First, what he is not

Dean Keating does not run an AI agency. He is an AI automation consultant, and he is also the person who publishes this directory. We would rather say that plainly than let a search for "AI agency" land you on a page that quietly pretends otherwise.

What people usually mean by an AI agency

Most owners using that phrase want someone else to deal with the technical side. An agency normally takes a brief, scopes a project, builds it and hands it back. That suits larger jobs: several departments, several sites, or a launch with a fixed date and a lot of moving parts.

What he does instead

His service is done for you, and his website describes it as installed for you, not handed over. He builds AI agents, installs them in the tools the business already uses, trains your staff and supports it afterwards. It begins with one task, the one that makes the most difference, rather than a programme.

Picture a café-bar open from breakfast until the evening. During the day the till and the coffee machine come first. Messages about a group booking, a birthday table or whether dogs are welcome sit unanswered until closing. An agent can reply to those straight away, from answers the owner has approved, and pass anything unusual to a person with the details already gathered.

When an agency is the better choice

- You need a large project covering many sites or departments at once.
- You want a supplier with several specialists you can call on for different things.
- Your procurement rules ask for a company with formal contracts and a formal pitch.

If that is you, say so on every first call and ask what you would actually have at the end.

When a consultant fits better

- You have one clear, repeated task that eats time: replies, follow-ups, quotes, reminders.
- You want to deal with the person who builds it.
- You want it running in the email, diary and messaging you already have, not in a new system.
