You work with me directly, from the first call to the final build.

Illustration of an Airtable-style grid: each step of a team’s workflow is marked as run by a person, AI, automation or left outside, with an opportunity rating.

Why AI stalls

AI can’t run on scattered trackers and siloed systems.

A new tool on its own won’t fix it. The gaps sit between systems and teams, not inside one tool.

Spreadsheet trackers hold critical work outside any system.
Every team and supplier brings its own mandated tool, and they never meet.
Legacy systems that have had their time sit unconnected.
Hand-offs between teams and suppliers run on emails, meetings and re-keying. That’s where the time goes.

The difference

A home for your team’s work, not another tool with AI added on.

Another tool with AI added A home for your team’s work
Starts from The software, and what it can do How your team’s work really runs
AI Layered on afterwards, wherever it fits Placed step by step, where it belongs, and kept out where it doesn’t
Hand-offs Still emails, exports and re-keying Joined up, with the friction taken out
Who decides The tool’s defaults You. Step by step: person, AI or outside

Built on Airtable: flexible where your team needs it, enterprise-grade where IT needs it.

Working with Tom

An independent Airtable consultant. You work with me directly, from the first map to the final build.

One consultant, start to finish

No hand-off from a sales lead to a delivery team. You explain it once, and decisions happen in the room.

AI where it belongs, and not where it doesn’t

You choose what’s for people, what’s for AI, what gets automated and what stays outside, so AI earns its place.

Built with your team, not around them

You’re never locked into me. Your team understands and owns what we build together through regular working sessions.

Enterprise-tested

I’ve worked with regulated enterprise organisations before, so IT, security, scale and governance won’t come as a surprise.

Step by step, you choose

Everything in its place.

Every step of your team’s work gets a home. You decide who, or what, runs it.

For people

The judgement calls

Decisions, sign-offs and conversations stay with your people, with everything they need in one place.

For AI

The steps it does well

Summarising, drafting, checking and moving data between steps, working on structured data it can trust.

Stays outside

The systems you have to keep

Mandated tools, supplier portals and finance systems stay where they are, connected rather than replaced.

How we work together

The journey I recommend

Three steps from spreadsheet trackers to an AI-ready home for your team’s work.

  1. Start here

    01 · AI fit and opportunity map

    Your process mapped across teams and suppliers, every step marked person, AI, automated or outside, every hand-off costed. You leave with a blueprint for the build, and a clear go or no-go decision.

  2. Build

    02 · Trackers to systems

    Move the team off trackers into a proper operations build, in Airtable, connected to the tools you have to keep, with the hand-offs and friction removed.

  3. Run

    03 · Managed AI operations

    I run and tune the automations and AI agents the map called for. Together we evolve your system over time.

Considering or using Airtable?

Good news, you’re part-way there.

Plenty of teams come to me with Airtable already in the building, or on the shortlist. These are the moments I help most.

Another department uses Airtable. Would it work for us? → Start with your work mapped and the build done right from day one, joined up with the teams already on it. A blueprint and proof of concept help you decide with confidence. Airtable is spreading, but it’s still trackers → Your footprint is growing across teams, but it’s still used like spreadsheets. You’re ready to build proper systems on it, and with Airtable already approved, you can launch much sooner. It works, but it doesn’t connect → Airtable runs the team, yet sits apart from the rest of the business. Data gets re-keyed, exported and chased. Get help with integrations and IT compliance, and make the most of Airtable syncs. Where do AI and vibe coding fit with our Airtable? → People are building apps and trying AI around your bases. Keep that energy, without the sprawl. I help you decide what needs it, and avoid fragmented apps, security gaps and problems at scale.

Why Airtable? It’s my tool of choice for operations teams, and I’m honest about where it isn’t the answer.

Before you invest, take a step back.
