- your AI Employee never clocks off
- 2 weeks
- from first call to first results
The problem
Most businesses don't have an AI problem. They have a workflow problem.
Chatbots don't fix operations. AI only pays for itself when it's wired into the systems where the work actually happens — your email, your documents, your CRM, your calendar.
Email overload
Inboxes triaged by the most expensive people in the company.
Manual follow-ups
Quotes, invoices and leads chased by memory — or not at all.
Reporting by hand
Hours copy-pasting numbers into the same weekly report.
Knowledge in heads
The business runs on things only two people know.
The product
Meet your AI Employee.
Imagine a teammate that never forgets, never sleeps, and works inside every system you already use.
One orchestrator, connected to your real systems — running on infrastructure dedicated to you alone.
Morning briefing
A daily digest of what matters: urgent emails, deadlines, cash, follow-ups due.
Email triage & drafting
Reads every inbox you point it at, flags what's important, drafts the replies.
Reports on demand
Weekly sales report, month-end pack, board summary — generated, not assembled.
Second brain
Records decisions, remembers clients, retrieves anything on request.
Scheduled tasks
Recurring jobs — chase invoices, check stock, monitor competitors — on a cron, forever.
Custom skills
Teach it your processes once; it executes them the same way every time.
The process
Understand → Identify → Build → Operate
01
Understand
A discovery review of how your business actually runs: tools, inboxes, workflows, time-sinks.
02
Identify
An AI Opportunity Map — every automation scored by hours saved, feasibility and risk.
03
Build
We deploy your AI Employee on dedicated infrastructure and wire it into your systems.
04
Operate
We monitor, maintain and keep improving it — you get a partner, not a handover PDF.
Services
Everything from first audit to a team of agents.
Start anywhere — every piece works on its own, and they compound together. All of it monitored and improved under one monthly retainer.
AI Ops Audit
A 70-question audit across 10 areas of your business — scored readiness, bespoke strategy, and ROI in pounds, before you spend anything on tech.
AI Assistant Deployment
Your own AI assistant on a dedicated private server — orchestrator, Telegram interface, daily briefings, second brain. Set up, secured and run for you.
Email & Inbox Integration
Connect Gmail, Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 so your assistant reads, tracks and triages every inbox — flagging what matters and drafting the replies.
Workflow Automation (n8n)
Quote follow-ups, invoice chasing, report generation, renewals — built as reliable n8n workflows your assistant can trigger and monitor.
CRM, Data & Custom Apps
SuiteCRM as your system of record, Supabase for custom apps and databases, private web research — all wired to your assistant via API.
Agent Teams & Custom Skills
Teach the AI your processes as reusable skills — then scale from one assistant to a coordinated team of specialised agents as you grow.
Who it's for
If your team spends hours on things a machine could do in seconds, we should talk.

"The best way to prove AI works for a business is to show your own business running on it."
Tech Yoda is run by Ben Jehan. By day he runs the technology side of a B2B SaaS business in the mining industry; by night his own AI Employee reads his inbox, enriches his CRM, writes his briefings and runs his pipeline — from a computer the size of a paperback. Tech Yoda exists to give small and medium businesses the same unfair advantage: not another chatbot, but a working AI system inside the operation, built and operated by someone who uses one every single day.

FAQ
Questions we hear a lot.
Do we need technical people in-house?▾
No. We handle deployment, integration and operations end to end. Your team interacts with the AI Employee through the tools they already use — email, Telegram, chat — and we train them at handover.
What systems can it work with?▾
Gmail and Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, most CRMs (including SuiteCRM), accounting and project tools with an API, documents and spreadsheets, plus private web research. If it has an API or an inbox, we can usually wire it in.
How fast do we see results?▾
The AI Ops Audit takes two weeks. An AI Employee typically goes live 2–4 weeks after that, with the daily briefing and email triage delivering value from the first week.
Is this only for big companies?▾
The opposite. Our sweet spot is owner-led businesses from a handful of staff to a couple of hundred — the companies where 10 saved hours a week is genuinely transformative.
What's the ROI?▾
Typical results: 10+ hours a week saved across the team, faster response times, fewer dropped leads, cleaner data. And you don't have to take it on faith — the audit's Strategy Report computes your expected ROI in pounds from your own numbers, with the workings shown.
What about hallucinations and mistakes?▾
We design for accuracy over flash: strict factual rules, source citations, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints for anything critical. Our first deployments run under a hard 'no guessing' policy — the AI says 'I don't know' rather than inventing an answer.
Can we start with just the Audit?▾
Yes — the AI Ops Audit is a standalone deliverable: two reports and a roadmap you could execute with anyone. Most clients continue with us, but there's no lock-in.
Do you work in French?▾
Oui. Full French-language deployments — prompts, briefings and interface — are available at no extra cost.
