AI Consulting Services in Guildford: What a Small Business Should Expect to Receive

Three things "consulting" can mean

The same word covers very different purchases. Some consultants hand over a report and leave. Some run a workshop. Some build the thing. Before you compare prices or names, decide which of those you are after, because they are not interchangeable.

What the service from Dean Keating includes

Dean builds AI agents and installs them in the tools a business already uses, so the output is something working, not a document. The sequence on his website is a free call, an audit of the work worth automating, the build and install, and training and support.

He starts with the single task that makes the most difference. You finish the free call with a plan that you can take away and use with him or without him, which is a fair test of any consultant: would the advice still be worth having if you never hired them?

One consultant or a consulting company

Searches often say "companies", so this needs saying plainly. Dean is a consultant. He is not a company with a consulting arm, and this page will not describe him as one.

What that means for you: you deal with the person who builds, trains and supports it. A larger company may offer a wider bench of specialists. Weigh that against how much you value a direct line.

An example from the takeaway trade

The directory listed 37 takeaways on 10 October 2026: 20 in GU1 and 14 in GU2. Picture one of them on a Friday evening. Messages arrive by WhatsApp and email asking about opening hours, delivery areas and whether an order has gone out. The owner is behind the counter.

An agent can answer the common questions, sort the messages into the ones that need a person and pass those on quickly, and send updates and confirmations. A person still handles anything about a complaint or something that went wrong. Browse the takeaways on this site.

Questions that separate providers

• What exactly will I have at the end of the work?
• Is it installed in the tools I use now, or do I have to move?
• Who trains my staff, and who do I call afterwards?
• When is the cost given, and is the first conversation free?

Where he is

Dean is based in Horndean, Hampshire, not in Guildford, and sets everything up remotely. His website says he can visit businesses in Hampshire or nearby. If you want a consultant in the room, say so at the start and look at providers nearer to you.

Cost

There is no published price list. The cost is given after the free call, with no obligation.
