AI consultant for Bath businesses
AlphaOps builds AI automations for businesses in Bath and the surrounding area. We're based in Cardiff, about an hour and a quarter away along the M4. Most work is done remotely, and we come to you when a job needs it.
Small team, big admin load
Many of Bath's businesses are small, owner-run practices where a few people do everything, including the admin.
That's where automation pays back fastest. When one person spends a day a week re-typing, chasing and filing, giving that day back is a real difference to a small firm.
It's also why we built Monthly AI Support: four hours of AI automation work every month for £459 + VAT. You get a team that knows your business, without hiring anyone or taking on a big project.
IT security people, building AI
AlphaOps is the AI-automation arm of Alphabyte IT, a Cardiff Microsoft Partner certified to Cyber Essentials. Our founder, Ross Owen, has looked after the IT of law firms, accountants and other professional practices since 2000.
- We tell you where your data goes before we build anything

- We monitor and maintain what we build
- You keep your current IT provider
The paperwork behind Bath's businesses
Bath is a World Heritage city, so a lot of its building, property and design work comes with heavy planning and conservation paperwork. Its professional practices, visitor businesses and growing tech firms all run on email and documents too.
Architects, surveyors & construction consultants
Meeting minutes, site reports and the document trail that heritage and listed-building projects create.
Solicitors
Client intake, ID chasing, attendance notes and key dates pulled out of leases and contracts.
Accountants & bookkeepers
Collecting and keying client records, especially with Making Tax Digital's quarterly updates.
Hospitality & visitor businesses
Booking and enquiry emails sorted and answered in draft, and supplier invoices read and logged.
Small manufacturers & makers
Orders from email into your system and quotes drafted from your price list.
Any small office
The shared inbox, the approvals, the chasing. Whatever eats your week.
Questions from Bath businesses
You're in Cardiff. Can you really help a Bath business?
Yes. The work happens inside your systems, so the audit, the build and the support are almost all done remotely. When it helps to be in the room, we're about an hour and a quarter away and just charge travel expenses.
Is AI automation worth it for a small business?
Often more than for a large one. Small teams feel every lost hour. The free audit tells you which automations would pay for themselves, and if none would, we'll say so.
What does it cost?
The audit is free. Monthly AI Support is £459 + VAT a month with four hours included on a 12-month minimum term, extra hours are £145 + VAT, and one-off builds are quoted before any work starts.
Do we have to change IT provider?
No. AlphaOps works alongside whoever looks after your IT now.
