In their own words. See every result
We're in the property sector. You know, we're not software engineers. We're not able to have our minds in this space 100%. So we decided that we needed to lean on a third party, a specialist in AI.
I could send it 10 CVs of the people that I want to talk to and it goes away and emails them, books in times in my calendar and sends them confirmation of it, details that they need to know and all of that is done while I'm just sitting on my couch, talking to it on my phone, not even typing.
Tom HunterFounderTestimonialWe've decreased our administration costs by 40%, while improving customer service benchmarks by up to 80%.
The early results from the project are incredible. Our admin hours have quartered since working together.
Toby ChilverFounderClient reviewThe consulting process was well executed and I am very happy with the improvements. I highly recommend them to any business.
Edwina HodgkinsonNutritionistClient reviewHourglass AI is the partner you want. Smart, reliable, and genuinely invested in outcomes. Highly recommended.
Jay LittleMarketing and Creative DirectorClient reviewThis was tremendously efficient. All in all, a really great first experience
Robert HonanCEOClient reviewData goes in, a finished Strategy Breakdowns graphic comes out. Right fonts, right purple, right bendy arrows, right everything. They were great to work with, real professionals. If you’re after something similar I’d absolutely recommend talking to them.

What we do, in four stages.
Once a team starts using AI, the same problems show up on nearly every call. The first three stages fix them and lay the foundation. The fourth keeps it all working, month after month.
01Context
Your AI doesn't know your business.
What your company knows sits in inboxes, the CRM, drives, Xero and people's heads. So every chat starts from zero.
“You got stuff here in the CRM. You got stuff here in your emails... And then you got Claude running over here that doesn't capture everything anyway.”
We build your company AI brain.
- Reads everything. Email, CRM, drives and meeting notes, every night.
- Works in your AI. Inside the Claude or ChatGPT your team already uses.
- Keeps permissions. Each person sees only what they can already see.
“The brain has done that in advance, and it's distilled it into information that's just easy to work through.”
02Collaboration
What one person figures out never reaches the rest of the team.
Someone builds a great skill. They share it, it gets copied, and two weeks later there are seven versions that don't match.
“When people are creating documents in Claude, they all look a little bit different and they will sound a little bit different.”
We set up one skills platform for the whole team.
- Everyone has access. Every skill, for every person, inside their own Claude.
- Anyone can improve it. Each skill has an owner, and anyone can suggest an edit.
- One version. Update it once and the whole team has the update.
100% of the Main Sequence team now uses AI every week, from one shared library.

03Command centre
Nobody can see what's running, or whether it works.
Agents built on someone's laptop break quietly. Nobody knows when they last ran, what they did, or which model they should use.
“I can see very quickly we're going to have like 5 or 6 skills that people will be checking separately, each one, just to see if each of it works.”
We give you one screen for every agent.
- Every agent named. What it does, who owns it, and what it ran today.
- Every run logged. When it ran, what it did, and whether it worked.
- The right model. Accuracy checked weekly, on the cheapest model that gets it right.

04Care
It works in week one. By month four, it's broken.
Models change every few weeks, people join and leave, and workflows move. Without someone looking after it, AI quietly stops working.
“This space moves so fast, you need to have someone in your corner.”
We look after it, every month.
- Model upgrades. New models tested and switched in as they ship.
- Fixes. When something breaks, we fix it, usually before you notice.
- Monthly review. What's being used, what isn't, and what to build next.
- Week 1The new agent works. Everyone's impressed.
- Month 2A model update changes how it writes.
- Month 3The person who built it leaves.
- Month 4It quietly stops working. Nobody notices.
- 2 agents upgraded to a newer model, tested before switching
- 1 fix Xero changed a field. Fixed the same morning
- 3 new starters had the brain and every skill on day one
- Accuracy checks 12 run, 12 passed

Once the foundation is in place, three ways we build on it.
Every option starts with the same audit and the same four stages. Most clients start with the first.
Your data never leaves your business.
Everything we build runs on your own servers and your own accounts. We never store your data, you own all of the IP, and if we disappeared tomorrow it would all keep running. It is model-agnostic too: Claude today, whatever wins tomorrow.
See your AI audit before you ever talk to us
Drop in your company website. Our AI reads it and drafts the same report our audit delivers: opportunity matrix, sequenced build order, scoped builds with ROI, and who we’d interview. About 30 seconds, free.
Your team tells us what to build. Literally.
No year-long proof of concept, no strategy deck. Three steps, priced upfront.
“For our team, it's a game changer. ... It used to take forever to put together these docs, so lets us look at more deals.”
- 1
Audit
$2,500 flat7–14 daysWe interview up to 10 of your people. One question runs through every interview: if you could wave a magic wand, what problem would go away? You get a ranked list of what to build, with the hours and dollars on every line.
Go ahead with the build within 30 days of your report and the full $2,500 comes off it.
- 2
Build
$5k–$25k per build2 weeks per buildThe brain and shared skills first, then the work on top. Each build is scoped on a call, quoted as a range, and goes live inside the tools you already use. No migration, no new platform.

Care
~$1,000/month per buildEvery month afterWe look after it so it keeps working. Models change, people join, workflows move. We upgrade, fix and add, and your monthly review shows what's being used and what to build next.
Worried how your team will take it?
We’re outsiders, so people tell us what really takes their time. The interviews are about the work a machine should do, not about anyone’s job, and we give you the words to send round before we start.
Change is scary. Pick people you trust.
AI transformation isn’t a software purchase. It’s a partnership. These are the people who’ll be in your corner.

- Runs audits and team workshops: teams leave buzzing, not bracing
- AI-native builder: shipped her own iOS app with AI tools alone
- The bridge between your team and the build

- Founded Speak Savvy: AI voice agents answering calls for small businesses
- Built online e-commerce at Vario: coding since age 10
- Builds the brains: company memory and agent infrastructure
You’d ask us these on the call anyway
Every question below is a real question from a real discovery call. So here are the answers, upfront.
Sensible instinct. Everything we build runs on your own servers and accounts, ring-fenced per person using your existing permissions: payroll stays with payroll. Nothing sits with us, and if we disappeared tomorrow it would all keep running. No AI policy yet? We write it with you first, so your whole team knows what they can and can't plug in.
