OpenClaw & AI Agents
OpenClaw Multi-Agent Workforce — The "Ultron" Pattern
Challenge
A professional services firm needed to scale operations without hiring. Key team members were spending 60% of time on email triage, research, document preparation, and CRM updates — tasks that required intelligence but not human judgment.
Solution
Deployed a team of OpenClaw "replicant" agents, each with dedicated roles (email triage, research, document processing, CRM management), orchestrated by a meta-agent supervisor using the "Ultron" pattern. Running on Mac Studio hardware with local models for routine tasks and Claude for complex reasoning.

On-Prem AI Deployment — Private LLMs on Mac Studio
Challenge
A regulated financial services firm wanted AI capabilities but could not send client data to cloud LLM providers. Compliance required all data processing to remain within their physical premises. Existing cloud AI tools were blocked by the compliance team.
Solution
Deployed OpenClaw on Apple Mac Studio hardware running local language models for all routine AI tasks. Cloud LLMs used only for non-sensitive reasoning with strict data filtering. Full audit trails, access controls, and GDPR-compliant architecture. Zero data leaves the building.
A consulting firm's partners each received 200+ emails per day. Critical client messages were buried under newsletters, internal updates, and vendor communications. Response times averaged 8 hours for high-priority enquiries.
Solution
Deployed an OpenClaw email triage agent that reads, categorises, and prioritises every incoming message. Drafts responses for routine enquiries, escalates urgent items via Slack, and maintains a daily briefing summarising everything that needs human attention.

Multi-Partner Accountancy Practice AI Workflow Transformation
Challenge
A 12-partner chartered accountancy practice with 85 staff across 3 offices was drowning in manual processes. Tax return preparation consumed 40% of fee-earner time, client email response averaged 36 hours, and the firm was losing clients to cloud-first competitors offering real-time dashboards and proactive advisory.
Solution
Deployed an AI-powered document ingestion pipeline that auto-classifies bank statements, receipts, and invoices into accounting categories. Implemented AI-drafted client correspondence with partner review, automated MTD-compliant VAT return preparation, and a client-facing AI chatbot for routine queries (deadlines, document submissions, payment status).
Garden Centre Group AI Inventory & Customer Re-Engagement
Challenge
A 4-site garden centre group with café operations was losing 22% of seasonal customers year-on-year without detection. Manual stock ordering led to 18% wastage on perishable plants and seasonal items, and the loyalty programme had a 6% engagement rate with generic monthly emails that most customers ignored.
Solution

Plumbing & HVAC Company AI Emergency Dispatch & Scheduling
Challenge
A 35-engineer plumbing and HVAC company covering South Wales was losing 18% of emergency call-outs to slow response — dispatchers manually calling engineers to check availability, while urgent boiler breakdowns waited. Routine job scheduling was a whiteboard-and-spreadsheet operation consuming 3 hours daily, and customer no-shows on maintenance appointments cost £42K annually.
Solution
Deployed an AI dispatch and scheduling platform that auto-triages incoming calls by urgency (gas leak vs routine service), identifies the nearest available engineer with the right skills and parts inventory, and dispatches within 90 seconds.

Multi-Site Veterinary Group — AI Triage, Client Communication & Clinical Records
Challenge
A four-practice veterinary group across South Wales was losing 18% of emergency calls to voicemail during peak hours. Vets spent 25 minutes per consultation on clinical notes. Client follow-up after procedures was inconsistent, leading to 22% of post-surgical check-ups being missed. Prescription reminders for chronic conditions (arthritis, diabetes) were manually tracked on spreadsheets.
Solution
Deployed an AI-powered phone triage system that assesses urgency from symptom descriptions, routes emergencies immediately, and schedules routine appointments. Implemented voice-to-structured clinical notes integrated with their practice management system.

