North Yorkshire · remote, and honest about it
AI Consultant North Yorkshire
Who can help a small business in North Yorkshire with AI?
Dean Keating helps small businesses in North Yorkshire put AI to work, including firms in York, Harrogate, Scarborough, Skipton, Ripon and Northallerton. He is based in Horndean, Hampshire, so all of his North Yorkshire work is remote. He builds AI agents that handle bookings, guest and customer messages and back-office admin, and he installs and supports them himself. Book the free first call on WhatsApp on 07418 627304.
I’m Dean, and I’m about as far from North Yorkshire as you can get in England without a boat. I’m telling you that first so you can judge the rest fairly.
North Yorkshire
A big county where the nearest help is an hour away
North Yorkshire is England’s largest county and one of its emptiest. A guest house in Whitby, a farm shop near Thirsk or a holiday cottage business in the Dales cannot easily hire part-time office help, so the owner answers every message personally, usually late at night.
- ✕ Guest messages answered at midnight, after a full day’s work.
- ✕ Bookings from three websites reconciled by hand to avoid a double booking.
- ✕ Suppliers and tradespeople arranged by phone across long distances.
- ✕ The quiet months lost to catching up, not to planning the next season.

Working together
You already work with people you never meet
Your booking platform, your card provider and probably your accountant are all somewhere else, and it works. This is the same. I connect to your systems with a login you control, show you the agent handling real messages on a call, and stay on the end of WhatsApp afterwards. The miles in between change nothing about the result.
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 keep it running. You keep the time and the savings.

Sales & follow-up
Every enquiry answered and every lead chased — even at 11pm on a Sunday.
Marketing & content
Your marketing keeps ticking over, even in your busiest week.
Admin & data entry
Your records stay up to date without anyone touching a keyboard.
Invoicing & finance
Invoices go out on time, and the overdue ones chase themselves.
Reporting & ops
The numbers you actually need, in your inbox, with nobody building a spreadsheet.
FAQ
What North Yorkshire owners ask first
You are in Hampshire. Why would I use you?
Fair question. There are AI consultants in York and Harrogate and you should talk to them too. Use me if you want the thing built and running, by one person who answers his own messages, and you are happy to do it by video call.
Do you ever visit North Yorkshire?
No. I won’t promise visits I am not going to make. Everything is done remotely, and I’d sooner lose the work than mislead you about that.
Can an agent manage bookings from several websites?
It can watch each site, keep one calendar correct, send the right arrival details and flag a clash before it becomes a double booking. Where your booking system already syncs calendars, the agent works on top of that.
Will guests know they are talking to AI?
That is your decision. Many owners have the agent draft replies in their own voice and send the routine ones itself, with anything personal or awkward passed to them. I’ll set it up whichever way you are comfortable with.
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 log into the tools you already use and do the actual job — the same clicks and keystrokes your staff make now, start to finish. Answering the website is one small thing they can do, not the point of them.
