What you get with intelligent automation from Authect

Intelligent automation combines artificial intelligence with process automation. Where traditional automation follows fixed rules, intelligent automation can read documents, understand requests and make simple judgements, so it can take on the complex, repetitive work that used to need a person at every step.

We bring together data science, machine learning, language models and robotic process automation (RPA), and choose the simplest mix that does the job reliably. Every workflow is designed with the people who do the work today, so the automation fits the process rather than the other way round.

Projects range from a single painful workflow to automation across a whole department. Each one is led by a senior engineer, the founders stay involved, and an engineer reviews every line before it ships. The workflows, models and code are yours from day one.

What we do

Custom automation solutions we build

Different problems call for different tools. These are the solutions we build most often, usually connected to the systems you already use.

Intelligent document processing

Software that reads invoices, forms, contracts and emails, classifies them, extracts the data you need and checks it against your rules, sending only uncertain cases to a person. It's often the fastest automation win, because so much work still starts with a document.

Low-code applications

Internal tools and approval flows built quickly on low-code platforms, extended with custom code where needed, so teams can replace spreadsheets and email chains with something reliable and auditable.

Robotic process automation

Software robots that work through the screens and steps a person would, for systems without an API. We combine them with AI to handle variations, and design them to be monitored and easy to change.

AI chatbots and virtual assistants

Assistants for customers and staff that answer questions from your own knowledge, complete simple requests in your systems and hand over to a person, with the conversation so far, when they should.

Predictive maintenance systems

Models that learn from sensor and maintenance data to warn you before equipment fails, then automatically raise work orders and schedule technicians at the right time.

Supply chain optimisation

Automation and forecasting that keep stock, orders and deliveries in balance: replenishing automatically, flagging delays early and suggesting the best response.

Service benefits

How intelligent automation transforms your business

  1. 01

    More productive teams

    Time-consuming manual tasks run automatically in the background, so your people can focus on customers, decisions and work that needs their expertise.

  2. 02

    Lower costs, less manual effort

    Savings go beyond hours: fewer errors, less rework, faster cycle times and processes that scale without adding headcount at the same rate.

  3. 03

    Streamlined processes

    Automating workflows end to end removes bottlenecks and hand-offs, and gives you a clear view of where every request is and what's holding it up.

  4. 04

    Faster time to market

    When approvals, checks and paperwork move in minutes instead of days, new products, services and customers go live sooner.

  5. 05

    Happier customers

    Assistants powered by language models answer straight away, requests are processed faster, and your team has more time for the conversations that need a person.

  6. 06

    Scale when you need to

    Automated processes absorb seasonal peaks and growth without quality dropping, and adapt as your business rules change.

How we work

How we deliver intelligent automation

Four stages take a process from manual to automated. We start small, prove the value on real work, then scale, with a founder and a senior engineer involved throughout.

  1. 01

    Discovery and assessment

    We map your current workflows with the people who run them, using process mining where the data allows, and identify the pain points and the automation opportunities worth pursuing first.

  2. 02

    Solution design

    Using what we learned, we design the workflow, the decision logic, the models and the points where a person reviews or approves, and agree how success will be measured.

  3. 03

    Development and integration

    Our engineers and data scientists build the solution and connect it to your existing systems, testing it on real cases and refining it until it performs reliably.

  4. 04

    Training and support

    We train your team to work with the automation and manage exceptions, then monitor it, fix issues fast and extend it to new processes as you're ready.

Getting started

From a first workflow to automation at scale

You don't need a big programme to start. Most clients begin with one process that hurts, prove the value, then grow from there. This is the path we usually follow together.

  1. 01

    Pick one process

    A high-volume, rules-heavy workflow with a clear owner and a measurable cost today.

  2. 02

    Prove it on real work

    A working pilot on live cases, with a person checking results while trust builds.

  3. 03

    Go live

    Monitoring, exception handling and a rollback in place, so the team can rely on it.

  4. 04

    Extend

    Reuse connectors, models and patterns to automate the next processes faster.

  5. 05

    Run and improve

    Track results, retrain models and adjust rules as your business changes.

FAQs

Intelligent automation FAQs

What is intelligent automation?

Intelligent automation combines artificial intelligence with process automation, so software can read documents, understand requests and make simple judgements as well as follow rules. It takes on complex, repetitive work that used to need a person at every step, and hands the tricky cases to someone on your team. We combine data science, machine learning, language models and RPA, choosing the simplest mix that does the job reliably.

How is intelligent automation different from RPA?

RPA follows fixed steps; intelligent automation adds the ability to read, understand and decide. Robotic process automation uses software robots to work through the screens and steps a person would, which is useful for systems without an API, but on its own it struggles when inputs vary. Adding AI lets it handle varied documents and requests, with clear points where a person reviews, approves or takes over.

Which processes should we automate first?

Start with one high-volume, rules-heavy process that has a clear owner and a measurable cost today. We map your workflows with the people who run them, using process mining where the data allows, and pick the opportunity worth pursuing first. A pilot on live cases, with a person checking results, proves the value before you scale. Document-heavy work is often the fastest win.

How long does it take to automate a process?

It depends on the process, the systems involved and how many exceptions it has. We start small: one workflow, a pilot on real work, then go-live with monitoring, exception handling and a rollback in place. Later processes tend to move faster, because the connectors, models and patterns from the first one can be reused.

How much does intelligent automation cost?

It depends on scope: the number of processes, the systems to integrate and how much AI each workflow needs. We quote each project individually after a free scoping conversation with the founders, and agree with you up front how success will be measured. For a rough first idea of the development side, try the software development cost calculator on our website.

Do we own the automations, and can our team run them?

Yes. Workflows, models and code live in your accounts from day one, built on widely used tools, so your team can run and change them without us. We train your people to work with the automation and manage exceptions, and keep a full record of what the automation did and why, so nothing happens out of sight.
