The return

Every workflow targets
one of three outcomes.

We don’t build automations for the sake of it. Every CoBuild engagement starts with one question: what’s the return?

📈 Generate revenue

More leads.
Faster conversions.

Find more leads, qualify them faster, and follow up automatically. Keep your pipeline moving even when your team is at capacity.

Example workflow
New enquiry → Claude researches the company, scores the lead, populates CRM, alerts via Slack. 45 seconds. Zero manual work.
⏱ Save time

Hours back.
Every single week.

Email triage, report generation, meeting notes and data entry can all be automated. Your team gets time back for higher-value work.

Example workflow
Meeting transcript → Claude extracts actions, decisions, next steps → auto-filed to your project tool. Done before your team moves on.
💸 Reduce costs

Less waste.
Fewer errors.

Manual processes are expensive — in labour, in errors, and in software that no longer fits. CoBuild identifies where automation will pay back fastest.

Example workflow
PDF invoices → Claude extracts and structures data → pushed to Xero. No data entry. No errors. No delays.
The process

From problem to working
automation — in weeks.

CoBuild isn’t consultancy. We don’t write reports and hand them to you. We sit alongside your team and build.

1

Foundation

We secure your AI environment — Claude integrated, N8N on your Azure, data governance in place. Done once. Yours to keep.

2

Identify

We map your highest-value opportunities — the workflows where automation delivers the clearest return.

3

Build

We build alongside your team. You see every decision. By the end, you own it — not us.

4

Run

Workflows run automatically. We support the first weeks, then you’re self-sufficient — or extend with a retainer.

How you engage

Three ways to work
with CoBuild.

Every engagement starts with Foundation — we secure your AI environment. After that, you choose how involved you want to be.

You Build

Foundation is set up. You build independently using the environment CMS configured.

Best for: teams with a capable internal champion who wants to own the skills.

CoBuild

CMS and your nominated champion build together in regular sessions. Knowledge transfers in real time.

Best for: clients who want capability to keep building after CMS leaves.

CMS Build

CMS scopes, designs, builds and delivers. You provide process knowledge and review at key stages.

Best for: clients who want results fast without internal involvement.

In every case, you own everything we build. No lock-in. No dependency on CMS to keep it running. What we build is fully documented, portable, and yours to extend.

Real builds

What businesses are
building right now.

Real workflows we’ve built — or are building now. Each one is designed to deliver a clear return: more revenue, time saved, or lower costs.
