An AI Workforce for a Chichester Garage: Which Desk Job Each Agent Takes
The phrase sounds grand. It means a set of AI agents, each given one of the desk jobs in your business. Here is how that looks in a garage.
An AI workforce, in Dean Keating's words, is a set of AI agents that each take one desk job in your business, installed for you in the tools you already use. For a business in West Sussex he builds it remotely from Horndean, Hampshire. It does not replace your staff. The first call is free: 07418 627304.
His phrase, explained
The headline on his website at ai-agent.deankeating.com reads "I'll build you an AI workforce ... installed for you, not handed over". It is a marketing phrase, so here is the plain meaning. Instead of one clever tool, you get several AI agents. Each has one job and works in your own email, diary and messages.
A garage, desk by desk
The directory lists 82 garages and MOT centres (counted on 10 October 2026). Picture one. Behind the workshop sits a small desk where the owner or a colleague does all the paperwork. Split that desk into jobs from his website's list:
- First reply. Answering new enquiries within minutes, day or night.
- Quotes. Sending them, and chasing the ones nobody answered.
- Diary. Booking jobs in, then sending confirmations and reminders.
- Sorting. Routing messages so the right person sees each one.
- Money. Raising invoices and chasing late payments.
- Report. The weekly summary.
Each line could be one agent. That is the workforce: a division of the desk, not a robot in a boiler suit.
What stays human
Everything in the workshop. Also the judgement calls: whether a job is safe to quote by message, what to say to an angry customer, when to make an exception. An agent hands those to a person, with what it has gathered so far.
It does not replace staff. The point is the repetitive jobs.
How it gets installed
He does not hand over a box of tools. He builds the agents, installs them on your systems, trains your team and supports it. The steps are a free call, an audit of the work worth automating, the build and install, then training and support. He starts with the single task that makes the most difference, so a garage might begin with only the first reply and add the rest later.
See the garages and MOT category for the trade as the directory lists it, and our guide to admin automation for the paperwork side in more detail.
Distance and disclosure
He is in Horndean, Hampshire, and works with West Sussex businesses remotely. His website says he can visit businesses in Hampshire or nearby. It is not a course, not phone answering and not a chatbot product. The cost is given after the free call. He publishes this directory, so look at other providers as well.
