Free checklist

For UK small businesses and trades

Get your evenings back from the admin.

Little Helpers AI sets up simple, sensible AI helpers that chase quotes, draft emails, sort your diary and nudge late payers, so you can get on with the actual work.

Jobs a little helper can take off your plate

Follow up that quote from TuesdayA friendly nudge drafted, ready for you to send.
Reply to the five "are you free?" emailsDrafts written in your tone, not a robot's.
Chase the invoice that's 14 days latePolite, firm and on time, every time.
Plan next week's jobsYour diary laid out before Monday morning.

The work gets done. The paperwork waits until 9pm.

If you run a small business, you know the pattern. You're on the tools or with customers all day, then the quotes, emails, invoices and diary land on the kitchen table at night. Quotes go cold because nobody followed up. Money comes in late because nobody chased it.

AI can genuinely help with this now, but most of it is pitched at tech people. We set it up for everyone else, in plain English.

  1. Home, tea, finally sit down
  2. Write up two quotes from today
  3. Answer emails and messages
  4. Try to remember who still owes you
  5. Juggle next week's diary

What we do

We find the repetitive jobs that eat your time, then set up AI helpers to do the first 80% for you. You stay in charge of anything that goes out.

Quotes and follow-ups

Turn rough notes into a tidy quote, then get a reminder and a ready-made follow-up if you haven't heard back.

Emails and messages

Sort the inbox, flag what matters and draft replies in your own words, so you only have to check and send.

Scheduling

Keep your diary straight, send booking confirmations and reminders, and plan the week ahead.

Invoice chasing

Know who owes what, and send polite, well-timed reminders without the awkwardness.

Not sure where you fit?

Most small businesses have the same three or four time-eaters. The free checklist helps you spot yours in ten minutes.

How it works

No big project, no jargon. Start small, see it work, then decide.

Quick-win session

A 90-minute video call. We pick one job that's eating your time and get a helper working on it there and then. You leave with something useful, whatever you decide next.

Plan and setup

If you want more, we start with a plan and audit, then set up helpers for your top jobs, using tools and accounts in your name. Everything is written down in plain English so you know what each one does.

Monthly care

Optional. From 2 to 6 hours of changes a month (Core, Pro or Care Plus) to tweak what's working, fix what isn't and add new helpers as your business changes.

Simple, published prices

You should know what something costs before you pick up the phone. Your first chat and a written proposal are always free, with no obligation. You only pay once you book paid work.

Launch offer: our first 5 clients get 20% off monthly care for their first 3 months. Paying yearly? The first 5 clients pay a special first-year price: £2,999 for Core, £4,599 for Pro or £5,999 for Care Plus.

Quick-win session

£79

90 minutes, remote. We pick one job that's eating your time and set up a helper for it with you, live.

Not useful? You get a full refund.

Know what to do

Plan and audit

£349

We look at how your business runs and give you a clear written plan: which jobs to hand to AI, which tools, and what it should save you.

Had a quick-win in the last 60 days? Its £79 comes off. Go ahead with setup within 60 days and £125 of it comes off your setup price.

Setup

Setup: 3 helpers

£1,195

£995 if you start on Care Plus (save £200)

Three helpers for your three biggest time-eaters, set up in your own accounts, with a short written guide.

Pay half when you accept the written scope, half when your helpers go live. Starting on Care Plus? That's £497.50 up front, or £870 in total with the £125 plan and audit credit. If you cancel or move down from Care Plus within your first 6 months, the £200 setup saving is added to your final or next invoice (if you pay yearly, it's taken off your refund instead). This doesn't apply if you cancel within your 14-day cooling-off period.

Monthly care

Optional. We keep your helpers running and make changes as your business changes. Unused hours don't roll over. Cancel any time, with no minimum term.

Pro

Thank you

Referral credit

£75 or £150

Already a client? Know another business we could help? When they pay a setup deposit, you get £75 off your next care month or invoice. It's £150 if they start on Care Plus, and Care Plus clients get £150 for any referral.

Credit only, never cash. Use it within 60 days. No limit on referrals. Got £150 because they started on Care Plus? If they leave Care Plus within 3 months, the credit drops to £75.

Extra time: £85 an hour on Core and Pro, or £600 a day on Core and Pro (a day is 7.5 hours). On Care Plus it's £75 an hour, so a full day is £562.50. Always agreed with you first. On Core or Pro and paying for extra time 2 months running? We'll suggest Care Plus, which gives you more hours each month.

Moving up: you can move up a care level at any time. You just pay the difference for the rest of your month (or the rest of your year if you pay yearly), and any launch discount comes with you.

Launch offer: our first 5 clients get 20% off monthly care for their first 3 months. A place goes to each of the first 5 paid setup deposits. The discount is on care only, and it's not a permanent price: full care prices apply from month 4. Paying yearly? The first 5 clients pay a special first-year price: £2,999 for Core, £4,599 for Pro or £5,999 for Care Plus.

Your first chat, a short presentation and a written proposal are always free. We're not VAT registered, so no VAT is added. Any software subscriptions (for example an AI tool's monthly plan) are paid by you, in your name, so you always own your setup. We'll tell you the costs up front.

Why Alex?

I'm Alex Findley. I've spent years working in home improvements, out on the road with tradespeople and builders, not behind a desk. I'm not a techie either, and I know how quickly the admin piles up when you're busy doing the actual job.

So I started using AI to help. Today I run around 20 AI helpers across my own work and home life: they look after my diary, sort my inbox, prep for meetings, chase follow-ups and keep my side projects ticking over. I didn't need to learn to code to do it, and neither do you.

