Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Quote and schedule faster sits in your account too - we don't operate it from ours.
Can it remind us about the annual return?
Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.
Can it help with health and safety records?
It can keep them organised. A business must notify WorkSafe of notifiable events and keep those records for at least five years.
