Tom’s AI Productivity & Tooling Qualifications
Experience level: Director
My expertise isn't just about knowing what a tool does; it's about understanding how to stack them together to build a real, automated system. I've seen so many people get lost trying to find one "magic" platform. My theory is that the real power comes from using "glue" platforms like N8N or Make to connect the tools you already use. It's about designing an entire, visible workflow—letting your data in Airtable or your processes in Notion talk directly to your sales outreach in Smartlead. I've used this exact approach to solve complex, real-world problems, like automating a client's entire purchasing order system. We took a 40-hour-a-month manual nightmare and cut it down to five. I believe these visual, node-based tools are a game-changer because they let you see your process, taking automation out of a "black box" and putting you in control.

At Synaite, we help businesses unlock the full power of AI and automation. We design, build, and deploy intelligent systems that streamline operations, enhance customer engagement, and drive scalable growth. Our focus is on real-world automation and consultancy, not hype. We connect tools, teams and data so your business runs smoother, faster, and smarter. We use a proven AI audit that is designed to ensure business owners invest in AI and actually see a return on investment. 1) Discovery Interviews - become an inefficiency detective We interview both stakeholders and end-users to map goals, tools, and the real daily work. Interviews are short, focused and structured to uncover time sinks, quality risks and manual double-handles - not to sell solutions. 2) Process Mapping & Opportunity Prioritisation We translate interview findings into an Ops Canvas (acquisition, delivery, support engines) and tag friction points. Those become inputs to an AI Opportunity Matrix that plots impact vs effort so everyone can see Quick Wins, Big Swings, Nice-to-Haves, and what to deprioritise. We validate the matrix with the client in a collaborative workshop 3) Developing an AI implementation roadmap. We deliver an executive presentation that tells a clear story: what we learned, the top opportunities, the phased roadmap (start with Quick Wins), and the ROI. The Money Slide converts hours saved into annual cost savings and potential revenue uplift so the investment becomes an obvious decision. --- Why this matters 80% of AI projects are failing. Running an audit allows us to identify, as experts, where the best place for AI implementation is within their business and help them not waste money on simple, zero ROI AI solutions. --- About my role - Founder, Synaite As the Founder of Synaite, I lead business development and the audit methodology we use to diagnose and unlock value. Building Synaite has been a rollercoaster of problem-solving, late-night tooling experiments, and the satisfying work of turning repetitive pain points into automated systems that actually free people up to do better work. It’s been challenging and thrilling in equal measure - every audit teaches us something new, and every client win reinforces why I started Synaite: to make intelligent automation accessible to everyone.
