How to decide?

The honest answer is that managed tends to be better for most small businesses, and self-hosted tends to be better for technical teams who want full control or agencies who want to resell.

What Is an AI Agent, Actually?

An AI agent is software that can take actions on your behalf — not just answer questions, but actually do things. It can send emails, update your CRM, schedule meetings, post to social media, screen job applications, write content, and more. The difference between an AI agent and a regular chatbot is that an agent can follow a multi-step process from start to finish without you supervising every move.

Do You Need to Be Technical?

No. This is the question we get most often, and the answer is straightforwardly no. A good AI automation setup should require zero code knowledge on your end. You describe how your business works, what you want the agent to do, and what tools you already use — and the setup handles the rest. That said, it does require you to think clearly about your processes.

Self-Hosted or Managed — What's the Difference?

When you work with an AI automation agency (like us), you generally have two options. Self-hosted means we build the agent, hand it over to you, and you run it yourself — you own everything and pay a one-time fee. Managed means we run it for you on an ongoing basis, optimising and updating it each month. For small businesses who don't want to think about the technical side at all, managed tends to work better.
