Jo, Mill Lane Deliveries
We run three vans and plan the day’s drops on a whiteboard every morning. It works while Sue’s in, but when she’s off nobody else really knows how she does it, and the drivers end up ringing round. Could something do the planning for us?
Duet
It could. A planner that shares the drops between your vans, and re-plans when one’s off the road.
Software made to measure & yours to keep.
We build small tools for the jobs off-the-shelf software doesn’t quite fit, like planning the day’s deliveries across three vans and re-planning when one’s off the road. They run on the computers you already have, and they’re yours.
Priya, Bookkeeper
Every invoice that comes in, I save it to the shared drive, type it into a spreadsheet, then enter it again in Xero, and chase anything overdue. It takes most of my Monday. Can any of that happen on its own?
Duet
Most of it. Your apps can pass it between themselves and tell you when it’s done.
The copying & chasing, handled.
We connect the apps you already use so routine jobs happen without you. An invoice arrives by email, and it’s filed, added to your spreadsheet and drafted in Xero, and you get a WhatsApp to say it’s done.
Dan, Builder
My receipts stay in the van until the accountant asks for them at the end of the quarter. Then it’s a weekend of typing them in, and some have faded too much to read. Is there an easier way to keep on top of it?
Duet
Post them in as they arrive. We’ll read them into your books and ask you about anything unclear.
Paperwork in & data out.
Receipts, supplier invoices, delivery notes and voice notes, sent in however they arrive. We set up the reading, checking and filing so the figures end up in your books, and anything it can’t read clearly comes back to you as a question.
| Supplier | Date | VAT | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lansdown Fuel | 17 Sep | ? | |
| Severnside Spares | 18 Sep | £14.00 | £84.00 |
| Bristol Timber | 12 Sep | £69.70 | £418.20 |

Sarah, Practice manager
We might move premises next year, and I need to know what our lease says about leaving early. It’s a sixty-page PDF and nobody remembers the terms. Can we just ask our documents questions like that?
Duet
Yes. You’ll get the answer, and the page it came from.
Your files, asked & answered.
We set up a private assistant that knows your contracts, letters and minutes. Ask it a question in plain English and it answers with the page it found it on, so you can check.

The Tenant may end this Lease on its fifth anniversary by giving six months’ written notice.

2Office leasep.12
A break notice has no effect unless all Rent due is paid in full on the Break Date.
Yes, once: on 1 March 2029, with six months’ written notice. It only counts if all the rent is paid up on that day.
Sam, Muddy Paws
I run a mobile dog grooming business and bookings come in by text, Facebook and phone. I’d like a proper booking app, but I don’t want to spend thousands to find out my customers won’t use it. How would I test the idea first?
Duet
Build a first version in a week. Sow it on Monday, try it on Friday.
Sow it on Monday & try it on Friday.
Bring us an idea on Monday and we’ll build a working first version by Friday, for you to try with real people. If you go ahead, the week comes off the price.

Here’s one we built for real.
Real case · store and chain not named
Four hours to build & about £3,000 a week saved.
A supermarket store needed a delivery rota that worked around ten rules and every driver’s availability. By hand it would have taken the best part of a week. We built a tool in about four hours that found the most efficient use of the hours, and the fewest new hires needed to fill the gaps.
By hand
Every rule checked by eye
By hand: about a week’s work, and no saving found.
With the tool
10 rules · every driver’s availability and notes
With the tool: about 4 hours to build, then a new rota in a minute or two.
About £3,000 a week saved.

Our files are confidential, so before we use anything like this I need to know where our data goes, who can see it, and whether it ever leaves the UK.
Duet
Wherever you choose. Here are the options.
Clever AI, kept close & kept yours.
Some work is fine on a mainstream AI service. Some should never leave the building. You choose where it runs, from a UK data centre to a machine in your office with no internet connection, and we build to suit.
UK-hosted · on your own network · fully offline if it has to be
Where your words go: Nowhere outside the UK. Your files and the model both live in a UK data centre we run.
Ali, Café owner
I’ve had quotes from agencies that went up halfway through. How does this work, and how do you price it?
Duet
One conversation, then a fixed price, agreed before we build anything.
One price & no surprises.
We talk the job through, on a call or in person. You get one fixed price in writing before anything is built, then a working tool in days. This site was made the same way. See how
