About Squidgy

Turn what you know into AI that works for you.

Describe the problem you solve and ACE builds the agent. Then we help you take it to market and list it on the Squidgy marketplace, so others with the same problem can use it. No code, no tech team.

AI isn't your advantage. You are.
How it works

From what you know to something that works for you

1

Build it.

Describe the problem you solve in plain English. ACE builds an agent that does the task, not a chatbot that tells you how. You approve it and test it before anything goes live.

2

Take it to market.

Anyone can build an agent now. Getting it in front of people is the hard part, and that is where we help. Our AI mates can help with your positioning, a page, content and launch emails.

3

List it.

Put it on the Squidgy marketplace so others with the same problem can use what you have built. Your agent can become a source of passive income.

AI doesn't replace what you know. It amplifies it. You bring the expertise. The agent does the work. Nothing goes out without your approval.

We're in soft launch, so the product works but some things are still being finished.

Mission

Our mission

Give every business access to the AI workforce they deserve. Not just the ones that can afford an agency.

How we do it

Put AI in the hands of people who know the problem, so every business gets help that actually works.

What it means for you

Turn what you know into AI that works for you. For the people who use it and the people who build it.

Why it matters

Most businesses don't fail because the people running them aren't good enough. They fail because running a business is relentless. The best technology doesn't replace people. It removes the stuff that stops people from doing their best work.

Vision

Our vision

A world where what people know becomes AI that works for them, and for everyone with the same problem.

The most useful AI will not come from agents built centrally. It will come from coaches, consultants, operators and creators who have lived the problem. We are building the platform where they can build it, take it to market and share it.

Our story

How we got here

  1. April 2024

    Squidgy begins as AI teammates for small and medium businesses that lack the resources to do everything themselves. We built the first agents ourselves to prove it could work.

  2. The shift

    Once ACE, our agent builder, existed, we moved to a bigger idea. Instead of building every agent ourselves, let experts build their own.

  3. Today

    ACE lets you build an agent from what you know. We help you take it to market and list it on the Squidgy marketplace. We are in soft launch, so the product works, but some things are not finished and we will say so.

  4. Still live

    Ready-made AI mates for small businesses, such as Sophia for social media, Nula for newsletters and Blake for blogs.

Values

What we stand for

Human in control. Always.

AI does the work. You make the calls. Nothing goes out without your approval.

Practical beats impressive.

If a simpler approach solves the problem better, that is what we build.

Honest about what we can do today.

We are building. Some things are not ready yet, and we will say so.

Built by people who have lived the problem.

We don't parachute in and pretend to understand an industry.

No slop. Ever.

Squidgy exists to solve generic AI content, not add to it.

Long game only.

We are building infrastructure for how businesses will run in ten years.

What Squidgy must never become: generic AI content, or anything that replaces human expertise. AI should amplify what people know, not take it.

Who is behind Squidgy

Seth Ward, Founder and CEO

Seth founded Squidgy in April 2024 to give small businesses AI teammates that take the admin off their plate. When ACE was built, the focus moved to a bigger idea: letting the people who know a problem build the AI that solves it.

Squidgy is built by 4142 Ltd, an AI startup foundry based in the UK, with a team spread across the UK, Europe, the US and Asia.

Builders can talk to Seth and the team directly in our open Q&A every Thursday at 16:00 UK time.
