Small businesses deserve the same quality AI thinking as the big firms. Without the enterprise price tag, the jargon, or the waste.
Why we exist
We're AI experts who build and deliver.
Everyone seems to be an AI consultant these days. What they usually mean is they know how to use AI — not how to build it. We do.
That's the difference. We don't turn up with a deck and some vague promises. We turn up with engineers who've shipped production systems across healthcare, retail, fintech, and media — in-store AI avatars, real-time transcription tools, automated billing systems, generative image pipelines.
We started SimpleAI because the AI tools and thinking available to large enterprises — the kind we helped build alongside teams at Google, Microsoft, and Adobe — weren't reaching the businesses that needed them most. Small firms in Bath and Bristol. Local businesses. Growing teams without a CTO or an R&D budget, but with real operational problems AI can solve.
So we start where most consultants don't: what does your week actually look like, and which parts of it cost more time and money than they should? Then we build the thing that fixes it.
How we work
Four things that don't change, regardless of project size or scope.
Honest assessment first
We'll tell you if AI isn't the right answer. Sometimes the honest finding is that what you want to automate isn't worth automating — yet. We'd rather say that early than build something that doesn't stick.
Fixed fees, no surprises
Every project is scoped and priced before we start. You know what you're committing to. Nobody's watching the clock.
Plain English throughout
No jargon in our reports, meetings, or invoices. If we can't explain what we're building in plain terms, that's our problem, not yours.
Outcomes, not hours
We measure success by what actually changes — time saved, costs cut, leads generated. Not by how many hours we logged.
Technical depth
Under the hood, we're engineers. We build what we recommend — in production, to spec, and handed over properly. Our team has real experience across the full stack: from frontend interfaces through to cloud infrastructure, AI model integration, and payment systems.

Giving back
We do pro bono work for charities and community organisations across Bath and Bristol.

No strings, no upsell. Just honest advice from people who understand the technology.
