Unbusy: AI ventures and advisory

16 hrs/week

What a typical owner spends on admin nobody would miss: calls at dinner time, chasing invoices, re-typing the same data.

800+ hrs/year

The same time annualised. A working month of your year, every year.

6,500 hrs/year

Saved across a team of 50, each winning back just 30 minutes a day.

Illustrative figures, to be confirmed.

What we do

Two things, done deeply.

Build

I build new ventures in AI, right now voice agents for small and mid-sized businesses. I also help companies implement AI solutions that drive real gains, with access to an amazing network of CTOs, product leaders and operations people to make it happen.

Advise

I advise a small number of founders on go-to-market, AI strategy and commercial growth. A few relationships at a time, close enough to be genuinely useful rather than a name on a cap table.

We build AI that earns its keep for real businesses, and advise the founders and funds backing it.

02 / The front door

A 2 minute chat. A plan to win back hours.

Tell the agent about your business. In two minutes it maps where AI can save you time and cost, then sends you a personalised report on exactly where to start.

No sign-up. Two minutes of your time. I keep only what helps me help you.

Who I work with

A good fit looks like this.

Founders past the first bit of traction who need distribution to become a system, not a scramble.

Operators who want one honest opinion over ten polite ones.

People building with AI who want it to be useful, not decorative.

Company owners who want to implement AI properly, and want a partner to help make it real rather than a slide about it.

How we work

In your systems in weeks, not quarters.

A small team, embedded. We pick the workflow with the fastest payback, build it in your tools, and hand back something your people run and trust.

01 / Map

Find where it pays off

One workshop. We leave with two or three candidate workflows, ranked by payback rather than hype, and a number attached to each.

02 / Build

Live in 3 to 6 weeks

We build the first workflow live in your tools and your tenancy, in weeks not quarters, with a human check on every decision from day one.

03 / Embed

Hand over something that lasts

Your team owns it, with the audit trail and the metrics to prove it is working. We move on to the next one, or step back.

Where it tends to pay off first

Document & data processing

Contracts, invoices and forms turned into a queue of decisions. Extraction and routing a person checks, not types.

Customer operations

Triage, drafting and summarising that gets your team to the answer before they have finished reading the thread.

Back-office workflows

Finance, HR onboarding and compliance checks that run the checklist, flag what is missing, and leave people to approve.

Governance

Your data, your systems, your rules.

The questions your risk register will ask, answered before the first call.

Human in the loop

AI drafts, sorts and routes. Your people approve. Review points sit wherever judgement matters.

Auditability

Every automated step leaves a trail: what was read, what was decided, and who signed it off.

Data protection is a design input from the first workshop, not a compliance pass bolted on at the end.

About

Built by someone who has done it before.

I spent nearly a decade building Bunk, a VC-backed proptech. We raised around £3m, grew to 55,000+ properties under management, were named a Tech Nation top-15 fintech, and exited.

Why Unbusy exists

Time is a real cost.

Businesses lose staggering amounts of time to pointless work. A few minutes here, a repeated task there, in every corner of the business. Nobody notices it going, and nobody would miss it.

Unbusy was born to win that time back, for you and your key people. We treat it as a cost like any other. And when your best people get their hours back, they spend them on the things that actually move the business.

The thesis

Distribution beats product.

The companies that win own the customer relationship. A good product is table stakes. Getting it to the right people, repeatedly, is the harder part and the more durable one.

It guides everything here. Start from the route to the customer, then work back to what you build. It is why the front door of this site is a conversation, not a contact form.

A note from Tom

I like small problems solved properly. I go deep with a few people rather than spread thin across many. I try and say the important things, even when it is hard to hear. If we work together, you get me, not a deck.
