About Alex

Alex Holt

You know AI matters. You're using it for advice, for drafts, for ideas. But you can feel the gap between what's hyped and what's actually working in your business. That gap is where I operate.

I've been building digital technology since the late 90s — agency teams in London, early-stage startups (Idibu, Cooltra, Hailo) through to enterprise and government clients. The last three years I've been deep in AI transformation R&D, building the agentic systems and automation workflows that most people are still just talking about. I build the tech. I also speak plain English. That combination is harder to find than you'd think.

The approach is straightforward. A free AI audit to find the gaps and measure your readiness. A 30-minute call to align on what matters. I prepare a workshop plan, we refine it together, then a full workshop day that leaves you with clear priorities, working automations, and a team that knows what to do next. If it fits, I'll deploy managed agents that keep delivering after I'm gone.

I'm not on 24/7 call. I don't sell magic wands — real results require your team to put the work in. If you're a founder ready to genuinely leverage AI, not just talk about it, you'll get straight answers and outcomes that stick. Connect on LinkedIn.
