Ask our front desk

Every enquiry answered, every lead to you

You didn't start a business to miss enquiries

Enquiries missed while you're working

An AI front-desk assistant, trained on your own services, that answers in your voice and captures every lead — including the 8pm ones. Bespoke and built around your business, so it knows the job, not just a script.

The same questions, all day

Do you cover my area? How soon can you come? What does it cost? Answered instantly from your own information, and anything it can't answer comes back to you once — then it knows.

Assistants that go out of date

Most chatbots are loaded once and left. Every answer here carries a review date — you get a text when prices or lead times are due a check, and stale answers stop being used.

Paperwork too? Built to order

Quoting tools, certificate apps and admin automation are built around how you already work, and quoted before anything starts.

Also on the menu — waking up dormant customers, chasing reviews and reputation, lead scoring. Built around your business when you need them; just ask.

Not a trade? If admin's eating your week, the same applies — cafés, clinics, holiday lets, agencies.

Built the right way

Security isn't an extra. It's the standard.

Every build ships with security by design, UK GDPR compliance, live fault monitoring, and proper access controls — the engineering standard big firms demand, applied to tools for Cornish businesses. No quick fixes, no shortcuts.

  • Live error monitoring on the tools I build for you — faults found before you feel them
  • UK GDPR-compliant handling of your customers' data
  • Secure access, validation and rate-limiting as standard

Building your own?

Good. Let's make sure it doesn't leak.

AI makes it easier than ever to build your own tools — and easier than ever to leave the door open on customer data. More Cornish businesses will build their own; the smart ones will build safely.

I advise on doing it right: security reviews of what you've built, straight answers on GDPR and the incoming AI rules, and honest guidance on when DIY works — and when it'll cost you more than it saves.

Playground safety

Cornwall Play Safety

An RPII-accredited inspection firm working with parish councils, holiday parks and schools across Cornwall. Their Foredesk assistant, Piran, answers questions on inspection tiers and turnaround, and passes anything site-specific to the inspector.

Their website, their assistant and the voice-driven inspection app their inspector uses on site — all three built here.

Meet Piran

Cornwall Play Safety run a Foredesk assistant called Piran on their site. It answers questions about playground inspections in seconds, and takes a number for a callback when a question needs the inspector rather than the assistant.

Go and ask it something awkward. That's the honest test.

Straight answers

What does Kernow.ai actually do?
Lead generation and AI assistants for Cornwall businesses. The core is Foredesk, an AI front desk that answers your website, WhatsApp and missed calls from your own information and texts you every enquiry, so no job slips. When you need more, bespoke tools are built to order. Built here in Cornwall, to a professional security standard.
What does "built the right way" mean?
Security by design, UK GDPR compliance, live error monitoring on the tools I build, proper access controls and validation. The same engineering standard a big firm would demand — applied to tools for Cornish businesses.
Can you help if I want to build my own AI tools?
Yes. AI-assisted building is getting easier, and more owners are doing it themselves. I offer straight-talking advice and security reviews so what you build doesn’t leak customer data or fall over — and I’ll tell you honestly when DIY is the right call.
How much does it cost?
The AI front desk is £499 to set up, then £99 a month — no tiers, no per-lead fees, no VAT on top. Bespoke tools are quoted per job before any work starts. No meter running, no surprise invoices.
Are you actually in Cornwall?
Yes — I live and work here, with 40 years in the trades and construction before moving into software. Meet me, ring me. No ticket queue up-country.

Want more of the right work coming in?

Tell me where enquiries are slipping — or the bit of your week you'd pay to get rid of. I'll tell you straight whether I can fix it, and what it'd cost.
