In a nutshell, my task as an AI Automation Consultant is to study your business and its processes and discover where time savings can be made. These are typically routine and repetitive tasks, the kind that eat up hours without needing much thought once someone knows the steps.
AI Automation Consultant is an all-encompassing title, and often the tasks I take on don’t actually require AI at all, just automating. Something like moving data from a form into a spreadsheet, or sorting emails into the right folder, doesn’t need artificial intelligence, it needs a workflow that does it consistently without anyone having to remember to do it manually.
The consultation is the important part of my role. Understanding your business and how your processes can be improved through automation comes before any technical work starts. I look at what’s actually happening day to day, not just what the process is supposed to look like on paper, and identify where the gaps and repetition are.
This isn’t about taking jobs away, but improving efficiency, freeing people up to work on what they’re good at, where the human touch is vital. Automation handles the repetitive groundwork so your team can spend their time on the parts of the job that need judgement, relationships, or creativity, the things a workflow can’t do for you.
Where AI genuinely fits into this, I can also help businesses set up AI to better suit their own requirements, so they get more accurate and relevant results from it. Tools like Claude Skills allow AI to be configured around how your business actually works, rather than you adapting your business to fit a generic tool. That’s a different job to straightforward automation, but it comes from the same starting point: understanding your processes properly before recommending anything.
If you’re not sure whether what you need is automation, AI, or a mix of both, that’s exactly what the consultation is for, get in touch for a no obligation chat.
