AI Consultants in Hampshire: Who They Are and How They Differ
Six providers of AI consulting, automation and training that a small business in the county can use, each described from its own website: where it is based, who it is for, what it offers and how you start. A list, not a ranking.
Four firms say on their own websites that they are based in Hampshire: AI Business Systems and Alliance AI Solutions in Southampton, AI-Optimised in Fleet and Antek Automation in Andover. Dean Keating, who publishes this site, is based in Horndean and offers a free first call on 07418 627304. AI Coach, run by Kasra Dash, has a Hampshire page but does not state where it is based. This is a list, not a ranking.
Read this first
This is a list, not a ranking. Nobody here is scored and nobody is called the best. We have not used any of these firms. What we say about them comes from their own websites, which we read on 10 October 2026. Prices and offers change, so check each site yourself.
Eastleigh.co is published by Dean Keating, who is one of the five. He is listed last in his group and labelled as the publisher.
Based in the county
The firms below are in alphabetical order. The towns differ: two are in Southampton, one is in Fleet and one is in Andover.
AI Business Systems. aibusinesssystems.io gives Southampton as its base. It says it does in-person work across Hampshire and remote work across the UK, and that it is for businesses of up to around 50 staff. It lists workflow automation, AI chatbots, custom AI tools, AI training, monthly retainers and AI-ready websites. You start with a free 30-minute discovery call, then a Quick Start at £197 or an audit from £995, and a fixed quote follows. Its site prints "from" prices of £750 for workflow automation, £1,500 for a chatbot, £3,000 for a custom tool and £149 a month for a care plan.
AI-Optimised. ai-optimised.co.uk says it is a small agency based in Fleet and that you deal with its founders directly. It sells three things: AI chatbots, automated social media content and lead capture. Its pages show plans of £495, £850 and £1,200 to set up, plus £175, £299 and £399 a month, and workflow automation from £1,500. It says it will meet clients in person in Fleet, Farnborough, Aldershot, Basingstoke, Winchester, Southampton and Portsmouth. You start with a free discovery call booked online.
Alliance AI Solutions. alliancesolutions.ai says it is based in Southampton. It lists automations, training workshops and chatbots built on your own information. Its examples are sales automation and a social media agent. It says it works with businesses of all sizes and names sales teams and marketing agencies. It offers a free discovery call and a three-step process of listening, research and then building and testing. We found no prices and no statement about visiting in person on the pages we read. A phone number and email address are on the site.
Antek Automation. antekautomation.com gives an address in Andover. It sells AI voice agents, chatbots, workflow automation and checks of how AI search tools see your business. Its examples of customers are tradespeople, dental practices, restaurants, cleaners, estate agents and solicitors. It prints starting prices: voice agents from £97 a month, chatbots from £57 a month, workflow automation from £250 and the search checks from £247. It says plans run month to month with 30 days' notice, apart from the search work. You start with a free 30-minute call. We found no mention of visits in person.
Covering the county from elsewhere
AI Coach (Kasra Dash). bestaiconsultant.co.uk has a page for this county. It says the work is remote and on site, for small and medium firms, professional services firms and owner-managed businesses. Its list covers internal process automation, marketing automation, team training, competitor research and custom tools. Training runs over Zoom or Google Meet by default, because the recording becomes something the team can replay, with half-day or full-day workshops in person when needed. You start with a free 30-minute call. The page does not say where the business is based, and we found no prices.
Dean Keating (the publisher of this site). Dean Keating is based in Horndean, Hampshire, so he belongs in the group above, but we list him last because he runs this directory. He builds AI agents, installs them in the tools a business already uses and trains the team. His website lists replying to new enquiries, following up leads, sending and chasing quotes, booking jobs, raising invoices and chasing late payments. It also says he can visit businesses in Hampshire or nearby, and that the work is otherwise done remotely. The first call is free and you leave with a plan you can use with or without him. There is no published price list; the cost is given after that call. Call or WhatsApp 07418 627304. Eastleigh businesses may like the guide to choosing an AI consultant in Eastleigh.
How they differ
- Size of job. AI Business Systems says it suits firms up to around 50 staff. AI-Optimised and Antek Automation describe small packages for small firms. AI Coach also names larger SMEs.
- Voice, chat or workflow. Antek Automation leads with voice agents and chatbots. AI-Optimised leads with chatbots, social content and lead capture. Dean Keating and AI Business Systems describe broader workflow builds.
- Advice, training or building. AI Coach and Alliance AI Solutions both list team training. Dean Keating's service is building and installing, with training on what he installs.
- How prices are shown. Three print figures. Alliance AI Solutions, AI Coach and Dean Keating print none.
How to use this list
Choose two or three whose description matches your size and the job you want done. Ask each for the scope and the price in writing, what is included after the install, and what happens if a tool you use changes. All six describe a free first call. For the questions to put to any consultant, see the Eastleigh guide and the Hampshire guide to AI automation.
What we could not check
We have not seen any firm's work, spoken to its clients or tested its prices. We tried to read ShoreAI's website and the page would not load, so it is not listed. Another firm's website, AI Services Hampshire, shows the same phone number as Antek Automation, so we have not listed it separately. If you run an AI consulting firm based in the county and are not here, email dean@deankeating.com and we will read your site and add you on the same terms.
