AI operations · United Kingdom

Put an intelligence to work inside your business.

Seraph Industries embeds AI into the day-to-day running of real companies: triaging the inbox, pricing the work, writing the reports. To your standards, in your systems, checked before anything reaches a client.


The hidden cost

Where the working week actually goes.

The hours that eat a working week are rarely the ones a client ever sees. Setting up job folders. Renaming and filing documents. Copying the same details into three different systems. Formatting reports. Chasing sign-offs. Typing up quotes from scribbled notes. Logging invoices. None of it needs a human. All of it currently gets one.

40%+

of workers spend at least a quarter of their week on manual, repetitive tasks: data entry, filing, and status chasing.

What we build

An operations layer that does the work, not a chatbot that talks about it.

Every system below is running today inside a client business, built on Claude and wired into the files, folders and mailboxes the team already uses.

TRIAGE

Inbox triage & routing

Every mailbox read, classified and routed. Instructions become job folders, enquiries become draft quotes, and nothing sits unanswered.

PRICE

Quotations & tender pricing

Quotes and tender submissions built from your current rates, your master letter and your live terms, never from a stale copy in an old folder.

DELIVER

Reports & client documents

Survey reports, RAMS and cost letters, constructed from scratch in code to your house standard so nothing from a previous job can leak in.

REMEMBER

Institutional memory

How your business actually works: rates, rules, phrasing, exceptions. Captured as a living, versioned body of knowledge the AI reads before every task.

VERIFY

Verification pipelines

Every output passes automated checks before a human ever sees it. A rule the AI could talk itself around becomes code that can't be.

OPERATE

Scheduled operations

The routine work runs on a clock: corpus syncs, morning triage, chase-ups. The system is already working when your team sits down.

Process

How an engagement runs.

We don't sell software. We move into your business, learn it properly, and leave behind a system your team drives in plain English.

Review & quotation

Every business is different, so we start with a structured review of yours: where the hours actually go, which processes are mechanical, and where automation pays for itself fastest. You get a written plan and a fixed, itemised quote before any build work begins. No open-ended billing.

Immersion

We ingest what your business already knows: the document archive, the email history, the folder structure, the way jobs actually flow. The AI learns from what you've shipped, not from what a manual claims.

Context engineering

The unwritten rules get written: pricing logic, house style, who decides what, the exceptions everyone carries in their head. This becomes the source of truth the AI works from, owned by you.

Automation

We build the pipelines: triage, quoting, document production, job setup. Each one produces work in your voice, in your templates, in your folders. Indistinguishable from your best day.

Verification

Every mistake becomes a rule; every mechanical rule becomes code. Outputs are checked by an automated gate before delivery, and the gate only ever gets stricter.

Handover

Your team runs the system by talking to it. Corrections stick: say it once and the standard is updated, reconciled and enforced from then on. We stay on hand as it compounds.

Case study

A structural surveying consultancy, run with an AI operations layer.

A UK concrete inspection and testing firm with decades of archives, hundreds of live and pending jobs, six mailboxes, and a small team carrying every standard in their heads.

Seraph built the full stack: a synced corpus of the company's entire email history, a codified knowledge base of how the firm prices, surveys and reports, and pipelines that triage the inbox, set up jobs, price tenders and construct survey reports to the house standard, each one passing an automated verification gate before a human signs it off.

The directors correct the system in conversation, and the correction becomes permanent. The knowledge base is now the firm's single source of truth.

Principles

Why it holds up in a real business.

Nothing invented

If a fact can't be corroborated from your own records, it's left out, never guessed. A document that's silent is correct; one that guesses is a liability.

Everything verified

Checklists get skimmed; code doesn't. Anything mechanically checkable is enforced by a script that fails the build, not a promise in prose.

Corrections compound

When you correct the system once, the old rule is found and deleted everywhere it lived. The same mistake doesn't come back wearing different clothes.

You own the brain

The knowledge base lives in your files, readable by your people, in plain English. No black box, no platform lock-in, no subscription holding your operations hostage.

Pricing

Agreed before we start. No surprises after.

Three stages, each priced up front. You'll never receive an open-ended hourly bill.

01 · The review £450 credited against your build

A structured review of where your hours go and where automation pays. You get a written plan and an itemised quote, useful even if you go no further.

02 · The build Fixed quote itemised per phase

Every phase of the build priced in the quote before work begins. The scope is written down, and the price is the price.

03 · The care plan From £150 / month

Software shifts constantly and an unmaintained system quietly rots. We monitor yours, fix what breaks, and keep it current. Plans scale with the size of the system, not a one-size fee.

Care plan tiers

Essential

£150 / mo

For smaller setups. We monitor the system, fix what breaks, and keep it compatible as the software around it updates. Support by email.

Standard

£290 / mo

Everything in Essential, plus improvement hours every month for new rules, tweaks and additions, and priority response when you need us.

Complete

£490 / mo

For systems running core operations. Ongoing improvement work, same-day response when something is wrong, and a quarterly review of where automation can pay next.

Your care plan is recommended in the review, starts at handover, and can be cancelled with a month's notice. The system, and the knowledge base behind it, are yours either way.

Contact

Most businesses run on work nobody wants to do. Hand it over.

An initial conversation is free and specific: bring the process that eats your week, and we'll tell you honestly whether an AI operations layer can carry it.

We reply within one working day.
