Hi, ordered a case for iPhone 14 but received one for iPhone 13. Can I swap it? Need it for a trip on Friday.

Hi Lola, sorry about that. I’ve generated a pre-paid return label for the iPhone 13 case (check your inbox) and dispatched the iPhone 14 replacement on priority shipping. It should arrive Thursday. Anything else I can sort before your trip?

Overview

What we mean by this

Most agency AI is theatre. Our rule: if it can't prove value in week four, it doesn't ship. Every AI system we build has a clear ROI attribution path and a human-review gate. AI-assisted, not AI-automated.

We build directly into your stack (Shopify, WordPress, or custom) using the Claude API and whatever tools fit the job. You own the codebase. No lock-in to our platform, because we don't have one.

Why brands pick us

Four reasons brands pick us.

Flexible, affordable packages

For every business, brand, and budget. We scope against what you actually need, not a price sheet.

One studio, six capabilities

No agency-hopping for strategy, build, and marketing. Same team, same standard, across the whole loop.

15+ years of eCommerce and WordPress

Under the bonnet. Not a freelancer pivot or a junior team learning on your project.

Measurable outcomes, not reassurance

We'll tell you which work pays back and which doesn't. Honest scoping before contracts, honest reporting after.

Approach

How we scope AI work

We start with the ROI conversation, not the tech. If a tool can't pay back within weeks of shipping, we say so.

From there, we build the smallest version that proves the model works, put it in front of the team, and iterate. No hero launches. Every AI tool in our portfolio was shipped lean first, then widened.

Common questions

Five patterns we've shipped: AI-drafted customer service (Fun Cases and Twisted Tailor run this, 50–70% of CS hours saved), AI product generators that publish a range in minutes not days, AI image pipelines for standardising lifestyle and product shots, AI competitor and inventory trackers (Sublishop), and internal search across docs/Drive/email. All measurable. No chatbot theatre.

Every output our AI produces crosses a human desk before it goes out. Humans keep the taste. AI does the bulk work. Autonomous AI fails in edge cases and erodes brand voice, so we don't ship it. The win is in human-reviewed throughput, not human-replaced pipelines.

Custom AI builds range from £1k to £15k depending on scope. Small, single-purpose tools (a content drafter, a tagging agent, a simple workflow script) land at the lower end. More involved systems (product generators with Shopify integration, live competitor tracking with alerts, internal search with RAG) land at the top. Ongoing API costs depend on volume, typically £50 to £300 per month per tool.

1–4 weeks for a single tool, 4–8 weeks for larger systems. We scope against a 'ships lean first' principle: smallest version that proves value, live in weeks, then widen based on team feedback.

You do. Every AI system we build lives in your stack, on your infrastructure, owned outright. No vendor lock-in to our platform because we don't have one. If the team wants to take it in-house and extend, the codebase is handed over clean.

Claude for most production work. It's the best available on reasoning and writing, and Anthropic's safety stance fits our 'human-in-the-loop' philosophy. We'll use other models (GPT, Gemini, open-source) where they fit a specific use case better.

Every system we build abstracts the model behind an interface. Swapping to a different provider takes days, not a rebuild. We also version-lock models so your production pipeline doesn't break when Anthropic ships a new release.

Yes. We architect around data minimisation (only the fields the model needs), use enterprise endpoints with no training opt-in, and run everything through a human review gate for customer-facing outputs. Happy to share our compliance playbook during scoping.

Usually, yes. We've taken over AI projects started by other teams, either to fix production issues or to add new capability. Start with an audit of the codebase and infrastructure before committing to scope.
