You're spending £3k/month on work a machine should do.

Every service business has the same bottleneck. The founder is still the operating system. Client onboarding runs on email chains and memory. Quoting takes half a day because nobody built a system. Follow-ups don't happen because the person responsible is already underwater.

Most founders solve this by hiring. Another ops person. Another coordinator. Another £30–40k on the payroll. The work gets done — but the margin gets thinner and the business doesn't actually get smarter.

There's a different move. Build AI agents that handle the repeatable work — and keep your headcount for the things that actually need a human.

Ops coordinator (part-time) £2,400/mo
AI agent (same workload) £80–200/mo
92% Reduction in cost for the same operational output
/ AI model costs have dropped 90% since 2023. The agents that cost enterprise budgets two years ago now run for less than your team's coffee budget. Your competitors are already building these systems. The window to get ahead is now.

I'm not an automation agency.
I'm an operator who builds.

Most AI automation agencies are technicians. They know the tools but they've never run a business. They'll ask you what to automate. I'll tell you — because I've been in the founder seat and I know which operational problems actually matter.

60% Unit cost reduction at Cloud Cycle — redesigned deployment process end-to-end as Interim COO.
1→1.2m Rides per day. Scaled Uber India operations from 19 cities through the most aggressive growth phase in the company's history.
Exit Founded, built, and sold Traktion — B2B marketplace acquired by IDX in 2023. Full P&L ownership throughout.
n8n + Claude Technical for an operator. I build the automations myself — no engineering team, no subcontractors, no waiting.

I'm Saher Shodhan. Exited founder and senior operator. A decade of operating in high-velocity environments — Uber's India launch, Urban Company, founding and selling Traktion, parachuting into businesses as Interim COO.

I work with founder-led businesses at the point where growth outpaces the internal machine. The Agent Build is the fastest way to start replacing manual operational work with systems that scale.

One high-impact AI agent.
Built and running in two weeks.

I don't sell a roadmap. I build the thing. We pick the workflow that's costing you the most time or money, and I deliver a working AI agent that handles it — connected to your existing tools, tested, and documented.

~

Client Onboarding

Intake forms trigger automated workflows — welcome emails, document collection, CRM updates, task creation. No manual handoffs.

~

Quoting & Proposals

AI drafts quotes from templates using client data. Review and send in minutes instead of hours.

~

Scheduling & Follow-ups

Automated booking, reminders, and follow-up sequences. No more chasing clients for a time that works.

~

Lead Qualification

Inbound leads scored, routed, and responded to within minutes — not days. The good ones get flagged immediately.

~

Invoice & Payment Chasing

Overdue invoice reminders, payment status tracking, and escalation rules — all running without anyone lifting a finger.

~

Internal Reporting

Weekly ops reports compiled and delivered automatically. KPIs pulled from your tools, summarised, ready to act on.

These are the most common builds. If your bottleneck is somewhere else, we'll find it on the call.

Two weeks. Three steps. One working system.

01

The Conversation

30 minutes. You walk me through how things actually work — not the org chart, the real day-to-day. I identify the highest-impact workflow to automate first.

02

The Build

I scope, build, and connect the AI agent to your existing tools — your CRM, email, calendar, spreadsheets, whatever you're already using. No new platforms to learn.

03

The Handover

You get a working agent, a Loom walkthrough, and documentation. It's running. If something breaks in the first 30 days, I fix it.

What this looks like in practice.

What founders ask before starting.

What tools does this work with?

Whatever you're already using. HubSpot, Pipedrive, Google Workspace, Outlook, Xero, QuickBooks, Airtable, Notion, Slack — the agent connects to your existing stack. No new platforms to learn or pay for.

Do I need to be technical?

Not at all. I handle the build. You'll get a walkthrough video and documentation so you understand what's running, but you don't need to touch the code. If something needs tweaking, I handle that too.

What happens if the agent breaks?

You get 30 days of bug-fix support included. If something stops working in that window, I fix it — no extra charge. After 30 days, most clients either have it running smoothly or move to a retained support plan.

What's the ongoing cost to run the agent?

Typically £50–200/month depending on the AI model usage and the volume of tasks. That's the tool and API costs — not a fee to me. You own the agent and the infrastructure.

How is this different from hiring an automation agency?

Most agencies are technicians who ask you what to automate. I'm an operator who's run businesses, managed P&Ls, and built teams. I don't just know the tools — I know which problems are actually worth solving and in what order.

What if we talk and it turns out an AI agent isn't the right solution?

Then I'll tell you. The 30-minute conversation is free and there's no obligation. If the problem is better solved by a process change or a different approach, I'll say so. I'd rather be honest than sell you something that won't work.

Can you build more than one agent?

Yes — most clients come back for a second or third build within 60 days. Each build is one agent, scoped and delivered in two weeks. For ongoing work, there's a retained support option starting at £1,000/month.

30 minutes. No pitch deck.
Just a conversation.

Tell me what's eating your team's time. I'll tell you honestly whether an AI agent can fix it — and if it can, what it would look like.
