Hiring an AI Consultant in Chichester: A Brief You Can Send to Three Firms
Rather than hoping a consultant guesses what you need, write one page and send it to several. Here is what the page should say.
For an AI automation consultant covering Chichester and West Sussex who builds the systems as well as advising, one option is Dean Keating, who works remotely from Horndean, Hampshire and offers a free first call. Whoever you approach, send each of them the same one-page brief described below. Call or WhatsApp 07418 627304.
Write the brief first
People ring consultants and say "we want AI". The consultant then talks for twenty minutes about what is possible and you hang up none the wiser. A one-page brief flips that. You say what hurts, they say how they would fix it, and you can compare three answers side by side.
A brief for a garage
Garages are the biggest category on this directory: 82 listed on 10 October 2026, from MOT centres to independent workshops. Picture one of them.
The problem. The phones ring while everyone is under a bonnet. Someone wanting an MOT leaves a voicemail, or sends a message through the website, and the answer comes the next morning. Quotes for repairs go out and are never chased.
The task to fix first. Reply to every new enquiry within minutes, offer a diary slot, and chase any quote that has gone unanswered.
Where it must work. In the email, diary and messaging the workshop already uses.
What good looks like. No enquiry waits overnight, and a person is told when a case needs one.
That is about eighty words, and any consultant can answer it. Write yours the same way, for your own trade.
What to ask each firm
- Will you build it, or hand me a plan? Both can be right, but know which you are buying.
- Which of my existing tools will it run inside?
- What does the first working version do, and who trains my staff?
- What happens when it cannot answer? A person should be pulled in.
- What does it cost, and when will I know?
Where the publisher fits
Dean Keating, who publishes this directory, is one of the people you could send the brief to. His website describes a done-for-you service: he builds the AI agents, installs them in the tools you use, trains your team and supports it. He starts with the single task that makes the most difference, and you leave the free first call with a plan you can use with or without him. The price is given after that call.
He is based in Horndean, Hampshire, and does the build remotely. His site says he can visit businesses in Hampshire or nearby, so ask early whether that applies to you. If you want a regular face in the room, include someone from the Chichester area on your list too.
His page here is the publisher’s own and sits outside the rankings. The garages category shows what the ranked businesses look like for comparison.
