AI automation for the North East, built in the North East.
Custom, private AI software from a Newcastle team that turns up in person.
Ayoob AI is a full code AI automation company based on New Bridge Street in Newcastle upon Tyne. We build software that takes the repetitive document and data work out of North East businesses, from Team Valley to Teesport, and we do it on site. Every part of the region is within an hour of our office.

Discovery happens in your building.
The hard part of automation is not the model. It is understanding exactly how the work flows through your team: which emails, which spreadsheets, which exceptions, which system of record. That is learned sitting next to the people who do it.
So we do discovery on site, come back at each milestone, and give you a named engineering lead with a Newcastle phone number. A vendor three hundred miles away, or three time zones away, cannot do that.

On the GPU and AI compute infrastructure underneath the work. Engineering depth, not a reseller.
Founded and headquartered in Newcastle
Northumbria University alumni-founded, rooted in the region, with a growing North East client base.
The same six problems, across the region.
Document processing
Invoices, delivery notes, certificates, contracts and case files read, checked against your rules, and posted into your ERP, CRM or case system with an audit trail.
Workflow routing
Emails and enquiries triaged and routed to the right person with the right context, so nothing sits in a shared inbox for three days.
Private AI and on-premise systems
Models and pipelines that run on your own infrastructure, so confidential, regulated or commercially sensitive data never leaves your building.
Compliance pipelines
Subject access requests, FOI, audit evidence and regulatory returns produced continuously rather than in a quarterly scramble.
Internal tools
The dashboards, reconciliations and reports your team currently builds by hand in Excel, built properly and refreshed automatically.
Customer intelligence
Guest, client and account intelligence delivered at the moment of contact, built for hospitality, retail and professional firms.

Common questions from North East businesses.
Which parts of the North East do you cover?
All of it. We are based in Newcastle city centre and work on site across Tyne and Wear (Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, North and South Tyneside), County Durham, Northumberland and the Tees Valley (Middlesbrough, Stockton, Darlington, Hartlepool and Redcar). Everywhere in the region is inside an hour of the office.
Why choose a North East AI company rather than a London or offshore vendor?
Because the discovery happens in your building. We sit with the people who do the work, look at the real documents and systems, and come back on site at every milestone. You get a named engineering lead with a Newcastle number. We also understand the region’s economy: Team Valley manufacturing, Port of Tyne and Teesport logistics, Blyth offshore energy, Nissan’s supply chain, the NETPark science base, and the professional firms on Grey Street. That shortens every conversation.
What kind of businesses do you work with in the North East?
Manufacturers and their suppliers, logistics and freight operators, law and accountancy firms, hospitality groups, healthcare and dental providers, universities and the public sector. The common thread is a team spending too many hours moving information between emails, PDFs and systems by hand.
What does AI automation cost for a North East business?
We work on a 12-month retainer with a fixed written scope and a fixed price, confirmed within a week of the discovery call. Pricing scales with the size of the work. The retainer buys a dedicated senior engineering team rather than per-seat licences or a cloud subscription, and the code is yours.
Is our data kept in the UK and private?
Yes. We build private and on-premise systems where your data stays on infrastructure you control, and no third-party AI service sees your files. Ayoob AI is ISO 27001:2022 certified and Cyber Essentials accredited, and we are admitted to Crown Commercial Service frameworks RM6200 and RM6173 for public sector buyers.
How do we start?
Book a discovery call or phone 0191 468 3259. We will spend thirty minutes on your operation and tell you straight whether there is a project worth doing. If there is, you get a written scope and a fixed price within a week, and we start on site.
