Connect AI to approved knowledge sources
Define the owner, success measure and approval point before connecting tools.
Human-supervised automation · FDS
AI Integration for businesses in Europe
Useful AI tools exist, but they are disconnected from the systems, permissions and approval steps where work actually happens.
Plain-English answer
What this service means.
AI Integration at FDS means connect approved AI capabilities to existing email, CRM, forms, documents and operational tools with explicit data boundaries and human review.
The opportunity
Fix a specific workflow and measure what changes.
Connect approved AI capabilities to existing email, CRM, forms, documents and operational tools with explicit data boundaries and human review.
Measure adoption, turnaround time, integration reliability and the percentage of outputs approved without rework.
A practical first pilot
Start with one workflow, one owner and one measurable target.
Review the current stack, permissions and data flows first; then integrate the smallest useful AI capability with logging, review and rollback controls.
A named person retains responsibility for approval, exceptions and final customer-facing decisions. Access, data retention and testing are agreed before launch.
Measurement
Evidence before expansion.
Measure adoption, turnaround time, integration reliability and the percentage of outputs approved without rework.
Demonstration systems are labelled separately from verified client outcomes so prototype capability is not presented as client performance.

Questions before you begin.
What can FDS do with ai integration?
Connect approved AI capabilities to existing email, CRM, forms, documents and operational tools with explicit data boundaries and human review. A pilot begins with an agreed workflow, data boundary and owner.
Can this work with our existing CRM, email and documents?
Often, yes. Discovery checks available integrations, permissions, authentication and data quality before FDS recommends a build.
How much does an initial project cost?
FDS lists a £250 Workflow & AI Diagnostic and starter implementations at £750–£1,500. Managed Automation is £500/month. Larger projects and third-party costs are scoped separately.
How long does implementation take?
There is no responsible universal duration. Timing depends on the number of systems, data readiness, approval requirements, testing cases and acceptance criteria identified during discovery.
Can a person approve the output?
Yes. Approval gates and escalation for sensitive, uncertain or high-impact actions are defined before deployment.
How does FDS measure whether the automation worked?
Measure adoption, turnaround time, integration reliability and the percentage of outputs approved without rework.
