What counts as AI and automation work — and what doesn't?

This solution covers six services: business process automation, workflow automation, AI agents, computer vision quality control, data and machine learning, and MCP server development. If what you actually need is a full product or platform, that sits under our product development solution; hosting and ongoing infrastructure sit under infrastructure and support. It's the same team either way — we'll point you at the right engagement rather than force-fit your project here.

What do the two prices on this page cover?

The automation build, from £5,000, is one workflow fully automated — wired into your existing tools, with checks and human sign-off built in and the savings estimated before you commit. The automation rollout, from £10,000, ranks your highest-value automations and builds them, shipping one every few weeks — or runs as a rolling sprint from £4,000 a month. Prices are fixed and agreed before work starts, and the code and IP are yours on payment.

We waste hours on admin but don't know what to automate first — where do we start?

With a shortlist, not a build. An AI readiness assessment — one week, three calls — maps where AI and automation will save you the most time and money, and every consulting engagement starts by ranking your automation candidates by payback. For one energy supplier the answer was its sales cycle: automated end to end, it lifted lead capacity 5x in three months.

Will you tell us if a process isn't worth automating?

Yes, plainly. Some processes are too rare, too messy or too cheap to fix to justify a build, and some jobs still need a person more than a model. Because we estimate the savings before you commit, a weak case shows up in the numbers early — we would rather say no than ship an automation that never pays for itself.

Do you build on OpenAI, Claude or something else?

Whichever model does the job best. We've shipped automations on OpenAI models and build on the Claude API where the job suits it — chosen per problem, not per partnership, and tested on more than one model before we commit. The platform side follows the same logic: Zapier or Make when that pays back faster, n8n where you want workflows self-hosted on your own infrastructure, Power Automate where your Microsoft licence already includes it, and custom Python where volume or complexity demands it.

What happens if our automation grows into something bigger?

Good automations sometimes earn a bigger remit — an automated quote flow grows into a customer portal; a data pipeline turns into a product. When that happens, the work carries straight into our product development and infrastructure solutions: the same team designs and builds the larger system, and our managed cloud can run it from £900 a month. And because you own the code and IP outright, you're equally free to take it in-house instead.

AI Automation Agency for UK SMEs

AI & Automation

Put AI and automation to work on the tasks that drain your team's time.

Business process automation The repetitive admin — re-keying, chasing, copying between systems — automated end to end.
Workflow automation Hands-on consulting that finds your highest-value automations, then builds them.
AI agents automation AI agents with named jobs — quoting, chasing, triaging — and human sign-off where it matters.

Data & machine learning Custom models that turn your data into forecasts and decisions you can act on.
MCP server development Your CRM, database and documents connected to Claude and ChatGPT — securely, with per-user permissions.

The tech

An AI automation agency should show its stack — the models and platforms behind our shipped automations, and the ones we integrate with.

OpenAI

We've shipped OpenAI-powered parsing and grading inside client systems that work for a living — a track record, not demos.
Claude API

We build on the Claude API where the job suits it — model chosen per problem, not per partnership.
Python & Django

Custom automations are Python and Django — the same stack behind production backends we've shipped and still run.
Zapier & Make

Straightforward connections get built on Zapier or Make when that pays back faster — custom code isn't a default, it's a decision.
n8n

We work with n8n automation where you want workflows on your own infrastructure — self-hosted, and yours.
Power Automate

Microsoft shops often already pay for Power Automate — we work with what your licence includes before proposing anything new.
AI integration

AI wired into the systems you already run — your CRM, inbox and back office, with human sign-off where it matters.
Computer vision

Where automation needs eyes, we've built vision pipelines that grade photography at scale — shipped to production, not left in notebooks.
And much more

This is what comes up most often, not a limit. Bring us something that isn't on this list and we'll get up to speed on it — working with something new is the job, not an obstacle.

What our clients are saying

Real reviews from clients we have delivered for, on Clutch and elsewhere.

4.9 via Clutch

The enthusiasm, understanding of our mission, and passion from the first few minutes of the call were the deciding factors in choosing CodeLeap. Within 3 months of our app launching, we had over 1,500 downloads, appeared in leading publications from Forbes, The Metro, Marie Claire, Women's Fitness and many more, and started raising further investment.

Charlie CEO, Becon
They are incredibly diligent in the quality of work they produce, and go above and beyond when it comes to solving issues faced within the project, and to ensure we meet strict project deadlines. You never feel like you are one of many clients, and they ensure they are always there to help with any need you have, no matter how big or small.

Amelia Parmiter Marketing Manager, AWS - Marble
CodeLeap made me feel like my options were limitless in terms of what could be achieved, which was critical to me as we were creating something very unique. I'm glad I chose Codeleap over a large corporation as the personable approach resulted in a smooth and pleasant experience.

James CEO, Bearable
Working with CodeLeap was a very good experience from both a professional and personal point of view. These people know what they are doing and are both efficient and clever and made a good partner. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend CodeLeap.

John CEO, Neurometrics-Diab
CodeLeap adds so much value and goes above and beyond what I expected. CodeLeap's team is very flexible with all the different requests we've put in front of them. They've also been great with the whole business side of things, and being able to forecast for this industry is really helpful. Overall, I'm completely satisfied with their work — they've been incredibly helpful.

Johanne CEO, Cherry
Their flexibility and focus on quality were outstanding.

Mike Fenna CTO, Kite Insights
