What our AI automation covers
n8n, Make and Zapier workflows
Reliable no-code and low-code automations connecting your apps, with error handling, retries and alerts.
Custom AI agents
Agents that read, decide and act across your tools when a workflow needs judgement, not just fixed rules.
Document processing
Invoices, forms, contracts and emails read by AI, with data extracted, checked and posted to the right system.
CRM automation
Lead enrichment, scoring, follow-ups and record updates in HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho or Pipedrive.
Email and inbox automation
Incoming email sorted, summarised and answered in draft, with routing to the right person.
Back-office automation
Reporting, reconciliation, data entry and approvals moved off spreadsheets and into automated flows.
How we approach AI automation
No-code where it fits, code where it matters
n8n, Make and Zapier are fast to build and easy for your team to adjust, so we use them for straightforward flows. When volume, logic or security needs outgrow them, we write custom services in Python or Node.js and keep the two working together.
AI only where it adds value
Many steps are best handled by simple rules. We add AI for the parts that need reading, classifying or writing, such as understanding an email or extracting fields from a scanned document, which keeps automations fast and cheap to run.
Built to fail safely
Every automation logs what it did, retries on errors and alerts a person when something looks wrong. Low-confidence AI decisions go to a review queue instead of being applied automatically.
Self-hosted options
n8n and open-source models can run on your own cloud, so customer and financial data stays in your environment. This also avoids per-task pricing as volume grows.
Remote, but close to Cape Town
Time-zone overlap
South Africa is three and a half hours behind India, so our working days overlap for most of your morning and early afternoon.
The Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA)
We design to POPIA's conditions for lawful processing: purpose limits, security safeguards and data-subject access, with data hosted in South African cloud regions when required. We sign NDAs before work starts.
Billing
Invoices in South African rand (ZAR) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.
Built for Cape Town's key sectors
Cape Town startups use us for SaaS, e-commerce and AI products, with a strong daily overlap in working hours and privacy designed to POPIA.
Mining
Mines invest in safety, monitoring and automation systems. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.
Financial services
Banks and insurers lead in mobile and digital channels. We start with one costly process and automate it end to end.
Retail
National chains expand e-commerce and loyalty programmes. We build AI agents, assistants and automation around these workflows.
Tourism and wine
Operators and estates sell to international visitors online. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.
