The story behind AutoAITech, and the person you will work with.
Sean Mulligan
I'm Sean Mulligan, the founder of AutoAITech. I design, build and run AI systems for professional service firms: recruitment and executive search firms, financial advisers, accountancy and legal practices, and B2B sales teams. The idea behind the business is simple. The kind of AI infrastructure large companies have whole teams building should be available to a ten-person firm too, set up around how that firm already works.
I got into software out of curiosity, pulling apart the tools I used to see how they worked. That turned into teaching myself properly, through online courses such as Harvard's CS50 and DeepLearning.AI's machine learning programmes, and through a lot of late nights building things that did not work until, eventually, they did.
Before AutoAITech, I took on free projects for anyone who would let me, building small tools that saved people time. Some were simple, like a spreadsheet that filled itself in or an inbox that sorted itself. Others were bigger. Each one taught me the same lesson. The work that fills a business's week is rarely hard. It just never ends, and it lands on the people who should be doing something more valuable.
AutoAITech grew out of that. The more firms I spoke to, the more I saw the same pattern: skilled people, hired for their judgement, spending their evenings on research, data entry and chasing. I wanted to take that work off their desks for good, and that is what the business has been built around ever since.
I still design, build and run every system myself. I would rather build a few things properly than many things quickly, and I hold every system to one test before it goes live: would I trust it with my own clients?
I'm from Dublin and grew up playing GAA with my local club. Years of training sessions in the rain taught me that the unglamorous work, done properly every week, is what wins, and I run the business the same way. Outside work I'm usually in the gym, hunting down the best new spot to eat in Dublin, or reading about how other founders built their companies.
What I love most about this work is that, on my own, I can make a real difference to a business. A system I build in a few weeks can give a whole team back hours every week, for good, and seeing that happen for a client never gets old.
How I work
What working with me means for your firm
01
You talk to the person building it
No sales team and no hand-offs. The person who hears about your problem on the first call is the one who builds the fix.
02
Problems fixed the same day
If a result looks wrong, you message me and it is looked at that day, not logged in a ticket queue.
03
A monthly review of what you got
Each month you see what your systems did, what they were worth and what changes next.
What clients say
From a few of the firms we work with
“The tool has saved me hours every week and has allowed me to scale my outreach in a way that simply wouldn’t have been possible manually. What stands out most is Sean’s responsiveness and willingness to keep improving the tool.”
“He provided an excellent service and the outputs of the search both in terms of the candidates identified and the report on each, far exceeded my expectations. I have no hesitation in recommending Sean and AutoAITech and will certainly work with him going forward.”
“Efficient, professional, it is a pleasure working with AutoAITech.”
