We help UK teams design, build and run AI systems using the right models and infrastructure for the job — Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, or your own servers. From your first automation to a full AI-native operating model, we make the plan practical and the delivery boring.
Built on and certified in
We're the team you call when the AI pilot works in a demo but you don't know how to safely put it in front of customers.
We put guardrails on data, model access, and human review before a single prompt reaches production.
Azure-native architectures your finance team can read and your engineers can operate at 3am.
Every engagement is scoped to a measurable business outcome — not a shelf of unused pilots.
Each service can stand alone or plug into a broader engagement. All of them share the same delivery discipline: outcomes named, risks known, work shipped in fortnightly increments.
Take repetitive work off human plates. We ship agents, RPA and Power Automate flows that finish tickets, not just create them.
Grounded, private assistants that answer from your data — inside Teams, your web app, or the tools your team already lives in.
Well-Architected Azure landing zones, migrations and platform engineering — with cost controls that survive quarter close.
Defensive security aligned to Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001 and NCSC guidance — with practical response, not fear.
Ongoing expert counsel for boards, founders and CIOs. Roadmaps, vendor selection, and the hard build-vs-buy calls.
Alongside our services, we run two productised offerings — for teams that want a fixed price and no procurement gymnastics.
Your production AI apps, on our operating table.
We host, monitor and evolve the AI apps we build for you. Fixed monthly cost, incident response inside an hour, model & dependency upgrades handled.
Ready-to-deploy AI workflows for common back-office pain.
Pre-built, source-available automations — accounts payable, sales handovers, inbox triage. We install them in your Azure tenant so your data never leaves.
Same rhythm from a 6-week automation to a 6-month platform rebuild. Each phase has a named deliverable and a ‘stop or continue' gate.
Two-week discovery: value map, data audit, risk register, and a costed plan you can take to your board.
Architecture, security posture, evaluation strategy. Nothing is built until the failure modes are named.
Ship in fortnightly increments. Each release has metrics, tests, and a rollback plan — no exceptions.
We run it, monitor it, and evolve it. Or we hand it over to your team with a runbook that reads like prose.
We're most useful to teams where 'move fast and break things' isn't an option. Six industries we've delivered in multiple times.
KYC automation, advisor copilots, regulated-data RAG.
Clinician assistants, coding & summarisation, safe patient data.
Matter intake, contract review, structured extraction.
Ops assistants, forecasting, supplier automations.
Merchandising copilots, service deflection, dynamic content.
Citizen-safe assistants, admin automation, secure Azure landing zones.
A handful of anonymised, board-approved case studies. Full write-ups on request under NDA.
Replaced a 14-step claims triage with a Copilot Studio agent that reads policy PDFs and drafts the adjuster's opening letter.
Structured summaries generated inside the trust's Azure tenant, with clinician review before anything reaches the patient record.
Migrated to a hub-and-spoke landing zone, introduced pull-based cost budgets, and set up Sentinel — all in nine weeks.
Three quotes we've been given permission to publish. Longer references available on request.
“Cloudpilar took our AI adoption from board slide to production in a quarter. What surprised me was how much of the work was governance we didn't know we needed.”
“Genuinely the least dramatic technical delivery we've had. They built it, wrote the runbook, and left us in a better position than they found us.”
“Clinicians actually use it. That's the highest bar I know of, and Cloudpilar cleared it by taking the time to sit with the ward first.”
We're Microsoft-certified and go deep on Azure. When something else is genuinely the right answer, we say so.
What we sign up to on every engagement, from a two-person prototype to a multi-tenant rebuild.
Our engagements and internal controls follow the NCSC Cyber Essentials scheme.
Data stays in UK South by default. DPAs signed before kick-off; DPIAs supported.
Documented ISMS-style controls; happy to be audited against your customer's requirements.
Certified professionals across Azure, Data & AI, and Security — validated by Microsoft.
Cloudpilar Limited was founded to answer one question honestly: how do UK organisations use AI without regretting it in two years? We stay small on purpose, work in senior pairs, and refuse the projects we don't think we can land.
The two rules: don't ship what you can't operate, and don't recommend what you wouldn't run yourself. It's why our clients call us back — and why our engagements have a habit of turning into long-running partnerships.
“The best AI project is the one your team can still run once we've left.”
Pick the model that matches where you are. Move between them without a re-pitch.
Fractional CTO / AI counsel for founders and CIOs. Weekly sessions, async on demand.
Discovery through delivery of a named outcome. Fixed scope, fixed price, fortnightly demos.
We run the AI apps we built for you. Monitoring, upgrades, incident response, evolution.
If yours isn't here, ask us directly — we prefer honest answers over marketing copy.
It stays in your Azure tenant, in UK South, by default. Where OpenAI models are used, we default to the Azure OpenAI Service with the abuse-monitoring opt-out and private endpoints — nothing leaves your tenancy unless you explicitly ask it to.
Practical, unhyped notes on how we build AI systems that survive contact with the real world.
30 minutes. No slideware. Bring the problem — we'll tell you honestly whether AI is the right tool, and what a first, useful step looks like.
