Who we are
Having worked in the AI and automation space for over 10 years, our Co-founders, Daniel Lawrence and Christian Wedlock, have strong expertise in the field, knowing when AI is needed, and when simple automation will do the trick.
Across our team, we have 100 years of experience working with automation, building solutions for highly regulated industries, having completed projects for the likes of BoyleSports, William Hill and Evoke.
We are a hard working team based across offices in Cardiff and Guildford, Surrey, with a mission to help large businesses run as efficiently as possible, so staff can be assigned to the tasks that need human judgement, rather than repeatedly clicking the same three buttons that a simple automation could solve.

What we offer
Three ways to work with us, depending on what you need and how long you need it for.
-
need to build something?
Automation-as-a-Service
Bring an idea of a process you would like to automate. We will scope it, build it, and then run it for you as an ongoing service where we monitor and maintain your automation on your behalf, so it doesn't take up any of your team's time.
-
One-off projects
If you're looking for a one and done project, we offer those too. Bring us your particular pain, we will then diagnose the problem that needs solving, and scope the solution. Each project is priced on its scope rather than a set fee, so you know what you are getting before we start.

Partner Services
For businesses who need help with more than just projects. Our partner services give you knowledge and training on AI & Automation. There are three elements to Partner Services; AI Academy, AI Governance, and Fix & Scale, find out more below.
Trusted across complex operations
“Working with Tom and the team has been very smooth sailing from the start. The meetings have been frequent, short, and really productive, which has made the whole process easy to keep momentum ongoing. We’ve been really happy with the service level and the approach taken to help us explore what’s possible.”
Natasha Prior · Lishmans LLP
“bots for that is solving a problem most firms don’t fully realise they have yet — how to manage client obligations, data, and workflows in a post-MTD world without adding layers of complexity.
Just as importantly, the team behind it understand the needs of the profession and are building with real intent.”
Dean Shepherd · Founder of ESXR
“Bots for That have been brilliant!
They have helped me to understand and use AI better in my business as well as building my an MVP for my pre seed raise and it is amazing!”
Grace Hardy · Founder of Hardy Accounting
“[bots for that] helps us keep on top of the day-to-day mundane bookkeeping, the data entry side of things. It’s allowed us to focus our attention on communicating with clients better.”
Daniel Larcombe · Practice Manager at Future Cloud Accounting
“A team member was off for a week and the bot picked up all their work no problems at all. They pretty much walked straight back into work without a lag in catch up time!”
David Adderson · Founder and Director of Youtopia
“Bots completely transformed the firm. We’re able to rapidly scale and increase our offerings too!”
Chris McKenna · Director at TC Group
“Bots saved 75 FTE over the Cheltenham festival. That’s 600 hours of time the team could use for more valuable work.”
Stephen White · Customer Services Director at BoyleSports
“The Bot took over the roll of over 100 FTE across Cheltenham. With 54,000 conversations, over 25% were handled by the bot without needing an agent.”

Your questions, answered
What is Automation-as-a-Service?
Automation-as-a-Service means the automation is built and then run for you, rather than handed over as a project that becomes your problem to maintain. We map how your business actually operates, build around the systems you already have, then monitor, own and improve what we have built as an ongoing partnership with a single point of accountability. The distinction matters because most automation does not fail at the build, it fails in the months afterwards when nobody is watching it.
What makes Automation-as-a-Service different?
It is not another tool added to the stack. It is a single architecture built from the ground up across six layers, the foundational model, the agent harness, data and integrations, context and knowledge, skills, and security and governance. That's what gives it longevity. Individual tools tend not to connect to one another, and each one is vulnerable the moment a system around it changes or updates. Automation built on one architecture is designed for those changes rather than broken by them.
Why map a process before automating it?
Automating a process nobody has properly mapped tends to produce something fragile that works in the scenario someone pictured and behaves unpredictably the moment it meets an exception. Mapping also surfaces the workarounds a team has quietly built, some of which are catching a real risk the official process was never designed to handle. Automating around one of those without understanding it first is how automation ends up removing a safety net nobody knew existed.
Why not just add another tool or run another pilot?
Adding a tool to a fragmented workflow rarely fixes the fragmentation, it usually adds one more place work can get lost. Similarly, another pilot proves one more narrow idea works under conditions somebody controlled, without closing the real gap, which is that there is no shared architecture capable of taking any proven idea across the whole business. The gain appears when the workflow itself is rebuilt on one architecture.
How much does Automation-as-a-Service cost?
Our starting price is £35k for the year, with 5 solutions built and run by us in that time. However, we offer other packages depending on what you are looking to have built and the size of your business.
What is included in Partner Services?
Partner Services is made up of three elements. AI Academy is training on AI & Automation for you and your team. AI Governance is where we help you build a solid AI Governance framework that can be carried across the business. Fix & Scale is where we help fix a current solution that didn't work, and help you scale with automation.
