Questions about AI and automation.

A quoting system, job and admin automations, and a licence, compliance and asset register, set up on the tools you already use and live in 30 days.

It depends on the scope. You get the scope and the price in writing before any work starts.

We agree the scope in writing in week one. If it isn't live within 30 days and the delay is on our side, we keep working at no extra cost until it is. It covers what we agreed to build.

Usually not. I build on the tools you already use, such as your job software, Xero, Google or Microsoft 365 and spreadsheets, within what your setup allows. If something can't connect, I'll tell you before any work starts.

Partly. Each system does its part. Someone still has to join them up, move the information between them and check nothing fell through the gaps, and that's usually you or your best person.

It's good at answering questions and drafting. On its own it doesn't know your systems or change how the work moves through the business. The value comes from putting AI inside the workflow, with checks around it.

Australian businesses where a few people carry most of the admin and your systems don't talk to each other. I've built systems for a multi-site plumbing business, a tender team and an exhibitions and collections operation.

Usually the tools you already have: your email, spreadsheets, Google Workspace (what I've built on most) or Microsoft 365, and your job, booking or accounts software. On the first call, tell me what you use and I'll tell you straight what's possible.

I only use your information to do the work. I don't sell it or pass it on, and I'll tell you which tools it goes through. I build on accounts your business controls where I can, and I keep access to what the job needs.

Not unless you want it to. I set it up so AI drafts and flags, and a person checks before anything goes to a customer or supplier.

That's not the aim. It takes the re-typing, chasing and checking off your people so they can spend their time on customers and the work that needs judgement.

Only when a chatbot is genuinely the right fix. Most of the time the bigger win is behind the scenes: information moving between systems and a short list of what needs a person.

It's a short call. You tell me where the time goes and which systems you use. I tell you straight whether AI or automation will help, and if I'm not the right person, I'll say so.

Me, Abbed Akbery. I set it up, I run it with you, and if something doesn't look right, you ring me and I sort it out.

Brisbane, and I work with businesses across Australia.
