The jobs that eat
your evenings.
None of this needs doing by you any more.
It’s ten at night and you still haven’t posted on Facebook. Again.
You find out a competitor dropped their prices when a customer tells you.
An enquiry came in at the weekend. You replied Monday. They’d already bought elsewhere.
We design, install and run AI systems.
Four systems, run for you end to end — your only job is approving things from your phone. The studio craft lives at the end of the rail.

That's the whole point. Here's the entire process from your side:
- 1
The audit
We look at your business and hand you a plain-English report: what’s worth automating, what it costs, and what it pays back. Fixed price, no obligation.
$ karn audit --report · 5 working days - 2
We build it
Your systems are designed, installed and tested by us. You don’t touch a line of code, a prompt, or a dashboard.
$ karn install · tested before it touches customers - 3
It runs
The work happens automatically. You approve things from your phone. Every month you get results — in plain English, not analytics-speak.
$ karn run --forever · you: approve from your phone
The honest numbers.
Founding client offer
Karn Media is new — so the first five clients get discounted rates in exchange for an honest, named case study. You get the work cheaper; we get the proof. Fair deal.
AI without the nonsense.
Plain English, always
No jargon, no “leveraging synergies”, no dashboards you’ll never open. If we can’t explain it simply, we don’t sell it.
We run it. You approve it.
This isn’t software you have to learn. We build the machine and keep it running — you tap “approve” on your phone.
Local, not a faceless SaaS
We’re from here, we work with businesses here, and when you call, you get a person who knows your business.
Things people ask us.
Do I need to understand AI to use this?
No — that’s the whole point. We design, build and run everything. Your involvement is a short conversation at the start and a tap to approve things from your phone. If you can use WhatsApp, you’re qualified.
What does it cost?
The AI Kickstart Audit is a fixed price, agreed before we start. Ongoing systems are monthly retainers — you’ll always know the exact number before committing to anything. No surprise invoices, ever.
Will it make my business sound like a robot?
No. Everything is trained on your business, your tone and your way of speaking to customers — and you approve content before it goes out. Most customers can’t tell, and the ones who can just think you’ve hired someone good.
What if the AI gets something wrong?
Anything public — like social posts — goes through your approval first. Behind-the-scenes automations are monitored by us, and we fix issues before most clients notice. You’re never left holding a problem alone.
Is my business data safe?
Yes. We follow UK GDPR, your data is never sold or shared, and we’ll happily explain exactly what each system can and can’t see — in plain English, before you sign anything.
What kind of businesses is this for?
Mostly established small businesses — trades, salons, restaurants, showrooms, clinics — anywhere the owner is doing marketing jobs at night that a machine should be doing instead. If that’s you, the audit will tell you exactly what’s worth automating.
Put AI on the payroll.
A fixed-price audit. A plain-English report. A 30-minute call to walk you through it. No jargon, no pressure, no obligation.