  • I use this stuff every day myself, so I only recommend what actually works.
  • Plain English, no jargon, no hard sell.
  • Remote, so it doesn't matter where in the UK you are.

Our AI house rules

AI is useful, but it needs sensible rules. These are ours, and every helper we set up follows them.

You stay in charge

Helpers draft. You approve anything that goes to a customer, unless you've told us otherwise in writing.

Your accounts, your data

Everything is set up in your name. You can switch any helper off, and you keep all of it if we stop working together.

Only what the job needs

We only connect the apps and data a helper actually needs, nothing more.

Sensitive stuff stays out

No passwords, card or bank details go into AI tools. We'll help you spot anything else that shouldn't.

Privacy settings on

Where a tool offers it, we choose settings that stop your data being used to train its AI, and we check the tool's terms first.

Honest about limits

AI gets things wrong sometimes. We build in checks, and we'll tell you if a job isn't a good fit for AI.

Free checklist: which 3 jobs should you hand to AI?

Questions people ask

Do I need to be good with computers?

No. If you can use email and a smartphone, you can use a little helper. We set it up and show you how it works in plain English.

What tools do you use?

It depends on what you already use. We start with your existing email, calendar and invoicing software, then add well-known AI tools where they help. We'll always explain what we're using and why, and any subscriptions are in your name.

Will AI send things to my customers without me knowing?

Not unless you want it to. By default, helpers draft and you approve. That's house rule number one.

Is my data safe?

We follow our house rules above, keep access to the minimum and never put passwords or bank details into AI tools. We handle personal data in line with UK GDPR. See our privacy notice.

Do you come to us?

Everything is done remotely by video call and screen share, so we can help anywhere in the UK. We're based in Devon.

What if the quick-win session doesn't help?

The aim is that you leave with at least one job handed over. If we can't find anything useful to do in the session, we'll refund it in full.

Does the first chat cost anything?

No. The first chat, a short presentation and your written proposal are free, with no obligation to go ahead.

Is there a launch offer?

Yes. Our first 5 clients get 20% off monthly care for their first 3 months. A place goes to each of the first 5 paid setup deposits (a quick-win or plan on its own doesn't take one). It's on care only, and full care prices apply from month 4. Paying yearly? The first 5 clients pay a special first-year price: £2,999 for Core, £4,599 for Pro or £5,999 for Care Plus.

What does monthly care include?

Keeping your helpers running, plus changes each month: up to 2 hours on Core (£299 a month), 4 hours on Pro (£449, plus a monthly report) or 6 hours on Care Plus (£649, which also has the monthly report and priority; we aim to reply within 1 working day). On Core and Pro we aim to reply within 2 working days. Each level includes everything in the one below. Unused hours don't roll over to the next month. Anything more is charged as extra time, and we'll always ask first.

What's Care Plus?

Our top care level, and the one we recommend: everything in Pro (including the monthly report), plus up to 6 hours of changes a month and priority response (your requests go first, and we aim to reply within 1 working day), for £649 a month. Starting on Care Plus also gets you setup for £995 instead of £1,195, extra time at £75 an hour instead of £85, and a £150 credit for any business you refer. If you cancel or move down from Care Plus within your first 6 months, the £200 setup saving is added to your final or next invoice (if you pay yearly, it's taken off your refund instead). This doesn't apply if you cancel within your 14-day cooling-off period. Unused hours don't roll over, and you can cancel any time.

Can I move up a care level later?

Yes, any time. You pay the difference between the two levels for what's left of your current month, then the new price from your next month. If you pay yearly, you pay the difference between the two yearly prices for what's left of your year. If you're a launch client, your launch discount comes with you: the 20% off carries on at the new level for the rest of your first 3 months, or, if you paid a first-year launch price, you pay the difference between the two first-year prices (for example £1,400 from Pro to Care Plus) for what's left of your year.

What if I need more time than my care level includes?

We'll always agree it with you first. Extra time is £85 an hour on Core and Pro, or £600 for a full day (7.5 hours). The day rate is for Core and Pro only. On Care Plus it's £75 an hour, so a full 7.5-hour day is £562.50. If you're on Core or Pro and you pay for extra time 2 months running, we'll suggest Care Plus, which gives you more hours each month.

Can I pay for care yearly?

Yes, and it's our best value. Pay 12 months of any care level up front and save 10%: £3,229.20 a year for Core, £4,849.20 for Pro or £7,009.20 for Care Plus. If you're one of our first 5 clients, you pay a special first-year price instead: £2,999 for Core, £4,599 for Pro or £5,999 for Care Plus. You can still cancel any time: we refund what you paid, less the full monthly price for each month that has started. No automatic renewal. We'll remind you 30 days before the year ends.

Do you give anything for referrals?

Yes. If you're a client and someone you refer pays a setup deposit, you get a £75 credit off your next care month or invoice. If they start on Care Plus, it's £150. And if you're on Care Plus yourself, it's £150 for any referral. If you got £150 because they started on Care Plus: if the business you referred leaves Care Plus within 3 months, the credit drops to £75; if the £150 has already been applied, the extra £75 is added to your next invoice. It's credit, not cash, and it lasts 60 days. There's no limit.

Am I tied in?

No. Setup is a one-off price (£1,195, or £995 if you start on Care Plus), paid half when you accept the written scope and half at go-live. Monthly care is optional, month to month, and you can cancel or move down a level any time. If you cancel or move down from Care Plus within your first 6 months, the £200 setup saving is added to your final or next invoice (if you pay yearly, it's taken off your refund instead). This doesn't apply if you cancel within your 14-day cooling-off period.
