AI automation services and AI agent development for UK businesses
AI automation combines an AI assistant with a defined business workflow. We build scoped systems for London and UK businesses to interpret enquiries, retrieve approved information and prepare replies for review.

The direct answer
Where AI automation can help a small business
Use AI for work that needs interpretation: categorising an incoming enquiry, summarising a client’s change request or preparing a reply using approved business information. Connect that output to a saved record and a review step. For predictable actions such as sending a receipt, fixed-rule automation may be sufficient.
Useful drafts and recommendations with the right context, clear boundaries and human approval before important actions.
- Repeated questions require searching through scattered documents
- Client replies take time to draft from project context
- Unstructured messages need triage before a team can act
- An unrestricted chatbot cannot safely make business commitments
Choose the right starting point
Website, automation or AI: which do you need?
Miftah Digital Ltd serves small service businesses in Croydon, London and across the UK, with remote discovery, reviews and handover.
- £99 website repair: one agreed fix on one existing page when the rest of your site still meets your needs.
- Website design from £199: one responsive service page when customers need a clear explanation and contact route.
- Enquiry automation from £249: one agreed workflow when repetitive capture, notification or follow-up needs attention.
- AI automation: a separately scoped pilot when interpreting varied questions or drafting responses needs more than fixed rules.
What happens before you pay?
We agree the deliverables, required access, review steps and acceptance checks in writing. Domain, hosting, messaging and AI usage charges are identified separately where applicable.
The £399 starter bundle combines a one-page website with enquiry capture and a lead workflow. Ongoing care is £49/month for one website: a monthly form check, essential updates and a site-health summary.

Scoped pilot first
What we can build.
The starting price covers the agreed starter scope, not every option below. Each item is confirmed against the final scope. External software or usage charges are identified before approval.
Approved knowledge and data-source setup
Secure tool and API integration where available
Human review before sending or committing
Failure handling and a manual fallback
Test cases, usage-cost guidance and handover
Who it fits
Start with a useful, bounded scope.
For UK SMEs with a repeatable task involving text or approved business knowledge, a person responsible for review, and a clear reason why fixed rules alone are insufficient.
A client-reply assistant can use an approved brief and the latest client message to propose a response. The owner checks dates, prices and commitments, then chooses whether to send. This is an illustrative use case, not a claim that every messaging platform is connected.
A practical delivery path
- Choose one bounded task, such as drafting a reply from an approved project brief.
- Provide only the knowledge and permissions needed for that task.
- Return a draft with unresolved questions instead of inventing missing facts.
- Require approval before external actions and record failures for review.
AI can produce incorrect answers. No autonomous legal, financial or commercial commitments are promised. Existing ChatGPT chats, third-party accounts and private records require a supported, authorised way to supply context.

Clear answers before you commit.
What are AI automation services?+
AI automation services connect tasks such as classifying messages, finding approved information or drafting replies to a business workflow. Fixed rules handle predictable steps; AI handles interpretation, with a person reviewing important decisions.
Can a small business start with one AI workflow?+
Yes. A first pilot can focus on one task, such as preparing responses to a specific type of enquiry. We agree the source information, expected output, review step and usage costs before expanding the system.
How much does a custom AI agent cost?+
AI agents are quoted after discovery. Cost depends on the approved knowledge sources, integrations, permissions, test coverage and monitoring required. Model and external service usage are identified separately; the £399 website bundle does not include a bespoke AI agent.
Is an AI agent the same as an automation?+
A rule-based automation follows defined steps. An AI agent can interpret less structured information and propose a next step. We use fixed rules where they are sufficient and add AI only where interpretation is useful.
Will it automatically send messages to my clients?+
The initial scope can prepare a draft for your approval. Sending, quoting, payments and other commitments need explicit permissions and agreed safeguards. Human approval is the default for consequential actions.
Can it connect to our existing software?+
Only when an authorised, supported integration is available. Access, API limits and costs are checked before a connection is promised. A connection to one product does not automatically grant access to another.
How are mistakes and sensitive information handled?+
We agree what information the assistant may access, minimise what is shared, and test unclear requests, missing context and tool failures. The workflow should flag uncertainty and escalate to a person. AI output still needs review.
