AI Implementation for Communications

Your team spends hours on tasks that machines could handle. Your data sits unused. Your reporting is manual. Your content analysis happens quarterly, if at all. We build AI systems that solve these problems.

Most AI consultancies hide their methods. We publish ours.

Applied Comms AI documents our experiments, tools, and systems publicly. When we recommend something, you can see the testing that supports it. When we build something, you can review similar work we've shared.

This is an AI consultancy backed by Imperial College training, 20 years of communications leadership, and transparent proof of what we've actually implemented.

What We Build

  • Content analysis systems
    Tools that process thousands of posts, articles, or responses to identify patterns, surface insights, and generate automated reports. We've built these for agencies tracking campaign performance and charities analysing stakeholder feedback.

  • Workflow automation
    Systems that handle repetitive communications tasks — drafting initial content, generating meeting summaries, processing consultation responses, and creating status reports. Frees your team for work that requires human judgment.

  • Sentiment and stakeholder monitoring
    Custom tracking tools that analyse media coverage, social media mentions, and community responses. Flags emerging issues, tracks sentiment shifts, and produces regular insight reports.

  • Knowledge management chatbots
    Internal systems trained on your organisation's documentation, policies, and expertise. Enables staff to query information instantly rather than searching through files or waiting for colleagues.

  • Integration and optimisation
    Connecting AI capabilities to your existing platforms and workflows. We work with your current tools — we don't require expensive enterprise system replacements.

Our Approach

  • Discovery (1-2 weeks)
    We map your workflows, identify bottlenecks, and assess where AI genuinely helps versus where it creates more problems than it solves.

  • Prototype and test (2-3 weeks)
    We build a working prototype of the proposed system. You test it with real tasks. We refine based on what actually works in practice, not theory.

  • Deploy and train (2-4 weeks)
    The system goes live with full documentation. We train your team to use and maintain it. You own the system, not us.

  • Support (ongoing, optional)
    Monthly advisory support available for optimisation, troubleshooting, and expansion.

Every implementation includes governance frameworks – defining where human oversight is mandatory, how to handle errors, and when to override AI outputs.

Who This Is For

  • Agencies and consultancies building internal AI capabilities to serve clients more effectively and improve operational efficiency.

  • Membership organisations and charities needing to do more with limited resources while maintaining quality and mission alignment.

  • Communications teams in corporations, public bodies, or infrastructure projects managing high-volume stakeholder engagement.

  • Leadership teams requiring strategic counsel on AI investment, implementation priorities, and realistic expectations.

    What You Should Know

  • We tell you when AI isn't the answer
    Some problems are better solved with process change, better tools, or additional staff. We won't recommend AI implementation just to secure a project.

  • We build systems you can maintain
    Our implementations use accessible tools and clear documentation. The goal is capability transfer, not dependency.

  • We work at your pace
    Some organisations are ready for custom system builds. Others need literacy training first. We start where you are.

  • We're honest about limitations
    AI makes mistakes. Systems require maintenance. Implementation takes longer than demos suggest. We set realistic expectations and provide rollback procedures.

Applied Comms AI: Our Public Lab

Everything we learn, we share. Applied Comms AI publishes:

  • Tool testing and comparative analysis

  • Workflow experiments and results

  • System builds with code and documentation

  • Failures, limitations, and lessons learned

  • Framework templates and evaluation criteria

This transparency means you can evaluate our capabilities before engaging us. You see the actual systems we've built, not just marketing claims about AI expertise.
