What types of AI can gecco implement for my business?
gecco works across three types of AI. Assistants are chat-based tools trained on your business knowledge. Automations connect your tools and remove repetitive manual work. Agents take action on your behalf across multi-step tasks. We are vendor-neutral, so we match the right type and platform to your needs, not the other way round.
Do I need technical expertise to work with gecco?
No. gecco handles the setup, training and integration. Your team learns to use the tools we build, and we train them to do exactly that. Most SMEs we work with have no in-house AI expertise before they start. We put 80 percent of our focus on your people and culture, and 20 percent on the technology.
How long does a typical AI implementation take?
Our Quick-Start programme delivers your first AI assistants in four to six weeks. Larger rollouts with more assistants, automations or system integrations take longer. You get a clear timeline at the start of every engagement, so there are no surprises.
What does gecco charge for AI implementation?
Our Quick-Start programme is a one-off fixed fee. Monthly retainers cover ongoing support, new assistants and continuous improvement. Automation and AI agent projects are priced per engagement. Book a free AI Advisory Meeting and we will give you a quote tailored to your business.
What is the gecco Quick-Start programme?
The Quick-Start programme takes your team from nothing to a working AI setup in four to six weeks for a one-off fee of £10,000. You get your AI workspace set up, 20 ready-made assistants, 5 custom assistants built around your business, and our full training programme. It is not a one-off service. It is the start of a partnership that takes you from assistants to automations to agents.
What is included in the Quick-Start programme?
Five things. Your AI workspace, configured and ready. 20 out-of-the-box assistants, each tailored to you through your core documents. 5 custom assistants we build with your team during the programme. Our training, from onboarding to hands-on practical workshops. And AI champion training, so your team can keep going after we step back.
Is AI too expensive for a business like mine?
Most teams find AI costs less than they expect. A tailored AI workspace is around £20 to £30 per user per month, roughly £1 per user per day. If that saves each person even two hours a week, the return is high. Costs usually climb when a business buys ten separate tools for ten teams, with ten subscriptions and ten things to train. One well-equipped workspace does the same job for far less.
We have tried AI before and it did not work. Why would this be different?
Most failed attempts come down to two things. The tools were never customised to sound like your business or learn your processes, and the team were never given real training or time to experiment. A tick-box rollout of a generic tool is not adoption. gecco builds custom assistants around your top problems, trains your team hands-on, and treats adoption as 80 percent people and 20 percent technology. That is the difference.
Which AI platform do you use, and does it matter?
gecco is vendor-neutral. We are the only company in the UK partnered with both Anthropic and OpenAI, but we will happily deploy on Gemini, Copilot or the Google suite if that suits you better. We will never push a platform that serves us over you. The platform matters far less than training your people to use it well.
What happens after the Quick-Start programme?
You are not left on your own. The programme ends with AI champion training so your team can keep adopting AI independently. If you want us to stay involved, you can move onto one of three monthly retainers, Maintain, Grow or Max. Many clients see us as their outsourced AI department. We have kept 100 percent of our clients so far.
How do we get started?
Three steps. Take the free AI readiness survey, which scores your adoption, platforms, systems and culture and gives you a tailored report plus 65 free resources. Use the free AI consultation that comes with it. Then, if the Quick-Start programme is right for you, book a call and we will map out a custom AI workspace for your business.
