The report in the drawer
Plenty of businesses have paid for advice that ended in a slide deck. The deck said what could be automated. Nobody built it. Six months later the drawer, or the shared folder, has a report in it.
A test case: the solicitor's office
On 10 October 2026 the directory listed 38 solicitors, 26 of them in GU1. A small firm shows what an install needs to cope with. Enquiries come in by email and web form. Each needs a prompt, careful reply. Some contain private details. And the first answer cannot be a legal opinion.
An adviser would tell this firm to automate enquiry handling. An installer would do it: set up the first reply, route the enquiry to the right fee earner, book the call and remind the person. Both can be worth paying for. They are different jobs.
What installing involves
Dean Keating does the second kind. The four steps on his website are a free call, an audit of the work worth automating, the build and install, then training and support. He starts with one task. What gets built runs in the tools the firm already has.
Limits to set in advance
For a firm handling confidential matters, decide before anything is built what the agent may see, what it may say, and when it must hand over. The first reply can acknowledge and ask for contact details. It should not give an opinion on a matter.
Where he works from
Horndean, Hampshire. The installation is remote. His website says he can visit businesses in Hampshire or nearby. If your firm wants to meet in person, say so on the first call and look at other providers too.
Questions for any installer
Who builds it? Who is there when it breaks? What do I own at the end? What will you refuse to automate?
