What it's like to work with Artificia1

Taking the admin off the human path

Luminous spent months experimenting with AI, but weren't seeing the benefit. In one hackathon day the whole business learned the same frameworks in the morning and used them on real client work in the afternoon.

“When I say it has changed my life for the better, it honestly, genuinely has.”

Our founder, Matt, on his AI value

“Over two hours we automated our daily newsletters, benchmarking and gap analysis work.”

Luminous, on what got built

“Taking admin off the human path, so people do the thing they are really, exceptionally good at.”

How our AI-101 Training runs

One day of training fades. An adoption mindset keeps you moving.

Every engagement we run comes with a return visit to properly embed the teams new found AI skills.

How we implement AI, without breaking the business

Before you switch AI on, know what it can see.

Copilot, Claude or ChatGPT works within the permissions your Microsoft 365 tenant already has, including years of over-sharing nobody has looked at. The day it gets turned on, every file a person has permission to, but never knew about, becomes something they can easily find.

Our M365 AI Safety Audit checks more than 60 points across Entra, Purview, SharePoint, Teams and OneDrive, then tells you exactly what to fix and in what order, before anyone finds out the expensive way.

Runs remotely over four to six weeks

You get a full findings report, a one-page executive summary for the board, and a playback session with Q+A.

Most clients add it alongside training, to know that it's safe to switch AI on in the first place.

Questions from businesses we've worked with before

Answers to your most common AI adoption questions

What if it does not work for us?

You will know, in numbers, within eight weeks. Every cohort is surveyed before and after, so the shift in hours and confidence is measured rather than felt. If the second survey shows a gap, the follow-up clinic is where we close it, and that clinic is already in the price. We do not recommend anything we cannot tie to hours saved, cost avoided or revenue protected. If it is not there, we say so.

What does it cost, and is the price fixed?

Which AI tools do you work with?

Is our data safe?

How long does it take?

Our team is not technical. Will they keep up?

What happens after the project ends?

You do not have to work this out alone.

Bring your team size and the tools you already pay for. You leave with your three fastest wins written down and a straight answer on where to start, whether or not you hire us. No hard sell.
