AI & software development agency

We build the automation,and the software around it.

Put AI to work where it actually pays off, then build the product that runs on it.

Why teams call us

The tools change weekly, the claims are loud, and it is genuinely hard to tell what will save your team hours from what merely demonstrates well. Meanwhile the software you actually run (the portal, the app, the internal tool held together by a spreadsheet) needs building regardless.

We do both halves, which means we can give you an unusually straight answer about which one you need. Sometimes the automation is the whole job. Sometimes AI is a distraction and what you need is a product built properly. We would rather tell you that in week one than bill you for the wrong thing.

Full transparency

You will always know what we are doing, what it costs, and what is going wrong. Bad news travels faster than good news here. You hear about a slip when we spot it, not at the deadline.

Total commitment

We take on a small number of clients at a time so yours is never the project someone squeezes in. If we cannot give a job proper attention, we say so instead of accepting it.

You own everything

Code in your repository, accounts in your name, documentation written for whoever comes next. Being genuinely replaceable is the point. We would rather you stay because the work is good.

Honest recommendations

We will tell you when you do not need what you asked for, when a cheaper option is the right one, and when AI is a distraction from a simpler fix. That advice is free.

Nine services, two halves.

Most clients only ever need one. Because we do both, we can tell you honestly which.

Software Development

Design and build the product itself.

Web apps, mobile apps, and MVPs, designed, built, and handed over as code you own. Every project ships with AI built in where it earns its place, and left out where it doesn't.

The Four-Week Proof

Every engagement starts by proving the value is real before you commit to the full build.

Four steps, always in this order. Nobody builds anything until you have seen a plan and a price in writing.

Week 1

Audit

We find where the time is actually going.

We interview the people doing the work and map the workflow as it really runs, rather than as the process document claims. Most of what we find is unglamorous, a report rebuilt by hand every Monday or a status nobody updates, and that is exactly where the recoverable hours live.

Week 2

Blueprint

You get a plan and a price before anyone builds anything.

We turn the audit into a costed recommendation: what to do first, what to leave alone, what it costs, and what it should return. This includes telling you when the honest answer is to do nothing, a recommendation we have made before and will make again.

You getA written plan with fixed pricing and a delivery timeline

Weeks 3+

Build

You see working software every week, not status reports.

We work in short cycles, each ending with something you can actually use. Nothing is revealed at the end. If the direction is wrong, you find out in week three when changing course is cheap, rather than at handover when it is not.

Final week

Hand off

You could stop working with us and lose nothing.

Code in your repository, accounts in your name, documentation written for whoever comes next, and a recorded handover session. Being genuinely replaceable is the point. A client who stays because leaving would be painful is not a client relationship we want.

Questions, answered.

What does Next Bot Solutions actually do?

We are an AI and software development agency working in two halves. On the AI side we train teams, build workflow automations with n8n, deploy company-wide AI skills, and build AI agents for WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, and custom apps. On the software side we design and build web applications, SaaS platforms, mobile apps, and fixed-price MVPs. Plenty of clients only ever need one half.

How much do your services cost?

Everything is quoted after a free consultation. We do not publish figures because the honest range on this kind of work is wide. A single-page website and a multi-platform application are both 'a build', and any headline number would anchor most readers to the wrong one. What we do commit to is a straight answer fast: tell us roughly what you need on the first call and you will get a real figure, not a discovery process designed to delay it. Every service page also lists what drives its price, so you can size your own job before you speak to us.

How does an engagement start?

With a free 30-minute call, and for AI work a free audit after it. The audit takes about a week: we look at how your team actually works and come back with a ranked list of opportunities scored by hours saved against effort. There is no cost and no obligation, and the list is yours whether or not you hire us.

Is the free AI audit really free?

Yes. No cost, no obligation, and no requirement to buy anything afterwards. You get a written, ranked list of where AI would pay off in your business, including the places it would not. Some companies have taken that list and done the work themselves, which is a perfectly good outcome as far as we are concerned.

Do we own what you build?

Yes, entirely. Code goes into your Git organisation from the first commit rather than being delivered at the end, hosting and third-party accounts are created in your name, and every project ships with documentation and a recorded handover. If you stopped working with us tomorrow, nothing would switch off.

Do I need technical staff to work with you?

No. Our AI training and automation work is designed for non-technical teams (operations leads, founders, finance, and support), and we handle the technical setup. If you do have engineers, we work alongside them using your conventions and review process rather than importing our own.

How new is the company?

Next Bot Solutions is young, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise. You will not find client logos we have not earned or testimonials we have not collected anywhere on this site. What we offer instead is the chance to test us cheaply before committing: a free call, a free audit, honest advice you can act on without us, and small fixed-price starting points. Judge the audit, then decide.

How is this different from just buying everyone an AI subscription?

A subscription gives your team a blank text box. This gives them specific, tested tools for the jobs your company actually does, built around your terminology, formats, and approval steps, available to everyone, and kept working as the underlying models change. The subscription is a prerequisite, not a substitute.

What happens when a customer gets frustrated?

Frustration is an escalation trigger we configure explicitly, alongside topic-based and confidence-based ones. The conversation moves to a human with the full transcript and a short summary attached, and the customer is told that is happening. Nobody should have to fight a bot to reach a person.

Who owns the code?

You do, from the first commit. We work in your GitHub organisation rather than delivering a handover at the end, so there is never a moment where your product exists only on our machines. That includes infrastructure configuration and deployment pipelines.

Is the fixed price genuinely fixed?

Yes, for the scope agreed in the scoping workshop. That is the trade: the scope is fixed too. If you decide mid-build to add something outside it, we quote that separately rather than absorbing it quietly and cutting corners elsewhere, which is how fixed-price projects usually go wrong.

Not sure which half you need? That is what the free audit is for.

One week, no cost, no obligation. We look at how your team works and come back with a ranked list of what would actually pay off, including the parts you should not pay anyone to do.
