How it works What it replaces Who it's for Pricing Advisory The 40-Minute Moment Guide Privacy Get Started

Your follow-ups go out. Your meetings are prepped. Your clients hear your voice. Even when your focus is elsewhere.

Orca is an AI orchestration app, configured around how you work, who you know, and how you communicate. It conducts the tools you already have, so they finally work together. Not a tool you learn, a role you hand over. It does the job of the junior team member you would hire if you could find, afford, train, and keep one.

Why Orca? The clue is in the name. Orca orchestrates your calendar, inbox, transcripts, CRM, and research into a single workflow. It conducts the tools you already have, so they finally work together.

It is not a tool you learn, it is a role you hand over. Orca does the job of the junior team member you would hire if you could find, afford, train, and keep one. It is the work that should be delegated, done by something you can actually delegate to.

You run a business. You also run your own diary, your own follow-ups, your own meeting prep, and your own inbox. You have tried the AI tools. They do not know your clients, your voice, or your priorities. You do not have time to teach them.

Orca is different. Someone who understands the technology and your world builds it around you. From day one, it knows who you are meeting, what matters, and how you communicate.

This is what Monday morning looks like without Orca.

07:00
Scanning inbox 47 emails overnight. Which ones matter? No idea without opening each one.
07:30
Prepping for the 09:30 Who was in the last meeting? What did you promise Sarah? Digging through sent items, calendar notes, old threads.
08:15
Writing a follow-up You know what you want to say but the context is scattered across three apps.
08:45
The missed reply Four days since a client asked about contract amendments. The relationship cost of that silence is real.
09:00
No briefing notes Four back-to-back meetings. Walking in cold to every one.
2.5 hours of admin before the first meeting starts

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

When did you stop noticing?

It’s always quicker to just do it yourself… right?!

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.

Everything Orca handles

Meeting prep, follow-ups, and inbox triage are just the start. Here is every capability running behind the scenes.

What three hours a day is actually worth

£0 recovered capacity per month
Effective hourly rate £150–£250
Time saved daily 2.5–3.5 hours
Working days per month 20
Orca costs £350/month

But the real value is not the arithmetic.

The follow-up that went out 20 minutes after the meeting instead of four days later. The meeting where you walked in knowing their company just won a contract and could congratulate them before talking business. The client who felt heard because your email referenced exactly what they asked for, in the tone they are used to from you.

That is not three hours of admin recovered. That is relationships maintained, reputation protected, and revenue retained.

What would you do with an extra afternoon every day?

Not more admin. Not more meetings. The thinking time you used to have before your business outgrew your capacity to run it alone.

Three steps. Then it runs.

1

Discovery Call

20 minutes

We talk about how you work: your calendar, your communication style, your key relationships, your priorities. Four quick questions when you book. Then just a conversation.

2

Build and Configure

One week

Chris builds your Orca instance: voice calibration, contact intelligence, integration with your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, business context, and prompt engineering. You do nothing during this stage.

3

It Runs

From day one

Orca preps your meetings, drafts your follow-ups, triages your inbox, and manages your tasks. It gets better every week as it learns more about your world. If anything needs attention, it comes directly to Chris.

Built for one type of person

CEO, founder, or managing director of a 5-to-50 person professional services firm. You run a relationship-driven business. You have 15 to 30 external meetings a month. You are digitally comfortable but time-poor. You understand what AI can do in principle but do not have time to configure and maintain it yourself.

If you are already spending Sunday evenings prepping for Monday's meetings, or if you have missed a follow-up that cost you a relationship, Orca exists for you.

You need a good junior. You cannot find one, cannot justify one, or cannot face training another.

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 orchestration optimised for one person at a time. Someone builds the orchestration around you, maintains it for you, and owns the outcome.

Why I built it

Chris Simmance

I run a consultancy. I have 25 to 30 external meetings a month, a team to manage, and clients who expect me to remember what we discussed three weeks ago.

I was spending two to three hours every morning on the same thing: scanning my inbox, prepping for meetings, writing follow-ups, and trying to remember what I had promised to whom. The AI tools existed but none of them knew my clients, my voice, or my priorities. I did not have time to teach them.

So I built something for myself. I connected my calendar, my email, and my meeting transcripts to a system that understands how I work. It drafts follow-ups in my voice. It briefs me before every meeting with context I would have spent 20 minutes finding manually. It triages my inbox and creates tasks from emails that need action.

The follow-ups that used to take me an hour each morning now go out before I have finished my coffee. The meetings I used to walk into cold, I now walk into knowing exactly what was discussed last time, what I promised, and what has changed in their business since.

I built Orca for myself first. Then other founders started asking for it. Now I build and maintain it for them too.
