Most people's first AI assistant is Copilot or ChatGPT answering from the internet. That's a useful start, and occasionally the whole job. The work we do begins where that stops — an assistant grounded in your actual policies, your CRM, your matter files and your inboxes, so the answer it gives is specific to your business and traceable back to the source.

02/ Jobs it does

Six shapes of assistant work.

Narrow, well-scoped jobs an assistant can take off a human's plate — reliably enough that the human stops checking every answer.

Job

Answer from your actual policies

Not the internet's version. Retrieval over your documents with citations, so the answer is auditable and anyone on the team can see where it came from.
Job

Draft with your tone and your data

Proposals, replies, file notes, handover briefs — prefilled from the CRM or PSA record, written in a voice that reads like your team, not a model.
Job

Summarise the long stuff

Email threads, matter files, tender responses, call transcripts — reduced to the shape the next person actually needs, not a generic bullet list.
Job

Look things up across systems

One question, answered by pulling across CRM, PSA, SharePoint, the shared drive and the inbox — instead of the user tabbing through five apps themselves.
Job

Trigger the next step

An assistant that can open a ticket, draft an invoice, book a slot, send the follow-up — not one that stops at talking about doing it.
Job

Hand off with context

When the assistant hits its limit, the human inherits the full thread, the intent and what's already been tried — not a restart from scratch.
03/ How we'd approach it

One job, grounded properly, in the tool people already use.

Assistants that try to do everything end up trusted with nothing. We'd rather ship one that earns its keep and grow from there.

  1. Pick one job, not a platform

    Assistants fail when they try to be everything. Start with one well-defined job where the user would notice if it went away tomorrow.

  2. Ground it in the right data

    The documents, the systems, the inboxes that actually hold the answers — connected properly, with retrieval tuned for how your people really ask.

  3. Wire in permissions from day one

    The assistant sees what the user is allowed to see. Identity and access controls are part of the build, not a compliance review six months in.

  4. Put it in the tool people already use

    Teams, Slack, a browser tab, an email thread — wherever the work already happens. Not a new app with a new login to remember.

For the governance side — permissions, grounding, audit and the identity perimeter that keeps an assistant honest — see the AI security perimeter.

04/ Copilot vs custom

Honest about which is actually the right answer.

Plenty of teams have a Copilot licence they're not getting much out of. Sometimes the fix is configuration, not a new build.

Sometimes the right answer is configuring the Copilot licence you already pay for, properly — the grounding, the prompts, the permissions, the rollout. Sometimes it's a custom assistant reaching into systems Copilot can't. We start every engagement by working out which, and saying so — even when it turns out to be the smaller piece of work.

05/ Where it lands

Useful in the tool people already have open.

An assistant that lives in its own app gets forgotten. The ones that stick are the ones sitting inside the workflow someone is already in.

/ Into your systems

The assistant reads from, and writes back to, the systems that already run the work — CRM, PSA, ERP, SharePoint, the document store. That integration work is our day job, documented on the systems integration page.

/ Into your workflows

When the assistant triggers a next step, it lands in the automation plumbing the rest of the team already relies on — tickets, queues, approvals, notifications — handled the way our workflow automation work is handled.
