AI Tools

Design, writing, video, audio, SEO and development — organised by the job rather than the hype. Each entry says what the tool is for and how a studio uses it on real client work, including the ones we only trust for drafts.

50 tools, and what each one is actually for.

Grouped by the job rather than the hype. Every entry says what the tool does and how a studio uses it in real client work — including the ones we only use for drafts.

Where we come in

Tools are the easy part.

Buying a subscription is not a strategy. The work is deciding which bottleneck is worth removing, wiring the tool into a process people will actually follow, and being able to prove the output is good. That is the part we get hired for.

01

AI Content Systems

Production pipelines that take a brief to a first draft in minutes, with your voice and your facts — then a human edits.

  • Brand-voice prompt libraries
  • Draft-to-publish workflows
  • Localisation at volume
  • Editorial QA checkpoints

Best for: Teams publishing weekly or more, who are bottlenecked on first drafts rather than on ideas.

02

Conversational Assistants

Support and sales assistants grounded in your own documentation, so answers come from your content instead of the model guessing.

  • Retrieval over your knowledge base
  • Escalation to a human, by design
  • Answer-quality evaluation suite
  • Analytics on what people actually ask

Best for: High repeat-question volume in support, or a product complex enough that pre-sales questions block the sale.

03

AI Search Visibility

Being cited by AI assistants is becoming its own acquisition channel. We structure your content so it gets quoted accurately.

  • Structured data and entity coverage
  • Answer-shaped content architecture
  • Citation and mention monitoring
  • Competitive share-of-answer tracking

Best for: Brands already investing in SEO who want to hold position as search shifts toward generated answers.

04

Workflow Automation

The unglamorous wins: briefs routed, assets tagged, reports drafted, handoffs that no longer depend on someone remembering.

  • Intake and triage automation
  • Asset tagging and search
  • Reporting and summarisation
  • CRM and project-tool integration

Best for: Teams losing hours per week to copy-paste work between tools they already pay for.

05

Custom Internal Tools

Small, sharp applications built for one team and one job — the kind of thing that never justifies a full software project.

  • Internal dashboards and copilots
  • Document and contract review aids
  • Model and vendor selection
  • Cost and latency budgeting

Best for: A repeated internal process with clear inputs and outputs that no off-the-shelf product fits.

06

Evaluation & Guardrails

The part most agencies skip. If you cannot measure whether the output is good, you have bought a demo, not a system.

  • Task-specific evaluation sets
  • Regression testing on prompt changes
  • Hallucination and safety review
  • Human-in-the-loop checkpoints

Best for: Anything customer-facing, and any workflow where a confidently wrong answer costs real money.

How we work with it

Four rules we do not bend.

These exist because the failure modes of this technology are predictable, and most of them are avoidable with process rather than cleverness.

A human signs off on client-facing output

Generated drafts are drafts. Nothing reaches your customers without a person who is accountable for it having read it.

Grounded in your content, not the model’s memory

Assistants answer from your documentation with citations. If the answer is not in your material, it says so rather than inventing one.

We will tell you when AI is the wrong tool

Plenty of problems are better solved with a form, a rule or a rewrite. We would rather lose the line item than sell you a system that quietly degrades.

You own the prompts, the data and the pipeline

Everything transfers at handover, documented. No proprietary black box you can only operate by continuing to pay us.

Questions
