A small, independent British AI company

Calm technology for brilliant brains.

AiTomatic builds private, on-device tools to help close the neurodivergent employment gap. We start from lived experience, build it properly, and keep your words on your phone.

Pick up prescription

When

Ring Mum, this weekend

Thought

You have been meaning to call her. No rush.

The why

It started with people, not technology.

I spent years as a Work Coach, sitting across from young people who were bright and capable and quietly worn out by tools that were never built for how they think. In time I realised I was one of them. I was diagnosed later than most, and a lot of my life made sense at once.

So I taught myself to build, so I could make the thing I always needed and never found. AiTomatic is that work, done carefully and in the open. It is a bridge from lived experience, to engineering, to a company that keeps its promises as it grows.

What we are building

Sanctuary, our first app.

Speak a ramble and Sanctuary gently sorts it into tasks, dates and thoughts. It runs on your device, asks almost nothing of you, and is built to be used as little as possible.

Voice first. Say it the messy way. The sorting is the app's job, not yours.

Private by construction. There is no server. Your rambles stay encrypted on your phone.

The first of a patient suite. One well-made tool at a time, never a pile of features.

How we build

Quiet principles we do not bend.

Private by default

Your words stay on your phone. On-device first, always. No ads, no trackers, nothing sold. We cannot read or surrender what we never receive.

Built with, not at

Designed with neurodivergent people, not for an average that leaves them out. Difference, not deficit. Accessibility sits at the heart, never bolted on.

Restraint as a promise

No dark patterns, no manufactured urgency, no growth at the cost of trust. We add things slowly, and only when they have earned their place.

Occasional, quiet updates.

A short note when there is something real to share, like Sanctuary opening up. No noise, and you can leave any time.

We will only email you about AiTomatic. No sharing, no spam.

Thank you, you are on the list.
