AI consultant in Bristol
I'm Rich, an AI consultant based in Bristol. I build AI systems for small businesses and sole traders across Bristol, Bath and the South West.
AI is the biggest shift since the internet, and for a small team it counts for even more. Most of the businesses I sit down with already use AI, and there's usually a lot more it could be doing for them.
Book a 30 minute callFree, and the write-up is yours to keep whether we work together or not.
How it works
Thirty minutes and a cup of tea, and it's mostly me asking questions. What gets typed out twice, what sits waiting until Friday, and which jobs only you can do.
FreeA few days later you get a document. Every repeat job in your business that could be handed to AI, what each one costs you in hours and pounds a month, and the AI roles you could bring in now. Plenty aren't worth doing anything about, and I'll say so.
Free, and yours to keepIf you like the look of the list, we pick one off it and I build it, priced and agreed before I start. It runs inside your business, on the tools you already pay for, and I show you and your team how to use it.
From £450You can walk after step two. The write-up is yours whether you pay me anything or not.
Sound familiar?
AI can already do more than you think. These are the three I see most.
Writing up estimates by hand at 9pm. Describe the job out loud instead and get a tidy version back in seconds.
How AI handles itThe review request, the repeat booking, the unpaid invoice. The jobs that grow the business, always last on the list.
How AI handles itYour sales figures, your ad spend, your customer patterns. AI can pull those apart and tell you what's working, in plain English, whenever you ask.
How AI handles itThe gap is the whole job.

About Day Eight
Rich Tyler
Southville, Bristol
I've spent the last few years writing and winning public tenders for an EV charging company, watching capable people use AI at about a tenth of what it can do. Most of the businesses I meet are the same. Nearly all of them use AI in some way, and most have room to get a lot more out of it.
So I start with a call and a write-up. You get the full picture of what's possible in your business, in plain English, before any money changes hands.
I'm local, so if you'd rather talk it through in person, we can grab a coffee somewhere in Bristol. If you want to ask me something, ask.
More about me and how I workYour AI team
Most of these are simpler to build than people expect. Usually it's a properly set up Claude project or custom GPT with your documents, your tone and your process inside it. The skill is knowing what to put in and what to leave out.

Good one. That's what the free call is for.
Send it to me and I'll come back with how I'd set it up, what it will and won't do, and what it would cost.
Examples of what I set up. Each one runs in your own accounts, and nothing goes out without your OK.
There's a lot of noise about what AI could be. In practice it's a small number of things, running quietly, every day.
“Rich helped me revamp my website, designed my brand logo and business cards, and we're working on outreach together now. All the things I'd normally be paying an agency to do.”
How we work together
You'll know what I'm building, why, and what it's worth before anything is agreed. No day rates and no meter running.
£450one-off
I set up Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini, whichever you pay for, with your prices, documents and tone of voice inside it, then train you and your team.
£695one-off, £800 bought separately
Everything in Day One, plus a fix pack so customers asking ChatGPT, Gemini or Google's AI answers who to use can find you.
From £1,250fixed quote in writing
A custom build connected to the tools you already use. Quotes, follow-ups, reporting, whatever the audit shows is worth doing.
Just want to be found in AI answers? Get found in AI answers on its own is £350. I check how ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI answers describe your business, then hand you a ready-to-paste fix pack for your website and listings. This is answer engine optimisation (AEO) and generative engine optimisation (GEO).
Each plan comes with a set number of hours, so you know what you're paying for. I take on a small number of monthly clients so each one gets proper attention.
£245a month, cancel any time
Up to 4 hours a month
Someone on hand, and something new every month.
£595a month, 3 month minimum
Up to 12 hours a month
For when you want AI taking on more of your week, month by month.
£995a month, 3 month minimum
Up to 20 hours a month
AI across the whole business, with me as your part-time AI lead.
Monthly plans start after a fixed-fee project, so the setup is always done first. Grow and Your AI team have a three month minimum, then you can cancel any time. Hours you don't use don't roll over.
You pay for your own Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini plan directly. I don't resell anything.
Questions
Ask me anything. I'd rather be useful than sell you anything.
Yes. The call and the write-up cost you nothing but half an hour. If you don't want to work together after that, you keep the document anyway.
Fixed fees first: Day One is £450, Day One + Found by AI is £695, and custom builds start at £1,250. Get found on its own is £350. After that, monthly plans are priced by the hours you need each month: Keep it running is £245 a month, Grow is £595 and Your AI team is £995. You get a fixed price in writing before I start, with no day rates and no meter running.
They're how your business shows up when someone asks an AI tool who to use. Answer engine optimisation (AEO) and generative engine optimisation (GEO) do for ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI answers what SEO does for a normal Google search. Get found in AI answers is £350 on its own, it's included in Day One + Found by AI at £695, and every monthly plan includes a monthly AI visibility check.
Whichever you already pay for: Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. I set it up inside your own account, so you own everything and nothing is resold on top.
The call is 30 minutes and the write-up lands a few days later. Setting it up usually takes a week or two from when we agree what to build.
That's the point. Everything runs inside the tools you already pay for, so there's no new software to learn and no separate login for you to manage.
Yes. Some of the best fits are one-person businesses. You're the one typing everything out twice, so you feel the difference fastest.
It stays inside accounts you control, on tools you already trust. I don't take copies of your data or store it on my own systems.
I'm based in Southville, Bristol, and work with businesses across Bristol, Bath, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire and the rest of South West England, in person or remote.
Probably not, if you're a small business or sole trader. Day Eight is built for businesses of one to twenty people. The call and the audit are free, setup starts at £450, and you deal with me the whole way through.
We pick the next thing off the list, priced and agreed the same way. Monthly plans are there if you want me on hand, but nothing is automatic. You choose each time.
Tell me a bit about your business and what's on your mind. I'll write up what's worth doing with AI in yours, free and yours to keep either way. On the phone, or over a coffee somewhere in Bristol.
