Losing business to missed calls?
When you're installing a boiler in Cosham or advising a client in Gunwharf, incoming calls go unanswered. Those enquiries head straight to your competitors who picked up the phone.
Serving Portsmouth's vibrant business community from Gunwharf to Southsea. AI-powered phone systems that never miss a customer, intelligent chatbots that work while you sleep, and smart automation that frees your team to focus on what matters most.
Sound Familiar?
Whether you're a tradesperson working across Portsea Island, a professional practice in Southsea, or running a busy hospitality business near the waterfront — these challenges drain your revenue and steal your time.
When you're installing a boiler in Cosham or advising a client in Gunwharf, incoming calls go unanswered. Those enquiries head straight to your competitors who picked up the phone.
Booking confirmations, quote follow-ups, payment reminders — repetitive tasks that steal hours from your week. Time you could spend serving customers or winning new contracts.
A full-time receptionist costs £25k+ per year. Emergency calls at midnight, weekend enquiries, bank holiday bookings — your Portsmouth customers expect availability your budget can't match.

Meet the Founder
Antek Automation was founded by Andy Norman — 30+ years in field service and managed print, now a Certified Retell AI Partner building AI voice agents and automation for local businesses. Based in Andover, Hampshire.
As a Portsmouth agentic AI provider we build AI agents that don't just answer questions — they take actions. Book appointments, route calls, sync calendars, update CRMs, fire follow-up sequences, escalate when needed. The difference between a chatbot and an agentic system is the difference between a script and a colleague.
An agentic AI system perceives, decides, and acts. It doesn't wait for a human to tell it the next step. Our Portsmouth agentic AI agents handle the entire customer-facing layer of your business — from first call through booking, follow-up, and CRM sync.
From naval supply-chain SMEs near the dockyard to professional firms in Old Portsmouth and trades across Portsea Island, agentic AI handles the volume of routine work that drowns the team. The agent runs 24/7, never forgets, and scales with you.
We are agentic AI consultants for Portsmouth businesses — not platform sales, not generic SaaS. We scope your workflows, design the agent's decision tree, integrate it with your real systems (calendars, CRM, n8n, Make, your own database), and stay on hand for the ongoing tweaks that make AI agents actually work in production.
Multi-step agents with tool use, persistent memory, conditional branching, calendar integration, CRM integration, voice and chat parity, plus warm fallback to human handoff. Built on Retell (voice) and our own n8n + custom-LLM stack (chat and workflow). Antek Automation is a Certified Retell AI Partner — Portsmouth gets the same engineering as our enterprise clients.
Portsmouth AIaaS the way the dockyard buys infrastructure — a single per-month invoice that covers the build, the run, and the upkeep. One accountable supplier. No in-house ML hires. Same support model whether you sit in Gunwharf, Southsea, Old Portsmouth or the trading estates north of the M27.
Provisioning, hosting on UK infrastructure, weekly health checks, prompt + tool tweaks, voice quality tuning, integration patches when your CRM or calendar API moves, and a monthly written report. Charged per agent, not per token — so your finance team gets a predictable line item, not a usage gamble.
Half-day scoping session at your office or over Teams. Voice-agent or chatbot pilot live within 7–10 working days on the £497 setup + £97/month tier. Bespoke scope for naval-supply-chain compliance, NHS-adjacent care providers, University of Portsmouth spin-outs, or multi-site Portsea Island trades — same monthly billing, larger numbers.
An in-house AI lead in Portsmouth costs a £65–90k base, 9–14 weeks notice, dedicated AWS/Azure bill, plus you carry the recruitment risk. AIaaS lands you a working agent inside a fortnight at £497 setup + £97/month, hands you one supplier to call when something needs tuning, and lets you scale up or down each quarter without an HR conversation. Same maths the dockyard SME base already applies to managed IT — applied to AI.
Five things matter when you pick a Portsmouth AIaaS partner: (1) the agent must integrate with your real systems (Gunwharf retail tills, dockyard supplier portals, NHS-adjacent EMRs) not just embed a chat box; (2) you should be charged per result or per seat, never per token; (3) the provider — not you — owns the ongoing prompt and tool tuning; (4) every edge case must hand off warm to a human in your team; (5) the provider should already understand Portsmouth's mix of naval supply chain, NHS-adjacent care, university spin-outs and Portsea Island trades. We tick all five.
