AI Solutions for Small & Medium Businesses

AI automation, custom agents and rapid prototyping for SMEs - designed and built on the Central Coast and in Newcastle by the team behind TeamRelay

Practical AI, Built to Ship

Digital Nomad Studio is a software studio and AI agency based on the Central Coast and in Newcastle. We work with small and medium businesses across Australia to put AI to work on real problems: the admin that eats up staff time, the enquiries that wait too long for an answer, the products that need smarter features, and the ideas that deserve a working prototype before anyone commits to a full build.

We are builders first, and the clearest way to show what we mean by practical AI is what we have already built. TeamRelay runs real-time speech translation entirely on the phone, with no internet connection. PropertyBuyWise reads building, pest and strata reports and pulls out the risks that matter. Marco, the assistant on this site, answers questions about our work and takes enquiries. That is the approach we bring to your problem: start small, prove it on your real data, then build properly.

AI Rapid Prototyping

The fastest way to find out what AI can do for your business is to see it working on your own data. Our rapid prototyping engagement takes one clearly defined problem - a quoting process, an overflowing inbox, a pile of documents, a product idea - and turns it into a working prototype in two to three weeks. You see real results, we both learn what it takes to run it properly, and you decide about a full build with evidence instead of a slide deck.

What you get

  • A short discovery session to agree the one question the prototype must answer
  • A working prototype built on your real data and real examples, not mock-ups
  • Honest measurement of quality, cost and speed, and what it would take to run day to day
  • A clear recommendation and roadmap - build, adjust or stop - with no obligation to continue

AI Automation & Custom Agents

Most small and medium businesses have work that is repetitive, rules-based and still done by hand: quoting and invoicing, triaging inboxes, reading and summarising documents, re-keying data between systems, drafting routine responses. We build AI automation and agents that take on that work reliably, connect to the tools you already use, and hand over to a person when judgement is needed.

What we build

  • Quote and invoice preparation - from a voice note, photo or email to a draft ready to send
  • Document intake and extraction - read forms, reports, and emails, pull out what matters, and file it where it belongs
  • Inbox and request triage - classify, prioritise, and route incoming work with suggested responses
  • Knowledge assistants - answer staff or customer questions from your own documents and policies

AI Features in Existing Products

You do not need to rebuild your product to make it smarter. We add well-scoped AI capabilities to software you already run - web, mobile, or internal tools - and integrate them cleanly with your existing data, sign-in, and design. Where privacy or connectivity matters, we can run models on the device itself, as we do in TeamRelay.

What this can add

  • Natural-language search and question answering over your own content
  • Summarisation of long documents, threads, and reports
  • Real-time speech-to-text and translation, as we built into TeamRelay
  • In-app assistants that guide users through your existing workflows

When It Needs to Be a Product

Sometimes a prototype proves its value and the answer is a product in its own right: an app your crews carry, a portal your customers sign in to, a tool that replaces the spreadsheet. We design and build those end to end, with the AI built in from the start rather than bolted on afterwards. TeamRelay and MatchTagr are on the App Store today, and Touchline HQ, 4thebadge and PropertyBuyWise run as web products.

Our Software Development page covers that side of the studio in full: iOS and mobile apps, SaaS products and customer portals, and internal tools and dashboards.

Who We Help

We work with small and medium businesses across Australia - typically teams of two to two hundred who have plenty of work and no IT department. These are the sectors we know best.

Trades & Construction

Quoting, invoicing, compliance paperwork and job updates. Plenty of it is repetitive, and some of it is worth handing to software.

Professional Services

Accountants, lawyers, consultants and agencies, where most of the work arrives as documents and most of the admin is reading them.

Sports Clubs & Associations

Registrations, fixtures, rosters and member communication. We know this world well - we built TeamRelay and Touchline HQ for it.

How We Work

The same staged approach we use for the apps we publish: a rapid prototype first, then a full build only if the results warrant it. You see progress early and make decisions with confidence.

1

Discover

We map the workflow, the data, and what a good result looks like, and agree a clear scope for the first stage.

2

Prototype

A working version on your real data, usually within two to three weeks, so you see what the technology actually does for you before building more.

3

Build

We integrate with your systems, add the guardrails and testing it needs, and prepare it for everyday use.

4

Run and Improve

We launch it, watch how it performs, and refine it as your needs change. Support stays with the people who built it.

Why Work With Us

  • We ship - TeamRelay's on-device, real-time translation is on the App Store today, built by the same people you will work with
  • More than 30 years of combined engineering and business analysis - we understand the workflow before we automate it
  • Small by design - you deal directly with the people writing the code
  • Practical over fashionable - we recommend AI where it earns its place, and say so when a simpler solution will do
  • Privacy-conscious - on-device options when your data should not leave the phone, as in TeamRelay

Have a Project in Mind?

Tell us about the process you want to automate, the idea you want to prototype, or the product you want to build. Marco, our AI assistant, can help you describe it, or use the project form. Either way, we'll get back to you within two business days for a no-obligation conversation.
