Practical help from finding the right use case to building, testing and training. You work directly with Michael, a Belfast-based product developer.
Practical AI delivery in Belfast.
Flow Local is a Belfast-based applied-AI and systems implementation business run by Michael McGlade. We help established businesses and organisations in Northern Ireland and beyond find useful AI applications, build them directly into existing tools, and train the team. If ordinary automation solves the problem reliably, we use that rather than adding AI for its own sake.
How we help businesses implement AI.
Clear answers on how projects run, what they cost, and how existing systems and sensitive data are handled.
Useful project areas
Typical projects include extracting data from documents, drafting customer replies for team review, searching approved internal knowledge, routing enquiries, and preparing recurring reports. Every build is tailored around your specific tools, data, and workflows.
How a project runs
We start with a systems review to examine one problem, the tools you use, and the team involved. Once the work is clear, you receive a fixed scope and fixed price. We build and test the system, train your team, and compare performance against a starting baseline.
Working with existing software
Often, yes. We check available integrations, access, and data requirements before quoting. Suitable CRMs, booking systems, and business platforms stay in place. Some systems require custom connections; some will not support sensible integration.
Private data & human oversight
We identify required data, access permissions, and processing locations before building. Test cases and human-review points are built in. AI assists the team—it does not replace professional judgment, and sensitive decisions remain with your people.
Transparent pricing
Phase 1 focused builds start from £2,000. Full systems with broader CRM pipelines are £3,000–£6,000, with ongoing care from £300/month. Upfront fixed prices, zero markup on software. Technical Feasibility Blueprints (£950) are credited 100% against implementation.
Websites & local growth
Yes. Local growth is a separate Flow Local offer covering websites, advertising, reviews, and enquiry follow-up for local service businesses. The same build, test, and handover approach applies.
