## Case studies

- Fintech Support: From 2,000+ tickets to 1,180: 41% reduction in 8 weeks. A growing fintech company was drowning in support tickets. We built a support copilot that handles routine queries while escalating complex issues to human agents.
- Legal Document Processing: From 40 hours/week to 2 hours: 95% time reduction in 6 weeks. A law firm was spending 40 hours/week on document review. We built an AI system that processes contracts, extracts key terms, and flags potential issues automatically.
- E-commerce Personalisation: From 12% to 34% conversion: 183% increase in 10 weeks. An e-commerce retailer was struggling with low conversion rates. We built an AI-powered personalisation engine that delivers tailored product recommendations and dynamic pricing.
