Animation: a business runs on spreadsheets, message threads and paper. The Appening Now square logo tries to roll and cannot. It is rebuilt into a wheel, rolls along a road, and becomes a working operations tool with jobs, quotes and invoices in one place.

Bespoke AI tools, Essex

We build AI tools from scratch. Owned by you.

Built around how you already work, and yours to keep. No monthly fee to somebody else's platform.

What's eating your week?

01

I spend my whole day chasing people.

One board with every job you are waiting on, and a list each morning of the ones that have gone quiet.

02

I have no idea what is actually going on.

One screen with today's numbers on it, and a message on your phone when one of them looks wrong.

See how it went →
03

My team retype the same things all day.

The retyping stops happening. Someone gets told on the rare occasion it needs a person.

See how it went →
04

My website looks nothing like the business I actually run.

A site that carries the same standard as the work, with the part that earns you the most out in front instead of buried.

See how it went →
05

People land on the site and never get in touch.

A clear route to enquire for each kind of customer you serve, landing with the person who should answer it.

06

All my business happens in DMs and I lose track of it.

The enquiry arrives where you already answer, carrying everything you need to quote it right first time.

If it is none of these, tell us what it is and we will say whether it is worth building. Sometimes the answer is that it isn't.

How it goes

1

We listen

You show us how the work actually runs today. We find where the time goes.

2

You see it in week one

A working version you can click, before we build the rest.

3

We build it

Fixed scope, fixed price, and you see progress the whole way.

4

It grows with you

New features when the business needs them. No starting again.

See what it costs. No sales call required.

Six tiers, published prices, each showing what an agency would quote for the same work. Most of them won't tell you until you're on a call.
