THE GAP IS ALREADY HERE
Your team is probably already using AI.
Do you know what information they are giving and where it goes?
UNAPPROVED AI AT WORK
71%of 2,003 surveyed UK employees aged 18+ said they had used unapproved consumer AI tools at work.
Microsoft / Censuswide ·DATA ENTERING CHATBOTS
77%of employees in LayerX’s enterprise browser analysis pasted data into generative-AI prompts—not necessarily confidential data.
LayerX ·WHY THIS MATTERS NOW
When staff reach for consumer AI tools without a sanctioned alternative, client details, pricing and internal documents can be pasted into services the firm does not control. These studies cover different populations: business adoption is not evidence of a data leak, and pasting data does not necessarily mean sharing confidential information. The practical question is whether your firm has clear rules and an approved way to use AI with sensitive information.
WHEN THE WORK IS SENSITIVE
Some information can go into public AI. Some information should NEVER leave your network.
Client contracts and financial records may be off-limits in public AI tools. Even when notes, reports or emails are allowed, you might still pause before pasting them into a chat.
Cotier brings AI onto your network, so your team can put approved information to work without sending it to a public service. You decide what the system can access and how its answers are checked.
BUILT AROUND THE BOUNDARYKeep the intelligence.

Serious aspirations.
Growing a business shouldn’t mean spending every spare hour on admin. Private AI can help your team prepare work faster, respond to customers and make room for what’s next. We start with a practical task, fit the system to your business and keep your people in control of the results.
Trades people
Turn job notes into draft quotes, prepare invoice details and summarise enquiries—so following up on new work takes less time away from the job.
Professional services
Find relevant information in client files and prepare first-draft letters and reports—giving your specialists more time for advice, relationships and new business.
Letting agencies
Draft replies to enquiries, summarise tenancy documents and flag outstanding paperwork—helping agents keep more tenancies moving without getting buried in correspondence.
Healthcare and veterinary practices
Organise appointment enquiries and draft routine correspondence—helping the front desk keep up as the practice grows, while clinicians remain in charge of care.
Insurance and financial brokers
Extract policy details, organise claims paperwork and prepare client updates for review—helping brokers handle a growing caseload while retaining professional oversight.
Local retailers and hospitality
Draft customer replies, summarise sales and stock reports and prepare supplier orders for approval—making more room for service and planning the next stage of growth.
Our process. Simple. Transparent. Guaranteed.
No mystery, no open-ended engagement. Each stage has a clear purpose and a clear end, and you decide whether to continue at every point.
1. An introductory call
A free, open discussion with management. We talk about the kind of things Cotier offers and the problems that keep you awake at night—the irritations that continually come up.
2. A paid strategy assessment
We interview your staff and find where the bottlenecks are. You receive a complete strategy and proposal: how an AI workflow would work, and a financial analysis showing what it saves—so you can make an informed decision. The numbers have to stack up, or we will tell you not to proceed.
3. We build the system
On your instruction, we build under retainer. Because we go on-premises, there is a hardware component installed on site and a software design component for the solution and the AI.
4. Refinement, training, and a guarantee
We teach your staff how it works and tune it until it runs on rails. If you are not happy at the end of this phase, hand the hardware back and we will refund your money.
5. Optional ongoing support
Once set up, the system is largely hands-off. But most firms want hand-holding, upgrades and answers to "can it do this?"—so a monthly fee covers maintenance and new ideas. It is entirely optional.
