New to AI

New to AI? Think of it as a very capable assistant.

You talk to it in normal words, typed or spoken, and it reads, finds, fills in and drafts for you. You don't need to learn it. I set it up for your practice.

I'm an architect with a small practice. I started using it to keep on top of my own projects, when there were too many jobs and loose ends. It's given me back hours and a clear head.

You ask · it answersExample
You, typing or talking

Did the client agree to move the kitchen window?

She asked for it, but it isn't agreed yet. She raised it in her email of 3 March. The revised drawing hasn't gone to her.

Found in: her email, 3 March · your site note, 10 March
You

Draft her a short reply with the revised drawing.

Done. The reply explains the change and asks her to confirm.

Draft ready for you to check · nothing is sent
Made-up example. The client and dates aren't real.
In plain English

An assistant you talk to. Not a program you have to learn.

AI, the kind behind ChatGPT, reads and writes ordinary language. You ask it something the way you'd ask a colleague, and it answers the same way.

On its own it only knows general things. What makes it useful in an office is giving it your projects to work from. Then it can answer about your jobs, not just the internet.

In a small practice

What it could take off your plate.

Four everyday jobs it does in my office. Each one used to mean digging, retyping or starting from a blank page.

01 · Find

Find what a client agreed to

Ask a question instead of scrolling through old emails. It tells you what it found, and in which email or note.

02 · Start

Start a new job's folder

Tell it about a new client. It sets up the project folder, saves their details from the email, and lists what's still needed to start.

03 · Fill in

Fill in council forms

It fills in the forms from details you already have on file, and tells you what's still missing.

04 · Draft

Draft a reply or a proposal

It writes a first draft in the way your office writes. You read it, change what you like, and send it yourself.

What stays with you

You stay in charge. It does the legwork.

  • You check and decide. It prepares things. You approve anything that goes to a client or the council.
  • It can make mistakes. That's why it shows where it found each answer, so you can check it quickly.
  • Nothing goes out by itself. Emails and forms wait as drafts until you're happy with them.
  • We agree what it works from. You decide which files and information it can use.
Fair questionsPlain answers

Do I need to be good with computers?

No. If you can send an email or a voice note, you can use it.

Do I have to learn it or set it up?

No. I set it up around the way your office already works, and show you and your team how to use it.

What if it gets something wrong?

It can. So it shows you where each answer came from, and a person checks before anything goes out.

If you get in touch

What happens next.

No pressure and no jargon. Just a conversation about your office.

  1. A short free chatThirty minutes. You tell me how your office runs and what's eating your time.
  2. I look at how your office worksWhere your project information lives, what gets retyped, and where things slip through.
  3. I suggest one thing worth setting up firstSomething small and useful to start with. If it isn't a good fit, I'll tell you.
You don't have to set it up yourself

I'll set it up for your practice.

You don't need to understand AI to get the benefit. Tell me which part of the week you'd like back, and we'll start there.

Wrong starting point?
