AI integration

AI that fitshow you already work.

AI is most useful when it's connected to your own information and your existing tools, not sitting in a separate chat window. VRTL integrates AI into the places work already happens, with people approving the decisions that matter.

Free and takes about a minute. We only read your public web pages. Rather talk? Book a free 30-minute call.

What AI integration involves

Integrating AI is less about the model and more about everything around it:

  • Your information. Policies, product data, past quotes and specifications — prepared so the AI answers from your content, not from guesswork.
  • Your systems. Email, document storage, accounts and CRM software, connected so results flow into the next step automatically.
  • Your rules. What the AI may do on its own, what needs a person's approval, and what it should never touch.
  • A record. Every action logged, so you can see what happened and why.

Practical uses for SMEs

  • Reading documents — pulling key details from supplier quotes, invoices, delivery notes and specifications. See VRTL Extract.
  • Answering from your own knowledge — questions from staff answered from your approved documents, with the source shown. See VRTL Knowledge and VRTL Assist.
  • Sorting and routing — classifying incoming email and documents so they reach the right person or process.
  • Drafting — first drafts of replies, quotations or summaries for a person to check and send.

Keeping it safe and predictable

  • People stay in charge. Anything with commercial, legal or customer impact goes to a person for approval.
  • Grounded answers. Where answers must be accurate, the AI is restricted to your approved content and shows its source.
  • Data boundaries. We agree which data each feature can use before it's switched on. Website analysis only ever reads public pages.
  • Understood costs. AI usage is charged by the volume processed. We size it for your expected workload and explain how it's charged before you commit.

When we'll suggest something simpler

If a task is predictable and rule-based — moving an approved order into your accounts package, sending a reminder, generating a standard report — conventional integration is cheaper and more reliable, and that's what we'll build. Read more in AI agents vs traditional automation.

Questions we're asked

How much does it cost?

The initial assessment is free. Every VRTL product is a monthly subscription with no setup fee, and your personalised page shows the exact monthly price for your configuration, including VAT, before you commit. You can switch optional modules on and off and watch the price change. Anything that genuinely needs bespoke scoping is flagged clearly rather than added later.

Will it work with the software we already use?

Usually, yes. VRTL's integration modules connect to common accounts, CRM and operational systems through their published APIs. We confirm your specific systems at kick-off before any integration work is priced or started, and we'll tell you if something can't be connected reliably.

Is our data safe?

Website analysis only reads publicly available pages. Inside VRTL, each organisation's data is kept separate from every other customer's and access is controlled by your own team roles. We explain what data each integration uses before it's switched on.

What's the difference between automation and AI?

Automation follows fixed rules; AI interprets information that doesn't fit neat rules, such as free-text emails or documents in varied layouts. Many good systems use both: AI to read the input, conventional automation to do everything after that, and a person to approve anything important.
