The UK AI automation agency that builds inside your existing systems

Three things decide it: how often it happens, how long it takes each time, and what proportion of cases are exceptions. High frequency with few exceptions is where automation pays. If exceptions are most of the work, you automate the easy part and keep the hard part. We work this out on the first call.

That is exactly what the AI part is for. A rules-based extractor breaks on a new layout; a model reads a document it has not seen before. What still needs engineering is what happens when it is unsure, which is why exception handling is built at the same time rather than afterwards.

Into UK cloud regions by default: AWS London, Azure UK South or Google Cloud London. Where a model provider is involved we will tell you exactly what is sent, what is retained and what the options are, including arrangements that keep data out of training. This should be settled before the build, not after.

We build to support your obligations, but the duties remain yours as controller. In practice that means data minimisation in what we send to a model, a retention policy you have agreed, an audit trail, and documentation of the processing. We will not claim to make you compliant, because that is not something a supplier can do for you.

Yes, once ownership transfers on full payment, as set out in your contract. The code sits in your repository and runs on your infrastructure. We do not build automations that only work while you keep paying us, and handover includes documentation rather than just access.

Usually it replaces a task rather than a role, and in most engagements the people involved move onto the exception handling and the work that actually needs judgement. We would rather be honest that the headcount question is yours to answer, not ours to promise either way.

A document capture or a single integration typically takes a few weeks; an AI receptionist typically two to four; a multi-system workflow longer. The estimate comes after scoping, in writing, with the assumptions stated so you can see which ones would change it.

Automations fail quietly, which is the dangerous way, so we build in monitoring of throughput and exception rates rather than waiting for someone to notice. Ongoing support is an optional retainer, quoted openly alongside the build rather than buried in it.

AI automation from SpiderHunts starts from £2,000 to set up, with optional monthly support from £400. The cost depends on how many systems are involved, the volume and how many exceptions need handling. You get a written quote in pounds, with scope and exclusions agreed up front, after a free scoping call.
