AI consulting for small businesses, as software
It maps where AI can save your business time, picks the tools for your budget, lays out a 90-day plan and generates your website, in minutes. A person checks the AI drafts.

The one-time setup
Eight parts, ready the moment you pay and yours to keep. The numbers come from your answers and live tool prices; AI writes the words around them, and a person checks those drafts.
Your AI consultant workspace
InstantWhere AI saves you the most time, ranked by value against effort from your own answers, with what it can't do.
What to set up in which order, week by week, tied to your setup checklist.
The stack's cost against the value of the hours it saves, with payback. Time only, never promised revenue, and labelled Estimate.
The exact tools at four monthly budgets with live prices, plus playbooks, prompts and automations to set them up.
Up to 5 pages generated from your answers: live preview, a hosted address, a ZIP export and a leads inbox.
A printable document with your name and logo, a link to share with staff, and an AI usage policy for your team.
A chat that answers from your own plan straight away. 3 questions a month get a reply from a person within 24–48 working hours.
Log the hours AI actually saves you. It tells you the day the setup has paid for itself.
Optional
Instead of a consultant
Both have a place. For most small businesses the first job is working out where AI fits, and that part now works as software.

Published ranges, not quotes. A human consultant still does things software can't, like running workshops inside your team.

Questions
The things people ask before they buy.
It's software that does a consultant's first job: working out where AI fits your business, which tools to use at your budget and in what order. The numbers come from your answers and live prices, AI writes the words, and a person at Dapols checks those drafts and answers your questions within 24–48 working hours. It never logs into your systems or acts on its own; you approve every step.
The questionnaire matches you to the closest plan and tells you when the fit isn't exact. Your opportunity map, roadmap and business case are worked out from your own answers rather than the industry label, so they still fit. The questionnaire is free, so you can see the match before you pay anything.
Yes. Ask within 7 days of paying and we refund the setup, no questions asked.
The questionnaire is free and shows you which plan we'd assign. A one-time payment then unlocks your AI consultant straight away: an opportunity map, a 90-day roadmap, a business case, your plan's tools at four budgets, and an AI website builder that drafts a site of up to 5 pages for you to edit and publish. A person checks the AI drafts. It's yours to keep — nothing continues after that payment and we don't keep your card for a later charge. About a month in we'll ask whether you want an optional monthly subscription that keeps the plan current as prices and tools change; you start it, and you can stop it without losing the plan. Current prices are on the pricing page.
Especially for you. Dapols speaks in plain business language — save time, reduce software waste, get more leads — and recommends tools that are easy to start with. Every plan is written so a non-technical owner can follow it, and a person checks the AI drafts made for yours.
We score business impact, repetition, feasibility, readiness, and risk; then match the workflow against a curated catalog, your existing systems, and your total stack budget. We show assumptions, alternatives, and what not to buy yet.
Keeping it current is the optional subscription, offered about a month after your setup rather than bundled into it. While it is live we track relevant pricing, model, and product changes and turn them into keep, test, switch, downgrade, or cancel recommendations. We date every evidence check and link to the source; vendors remain the final source of truth. Stop paying and you keep the plan, frozen at its last snapshot.
Yes, and the plan is written so you can: the setup steps come in order, in plain language, for a non-technical owner, and a person checks the AI drafts made for your plan. If you need hands-on work inside your systems — several workflows, unusual systems, an integration that needs a person — that is a separate custom engagement, quoted and invoiced directly rather than sold through our checkout. We never ask for credentials in a public form or promise autonomous access to sensitive systems.
No. We only surface updates that actually matter for your business, budget, and current tools.
Yes. Every plan includes consultation: the AI consultant answers instantly from your own plan and its verified prices, and a person at Dapols reviews open questions and replies within 24–48 working hours. Raise anything there — a tool that isn't working for you, a swap you're considering, a step you're stuck on.
Site tools are ChatGPT's implementation of WebMCP. In ChatGPT's built-in browser, ChatGPT Work or Codex can discover a Dapols plan's budget stack, setup steps, prompts, agent recipes, connections and safety rules in the page language. Dapols exposes read-only tools, so the agent can prepare and explain work but cannot spend, publish, send or change permissions. Availability depends on the current ChatGPT app, model, workspace and rollout.
Seven questions, about two minutes. You see your AI readiness score, your top three opportunities and a starter stack before you pay anything.
