Where we work

AI and software development in Islington

Augustova builds custom AI systems, websites, web and mobile applications and business automations for companies in Islington and across North London. Fixed price, agreed against a written scope, typically two to four weeks to a working system. We run our own software in production, so the work is done by the people who carry it.

Working in Islington

Islington concentrates design, architecture, media and professional services around Clerkenwell and Angel, with a large independent hospitality sector alongside. Studios here tend to be small, senior and project driven, which makes their reporting burden disproportionate to their size.

Islington concentrates design, architecture, media production and professional services around Clerkenwell and Angel, alongside a large independent hospitality sector. The firms here are typically small, senior and project driven, which produces an unusual pattern: highly paid people spending a significant part of the week on administration that nobody was hired to do.

Project based studios spend a surprising share of the week reporting on projects rather than doing them. That reporting follows rules, which makes it the first thing worth removing.

What we build for Islington businesses

What Islington businesses keep asking us to fix

Senior people doing administration

In a small studio there is no operations team, so project setup, reporting and invoicing land on the same people doing the billable work.

Project reporting on repeat

Every project generates the same status report from the same sources, assembled by hand, usually late in the evening before it is due.

Approvals lost in threads

Client sign off arrives by email or message and lives nowhere. When a dispute happens, reconstructing what was approved and when takes hours.

Questions from Islington businesses

We have no technical staff. Can we maintain what you build?

That is the normal case here and it shapes the handover. You receive documentation, credentials, a runbook and a recorded walkthrough, content stays editable without a developer, and support is agreed in the original document rather than negotiated later.

Can you automate our project reporting?

Usually yes, and it is often the first thing worth doing for a studio. The report is assembled from the same sources every time, which makes it rules based, and turning it into something generated on demand returns billable hours rather than merely saving admin.
