Bespoke App Design

Bespoke apps that link into any system

If you can describe it, I can build it: apps and AI agents that connect to the tools and data you already use, find what matters and act on it, from reports and emails to updates in your own systems.

What I build with

The building blocks

These are parts I've already built. For each job I pick the ones it needs and join them up, so a new app starts from working pieces rather than a blank page.

Web scraping & browser automation

Real headless browsers that drive a site's own search forms, and cloud browsers where sites block bots. Only new results come through, with your filters mapped across every source.

Seen in

Vector stores with metadata search

Documents split into chunks, embedded into a Postgres vector store (pgvector) and searched by meaning plus keywords, filtered by metadata such as source, buyer or date.

Seen in

MCP servers

Let an AI assistant such as Claude operate your system safely: reading, acting and changing at separate permission levels, with two-factor sign-in and a person approving anything that matters.

Seen in

  • ATS Hosting, whose own MCP server can read deploy logs, check health, run deploys and manage SEO

Powerful AI models, chosen per step

Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek and Deepgram, with the model for each step picked in an admin page: the hard steps get the strongest model, the routine ones a fast, cheaper one.

Seen in

Agentic flows

Multi-step runs that use tools, follow schedules, queue work, retry and resume after interruptions: scrape, search, analyse and rank, then email the report, all unattended.

Seen in

Linking into any system

Microsoft 365 (Outlook mailboxes and Planner tasks), government and open-data APIs (legislation, case law, procurement portals), payments, email, file storage, Google sign-in and social feeds.

Documents in and out

Reads PDF, Word, Outlook and Teams files, even scans, and produces PDF, Word and Excel, including filling in your own templates.

Seen in

Security & human approval

User roles, two-factor sign-in and audit logs, with personal details removed and a person signing off before anything is sent.
Human-like interaction

Apps that act like a person

The apps I build can talk, listen and guide people the way a member of staff would, by voice or by text, and with a face if you want one.

Talks and listens in real time

A spoken conversation that flows, and you can interrupt it mid-sentence, as you would a person.
AI-generated avatar

A face that speaks

A 3D avatar, lip-synced to its voice. With custom avatars, you choose its face, voice and name.

Shows you around

It moves the page, scrolls and highlights what it's explaining as it talks, like a guide at your side.

Answers from your own facts

Its answers come from your own information, and it says when it doesn't know rather than guessing.

Type or talk

The same assistant by voice or by text, whichever suits the person using it.

Recommends and explains why

Suggestions with the reasons behind them, like the book picks on Tiffany's Tales.

Listens to meetings and takes notes

It follows a meeting and writes up the notes, the actions and the risks.

Works with Claude

Talk to your app from your phone

Every app I build gets its own MCP server. Connect it to Claude once, and you can talk to it from Claude on your phone: ask out loud, the way you'd ask a member of staff, and Claude answers from your app's own live data.

  • Built in: an MCP server made for your app. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard Claude uses to connect to other systems.
  • Connect once: add it to Claude as a connector, and it's there in the Claude app on your phone and on your computer.
  • Talk to it: ask “What ran overnight?” or “Is anything waiting for my approval?” in Claude's voice mode and hear the answer, like talking to a person.
  • Only for the people you allow: it asks you to sign in, and it can only see and do what you allow.

How it works

How it comes together

Four steps, from your first message to an app that's running.

  1. Step 1

    Tell me what you need

    Describe the job in your own words: what comes in, what should happen to it and what you want at the end.
  2. Step 2

    I come back with an estimate

    I work out which building blocks the job needs and roughly how many hours it will take, before any work starts.
  3. Step 3

    I build it in stages

    You see each stage working as it's built, so you can try it and steer it along the way.
  4. Step 4

    It goes live

    It runs on ATS Hosting, my own hosting platform, or on your own servers.
Cost

What it costs

Every app I build is custom, so the cost depends on how complex it is: how many systems it links into and how much it has to do on its own. Tell me what you need and I'll come back with an estimate before any work starts.

How it works

How it works, and how payment goes

Pay in two halves, or pay in full upfront and save 10%. The same plain terms apply to every job, so you know what to expect before you ask for a price.

  • Custom build & first draft

    Every site or app I build is made to order. I aim to deliver a first draft within 2 to 5 working days of getting everything I need from you.

  • Updates

    Once you have agreed the first draft, 3 medium updates are included at no charge. After that, each further update is £50.

  • Redesign

    A redesign of your site or app is £250.

  • Two payments

    You pay 50% of the agreed estimate as a deposit before I begin work. The rest is due on completion, and no later than the end of the second month after I begin.

  • Pay in full, save 10%

    Prefer one payment? Pay the whole price upfront, before I begin, and you get 10% off.

  • Ownership & missed payments

    The site or app remains my property until it has been paid for in full. If a payment is missed, I will suspend the account until it has been paid.
