01Why Agency AI

Why we started Agency AI.

Large enterprises bring in consultancies such as Capgemini or KPMG to rebuild their processes around AI. OpenAI has now set up a $4bn company to do the same.

Mid-sized businesses have the data and the potential, but fall outside that scope. They are offered Copilot licences and AI bolt-ons that save a little time, but come nowhere near what AI can do.

We bring the same standard of enterprise-level AI engineering to mid-sized businesses. Our senior engineers redesign your processes around AI, build them alongside your teams and train your people to use them. Think of us as your fractional AI engineering partner.

IT providersSell you a tool, such as Copilot, or AI features bolted on to your software.
Automation agenciesLink your existing apps with workflow tools such as Zapier or Make. Good for simple, rule-based tasks.
Agency AIYour strategic AI partner. Senior AI engineers who find your biggest business problems and solve them, from strategy to a system that runs.
Large consultanciesDo the same for large enterprises, at enterprise cost.
02Case study

AI order processing for the UK’s largest and oldest salt distributor.

Gregorie Marshall, managing director of Peacock Salt, and Max Modlin, founder of Agency AI, in one of Peacock Salt's salt stores Peacock Salt
The challenge

Peacock came to us with a problem off-the-shelf software couldn’t solve. Its order processing depends on more than 20 of the company’s own rules, so every order has to be checked and validated by a person, taking 3–4 minutes per order. Peacock wanted a more efficient way to relieve pressure on the team during the winter peak.

The AI solution

We built Peacock a bespoke AI order processing solution. It reads the tens of thousands of orders Peacock receives each year, applies those rules, converts quantities into what the customer intended, and submits each order directly into Microsoft Dynamics 365. It was trained and tested on around 100,000 past orders.

The result
30,000orders a year Peacock expects to automate
2,000hours of manual checking saved a year, at most
“AI was something we had been considering for a while, and we wanted to do it properly, with a partner who understood how our business actually works. The systems Agency AI has built are already helping our teams, and we are going into our busiest season in a stronger position.”Gregorie MarshallManaging Director, Peacock Salt

03Problems we solve

We solve your problems. We don’t sell software.

We work with you to find the biggest friction points in your operations, then build a solution for each one. Here are some we have solved for other businesses.

Distribution

Customer enquiries

The problem

Up to 8 minutes per enquiry checking the ERP and haulier portals for a delivery update.

What we built

An AI agent that has the order status and latest delivery update ready before the team opens the enquiry.

Distribution

Sales insight

The problem

Sales, product and customer data spread across several systems, with no view of the whole business.

What we built

A bespoke AI data warehouse that brings it into one place, so leadership can see trends, ask questions and make data-driven decisions.

Construction

Procurement paperwork

The problem

Delivery notes, invoices and credit notes in every format, entered by hand into several systems.

What we built

A procurement agent that reads thousands of documents, extracts every line item, creates purchase orders and tracks each job against budget in real time.

Construction

A bespoke AI operating system

The problem

Off-the-shelf task tools were static. They could not run processes across teams, pull in other data, or work the way the business does.

What we built

A fully bespoke AI operating system, built for how the business runs. It:

  • brings data from across the business together and turns it into insights
  • runs processes that pass between teams, from site to sign-off
  • connects to WhatsApp, so sites can send updates and files straight from the job
  • looks and works exactly how the company wanted

04How it works

How an engagement works.

1

Discovery call

A conversation with Max, our founder, about your AI strategy and the processes that cost your business the most time.

2

AI roadmap

We map those processes, confirm where AI will pay back, and set out the scope and cost of each change in an AI roadmap. Nothing is built until you approve it.

3

Build and run

Our engineers build each system in your environment, alongside your team, and give your people AI agents and assistants that help them work faster. We stay on to run it, then move on to the next process.

05Questions

Questions we are asked.

Is Agency AI based in Glasgow?

Yes. Agency AI is based in Glasgow, Scotland.

What is the difference between an AI agency and an AI consultancy?

A consultancy advises on where AI should be used. An agency builds the systems. We do both, with the same senior engineers, so the advice reflects what it takes to run a system in production.

How is this different from Microsoft Copilot?

Copilot helps individuals write and search faster inside Microsoft 365. We build systems that complete a defined piece of work from start to finish, such as reading an order and entering it into Business Central, using your rules and your data.

Is our data safe?

Yes. Every system runs inside your own cloud tenancy and uses the same permissions as your people, nothing more. Each action the AI takes is validated and logged, and anything uncertain is held for a member of your team to decide.

Do we need our own data team?

No. We build and maintain the data connections each system needs. From your side, we need the people who know the process and can make decisions about it.

What if it doesn't pay back?

The roadmap sets out the expected return before anything is built, and the first project is deliberately small: one process, measured against the work it replaced. If the return is not there, we will say so before you spend on the build.

How long until something is live?

The first system is typically in production within weeks. We start with the process where the return is clearest and expand from there. See how long AI implementation takes.

Do you work with businesses outside Glasgow?

Yes. We work with businesses across Scotland, including Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen, and across the UK. We come on site for discovery and go-live.
