Why it stalls
Most automation projects never leave the pilot.
Automation only pays off when it lives inside the tools your team already uses. Bolt-on software nobody adopts is worse than doing nothing, because it still costs money and still needs maintaining.
We map your processes first, then build with Microsoft Copilot, n8n and Power Automate so the automation runs inside your existing Microsoft 365 or open-source stack, with GDPR and compliance built in from the start.

Questions
Asked and answered.
Who offers AI automation consulting in Glasgow?
Summone Consulting is Glasgow’s specialist AI automation consultancy. Founded by Steven Summone with 25+ years of FTSE enterprise experience, we help Glasgow businesses use AI automation to save time, reduce manual admin and improve operational efficiency.
Do you cover Edinburgh too?
Yes. Summone is Glasgow HQ with an active Edinburgh client base, working across the Central Belt in financial services, legal, professional services and technology, designing AI automation that delivers measurable time savings.
What does an AI automation consultant actually do?
We assess your business processes, identify where intelligent automation saves the most time or cost, then design, build and deploy it. That starts with mapping your workflows in a free 45-minute audit, then building solutions that integrate with your existing systems.
Can you help with Microsoft Copilot?
Yes, Copilot deployment is one of our core services. We configure Copilot for Microsoft 365, deploy Copilot Studio for custom AI agents, and build Power Automate workflows on top of it, alongside advice on licensing, governance and data security.
Can you build n8n automations?
Yes. We design and build n8n workflows for Scottish businesses that need flexible, cost-effective automation: CRM automation, lead processing, document workflows and API integrations, with self-hosted deployment available for full data sovereignty.
How much does AI automation consulting cost?
A focused single-process automation typically costs £2,000 to £8,000. Multi-system programmes involving Copilot, n8n, Power Automate and custom AI integrations range from £10,000 to £30,000 and up. The free 45-minute audit scopes your needs and gives you a clear, fixed-cost proposal.
Is AI automation worth it for a small business?
Often the biggest beneficiaries. Fewer resources means more to gain from eliminating manual admin. Common quick wins include automating email responses, invoice processing, appointment scheduling, report generation and customer follow-ups.
Do I need custom software to use AI automation?
No. Most AI automation runs through platforms you already use, such as Microsoft 365, n8n or Power Automate, connecting the tools you already pay for before we recommend anything new.
