AI & Automation

What We Deliver

Most companies are drowning in AI options and paralysed by uncertainty about where to start. They have heard the hype, attended the conferences, and received ten pitches from AI consultancies promising transformative results, followed by expensive proof-of-concepts that never make it to production. Codanum approaches AI integration differently. We start with a workflow audit: a structured review of your actual operations to identify the highest-value automation opportunities. Not hypothetical ones, real processes where your team is doing repetitive, rule-based work that costs hours per week and introduces errors. We rank them by implementation effort versus value delivered and build a prioritised roadmap. For LLM integrations, we work across OpenAI (GPT-4o, embeddings), Anthropic Claude, Google Vertex AI, and open-source models (Llama, Mistral) for privacy-sensitive applications. We build proper RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines that give your AI accurate context from your own data, rather than hallucinating answers. We implement guardrails, structured output parsing, and fallback handling, because production AI systems need the same error-handling rigour as any other software. For workflow automation, n8n is our primary tool. It is open-source, self-hostable (your data never leaves your infrastructure), and far more powerful than Zapier or Make for complex conditional workflows. We connect your CRM, email, Slack, databases, Google Workspace, and custom APIs into automated pipelines that run 24/7 without human intervention. The result is not just cost savings. It is your team's time redirected from repetitive execution to strategic thinking.
