Fort Ink

We find the work AI can do in your business, and build it.

Fort Ink is an AI studio in Kent. We survey a business for the jobs AI can do well, build the systems that do them, and train your team to get more from the tools they already have.

Systems we've built

Four examples, each built to do one defined job.

Covenant

Rent evidence for letting agents: reviews, retention and new business.

Every night Covenant reads the local rental market and uses AI to match each property against comparable homes nearby. From those matches it works out a baseline rent and what the property's specific features add to it, with the listings that justify each figure. Letting agents use it to run rent reviews across the homes they manage, to show landlords what their agent has earned them, and to approach landlords who let through another agency with a priced case.

Foreman

Quote paperwork for sheet-metal fabricators.

Foreman reads a customer's enquiry and drawings, cites where each value came from, and works out what is missing. It drafts the reply, the supplier price requests and the quote pack. It never prices and it never sends. The estimator does both.

Cairn

A library for everything your AI agents write.

Agents publish their reports to Cairn as web pages. People search them, share one behind a password, and revoke the link when they are done. The company edition gives a whole team one shared knowledge base, with accounts for each person and fuller search and navigation. The personal edition is open source.

Agent teams

AI agents organised like a team.

We set up groups of agents with defined roles and connect them to the tools a business already uses. They pass work between them and finish tasks that would otherwise take one or more full-time people.

How we work

  1. Survey

    We spend three days with your team, your tools and your data. You get a ranked list of the jobs AI can do well today, what each would cost to build, and the ones to leave alone.

    Fixed price, from £1,500

  2. Build

    We build the first system end to end, in the tools you already use. Your team runs it on real work within four weeks, and you agree the test for "done" before we start.

    One system, from £5,000

  3. Hand over

    We document the system, train the people who will own it, and hand over the code, prompts and accounts. If you would sooner not run it yourselves, we run it for you each month.

    Monthly, from £1,000

Training for your team

Some jobs need a system built. Others need your people to know how to use the tools they already pay for. We teach that, on your own work.

At your office or on a call, on the tools you already use: ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or Gemini.

Ask about training

  • Leadership briefing

    90 minutes, from £350

    For owners and managers. What AI does well, what it does badly, the risks, and where your business should start.

  • Team workshop

    Half a day, from £750

    For up to twelve people. Everyone brings real tasks from their own job and leaves with prompts and saved workflows that do them.

  • Tool setup

    Fixed price, from £1,500

    We set the tools up for the whole team: accounts, a shared prompt library, assistants that know your company documents, and a one-page policy on what data may go in.

  • Monthly clinic

    Monthly, from £250

    An hour each month where the team brings whatever they are stuck on, so the new habits last.

An AI studio in Kent

We design, build and run AI systems, and we stay on a job until the system is doing real work.

We have built AI systems for a number of companies, including our own. We run agent teams in our own work, so what we recommend is what we already rely on.

What helps us reply well

  1. What the business does and roughly how many people work in it.
  2. The job that is slow, expensive or stuck, and who does it today.
  3. The tools that job touches: inboxes, spreadsheets, software.
