A demonstration · applied AI
What building with AI actually looks like
Three pieces of real work, in three different trades. Messy information goes in, rules somebody wrote get applied, and out comes the format their organisation already expects. Press the button and watch one happen.
Ashcombe Mutual, a building society
The quarterly return nobody can check by hand
Sixty-two thousand rows arrive from the core system every quarter, and some of them are wrong. Amounts held as text. Branch codes that are not on the master list. Dates that are not dates. Eight rules decide what can be reported, and somebody has to be able to defend every figure in it.
The real run takes 3.1 seconds. Played back over 29 seconds, slowly enough to read what it is doing.

Marlowe & Finch, an agency hiring for six roles
Twelve hundred applications, and a reason for every no
Twelve hundred applications came in over three months, through five channels, for six jobs, and no two are written the same way. Seven rules do the screening, and they were written down before a single application arrived. That ordering is the whole point.
The real run takes 0.3 seconds. Played back over 26 seconds, slowly enough to read what it is doing.

Fennel & Fig, a spring range
One brief, fifty-nine sizes, five channels
One campaign has to ship in fifty-nine sizes across five channels. Every retailer sent their spec differently and half of them spell the channel another way. Seven rules carry the studio's standards, the ones that used to live in one person's head and get applied differently at eleven at night.
The real run takes 3.0 seconds. Played back over 28 seconds, slowly enough to read what it is doing.

The same five beats, every time
Whatever the trade, this work has the same five parts. Once you can see them you start spotting them in your own week, which is the only thing this page is for.
- 01The messThe real input, at real volume, in the software you already use.
- 02The rulesWritten by a person, in their own words, once. Applied to every record, every time.
- 03The runOn your own machine. Nothing has to leave the building.
- 04The catchWhat it found that a person would have missed, and what it hands back for a decision.
- 05The outputThe format your organisation already expects, with the figures carried through rather than re-typed.
What you would need to bring. The work you already repeat, a few examples of it done properly, the software you already licence, and a person who can tell a right answer from a wrong one. That last one does not go away. Checking the output is the new job, and it is the part worth being clear about.
None of this is anyone's real data. Every firm, record and candidate here is invented, generated by code, and reproducible from a fixed starting number. We do not demonstrate on a client's material, and we will not ask for yours until there is an agreement.
These are recordings of runs that really happened, captured on 13 August 2026 by the same code that draws the live progress list. The stages, their order, the notes and the files are exactly what those runs produced. The pace is slowed so it can be read, and each demo states what the run really took. The page itself has no backend: it cannot execute anything and there is nowhere to upload a document to. That is deliberate.
Where these actually run. On a machine in the building, reading files that never leave it. That is a system in its own right, and it has a page of its own.
