FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about working with Squirrel AI.
First working automations are typically live within 2-4 weeks of engagement start. We prioritise quick wins — automations that deliver immediate value — while building towards more complex workflows. Discovery takes 1-2 days, then we move straight to building.
We've delivered AI transformations across private equity, venture capital, e-commerce, logistics, distribution, B2B tech, and healthcare. Our PE/VC backgrounds mean we understand businesses across sectors — we focus on operational impact and measurable ROI, regardless of industry.
We integrate with your existing stack. Our automations connect the tools you already use — CRMs, ERPs, email, Slack, spreadsheets, databases — into seamless workflows. No rip-and-replace, no migration headaches.
AI automations follow defined workflows — 'when X happens, do Y'. AI agents are more autonomous — they can make decisions, handle exceptions, and take actions based on context. We build both, and often combine them. For example, an automated support ticket system (automation) powered by an AI agent that decides how to resolve each ticket.
Every project starts with defined KPIs — hours saved, cost reduction, revenue impact, error rates, customer satisfaction scores. We track these before, during, and after deployment. Our case studies show concrete results: 60% ops reduction, 10x faster processing, Trustpilot ratings jumping from 4.2 to 4.8.
We build and deploy — we don't hand over slide decks. Our founders come from PE and VC, so we understand business models, hold periods, and what moves EBITDA. We go on-site, work with management teams, and drive adoption. First automations are live within weeks, not months.
