WhatsApp AI Operations Centre

Multi-channel Bot + Infrastructure Automation

Built an AI agent that manages an entire server fleet via WhatsApp messages. The bot monitors 15+ Docker containers, auto-deploys code from GitHub, runs health checks, dispatches developer sub-agents for coding tasks, and escalates issues — all through natural language on a phone. Multi-model architecture with automatic failover from cloud LLMs to local open-source models.

AI Property Intelligence Platform

LLM Data Extraction + Scoring Engine

Real estate intelligence system that scrapes property listings, extracts structured data using LLMs (size, features, pricing signals), analyses floorplan images, and scores each property against custom investment criteria. Processes 900+ properties with AI-enhanced scoring, user feedback loops, and automated batch re-evaluation when models improve.

AI Video Intelligence Pipeline

Automated Content Processing + Knowledge Base

Automated pipeline that watches a folder for new video files, transcribes them with AI, extracts key insights and action items, and syncs everything to a Notion knowledge base. Turns hours of video content into searchable, structured intelligence — automatically. Built with a watch-process-store architecture and PostgreSQL for persistent state.

Realtime Speech API Platform

Self-hosted neural TTS infrastructure

Self-hosted speech synthesis service that a client runs inside their own product. We built and operate the infrastructure: a Flask API serving neural TTS in real time, custom model caching, a persistent model store, accent-training pipelines, Dockerised deploys and health monitoring. The client owns the models and everything the service outputs.

Automated Refund & Fraud Detection

Multi-gateway Payment Processing

Refund management system for a marketplace with 29,000+ orders. Connects to GCP MySQL, processes refunds across three payment gateways (PagarMe, PayPal, PicPay), detects fraud patterns like serial refunders, and provides admin dashboards accessible via API. Reduced manual refund processing from hours to minutes.

AI Research Synthesis Pipeline

Automated Knowledge Synthesis

Bridge service that programmatically creates research notebooks, feeds them source material, and generates structured reports, summaries and quizzes from any collection of documents. Turns raw papers and articles into briefing material automatically. Used for market research, competitive analysis and internal training material.

Featured Capability

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)

People aren't just Googling anymore — they are asking ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. If your business isn't structured for LLMs to read, you don't exist in the AI era.

We build specialized AEO honeypots (llms.txt, AI-optimized schemas) that feed facts directly to Answer Engines so you get cited as the authority.

About

About 1real.ai

A small AI implementation studio. We build AI systems that run in production, not slide decks.

The founding team

1real.ai is run by its founding team: engineering leadership with 10 years building payment, fraud and banking systems in London and São Paulo, including Itaú Unibanco and TownSq, and the former CTO of 1Recado, where the systems shown above run today.

The company

1REAL LTD, registered in England and Wales (Companies House 17124025), based in London. In Brazil we operate through 1REC LTDA (CNPJ 34.424.334/0001-04). We work directly with founders and operators, from first call to a system running in production.

Clients

1Recado (Brazil): personalised celebrity video marketplace. We built and run its WhatsApp AI operations centre, refund and fraud detection, video processing pipeline and cloud infrastructure. More client references available on request.

What we will run on Azure

  • ✓ AI agents for customer support and operations (Azure OpenAI)
  • ✓ LLM pipelines: RAG, document and video processing
  • ✓ The AEO Scan product and its crawlers
  • ✓ Data pipelines and analytics for client projects

FAQ

Common questions about AI implementation

What does an AI implementation consultant do?
An AI implementation consultant takes AI from concept to production. Unlike strategy consultants who deliver slide decks, an implementation studio like 1real.ai builds working systems: we connect large language models to your business data, deploy multi-channel bots that talk to customers via WhatsApp or web chat, build automated data pipelines that process documents and media, and set up the infrastructure so everything runs reliably 24/7. Based in London, we handle the full stack — from prompt engineering to Docker containers to monitoring dashboards.
How much does AI integration cost for a small business?
AI integration costs vary based on complexity. A basic chatbot or automation workflow typically starts around £2,000-5,000. A full multi-channel AI agent with custom integrations runs £5,000-15,000. Enterprise data pipelines and infrastructure projects range from £10,000-30,000+. We offer a free discovery call to scope your project and provide a fixed-price quote. Many small businesses in London start with a single automation that pays for itself within weeks through time savings.
What's the difference between AI consulting and AI implementation?
AI consulting typically delivers strategy documents, feasibility studies, and recommendations. AI implementation delivers working software. At 1real.ai, we are an implementation studio — we write code, deploy containers, connect APIs, and hand you a running system. Our deliverable is not a PDF, it's a production application. We do include strategic guidance, but the end result is always a system you can use immediately.
How long does it take to implement AI in a business?
Most AI implementations take 2-8 weeks from kickoff to production. Simple automations (document processing, basic chatbots) can be live in 1-2 weeks. Multi-channel AI agents with custom integrations take 3-4 weeks. Complex data pipelines with multiple AI models take 4-8 weeks. We use a rapid deployment approach: we get a working prototype in front of you within the first week, then iterate based on real usage data.
What industries benefit most from AI automation?
Any industry with repetitive knowledge work benefits from AI automation. We've implemented AI systems for e-commerce (automated customer service and refund processing), real estate (AI-powered property analysis and scoring), media production (automated video transcription and insight extraction), and professional services (research automation and report generation). The common thread: businesses drowning in data, documents, or customer queries that AI can process faster and more consistently than manual work.
Can AI replace my customer service team?
AI doesn't replace your team — it handles the repetitive 80% so your team can focus on the complex 20%. A well-built AI agent can answer common questions, process standard requests, and route complex issues to the right person — all via WhatsApp, web chat, or email. Our London clients typically see 60-80% of routine queries handled automatically, freeing their team for high-value conversations.
Do you use open-source or proprietary AI models?
We use both, depending on the use case. For most business applications, we integrate leading proprietary models (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini) for superior reasoning. For cost-sensitive or privacy-critical workloads, we deploy open-source models (Llama, Qwen, Mistral) on your own infrastructure so data never leaves your servers. Many of our production systems use a multi-model architecture: a primary cloud model for quality, with a local open-source fallback for resilience.
