Small, reliable AI automations for teams without an engineering department
I’m Livio Acerbo, a freelance developer based in Essex, England, focused on AI automation. I help small businesses stop copying data between tools, answer the same emails twice, and chase documents by hand.

What I build
AI agents that do one job well. Assistants that read, classify and draft, then hand off to a person for anything that matters.
Workflows that run quietly. Order to invoice, lead to CRM, form to spreadsheet to calendar, without someone pressing buttons every morning.
Integrations that don’t break every month. Clean connections between the tools you already pay for, built on official APIs and documented.
How I work
- Map the process first. A short discovery call, then a written map of how the work actually happens today.
- Automate the boring 80%. Start with the steps that are repetitive, frequent and low-risk.
- Keep a human in the loop. Approvals for anything that sends money, emails customers or deletes data.
- Hand over ownership. You keep the accounts, the keys, the code and the documentation.
What to expect
- A plain-English proposal with scope, timeline and what’s out of scope.
- Weekly updates, short and written.
- Projects that usually take 2–6 weeks, not 6 months.
- Honest advice, including “you don’t need AI for this” when that’s the case.
- No lock-in: if you want to maintain it yourself, I’ll teach your team how.
