What is on offer
The service has four steps. A free call about how your business runs. An audit of the work that is worth automating. The build and install of AI agents in tools you already use, such as email, your website and WhatsApp. Then training for your staff and ongoing support. Dean Keating starts with the single task that would make the most difference rather than a programme of everything at once.
You leave the first call with a plan you can use with him or without him. No price list is published; the cost is given after the call, with no obligation.
Consultant, not company
He is one consultant. This page does not describe him as a firm, and it does not rank him against anyone. If you are comparing consulting companies, the useful question is not size but what you receive at the end of the first meeting and who will do the work.
A comparison sheet you can copy
Put each provider in a column and fill the same rows:
- Do they build and install, or only advise?
- Which of my existing tools do they work inside?
- Who trains my staff?
- What happens after the build, and who supports it?
- What do I hold if I stop after the first call?
- Where are they based, and can they visit if I want that?
For Dean Keating, the answers are: he builds and installs; email, web and WhatsApp are among the tools his website names; training and support are his last step; the plan is yours; and he is in Horndean, Hampshire, with remote working anywhere in the UK and visits possible in Hampshire or nearby.
An Indian restaurant as the test case
This directory lists 33 Indian restaurants and takeaways: 14 in Grays, 5 in Stanford-le-Hope, 4 in South Ockendon and the rest across the borough, on 10 October 2026. See the Indian restaurants category. Picture an owner choosing a consultant. The question that separates providers is plain: when a group asks by email on a Wednesday night whether a table is free on Saturday, what will the setup do? A consultant who can answer in terms of your actual inbox, diary and WhatsApp is more use than one who describes AI in general.
What it is not
It is not a course, a phone-answering service or a chatbot product. If your need is one of those, say so before the call.
