dploy.ai

Built for businesses that can't afford to get AI wrong.

dploy.ai helps Irish businesses put AI to work properly. New services you could not offer before. A better experience for every client. Your team freed for the work that actually needs a person. All of it built to the standard a regulated firm needs, with GDPR and the EU AI Act designed in from the first day.

the load the old process was placing on the team, close to a full-time position

An Irish wealth advisory firm asked us to rethink client onboarding. We built a working system that enters client details once, drafts every provider instruction for a person to review, and shows the whole pipeline on one dashboard. That load is coming off the team as the system goes into daily use. More importantly, every new client now gets a start with the firm that the old process could never have delivered, and the firm can grow without adding headcount to cope.

The same firm has since commissioned a second build.

The opportunity

What could your team do with AI beside them?

AI has changed what a business your size can offer. Processes that had to be manual can be rebuilt entirely. Services that needed a team twice yours are now within reach. We have seen a five-day reporting cycle become same-day. We have seen a thirty-person firm offer what used to take sixty.

The pattern in all of it: AI does the drafting, the re-keying and the waiting, and your people do the judging, the advising and the relationships. That is the point. The same people, doing better work, for more clients.

Efficiency comes with this. Hours return wherever manual work disappears, and we count them. But the businesses getting the most from AI are using it to grow.

The question is not “where are we wasting time?” It is “what could we offer that we have never even considered?”

Who we are

We've sat in your chair.

Not a junior consultant with a slide deck.

dploy.ai is founder-led. Every assessment is run by a chartered accountant with twenty years in senior finance and operations roles in regulated businesses, and a background in corporate governance and data protection.

That means someone who has owned the budget, answered to the board and the auditors, and dealt with a process breaking at quarter end. Someone who knows what an audit trail has to show, and what a client expects when they hand over their data.

So we don't start with the technology. We start with the work your people do and ask whether each process should exist at all. Then we build what frees up their time, improves the client experience and lets you take on more, in a form you can stand over.

The standard we build to

Built for businesses that can't afford to get AI wrong.

GDPR-first
Data protection is designed in from the start, never bolted on afterwards.
Your data stays in the EU
Everything we recommend and build keeps data within EU borders.
A person stays in control
AI drafts and suggests. A human reviews and approves anything that matters.
Documented and auditable
If a regulator or a client asks how it works, the answer is written down.

This is also how we run dploy.ai itself. Our own regulatory monitor tracks more than ten EU regulations every quarter, and our own data moves through a tiered routing framework. We have also carried out formal EU AI Act risk classification on a live AI system, so we know what that analysis takes.

If you're regulated, this is the bar you need. If you're not, it's the bar you deserve.

What you get

AI Operations Assessment

From€2,500+ VATFixed price, agreed before we start · ten working days

A structured assessment that finds where AI genuinely pays across your business. What new services it opens. Where your clients' experience improves. Which processes to redesign, which to automate, and which to retire. And the honest call on each opportunity: what is worth building, and what is better bought. You get a ranked opportunity map and an implementation roadmap with costs and timelines, presented in a 60-minute walkthrough and a written report ready to share with your team or your board.

1
Pre-assessment survey
Captures your processes, tools, and pain points so the discovery session focuses on what matters.

Guided discovery session
A targeted conversation shaped by your responses, not a generic checklist.
3
Process and opportunity analysis
Which processes to redesign, which to automate, and which to retire. Plus where AI opens approaches that weren't possible before.
4
AI opportunity map
Ranked recommendations matched to your priorities.
5
Implementation roadmap
What to do first, what it costs, how long it takes.

Presentation and full report
A 60-minute walkthrough plus a written report to share with your team.
Our commitment

We take an assessment on only when we are confident the opportunities it finds will be worth many multiples of the fee. If we do not believe that after the first call, we will say so plainly, and the call costs nothing.

No obligation, no hard sell.

And we don't stop at the report.

The assessment gives you a roadmap you can act on with anyone. If you want, we then build the solutions on it ourselves, priced per outcome rather than per hour, and you own what we build for you under a perpetual licence. That includes the right to bring in anyone else to maintain or extend it. You are not locked in to us. Most consultancies hand over a deck. We deploy.

Your data stays in your environment. We review processes, we don't extract data. Every engagement is covered by a formal service agreement.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Irish businesses in any sector. The method starts from how your operations actually run, and the standard is the one a regulated firm needs: GDPR, the EU AI Act and a person in control of anything that matters. Our published work so far is in wealth advice. The approach is the same in any sector.

Because we would want to know too. The fee is fixed and agreed before we start, and there is no meter running. Consultancies that quote after four meetings are pricing the sale, not the work.

You get a prioritised roadmap of AI opportunities with estimated costs and timelines. Some businesses implement independently using the roadmap. Others ask us to build the solutions. There is no obligation either way.

We review your processes and workflows. We do not extract, store, or process your business data. Everything stays in your environment. Each engagement is covered by a formal service agreement.

We take an assessment on only when we are confident the opportunities it finds will be worth many multiples of the fee. That is what the free call is for. If we do not believe it after that conversation, we will say so plainly and not take the engagement.

One senior practitioner delivers every engagement end to end. No juniors, no handover to a delivery team, and the person on your first call is the person who does the work. That person is a chartered accountant (FCCA) with twenty years in senior finance and operations roles in regulated businesses, a London School of Economics AI Leadership Accelerator (Distinction) and a Diploma in Corporate Governance (Distinction).

Everything we build for you is yours under a perpetual licence, and it is documented as we go so that someone else can pick it up. Decisions, configuration and runbooks are written down as part of delivery. If you ever want another supplier to maintain or extend the work, you can appoint one at any point and they will have what they need to carry on.

In the EU. This site and the assessment both keep data inside EU borders, and we review your processes rather than extracting your data, so there is very little of it to hold in the first place. The full list of the services we use, and where each one runs, is on our security page.

How we handle security and data→

Against a large firm, the difference is a fixed price agreed before we start and senior delivery all the way through, rather than a meter running and a junior team on site. A freelancer may well come in cheaper, and what we add there is the governance and documentation a regulated buyer can put in front of a regulator. Doing it yourselves is genuinely possible, and we will say so when that is the right answer. What we bring is knowing which processes to redesign, which to automate, and which to retire altogether.

Only inside rules set in advance. We use a tiered routing framework: classify the data, classify the tool, and route only what the tier allows, with pseudonymisation where required. General-purpose chatbots sit at the most restricted tier. Most businesses that get this wrong never actually made a decision, and that is the real risk.

Every system we build is logged on a register with a named owner, a risk level, and human approval wherever the output matters. Alongside that, we build quarterly regulatory monitoring covering the EU rules that affect your business, including the EU AI Act. Compliance is maintained on a cycle rather than assumed.

Who this is for

Made for businesses like yours.

Irish businesses in any sector. If your systems don't talk to each other, if your people spend their days on work that doesn't need them, or if you know AI could open something new but you can't risk getting it wrong, this was designed for you. We build to the standard a regulated firm needs, so the governance is in place whether a regulator ever asks or not.

One more honest observation. The gap between businesses that deploy AI well and businesses that don't is already visible, and it compounds. Moving early is an advantage. Waiting is a decision too.
