What I do

I am Alexey Shurov, an applied AI engineer based in London. I design, build, deploy and operate AI agents that run in production for paying clients, in the United Kingdom and internationally. The focus is not demos. It is systems that hold up under real volume and stay accurate enough to trust on a deadline.

Results, client confirmed

Read each figure as before to after. The work is measured by what it removes.

Each system is written up under solutions, with how it works and what it needed from the client.

When to get in touch

How I work

Every claim traces to a source, and releases ship behind replay tests on real past cases. In regulated work a person owns the decision. The agent recommends, with its reasoning cited.

Systems are built to stay up. A run can fail and recover without corrupting data. I do not claim a model never fails. I build so that when it does, it recovers safely.

I scope the first version to one workflow and one clear outcome so it ships in weeks rather than quarters, run it in shadow mode alongside the team, then widen it.

What a project needs from you

Access to the systems the work already lives in, usually a mailbox and the system of record, with a login the agent can use safely. The rules written down, or a person who knows them and has an afternoon to explain them.

A set of real past cases to test against. Replaying last month through a new version before it goes live is what lets a team trust the change. A named owner for the decisions the agent will not make, and a period where it runs alongside the team in shadow mode before it acts on anything.

Tell me about the work

I read every message myself and reply with an honest view of whether the task is worth automating. Tell me what your team spends too long on.

Common questions

Who is Alexey Shurov?

Alexey Shurov is an applied AI engineer based in London. He builds and operates production AI agents that take repetitive operational work off teams, with fifty-plus agentic systems shipped for clients across finance, manufacturing, distribution and field operations.

What does an AI automation consultant do?

Finds repetitive operational work that follows rules, then designs, builds and runs the system that takes it over. Here that means production AI agents that read documents and emails, apply the business rules, write to the systems of record and hand the unclear cases to a person.

Which industries does Alexey Shurov work with?

Staffing, manufacturing, wholesale and multi-country distribution, asset management and field operations so far. The common thread is document and email heavy work with clear rules, such as payroll timesheets, quotes, order entry, specialist matching and multi-site reporting.

Does he work with companies outside London?

Yes. He is based in London, United Kingdom, and works with clients internationally.

How long does an AI automation project take?

It depends on how many formats and rules there are. The first version is scoped to one workflow and one clear outcome so it ships in weeks rather than quarters. It runs in shadow mode alongside the team and is then widened.

How much does it cost to automate a workflow with AI?

It depends on the workflow, so there is no list price. Send the task and you will get an honest view of whether it is worth automating. The free ROI calculator on this site works out the payback from your own hours and costs, and the AI agent pricing guide shows what vendors charge.

Will an AI agent replace the team?

The aim is to remove the reading and re-keying, not the people who understand the rules. Someone still owns the sign-off, and the exceptions still need judgement, which is where the team's time goes once the keying is gone.

What is needed to start?

Access to the systems the work lives in, usually a mailbox and the system of record. The rules written down, or a person who knows them. A set of real past cases to test against, a named owner for the decisions the agent will not make, and a period in shadow mode before it acts on anything.
