Our products

Two service lines.
One operating principle.

Every agent is built to take on a specific category of repetitive operational work and hand control back to a human at every important decision.

Accounting
Line

Finance admin is where Australian SMEs lose the most invisible hours. Supplier invoices, statements, reminders and accountant queries pile up in an inbox, then get manually re-typed into accounting software by someone who was hired for something far more valuable.

The Accounting Line starts with the Accounts Inbox Agent: one focused workflow, deployed into the part of the business that hurts most first.

Accounting · Accounts Inbox Agent
Inbox Agent
Turn your accounts inbox into organised draft bills and a clean handoff.
Supplier invoices, statements, reminders, receipts and accountant queries flow through the agent, classified by type, validated against finance-grade rules, and turned into draft bills in your accounting system. Exceptions route to your team. Every action is logged. Nothing posts without a human approving it first.
  • Classifies every incoming email and attachment by document type
  • Extracts only the fields needed, with confidence scoring on each
  • Runs duplicate, GST and supplier validation before any draft is created
  • Creates draft bills with source documents attached
  • Routes exceptions to your team with a clear reason for each flag
  • Full audit trail: source, extracted values, validation result, human decision
You approve every posting. No autonomous actions.

Business Growth
Line

Finding good leads, writing personal outreach and staying on top of inbound calls are the activities that drive growth in every SME. They are also the activities most likely to be inconsistent, delayed or dropped when the business gets busy.

The Business Growth Line gives you three agents built to handle each stage of the development cycle, with a human reviewing and approving every output before it reaches a prospect.

Growth · Lead Research
Scout
High-fit leads, ranked and explained in your business language.
Tell Scout what a good lead looks like in plain English. It gathers candidates from business directories, the public web and business data sources, then enriches each one with the signals that matter: industry, size, the tools they use, the right decision-maker. Every candidate is scored against your criteria by AI that weighs all of those signals together and writes a short rationale for every match. You get a ranked shortlist of prospects where your chance of success and ROI is highest, not a long list of cold names.
  • Pulls from directories, the public web and business data sources
  • Each candidate enriched with industry, size, tool and decision-maker signals
  • AI weighs every signal against your criteria, with reasoning for every match
  • Filters out poor-fit prospects before they reach your pipeline
  • Exports to your CRM after you approve
You approve every lead added.
Growth · Outreach
Pitch
Personal first messages in your voice, not a template.
Show Pitch a handful of emails you have already written and it learns how you sound: your phrasing, your sentence rhythm, the level of small talk you are comfortable with. For each approved lead, it reads the research already gathered and drafts a short, specific message referencing something real about that business, never a generic opener. Drafts land in your inbox to review and send. Follow-ups are timed and queued, and the moment someone replies the sequence pauses automatically.
  • Learns your voice from sample emails you supply
  • Reads each lead's research before drafting: company, role, the trigger that flagged them
  • One specific, business-relevant reference per message, never templated
  • Email and LinkedIn note drafted together; follow-ups timed and queued
  • Detects replies, bounces and out-of-office; pauses the sequence automatically
Nothing leaves your inbox without you sending it.
Growth · Inbound Calls
Bell
Never miss another call, even after hours.
Bell picks up in your business voice and figures out what the caller needs. It checks your CRM as the call connects, so returning callers get a contextual greeting rather than a cold intake, and then either answers common questions from your approved knowledge base, books a demo straight into your calendar, escalates an urgent matter to you in real time, or takes a clean message. After every call you get a one-paragraph summary: who called, what they wanted, what was promised, what happens next.
  • Picks up in your brand voice, around the clock
  • Checks your CRM on connect; returning callers get a contextual greeting
  • Figures out what each caller needs: info, demo, urgent client, supplier, other
  • Books meetings to your calendar; escalates urgent matters in seconds
  • One-paragraph written summary after every call, logged to your CRM
Never improvises. Answers only from your approved knowledge base.
Our approach

Automation that keeps
you in control.

Most AI tools ask you to trust the output. We built ours so you do not have to: every agent prepares, validates and drafts. You decide what actually happens.

YOU
PREPARE
VALIDATE
DRAFT
REVIEW
Agents prepare, never execute Every agent gets the work to a ready-to-act state (draft bill, draft message, ranked shortlist) and stops. The action itself stays with you.
Low confidence routes to humans When the agent is not sure, it does not guess. Ambiguous extractions, edge cases and risky decisions surface as exceptions for a human to handle.
Every action is auditable Source document, extracted values, validation results, human decision, timestamp. You can review what happened and why at any point.
The agent learns from you Each review and edit teaches the agent your preferences. Over time, more of the work clears without changes, but the approval gate stays.

Dr Maria Khan
Strategic Advisor
Research-led perspective on how AI and technology actually change the way SMEs work.
Maria is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Work and Regulation at QUT Business School, based at the Centre for Decent Work and Industry. Her research examines how digital technologies, artificial intelligence, and platform systems reshape work, employment relations, and the way people are heard inside an organisation. She holds a PhD from Griffith University, a Master of Science from the Alliance Manchester Business School, and Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (UK). Her recent publications include studies of AI-enabled inclusion at work and the role of digital tools in organisational voice systems, and she is part of an interdisciplinary team examining the implementation of AI in healthcare through an NHMRC-funded project. Her work has been recognised with an Australian Research Council Discovery Grant for The Voice Gap: Employee Voice Under Threat in a Changing World of Work.
As Strategic Advisor to Clerq AI, Maria brings an evidence-based lens on how AI lands inside an SME: what genuinely creates value, what introduces risk to the people doing the work, and how to introduce automation so it amplifies the team rather than displaces trust in it.
Get started

Sign up for a
pilot.

A focused, time-boxed engagement to prove value on one workflow, in one team, with measurable results. If it works, we keep going. If it does not, you walk away with a workflow map and a clear picture of what would.

Pick one product to start We focus the pilot on a single agent so the value is clear and measurable from week one.
Time-boxed engagement A defined start, a defined end, and a defined definition of success. No open-ended consulting.
Weekly KPI reviews Hours saved, accuracy, throughput and exception rates measured and reported every week.
Human in the loop, throughout The pilot is built and tuned with your team, not delivered to them. By the end, the agent is shaped by the people who use it.
