The studio

A small shop for small shops.

Ægentes builds AI automation with unreasonable care for people whose name is over the door — the phone, the bookings, the follow-ups and the admin, wired to run themselves. We keep the client list short and the standards high, and we run our own shop on the same machinery we build for yours.

Why “Ægentes”

The ones who do.

The name comes from the Latin agentes — the doers, the ones who act. It's what we admire in our clients: people who open early, fix the thing, bake the bread, make the call. And it's the promise we make as a studio — less talking about the work, more work.

And if the word makes you think of agents — good. That's the whole idea. We build the agents that do the doing for you: the phone answered, the booking taken, the invoice chased, the reminder sent — quietly, in your shop's voice, so the busywork stops eating your day and the work that pays gets it back.

House rules.

  1. If it doesn’t save you real time, it isn’t done.

    We measure the hours a job used to take and the hours it takes now. If the gap isn’t obvious, we keep working.

  2. Fast beats clever.

    A simple automation that runs every day beats a clever one that breaks the first time your week gets strange.

  3. You own everything.

    The automations, the logins, the accounts they run on — in your name from day one. No lock-in, no hostages.

  4. Plain English, plain invoices.

    If we can’t explain it across a counter, we don’t say it. One number, agreed up front.

  5. We only take work we can make excellent.

    A short client list is the point. You get the whole bench, not a corner of it.

  6. Switch-on is the start, not the finish.

    Shops change — prices, seasons, tools. Your automations should keep up without a support ticket.

Small by design

A deliberately small studio: the person you brief is the person who designs and builds. Nothing is handed down a chain.

Built to hand over

Every build ships with an hour of training and notes you can actually follow. Running it yourself is part of the deliverable — no monthly dependency on us.

Around after switch-on

Most clients stay for the small stuff — a new automation, a seasonal tweak, a tool swapped out. We like it that way.
