Daio

Daio is an AI consultancy and build partner for independent UK PR and marketing agencies with 15 to 50 staff. Most of these agencies already use AI every day, but nobody owns it: there is no playbook, the policy isn't checked and the hours saved don't show up in the margin.

We start with a fixed-price audit. In ten days we look at how the team actually works, rate five to ten opportunities by the margin they would recover, and deliver a 90-day roadmap, an internal AI usage policy fitted to the agency and a client-facing AI transparency statement. If the audit finds nothing worth building, we say so.

Then we build the highest-value tool in six weeks, inside the agency's own accounts, and document it so the team can run it without us. Every recommendation carries a projected monthly run-cost. An optional retainer covers rollout, training, upkeep and governance.

We are model-agnostic across Claude, OpenAI and Gemini, work under NDA as standard and keep client material off our own systems.

Daio is run by Dan O'Sullivan, a former Teach First science teacher who was the first employee and COO of an education startup later acquired by Roblox, and Commercial Director at an a16z-backed game studio. Daio is the trading name of LAA Pacific Ltd, based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire.
