This isn't just AI setup. Every VisionXY7 engagement is led by a business consultant first, technologist second — Dr. Mahdi Seify holds a PhD in Artificial Intelligence and an MBA, is the originator of the Deep Business Analytics (DBA) framework, and is an ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor with 25+ years leading programmes from £12k to £200m.

Solution 01 · Local Trades

AI Missed-Call &
Quote Assistant for Local Trades

Every missed call is a missed job. When you're up a ladder or under a sink, the AI Missed-Call & Quote Assistant automatically replies to the missed call and picks up WhatsApp messages on your behalf — by text, not by voice.

It asks the customer a short set of qualifying questions about the job, then sends an instant ballpark quote back by text, so the customer isn't left waiting and you don't lose the lead to whoever answers first.

Text-based only

Every reply arrives by SMS or WhatsApp text. There is no voice or phone-answering capability in this service today.

Solution 04 · Website Design

Starter
Website

A simple, professional website — built by a PhD/engineer-led team, not assembled from a generic template farm. It won't be the cheapest quote you get, and it isn't meant to be: you're paying for a properly structured, hand-built site with room to grow.

Add AI-written content or a voice agent to your site later, without a rebuild — the Starter Website is built on the same foundations as VisionXY7's larger Smart Web Ecosystems, just scoped down for a smaller budget.

What's included

1
Up to 5 pages, hand-built
No drag-and-drop template — properly structured HTML from the ground up
2
Mobile & tablet-responsive
Looks and works correctly on every screen size
3
Basic on-page SEO setup
Meta titles, descriptions, heading structure, and a submitted sitemap
4
Contact / booking integration
A working enquiry form or booking widget built in from day one

Solution 06 · Learn It Yourself

AI & Technology
Training

Not every problem needs a built agent. Often the fastest, cheapest route to real results is learning to use the AI and everyday technology tools you already have access to — properly, and with a plan. Sessions are led personally by Dr. Mahdi Seify, PhD, and built around the tools and workflows you actually use.

Training vs. building an agent

Teaching you or your team to use AI directly is often cheaper and faster than commissioning a Custom AI Agent Build — especially while you're still working out exactly what to automate. Add a built agent later, once the use case is proven.

What's covered

1
Practical AI tools for everyday work
ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot and similar — prompting, safe use, and getting useful output first time
2
Workflow & automation basics
Turning repetitive email, document and admin tasks into simple, repeatable steps
3
Knowing when to build instead
A clear, honest steer on when a Custom AI Agent Build is actually worth the cost

Solution 08 · One Idea In, Everywhere Out

Smart Social —
AI Content Autopilot

Send one topic, product update, or even a rough voice note — the AI drafts on-brand captions, generates matching images and a short-form video, and publishes them straight to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, YouTube (Shorts) and TikTok.

This isn't another scheduling dashboard for you to learn. VisionXY7 sets it up, trains it on your brand voice, and calibrates a human-reviewed safety checkpoint before it ever goes live — so it just works, on the schedule you choose.

What's included

1
One-prompt content generation
Send a topic, product update or voice note — AI drafts the caption, on-brand images and a short video/reel version

3
Website content sync

Prefer No Monthly Fee?

One-Time Build — No Subscription

Frequently Asked

How much does an AI missed-call assistant cost for tradespeople?

VisionXY7's AI Missed-Call & Quote Assistant for local trades has two pricing tiers. Starter costs from £99 one-off setup plus from £9 per month, and covers one phone number, one trade, and basic job qualification and quoting. Standard costs from £250 setup plus from £19 per month, and covers multiple phone numbers or team members, more complex trade-specific logic, and priority support. Both tiers are text-based only, answering missed calls and WhatsApp messages by text — there is no voice capability.

What's included in an AI Readiness Audit?

VisionXY7 offers three audit options. The Mini Scan costs from £297, takes about 2 hours and is delivered remotely, diagnosing one named issue. The AI Readiness Quick Scan costs from £950, takes about one day, is delivered remotely, and produces high-level findings with quick-win recommendations. The Full AI & Business Analytics Audit costs from £2,000, takes about one week, combines on-site and remote work, and produces a detailed, prioritised roadmap built on the Deep Business Analytics (DBA) Business Connectivity Map methodology, led personally by Dr. Mahdi Seify, PhD.

Does the AI missed-call assistant answer with a voice, or just text?

Text only, at present. The assistant automatically responds to missed calls and WhatsApp messages via text, qualifies the job by asking a short set of questions, and sends an instant ballpark quote back by text. No voice or phone-call capability is included in either pricing tier.

Which areas does the AI Missed-Call & Quote Assistant for local trades serve?

The service is available to trades businesses in Milton Keynes, Oxford, Cambridge, London and Birmingham.

How much does the Busy-Professional AI Digest cost?

