> techaine ("Technology on «Caffeine»") helps small and mid-sized European businesses use AI and automation: automations, AI agents, AI search optimisation, custom apps and private AI. Contact: office@techaine.com.

## Services
- [Automation for small businesses: let the boring work go](https://techaine.com/services/automation): techaine automates repetitive work for small businesses: we take the tasks you do by hand every day (copying data, sending emails, issuing invoices) and hand them to software that does them on its own, without mistakes.
- [AI for small businesses: rollout, training and ground rules](https://techaine.com/services/ai-for-business): techaine helps small businesses use artificial intelligence in everyday work: we find where it genuinely helps, set up the right tools, teach your team to use them and agree clear rules for your data.
- [AI agents for small businesses: a digital employee 24/7](https://techaine.com/services/ai-agents): techaine builds AI agents for small businesses: software that reads customer messages, understands what people want, looks up the information in your systems and finishes the job, for example replying, logging the order or booking a meeting.
- [AI SEO: get recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google](https://techaine.com/services/ai-seo): techaine makes small businesses visible in AI assistant answers (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews): we organise the information on your site so an AI can read it, understand it and cite it when someone looks for what you sell.
- [Custom apps, CRM and ERP built around your business](https://techaine.com/services/custom-apps): techaine builds software tailored to your business (CRMs, management systems, portals and integrations between tools) when off-the-shelf software forces you to work by its rules.
- [Private AI: artificial intelligence on your own server](https://techaine.com/services/private-ai): techaine installs artificial intelligence that runs on your company's server or on a private server in the EU, so documents and customer data never leave for a public AI service.

## Guides
- [How to automate my small business: a plain-English guide](https://techaine.com/guides/how-to-automate-small-business): To automate your business, spend a week noting what you do by hand, pick one repetitive task and hand it to software. techaine helps you pick the right task and automate it in 1-3 weeks.
- [How much does a chatbot cost for a small business in 2026](https://techaine.com/guides/chatbot-cost-small-business): A simple off-the-shelf chatbot costs a few dozen euros a month but only answers from fixed texts. A custom AI agent connected to your systems costs more but actually does work in place of a person. techaine tells you honestly which one you need.
- [How to get recommended by ChatGPT and Google's AI answers](https://techaine.com/guides/get-recommended-by-chatgpt): To be recommended by ChatGPT, your site must answer customer questions clearly, carry structured data, let AI crawlers read it and be mentioned elsewhere. techaine does all of this for small businesses.
