AI Advisory

You know AI matters. We'll show you exactly where it fits.

AppAdvisor helps SMEs cut through the noise and adopt AI with confidence. No jargon, no hard sell, just clear advice tailored to how your business actually works.

AI Advisory for SMEs

Many owner-managers start with our free AI Readiness Assessment to see where they sit. From there you have two ways to work with us. The AI Audit is an optional once-off: a focused half-day look at your quickest wins. Or go straight to the AI Strategy & Solutions Report, our in-depth, business-wide engagement that covers everything the Audit does and goes much further, working with your key people across the whole operation. If your business qualifies for Digital for Business, the Strategy Report is fully funded.

Sound Familiar?

You're hearing about AI everywhere. But when you sit down to work out what it means for your business, you hit the same wall.

You don't know where to start with AI

You've tried ChatGPT but couldn't get consistent results

Hours lost to admin, invoicing, and reporting that should be faster

You're paying for software you're not using properly

Competitors are using AI and you're falling behind

Your team knows where time is lost but nobody has fixed it

That's where we come in.

Inside The Work

A closer look at the two core engagements

Exactly what's involved, what gets delivered, and what to expect.

01

Deep Dive

Typical Shape

An in-depth project, delivered over the engagement

AI Strategy & Solutions Report

The full, business-wide picture.

Who it's for

Owners and managing directors who want the whole picture, not just a quick look. This is our most in-depth engagement. We work closely with your key people right across the operation, cover everything the AI Audit does and go much deeper, and look at digitalisation and AI improvements business-wide. Reports are delivered after the consultations, so you finish with a structured, honest plan to act on.

How it runs

01 - Digital snapshot, before we meet

We send out a short digital snapshot to get a feel for the software you already use, so we come to the review prepared rather than asking the obvious.

02 - AI discovery with your key members

A discovery session with you and a few key members, usually over a video call. We can involve the wider team through the AI discovery to capture pain points from the people doing the work, so quick wins and automation opportunities surface from right across the business.

03 - Full software audit

We map your current tools across every part of the business, from accounting and admin to operations and security, and identify where AI and better-fit tools can improve how you work, matched to the pain points you've told us about.

04 - Reports after the consultations, then handover

After the consultations, we deliver your reports, then run follow-up video calls for clarification and walkthroughs, right through to a full handover. Everything is yours to keep at the end.

What you receive

Good To Know

Fully funded if you qualify for Digital for Business. Hands-on rollout and software licences sit under Guided Implementation below.

Implementation

Typical Timeline

4 to 6 weeks

Guided Implementation

When the plan needs someone to drive it through.

Who it's for

Businesses that have the recommendations from a Strategy Report and want to make sure they actually happen. We take ownership of that first step alongside you, acting as your digital champion so the recommendations get put into action and don't stall after the report lands.

How it runs

01 - Turn the report into a plan

We take the recommendations from your Strategy Report and sequence them into a clear plan of action, with owners and a realistic order of play.

02 - Drive the rollout as your digital champion

We project manage the rollout, coordinate with the software vendors, and keep buy-in strong across the team so the work keeps moving and nothing gets dropped.

03 - Support you through go-live

We make sure vendor training is scheduled and carried out, tools get switched on properly, and we stay alongside you until the recommendations are genuinely up and running.

What you receive

Not Included

We don't deliver the vendor training ourselves, that comes from the tool provider, and we're not a long-term managed service. Our job is to get the initial rollout done and embedded.

Compliance

The rules already changed. Most owners haven't realised.

The EU AI Act started rolling out in February 2025. AI literacy obligations already apply to every business using AI tools, including ChatGPT, Copilot or any embedded automation. Other deadlines were deferred under the May 2026 Digital Omnibus agreement. The picture of what applies, when, and to whom is genuinely confusing right now. We can help you make sense of where you stand.

In Force Now

Feb 2025

AI literacy obligations apply to every business using AI tools. Article 5 prohibitions in effect across the EU.

Up Next

Dec 2026

Transparency obligations for AI-generated and synthetic content. New prohibitions covering non-consensual AI-generated intimate content.

Deferred

Dec 2027 / Aug 2028

High-risk system rules. Standalone systems by Dec 2027. Systems embedded in regulated products by Aug 2028.
