Why Quigly AI

Four reasons businesses choose us

📈

Growth

AI & automation frees capacity that gets redirected to revenue-generating work - more clients served, faster delivery, more time for business development.

🏛

Stability

Documented processes, reduced errors, and less reliance on key people. Your business runs consistently whether you're in the office or not.

💰

Profitability

Direct cost reduction, faster job throughput, and better ROI on time. Every hour reclaimed is an hour redirected to higher-value work.

🔭

Future-readiness

Businesses investing in AI now won't just be more efficient - they'll be harder to compete with. We help you get ahead before the gap widens.

The Opportunity Window

The businesses investing
in AI now will be
harder to compete with.

Most Australian SMBs are still in the early stages of AI adoption. That gap between what's possible and what's actually being done represents a genuine competitive opportunity - but only for those who act while it's still wide open.

"In less than three years, businesses that have adopted AI will operate at a fundamentally different cost and service level than those that haven't. The AI Opportunity Assessment tells you where to start - before that gap becomes a problem."

What businesses say after working with us

★★★★★

"Thank you, Mark. Your AI Opportunity Assessment has given me a clear path to win more business and deliver it more efficiently. Honestly, what more could I ask for?"

Hana S.

Business Owner & Bookkeeper · Melbourne

★★★★★

"I came into Mark's AI Kickstart program knowing AI could help my business, but not knowing where to start. He breaks everything into clear, simple steps, so each week builds on the last. I now feel capable using AI in my business, not overwhelmed by it."

TS

Terry-Lyn S.

Executive & Leadership Coach · Melbourne

★★★★★

"I was very sceptical about what AI could do. Years ago, as head of tax at a professional body, I watched an AI research tool fail badly. Since Mark's assessment I've already implemented a couple of his suggested changes, and it's been a godsend."

Is your business AI-powered - or AI-curious?

Most Australian businesses use AI to answer questions and draft documents - and stop there. This guide's AI Workforce Maturity Model™ maps ten levels: where your business sits today, what the next level looks like, and how to get there without disrupting the business you already run.

In Their Own Words

What a real Assessment looks like

“

Engaging Mark from Quigly AI for an AI Opportunity Assessment was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my bookkeeping business this year.

The process was easy from start to finish. Mark took the time to understand Officiency properly - my systems, my workflows, my plans for growth - and the discovery session felt more like a useful conversation than an interview. He covered everything, including questions about where I want the business to go, not just where it is now.

What I valued most was how much I learned. I came away with a clearer picture of where my time actually goes, which existing tools I’m under-using, and where AI can realistically help versus where it can’t. Mark introduced me to tools I’d never heard of - including one that could significantly change how I win new business.

The report itself is well laid out, visual, and tailored - Mark used direct quotes from our conversation, so it felt personal, not generic. If you’re a business owner who’s curious about AI but unsure where to start, this is exactly the kind of grounded, practical advice you need.

Discover where AI will move the needle in your business. Financial impact, impact-effort matrix, adoption roadmap.

02

AI Adoption Program

Build the team capability. Two hands-on workshops wrapped in a 90-day adoption system with live dashboard.

03

AI Activation

Turn the highest-ROI opportunities into working systems. Process automation, workflow builds, knowledge systems.

What We Build

Four activation categories (examples)

⚙️

Process Automation

Fix the process before automating it. Many workflows take longer than necessary because of unnecessary steps. We redesign first, then automate - so you're not just automating a broken process faster.

🔗

Workflow Automation Builds

Connect your tools and automate the handoffs between them. Zapier, Make.com, n8n - simple two-step automations through to complex multi-system workflows. You define the trigger and the outcome; we build the bridge.

🧠

AI Knowledge Systems

Train an AI on your business - your documents, your tone, your processes, your FAQs. Deploy it to handle common questions, draft responses, and support staff so your expertise scales without you being present for every interaction.

⚡

Speed-to-Lead Agents

An AI agent that responds to new enquiries within seconds - 24/7, personalised, and trained on your business. Never lose a lead to a competitor who responded faster. Integrated with your CRM, website, and inbox.

How It Works

Our activation process

From scoping to delivery

1

Scope from your Assessment

Every activation is scoped directly from your AI Opportunity Assessment findings - we know your workflows, your pain points, and your priorities before we write a single line of code.

2

Fixed-price proposal

We provide a clear, fixed-price proposal for each activation - what will be built, what it will do, what it costs, and when it will be delivered.

3

Build and test

We build your solution, test it thoroughly with real-world scenarios from your business, and document how it works so you and your team can maintain and extend it.

4

Handover and support

You receive the completed build with full documentation, a walkthrough session, and 30 days of support to ensure it's working as expected and your team is confident using it.

Most activations follow an AI Opportunity Assessment. Haven't had yours yet?

Activation is step three - where the opportunities identified in your Assessment become working systems. Most activations are grounded in a completed Assessment, ensuring every build targets the highest confirmed ROI opportunities for your business.

Why this exists

Most AI training doesn’t stick.

Businesses invest in AI training and see an initial burst of enthusiasm. Then, slowly, the team drifts back to the old way of doing things. The new tools sit unused. The momentum evaporates.

The problem isn’t the technology. It’s the absence of structure, accountability, and reinforcement in the weeks that follow.

The AI Adoption Program wraps two hands-on training sessions in a 90-day support system built to turn curiosity into lasting capability - measured, visible, and embedded in how your team works.

A workshop teaches your team what AI can do.

Our program embeds AI in your business for the long term.

Two hands-on workshops

Foundation first. Then application.

Both sessions are delivered in the first week of the program. Every team member attends both. No one is left behind.

Most businesses have 3 to 5 untapped quick-win AI opportunities. The hard part isn’t the technology - it’s knowing where to start, what’s safe, and how to make it stick.

The AI Kickstart Program takes you from “I know I should be using AI” to using it confidently every day, with working workflows built inside your business by the end of the month. No theory. No hype. Every session is hands-on, using your real work.

How it works - five hours of one-on-one coaching across four weeks, tailored to your business from the very first session:

Week 1 - Foundations + Discovery (2 hours)

Get set up properly and safely, learn what AI is genuinely good at, and map your biggest opportunities together.

Week 2 - Everyday Quick Wins (1 hour)

Turn AI into a daily habit across emails, meeting notes, documents and client communications.

03

Week 3 - Deep Dive One (1 hour)

A full session on your highest-priority area, chosen from what Week 1 uncovers.

04

Week 4 - Deep Dive Two + Your AI Playbook (1 hour)

Build one high-value workflow end to end, and take away your personal AI Playbook.

What you’ll walk away with:

Your personal AI Playbook - every prompt template and workflow from the month, captured within each session and yours forever

At least one complete workflow live and working in your business

Before vs. After the Workshop

This is what shifts when you move from chatbot to agent. We don't just teach tools - we re-engineer your output.

⚡ Before

💬

Answering the same five customer questions 50 times a week

✓ After

An agent that handles the FAQ, quotes the job, and drafts the reply while you focus on the work

⚡ Before

📂

Pulling the same Monday morning report manually, every single week

✓ After

Your agent runs the report, formats it, and has it waiting before you sit down

⚡ Before

🎯

Your Xero, inbox, and CRM don't talk to each other - so you're the one connecting them

✓ After

An agent that reads across your tools and ties the data together for you

⚡ Before

🎙

ChatGPT gives generic answers that don't fit your business, your clients, or your voice

✓ After

An agent loaded with your documents, your tone, and your rules. One that actually sounds like you.
