You know AI could transform how you work. You just don't know who to hire.
Every SMB owner is having the same week. A competitor posts about their new AI setup. A podcast mentions agents. Someone on LinkedIn claims they saved 20 hours. You open ChatGPT, poke around, close the tab.
The gap is not curiosity. You have tried. The gap is a trusted builder. Agencies want £40k and six months. Freelancers want forty revisions and three missed deadlines. Hiring a full-time AI lead means equity, onboarding, and hoping they deliver.
Gateway closes that gap. One fixed-price package. One vetted senior operator. Working AI delivered in days, into your systems, against a checklist you signed before any code was written.
What SMBs reach for instead of a £90k AI hire, a £40k consultancy deck, or the Upwork lottery.
Three steps. Zero decks.
You pay 50% at the start and 50% on delivery, measured against the written success checklist you sign up front. Both sides know what "done" looks like before any work begins.
Pick a package
Choose from ten packages covering voice, support, sales, data, knowledge, automation, outreach, content and local-business bundles, plus fully custom AI app builds. Every package has a published deliverables list and acceptance criteria.
Output: signed SoW + acceptance criteria
Get matched in 48h
We match your project to a vetted senior AI operator who has already delivered paid work in this exact package category. You meet them, confirm fit, get started.
Avg. match time: 32 hours
Delivered in 7–14 days
Your operator builds, tests, and hands it over. You review against the checklist. You sign off. You keep the code, the prompts, the connections, the lot.
Payment: 50% upfront / 50% on sign-off
Not sure where AI fits in your business? Start with an assessment.
If you know AI should save you time and money but aren't sure which package to pick, the 48-hour AI Assessment maps every opportunity across your business before you commit to a build. This is the entry point for buyers who want a full map, not just scoping for one specific package.
AI Assessment
A paid diagnostic for business owners who know AI belongs in their business but want a full opportunity map before writing a cheque for an implementation. You pay £750. We deliver a custom report on how to save hours and pounds every week across your operation.
30-minute intake call
Over Zoom, or with our AI voice agent if you'd rather not sit on a call. We learn your business, your team, and where the friction lives.
10 to 15 page report in 48 hours
Top 5 to 10 operational pain points. Specific AI and SaaS tool recommendations for each. Effort-vs-impact matrix. 4-day quick-win plan. Financial impact summary in hours and pounds saved per week.
30-minute follow-up
We walk you through the report, answer questions, and help you pick what to ship first, whether that's one of our packages, a tool you buy direct, or a change to a process.
Ten packages. Fixed price. Fixed scope.
Pricing is listed. Timeline is listed. Deliverables are listed. If what you need falls outside these, we'll tell you on the first call rather than dragging you through discovery.

24/7 AI receptionist that answers calls, qualifies, books appointments and transfers to humans when needed. Plugs into your existing number.

Senior operators. Not agencies. Not juniors.
Every operator in the network has passed a practical build challenge, delivered paid work under supervision, and cleared a reference check. Roughly 8 percent of applicants make it in.
8% acceptance rate
Applicants deliver a real build in under 72 hours, reviewed by two existing operators. No theory tests. No trivia. Show the work.
Price, scope, timeline
Everything is written before we start. Scope changes have to be priced and re-signed. No surprise invoices, ever.
You keep the keys
Code, prompts, connections, logins. You own the build. If you ever want to walk, you walk with everything.
50 / 50 payment
Half at the start, half on delivery, measured against the written success checklist signed up front.
Real work. Real operators.
Names and businesses anonymised where requested. Verified build logs available on operator briefings.
Answers to the sensible questions.
What if I'm not sure which package to buy?
Two options. If you already know roughly what you want built, book a free 20-minute scoping call and we'll point you at the right package. If you want a full map of where AI could save you time and money across your whole business before committing, take the £750 AI Assessment. You'll get a custom report in 48 hours, and the £750 is credited against any implementation package you book within 30 days.
What happens if the build doesn't work?
Every package has a written success checklist signed before we start. If the delivered build doesn't meet it, we fix, re-scope, or refund in line with the signed agreement. This is in the contract, not the pitch.
Who actually builds the thing?
A vetted senior AI operator matched to your package. Every operator has delivered paid AI work in that exact category, passed a practical build challenge, and cleared a reference check. Around 8 percent of applicants make it in.
What if my project is bigger than one package?
We stack packages or scope a custom fixed-price build. If what you need is genuinely a six-month engagement, we'll say so on the first call and point you elsewhere. We don't pretend every problem is a 14-day problem.
Do I own the code and the prompts?
Yes. You own the build: the code, the prompts, the connections and the logins. It is delivered into your systems and your accounts. If you ever want to leave, you leave with everything.
How do you keep prices this low?
Scope is tight, operators are senior, no account managers sit between you and the build. We package work into repeatable shapes. When something is in a package, it's because we've delivered it more than a dozen times.
Is there ongoing support after the build?
Each package includes a defined support window (7 to 30 days depending on scope). Longer retainers are available, but they're opt-in, not default. We'd rather deliver something that doesn't need babysitting.
