Custom software for firms and professional services

Much of the time in firms and consultancies goes into finding files, checking documents and organising what was said in meetings. We can make existing files searchable without moving them, and let AI do a first pass on contract changes, meeting notes and receipts, with the person in charge confirming the result.

What we often hear

  • "The old project files are definitely on the NAS, but we can't find them."
  • "We have to compare contracts sentence by sentence to see what the other side changed."
  • "After a client meeting I spend time trying to remember what they asked for."
  • "Clients send monthly receipts on paper, as photos and in Excel."

What we could build for you

These are example scenarios showing how such needs can be met. They are not completed client projects.

  • clause comparison and renewal reminders

    When a counterparty sends back a revised contract, finding exactly what changed means reading it against the original sentence by sentence. AI can compare the two and list added, removed and reworded clauses for the professional to assess, while renewal and expiry dates are logged and flagged ahead of time.

  • client conversations turned into summaries

    After a client meeting, consultants and designers spend time trying to recall exactly what was asked for. The recording can be turned into a transcript, key points and a to-do list filed under that client, so a quick read before the next meeting picks up where things left off.

  • years of files, searchable

    A practice's drawings, contracts and correspondence build up on the NAS over the years, and finding an old project means digging through folders from memory. An index over the existing files allows search by client, year, project or keyword, while the files themselves stay where they are — never moved or renamed.

  • clients snap, documents get sorted

    Every month an accounting firm chases clients for invoices and receipts, which arrive as paper, photos and spreadsheets. Clients can photograph and upload them on one page; AI reads the date, amount and tax ID and suggests a category, staff check it before it enters the books, and missing items trigger a reminder.

Related approaches (real projects)

These are real systems we have built. They share a process or technology with this industry, and most are not clients in it; each note says why it is relevant.

  • Searching "inspection" lists every matching project folder scattered across the NAS, with client and date (demo data)

    Project Archive Search

    Project file system on a local NAS, with instant search across more than a decade of project data and files left untouched. Not a professional services client.

  • Huelo landing page - the meeting ends, the conclusion stays on screen

    Meeting Notes App

    Meeting notes app that records, transcribes and summarises, with search across past meetings; our own product.

Questions

Do our files have to move into a new system?

No. We build an index over the existing files, which stay where they are, unmoved and unrenamed. If the system is ever switched off, the files still open in File Explorer as before.

Our client data is sensitive. Is it safe to give it to AI?

We agree with you first which data may be processed by AI and which may not, and plan storage and access to suit. Important results are always confirmed by the person in charge.

Can AI contract comparison replace human review?

No, and it shouldn't. The AI lists the differences so nothing is missed; the judgement stays with the person in charge.

Would you like to talk through how your business works?

No specification needed. Tell us which part of your work takes the most time, and we will look at the right approach together.
