04 / AI SYSTEMS
AI is useful when it has
a specific job.
We build practical AI systems around the way your business already operates: researching, organising information, triaging email, preparing routine work and supporting customer or internal workflows.

Start with the work, then choose the system.
Assistants & email triage
Bring priorities, routine responses and items awaiting approval into a more useful flow.
Research & preparation
Gather relevant information, prepare briefings and organise the context needed for a person’s next decision.
Knowledge & workflow support
Help people find and use relevant information, with access, escalation and review boundaries appropriate to the business.
HUMAN JUDGEMENT STAYS HUMAN
Know what it may do. Know what it must refer.
The useful question is not how much an assistant can do, but which job it can do appropriately. We agree the information it may use, the actions it may take and where approval or escalation is needed.
For sensitive work, access, storage, third-party services and AI providers are considered before implementation. AI supports administration, information handling and preparation; professional judgement and decisions remain with the professional.
A GENUINE EXAMPLE
The decisions that actually need attention.
A busy solicitor was managing several inboxes, calendars, case documents and deadlines separately. Studio DALI built a private assistant to prioritise email, handle approved routine responses, flag urgent matters and prepare briefings.

What is included in AI agent setup? ↗A PROPORTIONATE START
Useful before it becomes elaborate.
We do not build bespoke AI simply because we can. We start with an existing product and a sound setup; where needed, we tailor its configuration and integrate it with your tools. Bespoke AI comes next when your workflow, data, integrations, approvals, exception handling, proprietary rules or operating context call for something more specific.
Testing, guidance and appropriate handover are part of the agreed work. Ongoing support is available from £240 + VAT / month if useful.

What would you want an assistant to handle?
You do not need a technical brief. Tell us what you want to improve. We’ll explain a sensible way forward, what it would involve and what it is likely to cost.
