AI automation for Irish SMEs.
AI Automation and Agents is a build service. We take one defined workflow in your business, such as document intake, quote preparation, reconciliation or support triage, and automate it end to end. It comes with monitoring, a runbook and staff training. It is for Irish small and medium businesses where manual admin eats hours and there is no senior technical lead to take on the automation. From €2,500, excluding VAT, for one workflow. We do not publish a fixed length for this work.
Check whether this matches your business.
You run an Irish business and you have no senior technical lead. This page is for you if one of these sounds familiar:
If you are not sure which job to automate first, start smaller. The AI Quick-Start Assessment (€495) looks at your current tools and names three quick wins. The AI Readiness Discovery ends with an opportunity shortlist, with the effort and value of each.
We work across Ireland, remotely first and on site by arrangement.
What you are dealing with today.
Manual admin eats hours, and you have no senior technical lead to automate it. Which job could we automate? What would it cost? And who looks after it when something stops working?
We are not a reseller of one vendor's AI tool, and we sell specific, priced pieces of work, not a transformation programme.
The work, step by step.
A founder does the work. For one defined workflow we:
Piotr Gospodarczyk, one of the two founders, leads technical delivery. Aditya Kannan, the other founder, leads client relationships and project management, so you have one accountable person who is not writing the code.
A written handover comes with every engagement.
How long the work takes.
We do not publish a fixed length for an automation build. Ask us on a call how long your workflow would take.
A fixed scope and a fixed price.
For businesses where manual admin eats hours and there is no senior technical lead to take it on. We automate one defined workflow end to end.
From €2,500
To estimate a task's yearly cost, multiply hours a week by the hourly cost of the person doing it. Then multiply by 46 working weeks.
Your estimate, from your figures. It shows what a manual task costs you in a year; we make no claim about what automation would save.

At your figures, the task costs about a year.

Grants that may pay part of this work.
Grow Digital Voucher (Local Enterprise Office). It does not cover custom software. The Local Enterprise Office's own page says: "Custom or bespoke software is not eligible for grant support." What it does cover:
The grant is "50% of eligible costs with minimum grant aid of €500 up to a maximum grant of €5,000 per application". A business can be approved for two vouchers at most. The two share one cap: "Enterprises can be approved a maximum of two Grow Digital Voucher projects up to a maximum cumulative grant value of €5,000 as identified in their Digital for Business project to support their Digitalisation journey."
It is open to small enterprises with between 1 and 50 paid employees that:
The page lists further conditions after these, including current tax clearance from Revenue. It also says: "An application must be submitted before any project expenditure is incurred or any project activity commences."
So a custom automation we build for you is not covered. If your workflow can run on an off-the-shelf AI tool, we can do the training and configuration. Your Local Enterprise Office decides eligibility, so ask it whether the voucher applies.
Digital Process Innovation (Enterprise Ireland). It covers "50% of the eligible costs, up to a maximum grant of €150,000". The scheme's Terms of Reference add: "The Committee may offer grant at a lower rate than the maxima above." Eligible costs include "Reasonable external consultancy costs". It has a condition that matters for automation. Its brochure says: "The project must involve some level of innovation or risk of failure and must not be focused on routine operational changes or responding to changes in regulation." Subcontracted or consultancy work can be no more than 60% of the total costs; above that, the project is ineligible. Enterprise Ireland advises talking to your Enterprise Ireland Advisor before you apply, or to your local Enterprise Ireland office if you are not a client. Enterprise Ireland decides eligibility. You cannot apply for less than €20,000 of eligible grant support, and you must apply before any work on the project starts. Our Digital Process Innovation guide sets out the other conditions.
Digital Discovery (Enterprise Ireland) pays towards "The support of an external Digital expert, for between 3 and 7 days". Its page says this "is based on training or advisory services". It supports "Guidance on the implementation of new or enhanced digital, data, automation or AI solutions". For firms that meet its rules, it may help pay for the AI Readiness Discovery that comes before a build.
We do not decide who is eligible. Each agency publishes its scheme's rules and takes questions. We never promise approval.

From €2,500, excluding VAT, which is added at the standard rate of 23%. That is a starting price, not a fixed package price. It includes monitoring, a runbook and staff training. Every price is published on our pricing page.
One defined workflow per engagement. Examples are document intake, quote preparation, reconciliation and support triage. If you do not yet know which workflow is worth automating, the AI Readiness Discovery shortlists the opportunities with their effort and value.
You get monitoring, a runbook, staff training and a written handover, so your team can run it. If you would rather we looked after it, the Software Concierge Essentials tier costs €450 a month, excluding VAT, for support, small changes and monitoring. Its hours, response target and terms are on the Software Concierge page.
