We help businesses
put AI to work.
Practical training, better websites, and marketing that gets you found. We are a team of specialists in Shaftesbury, Dorset, working with businesses across the UK.
Most business owners we meet know AI is changing how they market and sell. They just do not have the time to work out what it means for them, or how to use it without a computer science degree.
That is where we start. We explain it in plain English and help your team use it with confidence. When your website needs improving, we design and build it with your customers and your search visibility in mind. We connect your data so your marketing decisions come from real numbers, and we find the everyday jobs AI can take off your plate.
Start with the part you need help with. We can work on one problem or bring the pieces together.
What we actually do.
Okapi & Co is an AI-first digital marketing and web development agency. We teach, design, build and implement, and stay involved when you need ongoing support. Most clients start wherever the need is greatest: an AI workshop, a website rebuild, SEO so customers can find them, or a retained team to run their marketing.

Workshops and private team training on Claude and ChatGPT, in plain English. We help your team use AI on their actual work, then build it into how the work gets done. AI training

Some of the work.
Every figure here is one we can show you the working for.
| Sector | The job | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Agriculture | Field workers were writing hours on paper and the office re-typed them every week. We built a time-keeping app for their phones, then the field sales app their own build had stalled on. Read the case study | Six hours a week of admin removed |
| B2B technology | Force Technologies had no in-house marketing team. We became one: retained SEO, content, LinkedIn and podcast production, working inside their business. Read the case study | 5 content channels running |
| Recruitment | CNC Recruitment had almost no digital presence. We built the search and LinkedIn authority that now brings candidates and clients to them. Read the case study | 300+ LinkedIn followers built |
Who we work with.
From a skincare maker and an electronics specialist to a law firm, architects, recruiters, four market towns and a café.
Some work does not come with a logo we are allowed to show. We trained the communications team at an NHS hospital trust to use Microsoft Copilot in their day to day work. Read what we covered.

“The course was excellent, and we came away with an audit report on our website which has given us a roadmap for future improvements. Jim certainly gave us a lot of great information about the role of AI as it relates to our website, and how we should be using it.”

We put AI into the processes behind the work: checking websites for problems, preparing research that helps sales teams have better conversations, and bringing marketing data together without someone rebuilding a spreadsheet every week.
Once the information is connected, it gets easier to explore. Ask a question about a report, look into a change, and understand what actually needs attention.
For content, real people still matter. Their knowledge, explanations and experience give customers something useful to connect with. We use AI to remove the repetitive work around writing, not to replace the person who knows the subject.
This is how we run Okapi & Co ourselves, which is also why we can be specific with you about what works and what does not.
We make the videos too.
Interviews, explainers and podcast series for clients who want their expertise on camera rather than only on the page. We plan, film, edit and publish them.

Not sure which training you need?
Five short questions about your team and what you want to get done, and we will point you at the workshop or the private session that fits. No email address required.
Could you build this yourself?
Some of it, yes. Tools such as Claude Code have made it much easier to build and experiment, and our workshops exist to help you do exactly that.
The harder part is knowing which approach fits your business, what needs checking, and how to keep everything working after launch. We bring the experience of having tested different approaches and dealt with the details that are easy to miss.
You can learn to do more yourself, ask us to build it, or combine the two.
We handle the AI.
You get back to what you love.
Tell us what you are stuck on, whether that is being found, a process that eats your week, or getting your team confident with AI. We will tell you straight whether we can help.
