Keeping it secure, useful, and maintained is the work. That is what we do, and it is the part most teams have never had to own before.
A login and a paid plan get you a chatbot by lunch. Keeping it secure as models change, staff turn over, and data moves is the part nobody scoped.
We are experienced developers. We know where AI quietly leaks company data, and we build so it does not.
Most consultancies hand you to a manager once the pitch is won. We do not run that layer.
The senior engineer who maps your business in the first two weeks is the same person on the retainer a year later.
The fear is reasonable. Connect AI to company data carelessly and you inherit blame, a rip-out, and nothing documented.
We build with role-based access and an audit trail, under ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials. You can see what was asked, what was returned, and why.
We would rather configure what you already run than sell you a platform. Most of the value is in the workflow, not the software, and we start wherever the audit says the value is.
Three things, in the order most clients meet them. You start with the audit and decide what comes next from what we find together.
The usual front door
We map where AI fits, configure workflows on your existing stack, and train the team. You leave with a roadmap of the top opportunities and what to start in Claude today.
The retainer that keeps it working
A senior OpenKit engineer on a monthly retainer ships new workflows, reviews your internal AI work, handles model upgrades and governance, and onboards staff. The same engineer who ran your audit.
When you need it built well · optional
Custom systems beyond configured workflows: retrieval over proprietary data, regulated-industry tools with audit logging, internal platforms with role-based access. Scoped after the audit shows the build is worth doing.
A two-to-four-week look at where AI fits your business, with a roadmap you can act on. No retainer assumed, no platform to buy.
ISO 27001 · ISO 9001 · Cyber Essentials · GDPR · Cambridge, across the UK
OpenKit is a UK AI consultancy based in Cambridge that audits where AI fits a business, configures it on the existing stack, and trains the team. OpenKit embeds a senior engineer on a monthly retainer who runs your audit and then stays on to ship workflows, handle model upgrades, and manage governance, with no account-manager layer. OpenKit holds ISO 27001, ISO 9001, Cyber Essentials, and is GDPR compliant, and builds bespoke software with role-based access and audit logging when a custom system is warranted.
