How much of your business could run itself?
The typical UK service-business owner spends around 16 hours a week on admin their software was meant to handle — confirming bookings, chasing payments, filling cancellations, following up. Answer eight quick questions to see what share of that could run itself, and how many hours you'd get back.
AI Readiness Scorecard — answer eight quick questions about how you run your service business today and see what share of your weekly admin an AI agent could take over, with an estimate of hours back per week and per year.
The idea: an AI agent that works across your whole business — not a dashboard you read, but a system that confirms bookings, fills cancelled slots from your waitlist, asks happy clients for reviews, and nudges quiet clients in the background. You decide how much it does.

Meet the AI agent How this is worked out. Your score estimates the share of routine operational work an AI agent could take over, based on how much you handle by hand today across bookings, cancellations, payments, follow-ups and marketing. Hours saved are an estimate scaled to the admin time you reported; the 16-hour figure is the average from Aasure's 2026 UK survey of service-business owners. It's a guide to where the opportunity is, not a guarantee for your specific business.
