AI agents that do a job, not just answer questions

AI without purpose is noise. AI with purpose drives measurable outcomes. Every agent we build starts with one question: what is this agent’s purpose?

Purposeful AI

Edison Networks offers AI as a Service — purpose-built AI agents designed for UK small businesses. Unlike generic chatbots, every Edison AI agent is built around a specific business purpose: handling inbound calls, automating contract renewals, or managing WhatsApp customer conversations. Pricing starts at £10 per agent per month plus 12.5p per minute usage. Each agent integrates directly with your existing CRM system, updates records in real time, and includes human handoff for complex queries. Edison has over 30 years of experience in UK business telecoms and serves businesses with fewer than 20 staff.

“We don’t build AI for novelty. We build AI that does a specific, measurable job.”

Three agent types, three clear purposes

Each agent is designed around a single, measurable job — not a vague promise of “AI-powered everything”.

Real businesses solving real problems with purpose-built AI agents.

🏥

Medical Clinic

Challenge: Losing one call per clinic per day, each worth an average of £125. That added up to £45,000 per month in missed revenue.

Solution: Edison’s AI call centre agent now handles 80% of routine inbound queries automatically, freeing reception staff to focus on patients.

£45,000/mo recovered
💰

Debt Collection

Challenge: Low phone engagement meant poor payment plan uptake. Customers ignored calls but needed a way to set up Direct Debits.

Solution: WhatsApp AI agent enabled two-way conversations, delivering higher engagement and more Direct Debit setups than phone outreach.

Higher engagement & more Direct Debits

Sports Manufacturer

Challenge: Seasonal renewal ordering was entirely manual — relying on staff to remember which customers needed re-ordering and when.

Solution: AI agents now monitor seasonality patterns, trigger outreach at the right time, and secure next-season orders automatically.

Automated seasonal renewals

Simple, transparent pricing

No hidden fees. No long-term lock-in on pilots. Start small, prove ROI, then scale.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about AI agents for small businesses.

What is AI as a Service for small businesses?

AI as a Service means you get purpose-built AI agents that handle specific business tasks — like answering calls or chasing renewals — without needing to build or manage AI yourself. Edison’s agents start at £10/mo per agent.

How do AI call centre agents work?

When a customer calls, the AI agent identifies them via CRM, pulls their history, understands their query using natural language processing, and either resolves it or routes to the right human with full context. No IVR menus, no hold music.

Can AI agents integrate with my existing CRM?

Yes. Edison’s AI agents are CRM-native. They pull live data, update records, log interactions, create new records, and trigger workflows — all in real time within your existing system.

What happens when the AI can’t handle a query?

Every Edison AI agent has human handoff built in. When a query exceeds the agent’s scope, it transfers to a human with full context — the caller never has to repeat themselves.

How much do AI agents cost?

Simply AI Agents are £10 per agent per month plus a Basic Licence (£10/extension/mo) and 12.5p per minute usage. Bespoke AI agents are priced on request.

Is AI suitable for my small business?

If your business handles routine inbound calls, manages contract renewals, or needs to chase payments — AI agents can automate 80% of that work. Edison starts with a pilot to prove ROI before scaling.
