# Nick Kuh, AI Builder - Bespoke Agents for Business > Nick Kuh is a UK-based AI builder, consultant and lead product engineer. He builds bespoke autonomous AI agents for successful small businesses and helps owners build their own AI team on Claude (using Claude Cowork and Claude Code). Nick builds these AI teams for clients and, crucially, shows business owners how to build and own them themselves, so the wins and the skills stay in-house. No black box, no per-seat subscription. ## What it is - Hands-on AI consultancy that gives a business its own team of autonomous AI agents, each doing a real job. - Built on Claude (Claude Cowork and Claude Code), not a black box: clients learn to build, run and extend the agents themselves, and own what gets built. - The payoff is concrete: win more business, make more money, and get free time back from admin. ## Who it's for - Owners and leaders of successful small businesses (roughly £1-5 million turnover, 10 to 50 people) who want AI doing real work, not just answering chat prompts. - Businesses that win work through quotes, proposals and tenders, and want the drafting done for them. - People who want to own the capability long term rather than rent a done-for-you automation service. - Owner-operators in trades, services and other established small businesses who already use ChatGPT daily and want to add or switch to Claude with expert, hands-on help. ## Hands-on Claude setup: from ChatGPT to Claude - For UK business owners who already use ChatGPT heavily and want Claude set up properly by an expert, without losing what ChatGPT already knows about them. - Format: two one-to-one remote half-days over Google Meet. The owner shares their screen and drives their own machine while Nick guides, so they learn by doing. - Session 1: review the current ChatGPT setup, tour Claude Desktop (Chat, Cowork, Code, Design), move memory, custom instructions, projects and routines to Claude, and connect Claude to email, calendar, files and business tools via connectors (MCPs). - Session 2: one shared source of truth that ChatGPT and Claude both work from, the terminal without fear, connecting to business systems, building a live dashboard, and creating reusable Claude skills bundled into a plugin. - Price: a fixed fee agreed up front, 50% to book. Available UK-wide (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland), fully remote. - Often the first step before a bespoke AI agent build. - Details: https://nickkuh.com/claude-setup ## The moat: why Nick - 20+ years shipping real products, for the likes of the BBC, Butternut Box, Surfers Against Sewage and Sworkit (40 million users). - Has led VC-funded startups (including Ember) and run and grown product agencies. - Real engineering judgement is the difference between AI that dazzles in a demo and AI you can trust: no spaghetti-code AI slop, no accidentally deleted databases. ## Flagship services - Build your own AI team: a bespoke team of autonomous AI agents on Claude, built with you and left in your hands to run and extend. You own it end to end. - Scout: a bespoke AI new-business agent. Scout works overnight, running your LinkedIn Sales Navigator searches, reading the signals that say a company is ready to talk, researching the decision makers, and handing over the ten people worth approaching today with a reason for each and a draft of what to say. Syncs with the tools you already use, such as Attio and Apollo. Nothing sends itself, you approve every message. Especially powerful for high-ticket sales. Full case study: https://scout.nickkuh.com - Marshall: a bespoke AI quoting agent. Marshall reads a defect report or tender, digs out how similar work was quoted before, prices it from the business's own catalogue at current costs, and stages a draft for the team to review. Nothing goes to a client on its own. Full story: https://nickkuh.com/blog/meet-marshall-ai-agent-drafts-your-quotes ## How it differs - Empowerment-first: you keep the agents, the skills and the understanding, with no per-seat subscription. - Claude-native: built on Claude Cowork and Claude Code, the same tools Nick uses daily. - Grounded in 20+ years of real product delivery, not theory. ## About Nick - AI builder, consultant and lead product engineer. - The last couple of years all-in on AI, including getting a company's non-technical leadership team using it every day to automate real work. - Based in Brighton & Hove. Works in person across East and West Sussex (Lewes, Worthing, Shoreham, Eastbourne, Haywards Heath, Horsham, Crawley, Chichester) and London, and remotely with clients anywhere in the UK. - Runs a free 45-minute in-office lunch and learn for teams, "How to Run your Business with AI". ## Case study: Scout at Waddyado - Claudia Gasson is a career psychologist and co-founder and CEO of Waddyado, a Brighton startup doing psychology-led outplacement, looking after a company's people when it is making redundancies. Her buyers are HR directors, and a new client is worth around £10k to her. - Nick built Scout for her. Scout clocks on at 5am, works through her Sales Navigator searches, and by the time Claudia is at her desk has the ten people worth approaching today, why each one, and a draft of what to say. Claudia chooses who to reach out to and sends it herself. - Read it in full at https://scout.nickkuh.com ## Key pages - Home: https://nickkuh.com/ - AI consultant: https://nickkuh.com/ai-consultant - Hands-on Claude setup (ChatGPT to Claude): https://nickkuh.com/claude-setup - AI quoting agent for trades and field service businesses (Marshall case study): https://nickkuh.com/ai-quoting-agent - Claude consultant in Brighton and Sussex: https://nickkuh.com/claude-consultant-brighton - Free lunch and learn, How to Run your Business with AI: https://nickkuh.com/run-your-business-with-ai - Scout, the AI new-business agent: https://scout.nickkuh.com - Marshall, the AI quoting agent: https://nickkuh.com/blog/meet-marshall-ai-agent-drafts-your-quotes - Blog: https://nickkuh.com/blog - Book a 20-min intro chat: https://nickkuh.com/intro - How to Run your Business with AI, a free 45-minute lunch & learn, in your office: https://nickkuh.com/run-your-business-with-ai - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickkuh
