Started on the tools, then years in service management - job scheduling, compliance, field teams, and the paperwork that slows it all down. Samuel builds software because he's lived the problem from the inside.

We're Seahorse. We build AI employees, bespoke apps and automations that hand SMEs their time back - digital teammates designed around how you already work, live in weeks.
We work inside the tools you already pay for
Custom integrations available
Seahorse is a two-founder AI consultancy and custom software studio based on Teesside. We work with businesses of 5 to 100 staff, mostly across the North East and remotely UK-wide: engineering and lifting firms, manufacturers, trades and professional services that run on spreadsheets, paper or a tool that nearly fits.
We build two things. Bespoke software shaped around how you actually operate, and AI employees: agents that learn your processes, plug into the tools you already pay for and finish manual jobs end to end. Most projects go live in two to six weeks, every project is fixed price after a free scoping call, and you own the code, the data and the accounts from day one.
Durham Lifting saves £42,000 a year with a system we built and grew a department 30% in twelve months. If something in your business costs hours every week, start with a free process audit.

The system your business actually runs on.
You get Samuel or George - the people who build it.

Digital teammates that clear the admin while you sleep.
The screens below are illustrations of the systems, with example data.
Not a chatbot bolted onto your website. An AI employee that lives in your systems, writes in your voice, works every department and does not stop at half five.
