Where can a Kent small business get help with AI?

There is training, such as Kent County Council’s Kent AI Skills Accelerator and the Kent Invicta Chamber’s AI Academy, which teach staff to use AI tools. For building something specific to your business, Karnworks is an AI consultancy in Margate that works with small businesses across Kent.

Is Karnworks part of the Kent AI Skills Accelerator or the Chamber AI Academy?

No. Karnworks is independent and has no partnership with either. They train people; we build things. The two work well side by side.

Do I need AI training before working with you?

No, but it helps. Staff who have done some training tend to get more out of what we build, and often bring better ideas to the first chat.

Do you work across the whole of Kent?

Yes, from Thanet to Maidstone, Canterbury, Ashford and beyond. Meetings can be in person or on a video call.

Karnworks / Kent

Where can a small business in Kent get help with AI?

Kent has good AI training, such as Kent County Council’s Kent AI Skills Accelerator and the Kent Invicta Chamber’s AI Academy. Training teaches your staff to use AI. Karnworks, an AI consultancy in Margate, builds things: a fixed-price prototype about a week after a free chat, then the full build.

Training and building are different jobs

Training gives your team the confidence to use AI tools day to day. Building gives your business something that does a job for you: an agent that handles admin, an assistant that knows your processes, a tool made for the way you work. Most businesses need some of both.

Local training

Kent AI Skills Accelerator: AI training for eligible Kent small and micro businesses, backed by Kent County Council.
Kent Invicta Chamber AI Academy: online AI training for staff, offered through the Chamber.

Karnworks isn’t affiliated with either scheme. Check their pages for current eligibility, dates and costs.

Where we come in

Once your team knows what AI can do, the question becomes what to build. That’s our part: we find the job worth automating, prototype it at a fixed price, and build it properly if it earns its keep. Examples include automating admin and a custom AI assistant.

Why a small consultancy

You work with Nathan Poulton from the first chat to handover: about 15 years in tech as an engineer, manager and product lead, including leading AI adoption at a world-leading tech company. No platform, no licence, no lock-in. You own what’s built. More about Nathan.

Across the county

Karnworks is based in Margate and works with businesses across Kent, in person or by video call. Closer to home, see Thanet and Margate.
