Applied AI is the umbrella for a portfolio of products and services that turn frontier AI into practical tools for SMEs, manufacturers, and engineers.
See the venturesBuilt and operated from the East Midlands.
We don't believe AI is a strategy. We believe it's a set of leverages — and the right ones, applied to the right problems, change the economics of an industry.
Each venture under Applied AI is a focused bet: solving one specific, painful problem for one specific group of people, with AI (or, where it earns its keep, hardware engineering) doing the heavy lifting that makes the solution worthwhile.
From regulated SaaS to consumer apps, from consultancy to hardware kits — every venture tackles a defined problem for a defined audience.
Practical AI consultancy helping East Midlands SMEs find and implement AI that pays for itself — audits, implementation, and ongoing advisory.
Gets manufacturers compliant with the EU Cyber Resilience Act: applicability assessment, automated SBOM generation, vulnerability scoring, and ENISA Article 14 incident reporting.
UK grant funding platform that uses AI to match SMEs with relevant grants and accelerate the path from eligibility to bid-ready application.
Browser-based AI PCB design platform. Describe circuits in TypeScript/JSX, get AI-assisted autorouting, simulation, and Gerber/KiCad export — all without installing a thing.
Browser-based PCB test-jig designer that loads Gerbers, lets you place probe and pusher points on pads, and exports drill files, G-code, and proof PDFs ready for manufacturing.
AI gardening companion: garden mapping on satellite imagery, camera-based plant identification, personalised care guides, and seasonal task lists — all in one mobile app.

Replaces procurement spreadsheets with AI-driven supplier intelligence — compliance, certifications, performance scoring, and risk monitoring in one place. Gets your supply base audit-ready.
Affordable, modular PCB test-fixture kits engineers can buy, configure online, and have shipped in days — no custom tooling, no quote chase.
Specialist electronics and engineering services for companies building connected devices — IoT, embedded, low-power, and certified hardware.
Simple bulk-email tool for SMEs: drop in a CSV of recipients, schedule the send, watch deliveries roll in. AI-drafted subject lines and copy variations, none of the Mailchimp complexity.
Whether you're a customer, an investor, a partner, or someone who just wants to compare notes on AI — we'd love to hear from you.
