The real cost of admin when AI could help

Smart, capable people drowning in admin that isn't the work they started their business to do. Invoices at the kitchen table at 9pm. Site reports that take half your day. Quoting, delivering, and trying to get paid, all while your phone keeps going and your inbox fills up with things that needed a reply yesterday.

Then AI happened. I hear a different version of the same problem every week:

"Everyone's talking about it
but I don't get it."

"I feel like I'm falling behind."

"There's a new tool every day and I can't keep up."

You don't need 15 fancy tools. Sometimes it's one or two new ones that fit. Sometimes it's just getting your existing systems properly connected. That's exactly what the consultation is for. In 60 minutes, we go through your tools and systems, work out what's costing you time, and map out what to do about it.

That's what Ludora is here for. We're an AI consulting service for trades, construction, and professional services businesses in Australia. One conversation to work out where AI fits in your business, what tools make sense, and what to tackle first.

Let's put a number on it.

What you get from your free AI consultation

Here's what you walk away with:

A clear picture of how your business runs today.

We map your tools, your workflows, and how everything connects. You'll see exactly where the time is going, what's disconnected, and what's creating extra work you don't need to be doing.

A prioritised roadmap you can act on.

What to fix first, what tools to keep or drop, and where AI and automation fit in. Step by step. Ready to go.

Options for what comes next.

Some people take the plan and run with it. Others want help setting things up, hands-on training for their team, or regular check-ins to keep things on track. We'll talk through what makes sense for you.

AI won't fix everything. But it can take the most repetitive, time-consuming parts of your week and make them faster. That's where we start.

A plan. Not a pitch.

A consultation like this normally costs $900.
This month, I'm giving 10 away for free.

One per business. Australian trades, construction, and professional services. No strings.
You walk away with a real plan either way.

How AI consulting works, step by step

1

Book your free call.

No credit card. No commitment. Pick a time that suits you and you're in.

Before the call

2

Tell us about your business.

You'll receive an assessment form via email. We'll ask about your business, your current systems, where you feel you're losing time, and what's not working the way it should. Things like what you're using for quoting, invoicing, job management, scheduling, and communication. Whether that's a handful of apps, a combination of spreadsheets and emails, or something in between. The more we know, the more useful the plan.

3

We audit your systems and build your plan.

Based on everything you've shared, we find the admin that doesn't need to be manual and the growth work that AI can start doing for you. We put together a practical plan with priorities to tackle first and 3–5 quick wins you can get started on straight away.

4

Get a real, actionable plan to save you time and grow your business with AI.

The 60 minutes is spent reviewing your plan, not discovering the problems. We go through the assessment, walk you through the priorities, and give you practical solutions you can act on straight away.

Founder of Ludora AI consulting, Melbourne

I'm Margaux. 15 years helping businesses adopt new solutions to grow.

13 years ago, I moved to Australia from France for a holiday. One month turned into thirteen years. Melbourne became home.

Most importantly, I spent the last six years at Xero as a product marketing leader, managing a product portfolio worth over A$400 million. My job was understanding how small businesses operate so we could build products that offer more value to their day-to-day and reduce the admin so they could focus on what matters.

That meant talking to small business owners every single day. Helping them find the right tools, cut the busywork, and get their time back.

Everyone was telling them to use AI. Nobody was showing them how.

So I started Ludora. My mission is to help small business owners get started with AI, stop feeling overwhelmed and left behind, and make AI accessible to everyone.

I'm a small business owner too, and I use these tools to run my own business every day. I know what works because I test everything on myself first.

When I'm not mapping out systems and workflows, you'll find me bouldering or chasing after my two toddler boys.

AI consulting FAQ — questions I get most often

Before the call, you'll fill out an assessment form about your business, your systems, and where you feel you're losing time. I use that to audit your setup and build a plan before we even get on the call. The 60 minutes is spent reviewing your plan, walking through the priorities, and giving you practical solutions you can act on straight away.

Trades, construction, and professional services are where I spend most of my time because I know those industries well. But the approach works for any small business owner who's buried in admin and wants to figure out where AI can actually help.

Not a thing. Most people I work with haven't used AI beyond a quick look at ChatGPT. That's completely fine. I'll meet you where you are.

Even better. We'll look at what's working, what isn't, and where there are gaps. Sometimes the tools you already have just need to be set up properly or connected to each other.

It depends on what you need. Some people take the plan and run with it on their own. Others want help with setup, training, or regular check-ins. I'll always talk through your options and you decide what makes sense. Regardless, I'm always a phone call away.

It takes the repetitive stuff off your plate. Writing up quotes, chasing invoices, replying to the same enquiries over and over, pulling reports, drafting emails. The kind of admin that eats your evening and doesn't actually need a human doing it. How many hours that saves depends on your business. For some people it's a few hours a week. For others it's a full day. That's what we work out together.

Mostly the ones you've already heard of. ChatGPT and Claude for writing quotes, emails, site reports, scope of works, even customer replies. Then tools like Zapier or Make to connect your systems so information flows between them without you copying and pasting. The right combination depends on how your business actually runs. That's what the consultation is for.

I look at how your business runs today. Your tools, your workflows, where your time is going. Then I work out where AI and automation can make a real difference. At Ludora, that means a 60-minute consultation where you walk away with a prioritised plan. What to fix first, which tools to use, where to start. Not a pitch for more software. A plan that fits how you work.

Your plan is one conversation away. Let's talk.

Pick a time that works for you. 10 free spots this month. One per business. Usually $900.
