Research-led AI
Our AI work is led by an active, highly cited AI researcher. We give honest advice on where AI will help your business, and where it will not.

One team for every screen your business uses.

Why Matsense AI
Research-led engineering for real businesses.
Senior people only
Every project is run by experienced engineers from our own team. No subcontractors, and no handoffs between departments.
Built to last
We would rather grow with you over time than deliver a project and move on. Support plans keep your software secure and up to date.
AI agents
One secure connector between your AI tools and your systems.
We build one connection layer using the open Model Context Protocol. Each AI tool connects to it once, and each of your systems is wired in once. Adding something new later is one connection, not a rebuild.

Questions
Before you get in touch.
What does a project cost?
It depends on what you need. After a free call we give you a clear written quote before any work starts. If your budget is limited, tell us. We would rather scope a smaller project properly than stretch it too far.
Do you work with small businesses and start-ups?
Yes. Many of our clients are small, local businesses. We shape each project to fit your stage and budget.
Is it safe to connect AI to our business data?
We start with read-only access, keep the connector in your own UK cloud account and log every action. Anything that changes data or sends a message needs a person to approve it.
Can you work under an NDA?
Yes. Send us yours, or we will send you ours.
Do you support the software after launch?
Yes. Many clients stay on a monthly plan that covers updates, security and small improvements.
