AI Engineering · York · Canarlo, Leeds
Production AI, web apps, and automations for York businesses. An AI consultancy that understands regulated data and seasonal operations — on-site in under half an hour.
Working in York
York's business base is more technical than the postcard suggests — insurance, rail, bioscience, all under regulators. An AI consultancy here has to pass audits, not demos.
The work we do for regulated firms is the unglamorous kind that passes audits: decision logs with input, output, and model version on every automated action, DPIAs shaped before processing starts, retention enforced at the database. If your compliance team has ever asked a vendor for an artefact and received a slide deck, you know why this matters.
The other York is the visitor economy — hospitality groups, attractions, and event operators whose staffing and pricing swing with the season. That's automation territory: booking reconciliation, rota-to-demand matching, review and enquiry triage. No AI badge required; just workflows that stop eating weekends.
On-site from Leeds
York is 25 minutes from Leeds by train — closer than most of Leeds is to itself in traffic. Kickoff at your office, architecture reviews in person, and same-week availability for anything urgent. No travel charges within Yorkshire.
Delivery itself runs remote-first — weekly demos on a real preview URL, readable diffs, UK office hours. The engineer who writes the proposal writes the code and takes the call when something breaks.
What we build
The full detail — what we build, how it works, pricing — lives on the service pages. They cover the whole of the UK; /services/ai-engineering is the place to start.
AI Engineering
Agents, RAG, evals, MCP — shipped with audit trails. Every automated decision logged with input, output, and model version.
Web Apps
Next.js + Supabase, per-row security at the database, UK-hosted. Eighteen security patterns enforced by default.
Automations
Webhook-triggered workflows that replace manual ops. Signed webhooks, idempotent retries, audit row per attempt.
From the £8k AI System Audit to £100k production builds. Fixed scope, GBP invoicing, no day-rate dance.
How much does AI engineering cost? →Frequently asked
Yes — it's a 25-minute train from Leeds, so recurring on-site days are trivial. Weekly in-person demos are a normal way for us to run a York engagement if that suits your team.
That's most of our work. UK GDPR data residency, DPIA support, structured audit logs, human-in-the-loop boundaries where classification demands them. We produce the artefacts your DPO and auditors actually ask for, as part of the build rather than after it.
No — but the buyer needs to own the problem. We write briefs in plain English, explain trade-offs without jargon, and hand over code any competent engineer can pick up later. What we don't do is no-code chatbots; if that's the right answer for you, we'll say so and save you the scoping call.
Fixed-fee tiers from the £8k AI System Audit to £100k production builds, scope written down before billing starts. Invoiced in GBP, VAT itemised. The SOW names the technological uncertainties so your accountant can file the R&D tax credit claim without rewriting anything.
You. The repo, the schemas, the eval set, the runbook. No Canarlo SaaS in the loop, no licence fees — plain TypeScript any competent engineer can pick up. Vendor swap is a config change, not a re-architecture.

Twenty minutes, UK office hours. If the work fits, we’ll say so. If you’re better served by an audit first — or by not hiring us at all — we’ll say that too.