The Busy-Professional AI Digest has two plans. The Standard Plan costs from £7 per month with no setup fee: you forward chosen newsletters and emails to a dedicated address, get one daily digest from up to 5 RSS/news sources, and one AI-drafted LinkedIn post idea per day to copy and post yourself. The Customized Plan starts from £75 setup plus from £35 per month, scoped per customer, and adds full Gmail/Outlook mailbox integration, premium or real-time news monitoring beyond RSS, multiple digests or real-time alerts per day, and automatic posting directly to LinkedIn on your behalf.

Should I use this page or VisionXY7's Solutions for Medium-Sized Business?

This page is built for sole traders, local trades businesses, and busy professionals who want an affordable, low-commitment starting point. Established SMEs and corporate teams with more complex operational needs should see VisionXY7's Solutions for Medium-Sized Business, which covers Smart Secretary, Smart Web Ecosystems, AI Marketing, RPA, Smart Note-Taking and Autonomous Sales Agents.

How much does a starter website cost?

VisionXY7's Starter Website starts from £500 as a one-off build. It includes up to 5 hand-built pages, mobile and tablet-responsive design, basic on-page SEO setup, and contact or booking integration. It is built by a PhD/engineer-led team rather than assembled from a template, with the option to add AI-written content or a voice agent later without a rebuild.

What's included in the Website Care Plan?

The Website Care Plan is an optional add-on to the Starter Website, starting from £150 per year. The exact rate depends on how often changes are requested and the site's performance requirements — a scoping call sets the final quote. It covers routine content updates, backups, security monitoring, and minor edits, so the site stays current and secure after launch.

How much does the AI Visibility Foundation fix cost?

The AI Visibility Foundation fix for small practices and sole traders costs from £350 one-off setup plus from £99 per month for Ongoing AI Visibility & Content. It's a scoped-down version of VisionXY7's AI Search Visibility Management service, covering the core schema markup, structured data and AI-crawler foundations a small business needs to stay findable and citable.

What's the difference between the Small Business and Medium Business AI visibility tiers?

The Small Business AI Visibility Foundation is from £350 setup plus from £99 per month and covers the foundational schema markup, structured data and AI-crawler visibility work a small practice needs. The standard AI Search Visibility Management service for medium-sized businesses is £1,199 to £1,200 per month and adds ongoing AI-optimised content creation, technical SEO maintenance and continuous visibility tracking across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. The small-business rate is a deliberate, scoped-down discount — not a stripped trial.

How much does AI & Technology Training cost?

VisionXY7's AI & Technology Training is priced separately for individuals and companies. One-to-one individual sessions start from £45 per hour online or £65 per hour in person. Small team or group sessions for small and medium-sized companies start from £450 per day online or £650 per day in person for a core group of up to 8 attendees, with company turnover and attendee numbers setting the final day rate on a short scoping call.

What's the difference between AI & Technology Training and a Custom AI Agent Build?

Training teaches you or your team to use existing AI and everyday technology tools directly, and is often the cheaper, faster starting point when you're still working out exactly what to automate — there's no build or hosting cost. A Custom AI Agent Build is a dedicated, hosted AI agent built and maintained for one specific workflow. Many clients start with training, then commission a Custom AI Agent Build once the use case is proven.

How much does VisionXY7's advisory and consultancy time cost?

Individual and small business Advisory & Consultancy Hours with Dr. Mahdi Seify, PhD, start from £95 per hour online or £125 per hour in person, covering any AI, technology or operations question with a written summary and next steps included. Medium-sized companies wanting day-rate advisory should see VisionXY7's Solutions for Medium-Sized Business page.

How does Smart Social's one-prompt AI content actually work?

You send VisionXY7 a topic, product update or even a short voice note. The AI drafts an on-brand caption, generates matching images and a short-form video, and — once cleared through a human-reviewed brand safety checkpoint — publishes it across your chosen platforms (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, YouTube Shorts and TikTok) and can sync the same story to your own website automatically.

How much does Smart Social cost?

Smart Social has two pricing tiers. Individual / Creator costs from £19 per month plus from £79 one-off setup, covering up to 8 AI-generated posts per month across up to 3 platforms. Small Business costs from £49 per month plus from £149 one-off setup, covering up to 20 posts per month across all 6 platforms (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, YouTube and TikTok), website content sync, and a monthly strategy check-in call. A daily-cadence option (30+ posts/month) is available from £79 per month. Medium-sized businesses wanting a higher-volume, dedicated-strategist version should see VisionXY7's Solutions for Medium-Sized Business page.

Can I pay once for Smart Social instead of a monthly fee?

Yes. Smart Social can be built and handed over as a one-time project instead of a monthly plan. The Individual / Creator build starts from £249 one-off and the Small Business build from £599 one-off, both with no required ongoing subscription. After handover, you only pay again if you need a change, a fix, or extra support — billed at VisionXY7's standard hourly rate, from £45 per hour, only when you actually need it.
