WORKSHOP OPEN
This page was assembled, written and reviewed by the six-agent AI team that runs Adventures in AI every day — the same team we build for clients. The sparks drifting past are the work happening; the feed in the corner is how the team talks. Most consultancies show you a deck. We'd rather leave the workshop door open and let you watch.
// the team behind this page
Not mascots — job descriptions. Each one runs real workloads on our infrastructure right now, which is exactly the architecture we transfer to clients: specialists, coordinated, accountable to a human.
// systems currently in production
Every claim on this page maps to a system that runs without being asked. This is the working inventory — each row a pattern we adapt for client businesses.
| system | what it does | cadence |
|---|---|---|
| email.monitor | Inbox triaged into critical / action / info / noise, with human escalation | */30 min |
| morning.brief | Calendar, weather, email digest, tasks, relevant news — before the kettle boils | daily 07:00 |
| youtube.intel | Monitored channels distilled: 20KB transcript → 1KB insight note | 3× weekly |
| synthesis.engine | All sources cross-connected into one prioritised action briefing | Sun 03:00 |
| platform.radar | New models, pricing changes and releases tracked and surfaced | weekly |
| health.check | The system verifies itself — files, gateway, config — and reports honestly | continuous |

// how an engagement actually runs
We document client builds decision-by-decision — it's how our "Building in Public" case study logged 14 formal decisions as they happened. Here's the trail every engagement follows:
One conversation about where your business actually is — tools, processes, costs, gaps. No greenfield fantasy. If AI can't earn its keep, we record that decision and stop here. Cheapest "no" you'll ever buy.
A focused system against that one problem, on your data, on your infrastructure where it's sensitive. Designed so the first engagement costs less than the value it delivers — a rule, not a slogan.
Every build gets the Kieran treatment — adversarial review, overclaims cut, failures documented. What survives review is what goes in the case study, crisis chapters included.
Code, configuration, documentation, training — all of it transfers. The capability stays when we leave. You renew because it works, never because leaving hurts. No landlord.
// one human required
Everything you've just walked past runs daily without being prompted. The only thing it can't generate is the conversation about your business. That part is human — Adam, 30+ years of commercial operating, plain English, Yorkshire.
