AI & Automation Consultancy  ·  UK

Find the hours hiding in your week.

Test Card AI is an AI and automation consultancy for small businesses. We find the handful of changes that will give you back your time — and tell you honestly which ones aren't worth the trouble.

What we do

We run a discovery call with you, then send back an honest assessment of where AI and automation will actually save you time. Quick wins, costed and prioritised. Tools that work with what you already use. A four-day plan to get the first one live. Built for small businesses, not enterprise.


In practice

What this looks like in practice.

Reporting

Replacing four hours of weekly manual reporting with a scheduled dashboard.

Email

Drafting customer emails from templates that actually populate themselves.

Operations

Turning a paper handover sheet into a shared list everyone updates from their phone.

Marketing

Setting up review-request automations so they happen even in your busiest months.

Finance

Cutting wages-run admin from a half-day to twenty minutes.

Process, not software

Replacing a broken 15-step process with a working 7-step one — before automating it.

// Sometimes the answer isn't software. We'll tell you when.

How we work

A short, honest engagement — not a retainer.

01

Discovery call.

45–60 min · free

A proper conversation about how the business runs, where time is going, and what's getting in your way. No prep needed.

02

Assessment report.

Within a week

A written report with every recommendation costed and prioritised on an effort vs. impact matrix. Quick wins, things to fix first, and anything we'd advise against doing.

03

Implementation plan.

Four days

For the quick wins you green-light, a day-by-day plan to get them live. Often something you can do yourself with the report in hand.

04

Implementation.

Optional

If you'd rather we did it, we will. Fixed scope, fixed price, agreed up front.

Clients

What clients say.

"We'd been talking about 'doing something with AI' for a year. Test Card AI gave us a list of five things to actually do, in priority order, with the prices next to them. We did the first three in a fortnight."

"What I appreciated most was being told which things weren't worth doing. Every other consultant we'd spoken to wanted to sell us a platform."

"The report paid for itself in the first month. I've got my Sunday evenings back."

Self-check

Sound familiar?

  • Spending hours each week on a report that should write itself?
  • Drafting the same email for the hundredth time?
  • Sitting on a customer list you've never properly used?
  • Watching a member of staff do something a tool could do in seconds?
  • Putting off a task because it'll take half a day you don't have?

If any of these sound familiar, the discovery call is free. The assessment is where the work starts.

About

Most small businesses don't need an AI strategy. They need someone honest to tell them which three tools to use and which ten to ignore.

Test Card AI was set up to do exactly that. We start with how your business actually runs, look at the tools you've already got, and only recommend something new when it'll genuinely save you time. We'll tell you when the answer is a process fix, not software. We don't take referral fees from any tool we recommend.
