AI agents, automations and custom internal tools, plugged into the software you already use. You don't switch tools. You just stop doing by hand what can run on its own.
Hi, do you cover the Chartres area? I'd need a quote for a full kitchen fit-out.
Agent · 10:14pm
Good evening, I'm the workshop's assistant. Yes, we cover Chartres. I've logged your request and held a slot on Tuesday at 9:30am to take measurements. Shall I confirm?

(1)The problem
Your team isn't slow. Your tools are.
Three leaks you'll find in almost every small business, whatever the trade. Fixing them is a one-off. Living with them costs every month. The figures below are estimates: we replace them with your real numbers during the audit.
0
replies when an enquiry lands out of hours
Enquiries arrive when you're not there
A missed call at 8am, an email on Saturday, a form at 10pm. The customer who gets no answer calls the next name on the list. You never see what you just lost.
15h
a week of admin done by hand (estimate)
Everything goes through one person
Quotes to retype, follow-ups to send, invoices to reconcile, a spreadsheet to update. Time that produces nothing, and the whole company slows down the moment that person is away.
4
tools that don't talk to each other, on average
Your tools don't talk, and you pay for it
The same information typed in three times, an £80-a-month subscription for a feature nobody uses, and a homemade spreadsheet holding it all together. Often, one internal tool replaces all three.
(2)What I build
Three ways to give you back your time.
Three crafts, three systems. Most projects start with one, then the others follow because they plug into it.
01
AI agents
An assistant that answers your incoming enquiries, qualifies them, sorts them and books the meetings. On email, WhatsApp, your website or the phone.
Replies in under 2 minutes, around the clock
Always states that it's an AI assistant
You decide what it handles alone
A customer, Saturday 10:14pm
Do you cover Chartres? I'd need a quote.
02
Process automation
Quotes, follow-ups, invoices, CRM, calendar, reporting: whatever needs no human judgement happens without you. Your current tools stay exactly where they are.
No more double entry between tools
Follow-ups that send themselves
Alerts and hand-back if something fails
Your Monday review
2 quotes won overnight, 7 enquiries sorted, 1 case for you.
03
Web apps & internal tools
When no software does what you actually do, I build it. One screen for the whole team, instead of the shared spreadsheet and the subscription nobody uses.
Web and mobile, role-based access
Connected to the data you already have
You own it, with no subscription
The workshop, Tuesday 9am
Everyone sees the same schedule. Nobody rings up to ask any more.
In practice, that covers
Six places where money and time stall.
You don't need all six. We start with the one costing you the most.

(3)What it costs
What it costs you, in euros.
Two leaks, two numbers. It's an estimate worked out in your browser, not a promise: we check it against your real figures during the audit.
Assumption: 25% more quotes won thanks to automatic follow-ups on day 2 and day 7. That's the smallest gap seen when follow-up goes from « when I remember » to systematic.
Indicative simulation, calculated in your browser. Nothing is sent or stored.
Three steps. You always know what you're paying for.
No tunnel where you discover the result at the end. You sign off before each step.

The call
We look at what's eating your time and whether I can help. If your problem isn't an automation problem, I'll say so on the call and we stop there. You've lost 30 minutes.

2€400 · 3 h
The audit
I go through your processes and hand you a costed report: every automation on the table, what it costs to build, what it returns per year. Deducted from the build if we continue, refunded if I find nothing worth doing.

I build it, install it on your tools or your infrastructure, test it on your real cases and train your team. You sign off each piece before the next one. Optional monthly supervision afterwards, cancel any time.
[ installation ][ training ]
One person from first call to go-live. No project manager to pay for.
(5)Examples
What it actually looks like.
Four trades, four different systems. This isn't the same agent four times over: it's what actually runs for each of them, rebuilt from situations seen on real projects.

What my clients say
Projects delivered for companies and agencies. They tell you who you're trusting to build your system. Measured results from the automations will follow as clients allow me to publish them.
« He understood what I needed very quickly, proposed a clear structure and delivered clean work that's easy to maintain on my own. You can tell he knows his craft and doesn't oversell what he can't do. »
« I've worked with Brice several times and I recommend him without hesitation. Fast, flexible and genuinely invested, he doesn't just deliver a tool: he builds something that actually serves your business. Results every time. »
« We've worked with Brice regularly at Bolster Group. Around ten projects so far, freelance, with the same standard every time, including when several projects were running in parallel. Responsive, meticulous, and always bringing ideas. He's the kind of contractor you can rely on without having to supervise everything. »

(9)FAQ
The questions people actually ask me.
What does it cost, all in?
The audit costs €400 for 3 hours, and it's the only price I publish: it's the only one I can set without having listened to you. It ends with a firm quote for everything else, automation by automation, with what each one returns. You know the exact figure before committing to anything, and the audit is deducted if we continue. No hourly billing, no mid-project extras.
We're not a « tech » company. Is this going to be too complicated for us?
That's exactly why this service exists. You never touch the code or the automations: you keep your tools and carry on working in your usual inbox, calendar and software. What changes is that the repetitive work happens without you.
Do we have to change our quoting software or CRM?
No. The system is built around the tools you already have. If your software has an API or an export, we plug into it. If it doesn't, I'll propose the cheapest way round during the audit, without forcing a migration on you.
Do you build websites too?
Not really any more. I only do it when the site is part of a larger system, for example a page that feeds an agent or an internal tool. If what you want is a brochure site, I'll point you to someone who does that for a living.
Where is my data and where do the automations run?
With you by default: the automations run on your accounts and your tools, and the data never leaves your environment. If you'd rather I host them, that's on European servers, and you keep the access. Either way, you can take the whole thing over without me.
Am I locked into a subscription?
No. The build is a one-off payment and you own it. Monthly supervision is optional and can be cancelled any time. What remains is the subscriptions to your own tools, which you already pay for, and sometimes a few euros of API usage. I price those in the audit.
A robot talking to my customers, doesn't that look bad?
The agent says in its first message that it's an assistant: that's a legal requirement (EU AI Act). What your customers remember is that someone answered in two minutes instead of three days. And you decide what it handles alone and what always comes to you.
What if it breaks?
Every automation is monitored: if something fails, I'm alerted, so are you, and the case lands back in your inbox. You never lose an enquiry. Monthly supervision exists for those who'd rather I handle that continuously.
How long before we see a result?
The first piece is usually live within one to two weeks: we always pick the one that installs fast and pays off immediately. A complete system takes about a month, in phases you sign off.
Why you rather than an agency?
An agency sells you hours, I hand you a system that runs. I use AI and automation in my own business every day: I only sell what I already run. One person, from first call to go-live, with no project management layer to fund.
And if it turns out not to suit us?
The 30-minute call is free and commits you to nothing. The audit is refunded if I find nothing worth doing. After that the project moves in phases you sign off one by one, so you watch the system get built.
