AI systems built around the work your team already does.

ProAI turns everyday bottlenecks into useful AI products: WhatsApp assistants, pricing and quoting tools, internal knowledge portals, proposal automation, invoice extraction, and admin workflows that plug into the stack you already run.

Built on the AI and business infrastructure your team already trusts

What we build

Four practical AI capabilities, built to fit your operations.

We focus on the repetitive, document-heavy, response-heavy work that slows growing SMEs down, then ship systems people can trust and use without hiring an internal AI team.

01

Custom AI apps & portals

Pricing calculators, quoting wizards, customer portals, internal dashboards, and decision tools designed around your products, rules, and brand.

  • Branded UI, mobile-ready
  • Integrated with your existing stack
  • Analytics & admin included
02

Conversational AI

WhatsApp assistants, voice receptionists, and site chatbots that answer questions, book meetings, capture leads, quote, and hand off with context.

  • WhatsApp Business API
  • Voice & web widgets
  • Full conversation history
03

Workflow automation

Behind-the-scenes automation for admin, sales enablement, reporting, and document-heavy work, running inside the tools your team already uses.

  • Zapier & Make pipelines
  • Custom automations
  • Xero, Sage, Zoho, HubSpot
04

Advisory & enablement

Readiness scans, workflow maps, prompt libraries, and hands-on training so your team understands the system and keeps improving it.

  • Opportunity scan
  • Prompt playbook
  • Team workshops

How ProAI works

From workflow scan to working pilot, without the theatre.

Every engagement has a fixed scope, visible progress, and a handover plan so the result becomes part of daily operations.

01
Week 1

Map

We interview the people doing the work, map the current process, and rank opportunities by effort, risk, and likely time saved.

02
Week 2

Shape

We define the model approach, interfaces, integrations, approvals, and success metrics before build starts.

03
Weeks 3–6

Ship

We build with real data paths, test with users, and review working software at the end of each sprint.

04
Ongoing

Operate

We document the system, train your team, hand over admin controls, and stay available for iteration once it is live.

Solutions we ship

AI tools for the moments where work gets stuck.

The implementations we deliver most often for South African SMEs: branded, integrated with your existing systems, and designed for everyday operators rather than AI specialists.

Pricing & quoting wizards

Branded calculators that ask the right questions, apply your pricing logic, and produce an accurate quote or PDF proposal in seconds — embedded on your site or sent as a private link.

Instant quotePDF proposalCRM sync

AI voice receptionist

An always-available phone assistant that answers common questions, screens callers, books appointments, and forwards genuine leads with a transcript waiting in your inbox.

After-hours coverAppointment bookingCall transcripts

Document & proposal automation

Turn briefs, intake forms, and CRM records into polished proposals, contracts, SOWs, and reports without rebuilding the same document every week.

Branded templatesAuto-fillOne-click PDF

Internal knowledge assistant

A private chatbot trained on your SOPs, policies, and product information so staff get accurate, source-cited answers in seconds instead of hunting through drives.

Staff Q&AOnboardingCited answers

Lead qualification & nurture

Score new leads automatically, draft a personalised first reply, and book the warm ones into your calendar before they go cold — with the rest dropped into a tidy follow-up sequence.

Invoice & document extraction

Pull line items, totals, VAT, and supplier details from invoices, receipts, and purchase orders straight into Xero, QuickBooks, or a clean spreadsheet — with approvals routed to the right person.

By the numbers

Measure the workflow, not the hype.

0 days

Typical time from signed Starter Sprint brief to first working pilot.

0%

Target time saved on high-volume admin, quoting, response, and document workflows.

0%

Pilots are scoped around a real operational handover, not just a demo environment.

100%

POPIA-aligned engagements with written data-processing agreements before any build.

How we engage

Start with one workflow, or build a wider AI operating layer.

Every engagement is fixed-scope, written before we start, and structured so your team owns the outcome.

Starter Sprint

2–3 weeks

Best for proving value in one specific workflow: quoting, lead response, document generation, reporting, or internal Q&A.

  • One focused workflow or tool
  • Design, build, and deploy
  • Integration with 1–2 existing systems
  • Documentation and admin handover
  • 30 days of post-launch support
Scope a sprint

Embedded Partner

Ongoing

A fractional AI product team for organisations that want continuous improvement without hiring developers, automation specialists, and AI engineers in-house.

  • Monthly capacity for new tools & improvements
  • Ongoing monitoring & optimisation
  • Quarterly strategy sessions
  • Priority response on issues
  • Continuous team upskilling

Responsible adoption

Useful AI needs boundaries, owners, and measurements.

ProAI defines where AI is appropriate, how sensitive information is handled, when human review is required, and how outputs stay useful, secure, and aligned with company standards. Every engagement is POPIA-aligned with data-processing agreements in place before build begins.

POPIA-aligned DPAs signed before build. SA / EU hosting where required. Your data never trains third-party models.
Data boundaries Clear rules for confidential, personal, and client information — documented and enforced in the tool itself.
Human review Approval points for high-impact, external, or regulated work — the AI drafts, a person signs off.
Repeatability Reusable workflows instead of one-person experiments that vanish when the champion leaves.
Measurement Time saved, quality improved, and risks reduced — instrumented into every deployment from day one.

Questions we hear a lot

Straight answers before you send an enquiry.

Do we need to replace our existing tools?

No. Almost every project we deliver runs alongside Xero, Sage, Zoho, HubSpot, Microsoft 365, or Google Workspace. We plug into what your team already uses instead of asking them to switch.

How much does this cost?

We quote fixed pricing per engagement based on scope. A Starter Sprint that ships one focused tool is the smallest commitment; a Growth Programme or Embedded Partnership scales from there. Every quote is written up before any work begins — no time-and-materials surprises.

How is our company data protected?

All engagements are POPIA-aligned. We sign data-processing agreements before build, host in South African or EU regions where required, and never train third-party models on your data. Prompts and outputs stay inside your own accounts and systems, not ours.

What happens if the AI gets it wrong?

Every tool ships with guardrails — human review points on high-impact actions, confidence checks on outputs, and clear fallbacks when the AI is unsure. Each deployment includes a monitoring dashboard so you can see what's happening and step in if you need to.

Do we need to hire developers to run this?

No. The tools are designed to be operated by your existing team through simple admin interfaces. You get documentation, training, and support. If the business scales beyond that, we can stay on as an Embedded Partner — a fractional AI team without the full-time headcount.

Can this integrate with WhatsApp, Xero, Sage, Zoho, or [our tool]?

Almost certainly yes — we've integrated with all of the above and many more. If your system has an API or a Zapier / Make connector, we can plug into it. Send the tool name and we'll confirm in writing before the sprint.

How long until we see results?

First working pilots typically ship in 2–3 weeks. Time-saved improvements are usually measurable in the first month of production use. Larger portfolios (Growth Programme) show cumulative benefit across 3–6 months.

What if we're not sure what to automate first?

That's the entire purpose of a discovery call. We walk through your workflows, spot the two or three that would gain the most from AI, and give you a ranked list — with time-saved estimates — before you commit to any build work.

Start with a conversation

Bring one messy workflow. We’ll find the useful build.

Send a short note about the work that slows your team down: missed WhatsApps, slow quotes, repeated proposals, spreadsheet admin, knowledge stuck in documents. We reply within one business day.

  • Reply within one business day
  • 30-minute discovery call
  • Written proposal within a week
