What clients say
“They really helped us to take away some of those kind of mundane everyday tasks that the team was finding quite time consuming […]”
“Thank you, Alex and the team, for helping us start our AI journey.”
“Our team's productivity has improved a lot, thanks to useful tips from Innovative Workspace.”
What we do
AI your team will actually use
In many organisations, people already use AI on their own: no shared tools, no rules, no plan. We turn that into something safe, useful and measurable.

A four-week, fixed-price pilot: an AI-readiness check, one working automation or AI agent on a real admin task, a short staff training session and a simple AI-use policy, and a written handover. Founding price €799 for the first two organisations, in exchange for a testimonial and an approved case study; then from €1,500.

A four-week pilot
The pilot is our Starter, on one real admin task: for example intake forms, reporting, scheduling, donor or volunteer emails, or turning handwritten forms into data. The first two organisations get the founding price, in exchange for a testimonial and a case study they approve before publication.

Questions we’re often asked
What does “your own AI” mean?
AI set up for your organisation, on tools you already have or qualify for: in the Starter, one working automation or AI agent on a real admin task. It runs in your accounts and stays yours. We don’t build a new AI model; we make the good ones work safely for you.
Do we need technical staff?
No. One person to lead the pilot on your side, for about two hours a week. We also need access to the tools and the examples of real work the task uses.
Which AI tools do you use?
Usually the one you already have or qualify for, such as Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat, Google Gemini, ChatGPT or Claude. Several have free or discounted plans for nonprofits.
What does it cost?
The Starter is a fixed price, agreed in writing before we start: founding €799 for the first two organisations, then from €1,500. Agents and custom work get a written fixed quote: one task per agent, a fixed quote within two working days. How our pricing works
Is our data safe?
Before we set anything up, we check what the tool does with your data, switch on the right controls and agree clear rules on what must never go into AI. Every agent we build comes with a full data-protection pack.
Do you only work with nonprofits?
No. We work with nonprofits and purpose-led organisations of about 10 to 250 people.
Does this help with the EU AI Act?
It helps with one duty in particular. In the EU, organisations that use AI must take measures to build their staff’s AI literacy; no set level or certificate is required. The Starter includes staff training and a record of who was trained. It is not legal advice or a certification.
