Embedding AI into your organisation to cut operational costs.

Almost every team is trying to use AI, and far fewer have it doing real work.

Licences get bought, pilots multiply and someone becomes “the AI person”. A year later the tools are everywhere but the work has not changed, because nobody mapped where AI actually fits before switching it on.

  • Pilots that never reach production
  • Output nobody trusts with real work
  • One enthusiast carrying it all
  • Company data in personal accounts
  • Policy written after implementation
  • Nobody tracking the ROI

Our services.

AI Audit and Transformation

The fixed-fee front door: the audit and the first AI rollout run as one engagement, so your roadmap comes with the first automation live.

We come in and spend time with your team, measuring where the hours actually go before anything is switched on.

  • Workflows measured against the hours they actually take
  • What’s worth automating, and what to leave alone
  • A costed, prioritised 12 month roadmap
  • An enterprise AI platform set up, your team trained, and the first automation live

Not everything should be AI.

work that needs exact, auditable answers

what deterministic software already does well

data too poor for the output to be trusted

decisions with no person in the loop

“No” is part of what we sell. AI earns its place on the volume work: reading and summarising documents, and drafting that a person reviews and signs off.

“Working with OpenKit has been a genuinely positive experience. Their team quickly understood the unique challenges of our business and the problem we were trying to solve, and delivered a thorough, evidence-based strategy for our AI-assisted marking platform. We were particularly impressed by their transparent approach, technical expertise, and commitment to long-term partnership and support.”
Simon Patton · CEO, EMQN CIC 93-96% per-criterion accuracy Read the case study 
“We worked with OpenKit, as we wanted a company with domain expertise in LLMs to look at our strategy and test the concept. The study was focussed and really gave us a validation of our concept, a technical roadmap and prioritisation of the developments.”
Project Sponsor · Pipeline integrity programme lead Case study 
“From the outset, their team demonstrated a clear understanding of the brief which required a bespoke solution to be designed incorporating the different requests from a variety of stakeholders.
