Frequently asked questions
A little more about what we do, how we work and what it’s like to work with Clyde.
Working with Clyde
What does Clyde do?
We build custom software, workflow automation and practical AI systems that help businesses save time, improve processes and get more from the tools and people they already have.
Who do you work with?
We work with businesses that want to make day-to-day work more efficient. You don’t need to be technical or already know how to use AI, we’ll help identify where the biggest opportunities are.
Do I need to know exactly what I need?
Not at all. We start by understanding how your business works, where time is being lost and what could be improved. We’ll recommend a practical solution based on what we find.
Our services
What is workflow automation?
Workflow automation connects the tools you already use and handles repetitive steps between them — such as moving information, updating records, sending notifications or preparing reports.
What kind of custom software can you build?
We build internal tools, dashboards and business systems around your processes. This might mean bringing data together, replacing spreadsheets or giving your team a clearer way to manage work.
How can AI help my business?
AI can help with tasks such as handling routine enquiries, summarising information, extracting data from documents and helping your team work with business information. We focus on useful, measurable applications rather than AI for its own sake.
Can you work with the software we already use?
Usually, yes. We’ll look at the systems you rely on and identify what can be connected or improved. Where a direct integration isn’t available, we’ll explain the alternatives before recommending an approach.
Process and pricing
What happens during the first visit?
We’ll learn how your team currently works, understand the biggest frustrations and identify where software or AI could make a difference. The initial visit and recommendations are free, with no obligation.
Do I have to commit before seeing what’s possible?
No. After understanding the problem, we can create a prototype so you can see how the proposed solution could work before agreeing to proceed.
How much does a project cost?
It depends on the problem, complexity and scope. We’ll agree a clear, fair price before development begins, once we’ve established what needs to be built.
What is the 30-day trial?
Where it’s part of the agreed project, we provide a 30-day trial so your team can use the solution in real working conditions. The exact terms and success criteria are agreed with you in advance.
After launch
Will my team need technical training?
We design solutions to fit naturally into your team’s work. We’ll walk people through the new process and provide the guidance needed to use it confidently.
Can you make changes as our business grows?
Yes. We can refine existing systems, add functionality and help adapt workflows as your needs change. Any ongoing work or support is agreed with you.
How do I get started?
Get in touch and tell us a little about your business. We’ll arrange an initial conversation or visit to understand how things work today and where we may be able to help.
Still have a question?
Tell us what you’re trying to improve and we’ll help you work out what’s possible.
