What We solve

If any of these sound familiar,
We can help.

Every engagement starts with a specific pain point — the thing costing your business the most time, money, or competitive ground right now

01AI Strategy & Roadmap

“Our competitors are talking about AI. My clients are asking about it. And I genuinely have no idea where to start.”

Two hours will be spent on your business — understanding your processes, your team, your goals. Your top 10 AI opportunities will be ranked by ROI and produce a 30-day action plan. Option to stay on as a monthly AI partner so the strategy stays current as the technology keeps moving.

✓Clarity you can act on today — without months of research and wrong turns

02Data Foundation & AI Integration

“We want to use AI, but our data is a mess — spreadsheets everywhere, old systems nobody touches, nothing talks to anything else.”

You can't put AI on top of broken data — it simply won't work. I audit your data landscape, migrate everything into a clean centralised database, and build a connection layer so AI can actually query it. The result: ask “which clients haven't paid?” or “who's our best performer this month?” and get an instant answer.

✓Your data becomes an asset AI can actually use — not a liability blocking progress

03IoT Integration & Smart Control

““We have sensors, machines, and devices collecting data — but it all lives in isolation. Nobody can see what's actually happening across the floor.””

Your physical equipment shouldn't be invisible to your business. We connect your IoT devices and sensors into a single, centralised system and build a clean admin control panel so you can monitor, manage, and act on everything in one place. Whether it's environmental monitoring, equipment status, or real-time alerts — the data your hardware generates finally becomes something you can actually use.

✓Full visibility and control over your connected hardware — without enterprise-level complexity or cost

04Custom Business Tools with AI

“We're running the whole business on spreadsheets and sticky notes. It's holding us back, but we can't afford enterprise software.”

The single process bottleneck costing your team the most time each week will be identified, then a custom tool to fix it will be built — real database, proper interface, deployed to your domain. It will include an AI chat layer on top so anyone can ask plain-English questions about your own data and get instant answers.

✓A system built for how you actually work — at a fraction of enterprise software cost

About

Real-world experience,
not just theory.

Hi, I'm Gavin Barnett — founder of GenkiTech AI and a software developer with over 27 years of experience building systems that actually work in the real world.

I started GenkiTech because I kept seeing a lot of hype and a lot of scepticism around AI - the truth is somewhere in the middle. I was also sceptical of AI until someone showed me what it could do and how to leverage it properly with the result that my entire development outlook changed in one day. Now I want to focus on delivering real world results for small-to-medium sized companies, leveraging AI where it makes sense. I believe the best technology makes your team's day smoother by seamlessly blending into existing processes.

My team and I work closely with SMB owners and their teams across the UK — combining technical depth with a genuine focus on people and change.
