Making AI Work for Your Business

You don't need to understand the technology to benefit from it. I help small businesses in Herefordshire and Worcestershire use AI in practical, affordable ways: without the jargon or confusion. Transparent pricing, responsible AI governance, and focused on what actually matters to you.

Welcome

Discover the Power of AI Tailored to Your Business

I'm Nicola Hastings, and I'm passionate about making AI accessible and practical for small business owners who feel overwhelmed by the technology. With a Master's degree in Interactive Media and over a decade of experience in web design and development, I understand both the technical possibilities and the real-world challenges businesses face. I specialise in translating AI's potential into practical solutions that save you time, reduce costs, and improve your customer experience.

Whether you’re just beginning to explore AI or ready to implement custom solutions, I provide hands-on training and implementation support designed around how your business operates. Every service is customised to your unique workflows and challenges – because AI shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. Let’s work together to build your confidence and transform your business.

I help small businesses make sense of AI and actually use it.

AI Education Workshops

Practical workshops that help you understand AI concepts and show you exactly how to apply them to your business. You'll learn the fundamentals, explore practical applications and gain confidence with chatGPT and other AI tools, all with real examples relevant to your work. No jargon, just expert guidance and useful resources you can take away.

AI Implementation Strategies

Ready to put AI to work? I'll help you design and integrate AI solutions that streamline your operations. Whether it's automating repetitive tasks or integrating AI into your existing workflows, we'll create strategies that deliver measurable results and give you a competitive edge.

Bottleneck Analysis

Not sure where to start? I can identify and address the productivity bottlenecks in your business with a comprehensive analysis. I will assess your workflows, pinpoint inefficiencies, and recommend AI-powered solutions to optimise performance and free up your time. You'll get clear recommendations tailored to your specific situation.
