Business Operations · AI Implementation

Your business is growing.
Your systems aren't keeping up.

Clanai helps small businesses cut through the noise, choose the right AI tools, and implement them properly — so you get real results instead of another subscription nobody uses.

01
The right tools exist. You just don't know which ones.
There are thousands of AI tools available. Most small businesses either ignore them or buy the wrong ones. The gap isn't the technology — it's knowing what actually fits your operation.
02
Bought tools that nobody actually uses.
You've tried. The subscriptions are running. But nothing got implemented properly, the team didn't buy in, and you're back to doing it the old way. Implementation is the hard part.
03
You're the bottleneck in your own business.
Everything runs through you. Sales, support, decisions, onboarding. You started this to do the thing you're good at — not to firefight the operation every day.

Three ways to work together

Every engagement starts with understanding your business. Then we find the right tools, implement them properly, and make sure your team actually uses them.

How it works

No guesswork, no generic advice. Every engagement is built around how your business actually operates.

01
Discovery call

A free 30-minute conversation about your business, your operation and what's slowing you down. No pitch — just a straight assessment of whether and how I can help.

02
Ops Audit

A half-day deep dive into how your business runs. I map every process, find where time and money are leaking, and identify the specific tools that would make the biggest difference.

03
Implementation

I build and configure the right systems — properly, for your specific operation. Not a template. Not a generic setup. Something that fits how you actually work.

04
Embedded & running

Your team is trained, the systems are documented, and everything is running. Ongoing support available as your business grows and the tools evolve.

Built for owner-managed businesses

If any of these sound familiar, we should talk.

  • You're growing, but the way you've always operated is starting to slow you down
  • You've bought AI tools or software that nobody's actually using properly
  • Sales leads fall through the cracks because there's no proper process
  • Customer queries land in three different places and whoever picks them up deals with them
  • You're the bottleneck — everything runs through you and you can't step back
  • You know you need to work smarter but don't have time to figure out the technology
The Clanai difference

I'm not selling you a platform. I'm helping you choose the right one.

Most businesses fail at AI adoption not because the tools are bad — but because they picked the wrong ones, implemented them badly, and had no one to make them stick.

Clanai is vendor-neutral. I work with what fits your business: HubSpot, Make, Zapier, ChatGPT, Claude, Notion, Freshdesk — whatever the right answer is for how you operate. Not what I'm paid to recommend.

The name Clanai comes from the Gaelic word for clan — the idea that a business only works well when the systems hold, everyone knows their role, and the whole thing moves together. That's what I build.

Sectors: telecoms, energy, digital, events

There are thousands of AI tools available. Most small businesses either ignore them entirely or buy the wrong ones — and either way, nothing changes. The gap isn't the technology. It's having someone who understands your business, knows the tools, and can bridge the two properly.

I'm Michael, founder of Clanai. I bring 15+ years of commercial and operational experience across telecoms, energy, digital transformation and events. I've worked inside businesses during the moments they find hardest — system migrations, rapid growth, operational chaos — and I know exactly where things break and what it takes to fix them.

I'm not here to sell you a platform or push a particular tool. I work out what your business actually needs, find the right tools to deliver it, and make sure they're implemented in a way your team will genuinely use. Vendor-neutral, practically focused, and always starting from how your business actually operates — not how a template assumes it does.

Every business is a system. When the parts work together properly, everything moves. That's what I build.
