AI Consultant for Small Businesses (UK)

AI consultant for small businesses

I'm Nick Kuh, a Brighton-based AI builder and consultant serving the UK. I help business owners build their own AI team on Claude: bespoke agents doing real jobs, from finding your next client to drafting your quotes. You own it end to end, no black box, no per-seat subscription.

Most AI consultants sell you a tool or a training course and leave. I do the opposite. I'm a hands-on AI expert and builder who sits alongside you and builds AI into your real workflows, so you come away with something that works and the confidence to run it yourself.

I've spent 20+ years shipping real products, for the likes of the BBC, Butternut Box, Surfers Against Sewage and Sworkit (40 million downloads). I've led VC-funded startups, and run and grown product agencies. That's the difference between AI that dazzles in a demo and AI you can trust: no spaghetti-code AI slop, no accidentally deleted databases. Real engineering judgement, applied to your business.

Is this you?

You own or run a successful business, roughly £1-5 million turnover, with a team of 10 to 50 people.

You know AI could save you hours a week and win you customers, but the blank text box stops you.

Your business wins work through quotes, proposals or tenders, and writing them eats into skilled hours every week.

You want senior technical judgement in your corner without a full-time hire.

You'd rather own the skills than stay dependent on an agency or a per-seat subscription.

You want a real person to explain it in plain English, without the jargon.

What I build with you

Bespoke to how your business actually works, not an off-the-shelf product.

Scout: outreach that wins leads while you sleep

A bespoke AI agent that works overnight, running your LinkedIn Sales Navigator searches, researching the decision makers, and handing you the ten people worth approaching today with a draft of what to say to each. Especially powerful for high-ticket sales, where one won deal pays for itself many times over. See Scout at work →

Core service

Build your own AI team

Your own team of autonomous AI agents on Claude, each doing a real job across marketing, analytics, operations and engineering. I build it with you and leave you able to run and extend it. You own it end to end, no black box, no per-seat subscription.

What working with me looks like

He's used Claude Cowork and Claude Code to transform workflows in marketing and in analytics, not just engineering.

Nick is an incredible engineer and has been a huge asset. He's extremely good at trying and implementing the latest AI across the whole business. I'd hugely recommend him to anyone and would love to work with him again in the future. He's also great fun to have on a team!

He understands how businesses actually run, then brings the technical skills to match, for genuine business transformation.

Nick has been instrumental in paving the way to using Claude and other AI tools to change the way we work within our organisation. He doesn't just have a knack for the technical detail and the jargon, he also understands how businesses actually run, and brings his business acumen and technical skills together to work out what would be genuinely useful to build and implement. Nick is fantastic, and I would not hesitate to work with him in the future (which we are!).

AI consultant FAQ

What does an AI consultant actually do?

An AI consultant helps a business work out where AI will genuinely save time or win customers, then builds it into their real workflows. I focus on giving you your own AI team on Claude, plus the skills to keep running it, so you own the capability rather than staying dependent on me.

I run a traditional business, not a tech company. Is this really for me?

Yes, that's exactly who I work with. Marshall, one of my agents, drafts quotes, proposals and tenders for MSL Fire, an established fire protection business. If your team wins work through quotes or proposals, an agent can take the drafting off your desk while your people make every call that matters.

How much does an AI consultant cost in the UK?

It depends on what you need, so I don't work from a fixed price list. We start with a free 20-minute intro chat to understand your business and scope what would help most, then agree an arrangement that fits, whether that's a build or ongoing support. No cost and no pressure to find out.

Do I need to be technical to work with you?

Not at all. Non-technical business owners and small teams are exactly who I work with. I explain everything in plain English and never make you feel daft for asking.

Which AI tools do you use?

I build on Claude, including Claude Code and Claude Cowork, because it's the strongest platform for giving a business its own team of autonomous agents. You own what we build, with no per-seat subscription and no black box. I'll always help you pick the right tool for the job and explain why in plain English.
