AI Consulting for Australian Small Business.
There are more than 10,000 AI tools on the market right now. Most of them aren't right for your business. HYPHN identifies the right tools and systems and builds it for you.
What is AI consulting, and do you actually need it?
AI consulting means working with a specialist to figure out where AI can help your business, then building and setting it up for you.
You know AI could help but don't know where to start
You've tried tools like ChatGPT but haven't got real results
You're spending too much time on admin, follow-ups, or reporting
You want to automate something but don't have an internal tech team to build it
What HYPHN does
Discovery
We spend 30 minutes understanding your business — which tools you use, where your team loses time, and what you want to be able to do that you can't right now.
Roadmap
We provide clear recommendations on the best AI systems and/or platforms to use, what they’ll cost, time to implement and how they could fit into your operations.
Build & Test
We build and test the automations against your live systems. Most projects are delivered 4 - 6 weeks depending on the complexity and scope.
Deploy
We walk your team through everything, make sure it's running as expected, and stay available for ongoing support and additions.
Who we work with
We work with Australian small businesses across industries where there's a clear return on getting AI right. Typically businesses with 5 to 50 staff, already using tools like Xero, Square, or a CRM, and ready to start automating manual tasks.
-
Cafes, restaurants, bars, and venues using AI to handle booking calls, automate rostering and track supplier costs. We also build custom data and analytic dashboards for a holistic view of venue operations.
-
Plumbers, electricians, builders, and HVAC businesses using AI to answer after-hours enquiries, send quotes faster, and confirm bookings automatically.
-
Accountants, consultants, financial advisers, and bookkeepers using AI to automate reports, draft proposals, and handle client follow-ups. If your team is spending hours on tasks that follow the same structure every time, we can fix that.
-
Retailers and ecommerce using AI to handle customer enquiries, flag low stock, and run win-back campaigns in the background. Connected to tools like Shopify, Square, and Xero.
“Our AI dashboard gives us a live, detailed snapshot of performance across every outlet - COGS, staff costs, revenue, and profit in real time, making it a powerful tool to support smarter decisions and ongoing growth.”
- Patrick Killalea Founder and Owner of Joe’s Deli
