AI Automation for Hampshire Businesses
We’re an AI automation company based in Andover, serving businesses across Hampshire. Three services, all designed to stop you losing money to missed calls, slow follow-ups, and admin that eats your evenings.
Your Phone, Answered 24/7
An AI voice agent that picks up when you’re on a job in Romsey or stuck on the M3 — answering questions, booking appointments and capturing caller details in a natural, human-sounding voice. It catches every call you can’t.
Agentic AI and AI as a Service in Hampshire
Half the agencies in Hampshire will sell you “agentic AI” without telling you what it is. Here’s the plain version, and what you actually get for your money.
AI as a Service (AIaaS)
You don’t buy the technology. You rent the outcome.
We build the agent, host it, monitor it and fix it when it breaks. You pay monthly and you get a working system, not a project plan and an invoice. No developers to hire, no platform licences to negotiate, no six-month build.
That’s what AIaaS means when a Hampshire business buys it. Chatbots from £57/month, voice agents from £97/month.
Agentic AI
An agent doesn’t just answer. It does.
A chatbot tells your customer you’re open until five. An agent takes the booking, puts it in your calendar, texts you the details and chases them the day before if they don’t confirm.
The difference is whether anything actually happens at the end of the conversation. If a provider can’t tell you what their AI does after it stops talking, it isn’t agentic.
AI Contact Centre
Calls, web chat and follow-ups handled in one place, without a contact centre.
For a Hampshire firm taking fifty calls a week, you don’t need a call centre. You need one agent that never goes to lunch, never leaves a voicemail and puts everything in the same system.
What It Won’t Do
Straight answer, because you’re comparing providers and everyone else will tell you it does everything.
- →It won’t replace your team. It removes the work they hate.
- →It won’t fix a broken process. Automate a mess and you get a faster mess.
- →It won’t handle every call perfectly on day one. It gets tuned over the first fortnight, with you.
If someone tells you otherwise, they’re selling.
Two ways in.
You can book a free 30-minute call and we’ll scope what’s worth automating and what isn’t. No pitch deck. If the honest answer is that AI won’t help you, we’ll say so.
Or if you already know what you want, pricing starts at £57/month for chatbots and £97/month for voice agents, and most systems are live in 24 to 48 hours.
Proof It Works
We recently built a system for a UK letting agency that took around seven hours a week of manual research off their plate. Whether it’s answering calls or killing admin, the principle’s the same: if your team does it every week and hates it, it can usually be automated.

Why a Hampshire AI Agency?
I’m Andy, and I’m based in Andover. I’ve got 30+ years in tech — not the trendy Silicon Valley kind, but the kind where you actually build things that work and fix them when they don’t.
I set up Antek Automation because I kept seeing local tradespeople and service businesses losing work to missed calls, slow follow-ups and admin overload. The big AI agencies don’t care about a plumber in Alton or a cleaning company in Fareham. I do.
Happy to meet for a coffee if you’re nearby — I’ve done it with businesses across the county, from Petersfield to Aldershot. But everything works brilliantly over a video call too. Most of my Hampshire clients never need to meet in person, and their AI agents run just as well.
The point is: you’re not dealing with a faceless agency. You’re dealing with someone who lives here, picks up his own phone, and actually gives a toss about whether this works for your business.
Is AI Search Recommending Your Hampshire Business?
When someone asks ChatGPT for the best plumber in Winchester, or tells Perplexity to find an electrician near Basingstoke, one business gets named. Usually it isn’t the one with the best website.
We know this works because we did it to ourselves. Antek is cited by name in Google’s AI Overview for AI automation in Andover, and ranks in the top three across the Andover map grid. Same county, same search engines, same methods we’d use on you.
A GEO audit shows you exactly where your business currently stands across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude and Gemini, and what it takes to get cited.
Free check, results in 48 hours. Full GEO audit from £247, delivered in 24 hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I meet you in person?+
Absolutely — we’re based in Andover, so if you’re anywhere in Hampshire we’re happy to meet for a coffee. That said, most of our Hampshire clients prefer video calls because it’s faster and more convenient. Either way works.
Do you work with tradespeople in rural Hampshire?+
Yes. Some of our best-performing voice agents are for trades businesses covering rural areas — exactly the kind of businesses where you’re most likely to miss calls because you’re mid-job with no signal. The AI catches everything you can’t.
What areas of Hampshire do you cover?+
All of it — we’ve got dedicated pages for Andover, Basingstoke, Winchester, Southampton and Portsmouth. Our AI solutions work remotely, so there are no geographic limitations.
How quickly can you set up an AI voice agent for my Hampshire business?+
Most voice agents and chatbots are live within 24–48 hours of you forwarding your number or giving us website access. For Hampshire businesses, we can usually do a face-to-face kickoff the same week if you prefer.
What does it cost for a Hampshire business?+
AI chatbots start from £57/month, AI voice agents from £97/month, plus a one-off setup fee. Most Hampshire businesses recover that within the first few captured calls. See full pricing, or book a free call for an exact quote.
What is AI as a service (AIaaS)?+
You rent the outcome rather than buying the technology. We build, host and maintain the AI system, and you pay monthly, from £57 for a chatbot or £97 for a voice agent. No developers to hire, no platform licences, no long build.
What is agentic AI, and do you provide it in Hampshire?+
Yes. An agentic AI does something after the conversation ends: books the job, updates your CRM, chases the confirmation. A chatbot that only answers questions is not agentic.
Do you provide AI contact centre services in Hampshire?+
Yes. Calls, web chat and follow-ups handled in one place, without running a contact centre. Suited to firms taking roughly fifty calls a week or more.
Can you get my Hampshire business cited in ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews?+
That’s what a GEO audit is for. We test your visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude and Gemini, then give you the plan to get cited. Antek itself is cited in Google’s AI Overview for AI automation in Andover, so the methods are the ones we use on our own business.

“We worked with Andy Norman from Antek Automation to integrate Retell voice agents with Shopify via n8n. He quickly resolved webhook and API issues, delivered a stable end-to-end automation, and communicated clearly throughout. His hands-on, practical approach made a real difference. Highly recommended.”
