On a team of 1 to 5

The work sits with you.

You are the back office

Inbox, invoices and the calendar sit with you.

The chat tab closes with you

Nothing runs while you sleep.

The morning routine never starts

Triage, the weekly report and the monitors wait.

What Blake sets up

You talk to one bot. It routes the work and comes back with one answer.

You
Chief of StaffThe only bot you talk to. Routes work. One answer back.

What clients say about working with us

He took the time to understand how I actually work before building anything

Blake built me a custom AI 'brain' that now handles a chunk of my day-to-day admin and research gathering. He took the time to understand how I actually work before building anything, and has been responsive every time I've hit a snag. Great combination of technical skill and genuine patience with a non-technical client. Would recommend him to anyone wanting to put AI to real use in their business. Thanks Blake!

Hits his timelines, and hands over tools that work with clear instructions

Blake has become our go-to for everything AI in our business - from setting up Claude and training our team, to building integrations like our PayHero setup that we had struggled with ourselves. He is a genuine sounding board, hits his timelines, and hands over tools that work with clear instructions. We would happily recommend Blake and Harkness AI to any business looking to get real value out of AI.

Built custom connectors and processors for our more niche requirements

Blake gets it - prompt, professional, knows his stuff. He took us through the easy set ups and built custom connectors and processors for our more niche requirements. Quick, fun and already changing the way we work.
