Your AI Curator™

Give your best people
their week back.

Every week, hours go into reports, follow-ups and pulling things together. None of it reaches an invoice. I find that work, measure it, and tell you plainly what AI should take on and what it shouldn't.

You're probably looking for an AI consultant. What I actually become is your AI Operating Partner™.

Sound familiar?

The work that never reaches an invoice.

✦

Too much of our time goes on work that will never appear on an invoice.

✦

Our proposals take three days to write and still sound like everyone else's.

✦

Our clients are starting to question fees for work they assume AI should handle by now. We don't have a good answer yet, and we know that conversation is coming.

✦

We're worried about spending serious budget on something our team won't use. Again.

✦ ❦ ✦

Take that work off your people and they get their week back for the work clients actually pay for.

Curious what that work adds up to? Put one task through the free Repetitive Work Calculator and see.

The Curator

Why me.

I'm Rob Abbey. I spent a decade building automation and AI products for US technology companies, the kind with real users, real revenue, and real consequences when something broke. Now I run a deliberately small Irish practice: ten client firms at a time, all the work done by me.

"We shipped more than 10 products and big features together. What stands out about Rob is how he mixes deep product knowledge with empathy and calm leadership. He listens, asks the right questions, and really gets the technical side, which makes working with him easy and effective."

A former colleague. Mercurious is a new practice, and quotes stay labelled by relationship until client results earn their place here. In the meantime, the Fleet Log shows the fleet working inside Mercurious every week.

How this goes

Three steps. You can stop after any of them.

Each step stands on its own, and each one ends with you knowing something you didn’t know that morning.

Clarify

The AI Orientation

One hour, online. You tell me where the work is piling up, what keeps slipping, and what you've already tried and quietly abandoned. I tell you whether AI helps here, where it would help first, and what I'd do if the firm were mine.

Count

The Census

One facilitated day inside your firm, counting the work that never reaches an invoice and weighing it properly, with your people in the room because they're the ones who know where it goes. Analogue only: no laptops, no recording, and a printed roll runs the length of the boardroom table and stays with you. You get a written AI Roadmap within 48 hours, and the firm gets a clear picture of how much of its week could go back to client work.

One day · €1,850, credited in full if you go ahead within 90 days.

Deploy

The Mercurious Fleet

An AI operating partner in practice: a managed team of named agents on your own accounts and your own keys, taking on the work the Census counted and handing it back ready for review. I build the fleet, then mind it month by month, and I'll tell you whether it's still earning its keep. My own practice has been running on it for months before yours ever will.

Ten client firms. Priced after your Census: an implementation to start, then a monthly fee for management and improvement.

Manage

Or have one person hold the whole thing.

For firms of fifteen to seventy-five people, I offer two fractional AI leadership places: a day a week dedicated to your firm, as an AI Operating Partner™. The counting, the building, and the minding, held by one person who answers for it.

A head of AI, one day a week →

Nobody signs anything on the day. The Census ends with a direction: deploy, wait, or something smaller. You make the go or no-go call in your own time, and we take it up from there.

Client zero

Mercurious runs on its own fleet.

I run Mercurious on the same fleet I deploy for clients. Every Friday the Fleet Log shows one real workflow from inside the business: what I built, what it did, what it got wrong, and what changed once I'd used it. Warts and all, from a working business.

See the Fleet Log

The fleet is built against The Seven Shifts™: seven requirements for AI a firm can actually adopt. Walk through them →

What you get back

More than time.

◆

The manual work decreases. That's the part you'd expect. The benefit most people don't expect is the weight that goes with it, the part you probably didn't even realise you were carrying.

The Friday report that used to eat two hours is in your drafts folder by Thursday night, checked, structured, and ready for you to look over.

The person walking into the client meeting carries a briefing built from the last three call notes. Key concerns, open questions, what was promised last time.

The emails that would have piled up by 9am have suggested replies already waiting. Yours to send, change, or ignore. But there.

Are you a good fit?

Is this you?

I work best with a particular kind of firm. Tick whatever rings true.

Then you're the sort of firm I do my best work with.

The next step is the AI Orientation: one conversation, €450, and written recommendations within 48 hours that are yours to keep. No commitment beyond that one session.

Worth knowing:

You don't need a technical background. The Census is designed for business owners and their teams, not developers. No computers in the room.

Your systems and data don't need to be perfect. Part of the day is understanding what you actually have to work with.

Start with the hour.

No preparation needed, and nothing to tidy up beforehand. You bring the situation you're actually in, and I'll tell you what AI would do about it, what it wouldn't, and what I'd do first if the firm were mine.
