I help small businesses and sole traders save hours a week with practical AI. No buzzwords, no overwhelm. Just tools that quietly do the boring jobs for you.
Trained through the University of Oxford's AI Programme. Based in Cornwall.
Whatever stage you're at, there's a simple way in. Start tiny or hand the lot over, your call.
One focused hour. We tackle the job eating most of your week and set up an AI tool that handles it. You leave with it working.
A done-for-you build. I set up the AI workflows your business needs, built around how you actually work, then show you how to run them.
A proper website for your business. Built in a fortnight, looked after for £35 a month. One price, said out loud.
A custom AI workspace, built around your business and set up in your own account. It handles your quotes, invoices, letters and marketing, so the day-to-day runs itself. My most complete done-for-you.
For you or your team. Hands-on sessions that turn AI from a buzzword into something you use every day.
Ready-to-use AI prompt packs for your trade. Copy, paste, done. The easiest way to dip a toe in.
Ongoing help on tap. I keep your tools running and build new ones as your business grows.
Same idea, sized to you. We settle on the right fit in a quick chat, no pressure.
For a sole trader. One core area sorted, set up in your own account, with a hand-over and a quick-start guide.
For an established small business. The full everyday suite of quotes, invoices, letters, emails and marketing, plus a custom template or two.
For a business with a team. Role-based setups, training for several people, and a bespoke tool if you need one.
Three quick questions for a rough idea of where to start. No email needed, and nothing is set in stone.
A starting point, not a fixed quote. We confirm the detail in a quick chat.
Most people find you on a phone, in a hurry, while looking at two other firms. If your site is slow, hard to read on a mobile, or your number is buried three taps down, you are not losing a design contest. You are losing the job.
Up to six pages, written and built for you. Built for phones first, because that is where your customers are. Your phone number and enquiry form on every page. Loads fast, nothing to install. Your Google Business listing sorted at the same time, so you show up when someone searches locally. Live in two weeks.
One off, half up front and half when it goes live. Up to six pages, words written for you, one proper round of changes, domain and email sorted. Live in two weeks.
Cancel with a month's notice. Hosting, security and backups. Text me a change and I do it, up to an hour a month. If it ever goes down, that is my problem, not yours.
What you do, who your customers are, and what you want the site to make happen. On the phone, at a time that suits you.
You send me photos and anything you already have. I do the rest. You are not left with homework.
I show you the finished site and you tell me what to change. One proper round, no drip feed.
I put it live and sort your Google listing. From then on it is looked after. You text me when you want something changed.
Not sure if yours needs doing? Send me the link and I will review it for free. No pitch, no jargon. You get an honest note back on the two or three things I would fix first.
Three simple steps. No tech knowledge needed at any point.
Tell me what's eating your time. A quick, friendly chat with no jargon and no pressure.
I build the AI tools that fix it, shaped around how you actually work.
You're left with something that runs, and the confidence to use it yourself.
Hi, I'm Lydia, the person behind Cove AI. I run a business here in Cornwall myself, so I know exactly how little spare time there is in a week.
I trained through the University of Oxford's AI Programme, but I've no interest in the hype. What I care about is the practical stuff: the small tools that save you an hour here and an afternoon there, until the whole week feels lighter.
No big systems you'll never use. No jargon. Just help that fits how you already work.
AI Programme
AI Without the Hype is my plain, practical guide to using AI in your small business, even if you've never tried it.
No jargon, no hype. Just real examples and copy-and-paste prompts for the everyday jobs: writing, admin, marketing, customers and planning. Read it in an evening, then start getting hours back.
Have a proper flick through the opening chapters before you buy. Tap the page edges, swipe, or use the buttons.
