Use AI inside a workflow your team can supervise.
Combine information processing with business rules, system connections and review steps. Keep the workflow understandable when an input is incomplete or a model output is uncertain.

Overview
AI Workflow Automation, explained
AI workflow automation handles the steps that traditional automation cannot: reading an email to understand what the sender wants, extracting data from a messy attachment or deciding which team should handle a request. AI makes the judgement, and the workflow makes sure the result is checked and acted on.
We start with one workflow, define what the AI decides and what a person reviews, then measure accuracy and time saved during a pilot. Our invoice processing system, built with a team in Estonia, is an example of structured approval workflows that AI-assisted capture can extend.
Before you build
Decisions worth settling first
Settling these points early keeps scope realistic and makes the estimate meaningful.
01
Decision points
Identify which steps require reading or judgement and which follow rules.
02
Confidence thresholds
Decide when the AI can proceed and when a person must review.
03
Test examples
Gather real inputs with correct outcomes to measure accuracy.
04
Integrations
List systems the workflow reads from and writes to.
05
Audit needs
Define what must be logged for compliance and troubleshooting.
06
Pilot measures
Agree accuracy, review rate and time saved targets.

Engineers who build
Recommendations come from the people who design, code and support the software, so they reflect real implementation effort.
Visible progress
A shared backlog, regular demos and recorded decisions keep you informed without chasing updates.
Practical AI
Evaluation sets, review steps, cost limits and monitoring are part of every AI feature we ship.
Flexible engagement
Start with a scoped project, a dedicated team or support, and change the model as your roadmap evolves.
Clear ownership
Repositories and accounts can live in your organisation, with IP and confidentiality terms agreed in the contract.
Industries
Where this work fits
Retail and Ecommerce
Build web and mobile journeys around product discovery, ordering and customer service.

Cost
What shapes the cost of your project?
There is no useful price without scope. These are the factors we review when preparing an estimate, and the estimate lists every assumption so you can see what would change it.
01
Number of workflows
Each workflow needs its own prompts, tools, evaluation set and review design.
02
Data preparation
Cleaning, labelling, chunking and access rules often take more effort than the model itself.
03
Integrations
Connections to CRMs, ERPs, document stores and identity providers add design and testing work.
04
Evaluation and review
Building test sets, review queues and monitoring is essential for reliable results.
05
Model and hosting
Hosted APIs, open models and private deployment have very different setup and running costs.
06
Security and compliance
Sensitive data, audit needs and data residency add controls and documentation.
Engagement models
Choose the engagement that fits your next step.
Dedicated Team
For a changing roadmap or ongoing development. Agree roles and working process, then manage priorities through a shared backlog.
Best for team extension and long-term product work.
Scoped Project
For a defined product or milestone. Align on requirements, deliverables and acceptance criteria, with changes reviewed before they affect the plan.
Best for MVPs, integrations and focused releases.
Maintenance and Improvement
For software that already exists. Start with a technical review, then agree support routines and planned improvements.
Best for live applications and modernisation.
FAQ
Questions about AI workflow automation
How accurate does the AI need to be?
It depends on the cost of errors. With review queues, even moderate accuracy saves time, while high-confidence items flow straight through.
What if the AI makes a mistake?
Low-confidence results go to review, every action is logged and errors feed back into improvements.
Can we start small?
Yes. We recommend one workflow pilot with clear measures before expanding.
Which systems can you connect?
Email, document storage, ERP, CRM, helpdesk and databases through APIs or integration tools.
Does this replace our current workflow tool?
Not necessarily. AI steps can be added to existing workflow platforms.
How do we know it is working?
Dashboards show volume, automation rate, review rate and processing time.
Can we begin with a focused scope?
Yes. We can review your current situation and agree a bounded first engagement before a wider build.
How are pricing and timelines determined?
We review requirements, technical complexity, team needs and delivery constraints before proposing an engagement. Estimates list assumptions and what may change the plan.
Can we discuss a project under an NDA?
Yes. Let us know before sharing confidential materials so we can agree confidentiality terms first.
