Today, eight things need you. Seven are already written.

Orca reads your inbox, diary, transcripts and CRM, and does the work while you are elsewhere. You get one list: replies drafted, meetings ready to confirm, the chase you had forgotten. A small pill sits on your screen showing how much is waiting, so you never have to go and look. You approve. It sends.

Orca
Online

It started work before you did.

By the time you sit down, today’s priorities are picked, the drafts are written, and everything is paused at your sign‑off. Nothing leaves without a yes.

AI scheduling, email triage, meeting notes, drafts, CRM updates: each usually means another subscription doing a slice of the job. Orca does all of them in one product and ties them together. It knows your goals, watches your relationships, and learns your voice over weeks.

Not because you are disorganised. Because nobody is doing the operational layer for you.

With Orca

Day one. You did nothing differently.

Meeting Brief
First meeting. 30-person consultancy in Bristol. Connected via James at WCE dinner in November. Exploring managed AI for their ops team.
Connection
Warm intro from James Whitfield. Dave mentioned capacity challenges on LinkedIn last month.
Recent Activity
Meridian won a Home Office contract in January. Hiring across three roles. Company turnover £4.2m.
Suggested Approach
Congratulate on the Home Office win. Ask about onboarding pressure from new hires. Position Orca as operational capacity, not another tool.

It doesn't wait to be opened.

Software you have to remember to check is software you stop checking. So Orca keeps a small pill on your screen. It shows what is waiting, and you clear it from there.

Nothing waiting, and it is a quiet dot. Something waiting, and it is a number. Click it and the queue opens over whatever you were doing: replies to approve, a meeting to confirm, a follow-up to send. Approve one and you have five seconds to change your mind.

Your next meeting sits at the top with a countdown. Ten minutes out, it turns amber, because that is the moment you would otherwise walk in cold.

Underneath, the short list of what Orca did while you were away. Work you cannot see is work you do not believe in.

And because the pill is always there, Orca is too. Close the main window and it keeps going: drafting, prepping, chasing. Open your laptop in the morning and it has already been at it.

What the people running it say.

Everything Orca does on my behalf goes through me first. That approval step is what makes it usable in a real business.
Simon WestSales Now
The reason Orca works where other AI tools don’t: it never acts without approval. You get the speed without giving up the judgement.
Matt CourtnidgeArden Contracts
Orca really is a game changer. My new personal assistant has turned hours of admin into minutes. Not only giving me the time back but really enriching the information I then have to hand.
Mark HuxleyHuxley Advisory
It neatly mitigates the resource drain of a host of small tasks and allows them to be effectively managed in one space, at a fraction of the time previously spent.
Matthew BarnwellIH Solutions
What impresses us most about Orca is that they never stand still. They are constantly looking for ways to innovate, enhance their platform, and provide even greater value to their clients. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.

This is Orca

The actual product, mid‑morning.

One list of what needs you, a briefing that wrote itself overnight, and everything Orca handled without being asked.

What stops landing on your desk.

Meeting prep, follow-ups and inbox triage are the start. Tap anything to see it working.

Connects to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, Teams, Fireflies, Fathom or Otter, LinkedIn, ClickUp or Trello, WhatsApp or Pushover, Companies House and Chrome. Claude API usage is part of your licence: no separate AI bill, no key to manage.

£9,000

of recovered capacity. Every month.

Effective hourly rate £150–£250
Time saved daily 2.5–3.5 hours
Working days per month 20
Orca costs £350/month

The arithmetic is the smaller half. The larger half is the follow-up that went out the same afternoon instead of four days later: relationships maintained, reputation protected, revenue retained.

Three steps. Then it runs.

1

Discovery call

30 minutes

A conversation about how you work: your calendar, your communication style, your key relationships, your priorities.

2

Build and configure

One week

Chris builds your Orca instance: voice calibration, contact intelligence, and integration with your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. You do nothing.

3

It runs

From day one

Orca preps your meetings, drafts your follow-ups, triages your inbox, and gets better every week. Anything that needs attention goes directly to Chris.

Discovery Package: £750 £399 Setup and your first month bundled. Everything included, 30 days of hands-on support. See the package

Self-serve AI tools optimise for scale. They need to work acceptably for millions of users, which means they work brilliantly for nobody.

Orca is the operational layer built for one person at a time.

Someone builds it around you, maintains it for you, and owns the outcome.

Why I built it

“I was spending two to three hours every morning scanning my inbox, prepping for meetings and writing follow‑ups. So I built something for myself. Then other founders started asking for it.”
