Each links to a dedicated page: - [Sales & CRM](https://www.artellis.ie/builds/sales-and-crm): Warm leads go cold while quotes sit half-written in your drafts. Artellis builds a tool that drafts the quote and the follow-up from the thread. You just hit send. - [Marketing](https://www.artellis.ie/builds/marketing): A month of posts never gets written. There is never a spare week. Artellis builds a tool that turns one brief into a month of on-brand posts, ready for you to approve. - [Customer Support](https://www.artellis.ie/builds/customer-support): The same questions, answered from scratch all day. The answer is already in your policy. Artellis builds a tool that drafts the reply from your own docs in seconds; you check it, it sends. - [Customer Success](https://www.artellis.ie/builds/customer-success): You notice an account is unhappy when they are already halfway out the door. Artellis builds a tool that reads the signals and flags the risk weeks early, with the save-play written for you. - [Operations](https://www.artellis.ie/builds/operations): The real status of any job is scattered across five tools and three inboxes. Artellis builds a tool that pulls it into one honest status. You know what is blocked before your client asks. - [Project Management](https://www.artellis.ie/builds/project-management): Slippage stays hidden until it is a crisis. Nobody wants to write the awkward update. Artellis builds a tool that drafts the honest client update the moment a date moves; you edit and send. - [Inventory](https://www.artellis.ie/builds/inventory): You find out a line is out of stock when a customer tries to order it. Artellis builds a tool that watches run-rate and drafts the reorder before you run dry; you approve the PO. - [Scheduling](https://www.artellis.ie/builds/scheduling): A gap in next week's rota becomes a 9pm round of phone calls. Artellis builds a tool that spots the gaps and proposes cover from who is actually free, one click to confirm. - [Finance](https://www.artellis.ie/builds/finance): You lose a day a month matching invoices to the bank statement, line by line. Artellis builds a tool that matches what it can and flags only what it cannot. You review the exceptions, not everything. - [Procurement](https://www.artellis.ie/builds/procurement): Three supplier quotes, three formats, and no real way to compare them. Artellis builds a tool that puts them like-for-like and shows the true best value: the decision, logged. - [Legal & Compliance](https://www.artellis.ie/builds/legal-and-compliance): You cannot read every clause of every contract, so you sign and hope. Artellis builds a tool that flags the two clauses that matter, in plain English. Nothing auto-signs, you decide. - [HR](https://www.artellis.ie/builds/hr): Every new starter's first day is a last-minute scramble for accounts and paperwork. Artellis builds a tool that assembles the whole onboarding pack from the role. You approve, and day one is ready. - [Knowledge](https://www.artellis.ie/builds/knowledge): Your team asks the same question every week. The answer is buried in a doc somewhere. Artellis builds a tool that answers from your own wiki and links the source: answered once, for good. - [Reporting](https://www.artellis.ie/builds/reporting): Your dashboard shows the numbers, not what changed or what to do about it. Artellis builds a tool that writes the plain-English brief: what moved, what is odd, what to do next. ## Full copy - [llms-full.txt](https://www.artellis.ie/llms-full.txt): long-form pain, build, how-it-works and FAQ for every category. ## Key pages - [Home](https://www.artellis.ie/) - [Services](https://www.artellis.ie/services) - [AI consulting for Irish SMEs](https://www.artellis.ie/ai-consulting): how a six-week engagement runs, who it suits, and what is handed over. - [Invoice processing automation](https://www.artellis.ie/invoice-processing-automation): invoice and bank reconciliation that surfaces only the exceptions, with VAT checks and an audit trail. ## Direct answers to common buyer questions - [Where do I start with AI in my business?](https://www.artellis.ie/where-do-i-start-with-ai): start with one weekly repeated workflow where the output is a draft a human approves; prototype in week one, live in about six weeks. - [How much does AI consulting cost in Ireland?](https://www.artellis.ie/ai-consulting-cost-ireland): a single workflow built and handed over starts around EUR 3,500 and rises with systems touched, data readiness and governance depth. LEO and Enterprise Ireland supports often offset part of it. - [Do I need an AI policy under the EU AI Act?](https://www.artellis.ie/do-i-need-an-ai-policy): if staff use AI tools at work you are a deployer, and Article 4 expects demonstrable AI literacy. A two-page policy plus a dated training record is proportionate for most SMEs. - [Who does AI automation for small businesses in Ireland?](https://www.artellis.ie/ai-automation-small-business-ireland): the four supplier types, how to compare them, and where a founder-led practice fits for a 10 to 250 person business. - [Work / proof](https://www.artellis.ie/work) - [Case studies / behind the build](https://www.artellis.ie/case-studies) - [About](https://www.artellis.ie/about) - [Contact](https://www.artellis.ie/contact) ## Case studies - [A launch film for an idea nobody could picture](https://www.artellis.ie/case-studies/persona-lobby-launch-film): Behind the build: how an abstract synthetic-research product became a launch film, the AI stack used for each job, and the part AI could not do. ## Writing - [What actually counts as an AI workflow](https://www.artellis.ie/blog/what-counts-as-an-ai-workflow): the three-part test — it recurs, it produces a record, a named human signs it. Why an AI-assisted build is a different purchase from an AI workflow, with four live examples from Artellis's own site. - [Why AI search is ignoring your website, and five steps to fix it](https://www.artellis.ie/blog/why-ai-search-ignores-your-website): generative engine optimisation for SMEs. Audit what assistants say about you, server-render your text, align one brand description across every source, fix indexing and robots.txt, phrase headings as buyer questions, then earn third-party mentions. - [Agents that finish the job overnight](https://www.artellis.ie/blog/long-running-agents-sme-playbook): a six-step SME playbook for long-running background agents. - [Grounding beats guessing](https://www.artellis.ie/blog/ai-grounding-connectors-sme): why grounding and connectors matter more than model choice for SMEs. - [Voice is the new form](https://www.artellis.ie/blog/voice-first-ai-workflows-sme): where voice AI pays back for SMEs, and where it does not. - [Human-in-the-loop, on purpose](https://www.artellis.ie/blog/human-in-the-loop-ai-eu-article-4): approvals, audit trails and EU AI Act Article 4 readiness. - [All writing](https://www.artellis.ie/blog) - [One Workflow](https://www.artellis.ie/one-workflow): a weekly letter for Irish SMEs with one AI workflow opportunity written for that company — impact in hours, difficulty, why it is possible now, and a first step to try.