Travel & Tourism
Independent Travel Agency Group — AI Itinerary Intelligence & Client Retention
Challenge
A 6-branch independent travel agency across the South West was losing 40% of enquiries to slow response times (average 8 hours). Building bespoke itineraries took advisors 4-6 hours each. Post-trip follow-up was inconsistent — only 25% of clients received personalised rebooking outreach. Repeat booking rate had stagnated at 32%.
Solution
Implemented AI-powered enquiry management that qualifies and responds to leads within 5 minutes, 24/7, with destination-aware personalised messages. Deployed itinerary intelligence that generates complete draft trip plans from a brief — advisors polish the AI draft rather than building from scratch. Built automated pre-departure communication sequences and post-trip engagement workflows with predictive rebooking suggestions based on travel history and preferences.
Regional Print & Signage Group — AI Prepress Automation & Production Scheduling
Challenge
A 3-site print and signage group processing 150+ jobs per day was losing £35,000 annually to reprints from undetected artwork errors. Prepress operators spent 6 hours daily on manual file checks. Quoting complex signage jobs took 24-48 hours — causing 30% of prospects to go elsewhere. Production scheduling relied on one experienced manager's knowledge, creating a dangerous single point of failure.
Solution
Deployed AI-powered preflight automation that analyses uploaded artwork in seconds — checking resolution, colour mode, bleed, fonts, and substrate compatibility. Built an intelligent quoting engine trained on 3 years of historical job data that generates accurate estimates within minutes. Implemented AI production scheduling that optimises job sequencing across digital, litho, and wide-format machines for minimal changeover time and maximum throughput.
Contract Catering Company — AI Allergen Management & Demand Forecasting
Challenge
A contract caterer serving 15 corporate and education sites was managing allergen compliance across 400+ recipes using spreadsheets. Two near-miss allergen incidents in 12 months triggered an urgent review. Food waste ran at 14% — well above the 8% industry benchmark. Menu planning took the head chef 12+ hours per week, and HACCP audit preparation consumed 3 weeks annually.
Solution
Implemented AI allergen intelligence that continuously tracks ingredient specifications against all 14 major allergens, auto-generating Natasha's Law compliant labels and flagging any recipe changes that alter allergen profiles. Deployed demand forecasting AI trained on 2 years of site-specific consumption data, weather, school calendars, and corporate booking patterns. Built automated HACCP monitoring with IoT temperature sensors and AI-generated audit documentation.
E-Commerce Fulfilment Company — AI Order Routing & Inventory Optimisation
Challenge
A multi-warehouse e-commerce fulfilment provider processing 8,000+ orders daily was struggling with suboptimal order routing — defaulting to nearest-warehouse logic that ignored real-time stock levels, carrier costs, and delivery deadlines. Split shipments ran at 18%, driving up packaging and shipping costs. Inventory forecasting relied on spreadsheets updated weekly, leading to frequent stockouts on fast-moving SKUs and overstock on slow movers.
Solution
Deployed an AI order routing engine that evaluates stock availability, carrier pricing, delivery SLA requirements, and warehouse workload in real-time before assigning each order. Built demand forecasting models trained on 3 years of sales data, seasonality, marketing calendars, and external signals (weather, social trends). Implemented automated reorder point calculation with dynamic safety stock levels adjusted daily.
A regional waste operator running 35 collection vehicles across South Wales and the West of England was losing £280K annually to inefficient fixed routes, with 22% of recycling loads contaminated above threshold. Manual route planning took 4 hours daily, fuel costs were climbing, and Environment Agency compliance reporting consumed 2 full-time staff.
Solution
Deployed AI-powered dynamic route optimisation that generates daily collection plans based on fill-level predictions, traffic patterns, and vehicle capacity. Installed computer vision cameras on 12 collection vehicles to detect contamination at the point of collection, automatically generating customer notifications with photographic evidence. Built automated compliance reporting covering duty-of-care transfer notes, waste data flows, and carbon tracking.
Mixed Farming Estate — AI Crop Monitoring, Livestock Health & Yield Optimisation
Challenge
A 2,400-acre mixed farming estate across Oxfordshire was relying on manual field inspections that missed early-stage crop disease in 35% of cases. Livestock health monitoring depended on twice-daily visual checks, missing overnight lameness and illness onset. Yield forecasting was based on gut feel and historical averages, leading to £180K in annual waste from over-application of fertiliser and poor harvest timing.
Solution
Deployed drone-based multispectral imaging with AI crop health analysis covering all arable fields fortnightly, detecting nutrient deficiency and disease 10–14 days before visible symptoms. Installed AI-powered livestock monitoring using collar sensors and camera systems in barns to detect lameness, respiratory issues, and calving onset automatically. Built a yield prediction model integrating soil data, weather forecasts, satellite imagery, and historical performance to optimise input application and harvest scheduling.
UK Export Consultancy — AI Translation, Localisation & Market Intelligence
Challenge
A 40-person UK export consultancy helping SMEs sell into European and Middle Eastern markets was bottlenecked by manual translation processes. Each client engagement required product catalogue translation, regulatory document localisation, and market-specific sales material adaptation across 6 languages. Translation agency costs averaged £4,200 per client, turnaround was 3–4 weeks, and inconsistent terminology caused customs delays on 12% of shipments.
Solution
Built an AI-powered localisation pipeline using LLMs with domain-specific glossaries for each target market. The system handles product descriptions, regulatory declarations, customs documentation, and marketing materials — maintaining consistent terminology across all outputs. Integrated automated compliance checking for EU product labelling requirements, CE marking documentation, and Arabic-market halal certification language. Added AI market intelligence agents that monitor trade data, tariff changes, and competitor activity in target markets.

Mobile Valeting Franchise — AI Route Planning, Dynamic Pricing & Customer Retention
Challenge
A 35-van mobile car valeting franchise across South Wales and the West of England was losing 22% of potential revenue to poor route planning, inconsistent pricing, and manual booking management. Technicians averaged 4.2 jobs per day against a theoretical capacity of 6.5. No-show rates hit 18%, and customer rebooking was managed entirely through manual follow-up calls — capturing only 35% repeat business in a sector where 60%+ is the benchmark.
Solution
Deployed an AI scheduling and route optimisation system that clusters bookings by geography and time, dynamically adjusts pricing based on demand, weather, and vehicle type, and automates customer lifecycle communications. The system predicts no-show probability per booking and either double-books high-risk slots or sends targeted confirmation sequences. AI-powered upselling recommends additional services based on vehicle age, previous services, and seasonal factors.

Solution
Deployed AI demand forecasting linked to EPOS, weather, and local event data; automated allergen labelling with real-time recipe-to-label sync; predictive ingredient ordering; and an online pre-order system feeding directly into the next morning's production plan.
Multi-Site Barbershop Group — AI Booking, No-Show Recovery & Client Intelligence
Challenge
A group of 5 barbershops across Cardiff and Newport relied entirely on walk-ins and phone bookings. No-show rate averaged 18%, costing an estimated £85K/year across all sites. Client preferences existed only in individual barbers' memories, and Google review counts lagged behind competitors.
Solution
Deployed AI-powered online booking with intelligent gap-filling and wait-time estimation for walk-ins, automated no-show prevention with 48h + 2h reminders and one-tap reschedule, centralised client preference profiles synced across all locations, and automated post-visit review requests.
