Trusted by ambitious teams to automate, build & scale with AI.
What we doAn AI agency in London for automation, agents & AI-native software
&above is an AI agency based in Southwark, London. We work as an AI automation agency, an AI agent development company, and an AI software development company - three capabilities, one embedded team, no handoffs between them.
Most AI agencies specialise in one of these: automating a workflow, shipping a chatbot, or building software. We do all three because the best AI work usually needs all three - an automation only pays off if it's built on software that can hold it, and an agent is only useful once it's connected to real tools and data.
As an AI automation agency, we find the repetitive, manual work slowing your team down and remove it - from creative approvals to data entry to customer operations. As an AI agent development company, we build agentic systems that connect your tools, data and workflows so agents can act, not just answer questions. And as an AI software development company, we ship the production-grade platforms and applications that automation and agents run on. Explore our full AI consultancy & product development services.
We work with scale-ups and global enterprises alike - small senior squads, startup pace, enterprise-grade delivery. Building a new product from scratch rather than automating or connecting an existing one? See our digital product agency services.
Automation, agents & AI software
What an AI agency delivers, end to end - automation that removes work, agents that connect systems, and the software that holds it all together.
Automation
Remove the repetitive work.
We map the manual, repetitive processes costing your team the most time and automate them with AI - from content and creative approvals to data entry and back-office operations.
We built an AI-native creative studio that took Tesco's retail ads from four-week approvals to days.
AI software development
Production-grade, from day one.
Web and mobile applications, internal platforms, and enterprise software built AI-native from the start - engineered by embedded squads who ship working software from the first sprint.
We shipped a property-selling app with instant AI-powered valuations for Upstix - in 7 days.
Our work
AI automation, agent systems and AI-native software for Google, Tesco, Upstix, and other ambitious teams.
AI agency FAQs
Straight answers for teams evaluating an AI agency in London.
- What is an AI agency?
- An AI agency helps businesses adopt artificial intelligence - typically some mix of automating existing processes, building custom AI agents, and developing AI-native software. &above covers all three under one embedded team: AI automation, agent development, and AI software development.
- What is the difference between an AI agency and an AI consultancy?
- An AI consultancy typically advises on strategy and stops at recommendations. An AI agency builds - it ships the automation, agents, or software it recommends. &above does both: AI Launchpad workshops and proofs of concept for strategy, then embedded squads that build and ship.
- What does an AI automation agency actually automate?
- The repetitive, rules-based work slowing teams down - content and creative approvals, data entry, reporting, customer operations, and similar workflows. We map the highest-value processes first, then automate with AI rather than rigid scripts, so the automation adapts as the work changes.
- How is &above different from other AI development agencies?
- Most AI development agencies specialise in one layer - automation, agents, or software. We combine all three in one embedded squad, backed by delivery experience spanning scale-ups and enterprises: Google, Tesco, Sage, Revolut, and Upstix. Small senior teams, startup pace, production quality.
- Do you work with scale-ups as well as enterprises?
- Yes. We work with ambitious scale-ups and global enterprises - from Upstix and Revolut to Google and Tesco. The engagement model adapts to your stage: discovery sprints and proofs of concept for early bets, embedded product squads for full automation, agent, or software builds.
- How much does it cost to work with an AI agency?
- It depends on scope and engagement model. We typically start with a fixed-scope AI Launchpad workshop or proof of concept to validate value before a larger build, then move to an embedded squad for delivery. Get in touch for a scoped estimate.
- How do I choose an AI development agency?
- Look for shipped evidence, not slide decks - ask what they've automated or built, who will actually work on your project, and how fast they get something real in front of users. Then start small: a Launchpad workshop or proof of concept reveals more than any pitch.
- Where is your AI agency based?
- Our HQ is in Southwark, London - The Binary, 27 Copperfield Street, SE1 0EN. We work with clients across the UK and internationally, from scale-ups to global enterprises.
