Questions
AI for small business — straight answers.
What is Katalis?
Katalis is an independent AI consultancy for small and medium businesses in the UK. We help you find where AI genuinely helps, train your team to use it, and build it into your tools, apps and website. The AI guide on our homepage runs the whole site — it's a live demo of what we do.
What can AI actually do for a small business?
The practical wins are usually the admin, not the magic: answering the same customer questions 24/7, taking bookings and cutting no-shows, drafting quotes and replies, chasing invoices, and turning notes or reviews into actions. We only put AI where it saves you real time or money.
Is my data safe?
It's the thing most owners worry about, and rightly. Where it matters we can build private setups so nothing sensitive leaves your business, and we always tell you where your data goes before anything goes live.
Will AI replace my staff?
That's not the aim, and it rarely plays out that way. AI takes the repetitive grind so your people can do the human work that actually needs them. Most small businesses free their team up rather than cut it.
Do I need to be technical?
Not at all. We do the hard part and teach your team the easy part — no computer science degree required.
How much does it cost?
As a rough guide: a focused AI audit from £495, training from about £650 a half-day, and a first build usually £2,000–£5,000 plus a little each month to run it — all + VAT. The honest figure depends on your setup, and the first chat is free.
How do I get started?
