How We Work With You

At Lotusbrains Studio, we don’t throw generic automations at your business and hope they stick. We partner with you through a clear, collaborative process that uncovers the right workflows, designs the right systems, and keeps everything running securely at scale. Below is the journey we take with every client – from first conversation to long-term optimisation.

Get Started

Step 1

Discovery & Workflow Audit

Every engagement starts with a focused discovery call where we listen before we build. We dig into your current workflows, tools, team structure, and growth goals so we can see the full picture of how work actually gets done in your business today. Together, we surface the hidden friction points: manual data entry, repetitive customer touchpoints, approvals that always get stuck, or fragmented information across systems.

From there, we map out your end-to-end processes and identify the highest-impact automation opportunities – the places where AI and workflow automation will free the most time, reduce the most errors, and unlock the most value. You’ll walk away from this stage with absolute clarity on where automation should start, what success looks like, and which outcomes matter most to your business.

Automation Blueprint & ROI Plan

With your workflows mapped, we translate insight into a clear automation blueprint. This is a practical, business-first plan that shows what we’ll automate, which tools and AI models we’ll use, and how everything will connect to your existing stack – from CRMs and ticketing systems to spreadsheets and internal databases. We prioritise quick wins that deliver value early, while designing a foundation that can grow with you.

Alongside the technical architecture, we build an ROI view of the project: time saved, manual hours reduced, expected cost savings, and potential revenue uplift from faster, more reliable workflows. You’ll see timelines, milestones, and responsibilities clearly laid out, so you know exactly what’s coming and what outcomes to expect before any solution is implemented.

Build, Integrate & Test

Once the blueprint is locked in, our engineering team gets to work turning it into a robust, production-ready automation layer. We build modular workflows using battle-tested tools like n8n, custom APIs, and LLM-powered services, connecting them carefully to your CRM, support platforms, data sources, and internal systems. Every automation is designed to be transparent, debuggable, and easy to extend later.

Before anything goes live, we run rigorous testing: edge cases, failure scenarios, load behaviour, and integration checks across your environment. We verify data handling, permissions, and fallbacks, making sure that automations behave correctly even when something upstream fails. The result is a system you can trust – not a fragile set of scripts, but a resilient automation backbone for your business.

Launch, Training & Change Management

Great automation isn’t just about technology – it’s about people confidently using it. We plan your launch to minimise disruption, rolling out new workflows in phases where needed and keeping your existing operations running smoothly while the new system comes online. Where appropriate, we run “shadow mode” tests so your team can compare old and new processes side by side before fully switching over.

We then focus heavily on enablement: live walkthroughs, training sessions, and clear documentation tailored to your team’s roles. We show your operators how to monitor automations, adjust parameters, and handle exceptions, so they feel in control rather than replaced. The goal is simple – your people should feel supported, empowered, and excited about the time and headspace they’ve just won back.

Optimisation, Security & Ongoing Support

After launch, we don’t disappear. AI automation is a living system, and we stay close to help you keep it sharp as your business evolves. We monitor performance, review logs, and analyse where workflows can be simplified, sped up, or made more intelligent with better prompts, routing rules, or models. As you add new services, products, or teams, we extend your automation layer to support them.

At the same time, we keep a strong focus on security, governance, and compliance. We help you maintain clear audit trails, enforce access controls, and ensure your solutions remain aligned with internal policies and regulations such as UK GDPR. You’ll have an expert partner on call to troubleshoot issues, roll out improvements, and keep your automation stack running safely and reliably at scale.
