Practical AI built around real work.

Focused assistants and workflows for one measurable bottleneck, with approved sources, human review and a manual fallback.

A good fit when

Serving Taree, Wingham, Forster, Tuncurry and the Mid North Coast.

  • Staff searching across scattered documents
  • Missed calls and inconsistent follow-up
  • Repeated admin, drafting or reporting
  • A focused custom tool or internal assistant

Start with the workflow, not the product name.

Scotty maps the current process, the information it depends on and the point where a person must remain accountable. The simplest useful fit might be a knowledge assistant, an AI-supported workflow, a phone assistant or a small custom tool.

The first version stays focused. It uses approved sources, limited access, visible approval points and a manual fallback. That makes it possible to test whether the system is genuinely useful before expanding it.

What is included and what is not.

Typical deliverables

  • AI opportunity review and prioritised first use case
  • Source-information, privacy and access-readiness check
  • Focused assistant, automation or custom-tool pilot
  • Prompts, business rules, blocked actions and approval gates
  • Connections to agreed tools where access and APIs allow
  • Test scenarios, handover notes and a measurement plan

Scoped separately or excluded

  • Replacing accountable staff decisions in high-risk situations
  • Unapproved access to private customer or business information
  • Guaranteed savings, lead volumes or accuracy before measurement
  • Third-party subscriptions, model usage, carrier or API fees unless quoted
  • Autonomous medical, legal, financial or emergency advice

From first conversation to a useful result.

  1. Find the bottleneck

    Choose one repeated, document-heavy or easily missed task with a clear owner and finish.

  2. Set the boundaries

    Agree on approved sources, permissions, blocked actions, review points and the manual fallback.

  3. Build the pilot

    Create the smallest end-to-end system that can produce a useful and testable result.

  4. Test and measure

    Run normal and difficult scenarios, document the system and expand only when the evidence supports it.

First-hand proof

Work you can inspect.

These examples describe observable work and operational improvements. No traffic, ranking, lead or revenue figures are claimed without evidence.

What local businesses usually ask.

What kind of AI system can you build?

Common starting points include staff knowledge assistants, document search and summarising, reviewable drafting, enquiry classification, phone assistants, lead routing and small internal tools. The recommended approach depends on the real workflow and available data.

Do we need a ChatGPT subscription?

Not necessarily. Some projects use an existing business account, while others use an API or another suitable service. The tools, ongoing usage costs and account ownership are agreed before implementation.

How do you protect our business information?

The project starts by identifying what information is approved, private or prohibited. Access is limited to the agreed scope, sensitive actions can require human approval, and vendor data-handling terms are checked before information is connected.

Will AI replace our staff?

The goal is to support a defined part of the work: finding information, preparing a draft, capturing details or routing a task. Judgement, exceptions and consequential decisions stay with people.

How long does an AI project take?

A reliable timeframe needs a known workflow, source material, integrations and approval path. Scotty starts with a bounded pilot so the business can test usefulness before committing to a larger build.
