Practical software & automation

Practical software, automation and AI-assisted workflows for everyday businesses.

We map the manual process that's costing you time, then build the smallest thing that fixes it - a script, a small application, or an AI-assisted workflow. No platform contracts. No hype.

Typical engagement - before / after
Check inbox Cross-check spreadsheet Copy into system Send update ~ half a day, every day One small app does all four steps Runs itself a few minutes a week
01

Most businesses are running on manual patches

Spreadsheets that only one person understands. Checks done by eye that should be done by a rule. Updates copied by hand between three systems that don't talk to each other. It works - until it doesn't, or until it quietly costs someone a day a week.

PATTERN 01

A process that depends on one person remembering all the exceptions.

PATTERN 02

Data re-typed between a spreadsheet, an inbox and a system of record.

PATTERN 03

Checks and approvals that happen "because someone has to look at it."

You do not need a fully scoped technical brief to start. Bring the process that is slow, repetitive, risky or frustrating - we will map it together, decide whether it is worth automating, and shape the smallest reliable solution.

Three ways to start

Start here

Discovery Call & Process Audit

Free call · then fixed price, 3–5 days

A free call to hear about the process, followed - if it's worth pursuing - by a short fixed-price audit: we map where the time actually goes and hand back a report on what's worth automating, what a fix would look like, and a rough cost.

  • Free call, no commitment
  • Audit only if it's worth it
  • Plain-English findings, no jargon
Ongoing

Automation Partner

Monthly · light retainer

Once something's live, processes change. A small monthly retainer keeps it maintained and lets you call on the same person as the next manual process surfaces.

  • Maintenance and small changes
  • First call for the next process
  • Cancel any time

Proof, not promises

3 days, every review cycle
Minutes
Release Validator
Case study

Release validation workflow for a complex public-sector environment

Manual release checks were taking significant time each cycle. We developed an automation-assisted approach to read change information, structure the review, and produce a clearer sign-off output - reducing manual effort while preserving traceability.

Product case study

Telecoms start-up product built from concept to user testing

Currently in user-testing, we built a telecoms service that includes user onboarding, payments, compliance-aware flows, subscription handling and service management.

Sample approach

Solution design

AI-assisted hiring system, proposed for a fast-growing service business

Invited to pitch a solution for a startup's hiring bottleneck, the recommendation was deliberately not to build a recruitment platform from scratch - but to buy a proven ATS for workflow, and build a focused AI evidence layer around it.

  • Buy the workflow (ATS, pipelines, careers page); build only the judgement layer
  • Every AI recommendation shown with its evidence, never a bare score
  • Human sign-off required on every shortlist, hold and rejection
  • UK GDPR and Equality Act controls designed in from day one
  • Feedback loop from interview and retention outcomes back into scoring
  • 90-day plan: one role live end-to-end by day 30, measurable results by day 90

Why LexGen

Experience

Twenty-plus years shipping software that had to work

Fintech, government, healthcare, telecoms and media - regulated, high-stakes environments where "it mostly works" was never good enough.

Capability

End-to-end delivery - as solo developer or team collaborator

From a spare-time idea to a live product, and from a messy manual process to a small tool your team actually uses.

Modern edge

AI where it earns its keep, not for its own sake

AI-assisted development and AI-supported workflows where they genuinely save time - never bolted on because it's fashionable.

06

Who's behind it

With over twenty years of hands-on delivery across fintech, government, healthcare and telecoms, LexGen gives clients direct senior delivery without the usual agency layers: collaborative, practical, no account managers, and no junior developers learning on your invoice.

Most recently, that meant building governance and automation tooling for a UK government research body. You work directly with the person building the thing.

Sectors worked in:

Fintech Government Healthcare Telecoms Media

Have a manual process worth a second look?

Start with a short discovery call. If there is a useful opportunity, we can follow with a fixed-price process audit that maps the workflow, identifies what is worth automating, and gives you a clear next-step estimate.
