I’m Dean. I publish Guildford.co, the town’s local directory, but I don’t live in Guildford and I won’t pretend to. Firms based in the town are worth a call too; Guildford.co lists five, me included.
Guildford
A professional town with a lot of inbox
Guildford.co listed 38 solicitors, 27 accountants and 52 estate agents in October 2026, most of them small teams around the centre. Firms like that run on letters, documents and replies, and the people writing them are usually the ones the client is paying for.
- ✕ A solicitor or accountant chasing missing documents instead of doing the work.
- ✕ Enquiries from the website answered the next morning, after a rival has replied.
- ✕ Valuation and viewing requests booked by hand, one phone call at a time.
- ✕ The weekly figures pulled together on a Friday afternoon from three systems.

Working together
Coaching, advice or a build: what a Guildford owner can ask for
Some owners want to learn to use AI themselves, so we work through it together. Some want advice on where it fits. Most want the work taken off them, so I build it. All three start with the same free call: you share your screen, walk me through a normal week, and leave with a short list of jobs worth handing over, whether you use me or not.
Free call
A quick, no-pressure call to understand your business and where the time’s going.
The audit
I go through how the work really happens in your business, and map every repetitive task worth automating.
Build & install
I build the agents and plug them into the tools you already use — done for you, on your systems.
Train & support
I show your team how it runs, then monitor and support it as agreed.
What gets built
Six kinds of work an agent can take on
Sales & follow-up
A prompt first reply to new enquiries on your rules, then capped follow-up on a schedule you agree. It stops when they book, decline or opt out, or when a person takes over.
Admin & data entry
Routine record-keeping handled by a tested workflow, with odd cases flagged to you.
Reporting & ops
The numbers you need, pulled together from your connected data, with exceptions flagged.
Customer service
Common questions answered from information you approve; the tricky ones passed to a person.
Invoicing & finance
Invoices and payment reminders prepared on your rules, with you approving what goes out.
Marketing & content
Your marketing routine kept moving, with drafts and schedules you approve.
FAQ
What Guildford owners ask first
Are you based in Guildford?
No. I’m in Horndean, Hampshire, about 40 miles down the A3. The coaching and the builds are done by video call and on your own systems. If you want someone in the room, tell me on the first call, and look at the consultants based in the town as well.
Can you recommend other AI consultants in Guildford?
Yes. Cow-Shed, SurrAI and Wey Advisory say on their own websites that they are based in Guildford. Guildford.co’s list describes each one from its own site. It is not a ranking.
Do you offer AI coaching, or only installation?
Both, and consultancy too. If you want to learn to use AI yourself, I coach you through it. If you would rather the work was simply done, I build the agents and install them.
Is this a phone answering service?
No. The agents work in email, web forms, WhatsApp and the systems behind them. They don’t answer calls.
How much does an AI consultant cost?
It depends entirely on how much work you want taken off your plate — a single follow-up agent is a very different job to automating a whole back office. I don’t quote before I understand your setup. The first call is free, and you’ll leave it knowing what’s worth doing and roughly what’s involved, whether you use me or not.
Is this just a website chatbot?
No. A chatbot waits on your website to be asked a question. The agents I build work inside the tools you already use, once we have checked what access and integrations those tools allow. Each one runs a defined workflow that is tested with you, with approval points, and exceptions are passed to a person. Answering the website is one small thing they can do, not the point of them.
