Practical AI for small and mid-sized businesses
I help growing companies turn AI into tools their teams actually use: local and desktop apps, standalone solutions, and integrations with Microsoft 365, Azure, SharePoint, and the services you already run. Well-architected, sized to your budget, and easy for your team to own.
AI in the form that fits your business
Not every company needs a big cloud platform. Depending on your data, budget, and team, I build AI solutions that run on your own machines, install on desktops, stand on their own, or plug into the systems you already have.
Local and private AI apps
AI that runs on your own machines or network, so sensitive data never leaves the building.
- Local language models and document Q&A
- Works offline or on a private network
- No per-user cloud AI licences needed
Desktop apps
Installable Windows and macOS apps built with Electron, with AI features your team opens like any other tool.
- One codebase for Windows and macOS
- Works with local files and folders
- Auto-updates and simple rollout
Standalone solutions
Self-contained web apps, agents, and tools that solve one business problem end to end.
- Focused tools for a single process
- Hosted where it suits you
- Quick to pilot, easy to hand over
Integrated solutions
AI added to the systems you already run: Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Teams, Azure, and other services through their APIs.
- Copilot agents and Graph connectors
- Connections to CRM, ERP, and line-of-business apps
- Automated flows between services
Services
From a single AI assistant to a full intranet, every engagement is sized to what an SME actually needs, on the Microsoft and Azure stack I know best.
