We listen first
We work closely with you to map your workflows and decide, function by function, where AI belongs and where it does not.
AI integration and advisory, London
Forthen helps small, white-collar firms put AI to work where it genuinely helps. We map your business into its workflows, identify the functions worth automating, and build the tools around how you already operate. Nothing is automated without your say.
The idea
Product. Hiring. Marketing. Client communications. Internal communications. Each of these is a workflow, and each workflow breaks down into the smaller functions that make it run. Some of those functions are a natural fit for AI. Many are not, and should stay exactly as they are. Our work is telling the difference, and then doing something about it.
The broad areas of your firm, from how you win clients to how your team talks to each other.
The concrete, repeatable jobs inside each workflow. Drafting, summarising, researching, reviewing, scheduling.
Only the functions you choose. We build the tool, you keep control of where AI does and does not touch your business.
What we do
We are not a software product you log into and figure out alone. We sit with you, learn how your firm works, and build AI into the functions you want help with. Then we teach your people to use it and extend it themselves.
We work closely with you to map your workflows and decide, function by function, where AI belongs and where it does not.
We implement the right AI tools into the exact functions you have chosen, configured for your firm rather than off the shelf.
We train your management and staff on how the tools work and how to apply them, so the capability stays inside your firm.
Tools we specialise in
We work fluently across the leading AI platforms and the techniques that get the most out of them. We pick what fits the function, not what is fashionable.
