What we do

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.

In depth

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.

Working with us from Japan

Japan is three and a half hours ahead of India, so our working days overlap for most of your afternoon, with a stand-up and same-day replies.

Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI)

We design to the APPI: clear purpose of use, security controls, rules for third-party and cross-border transfers, and data hosted in Japanese cloud regions when required. We sign NDAs before work starts.

Billing

Invoices in Japanese yen (JPY) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.
