Making AI work for real businesses, real people

At gecco, we believe everyone should be able to use and benefit from artificial intelligence. That's why we've spent years perfecting solutions that makes AI as easy to use as email – practical, personal, and powerful enough to transform how your business works.

Our story begins with a simple observation

Whilst AI promises to transform the way that we all work, most businesses are being left behind. Often believing that AI is either too complex, too generic, or too expensive.
 
We saw brilliant people drowning in repetitive tasks, talented professionals spending hours on admin instead of strategy, and leaders knowing AI could help but not knowing where to start

The core ideas that bring us together

A world where all businesses can benefit from AI - without technical expertise or deep pockets.

01
People first

AI can empower your team, not replace them. The race is on to upskill teams so they can take advantage of the opportunity.

03
Practical solutions

Real-world tools delivering immediate value - no complexity, no jargon, just simplicity and results.

02
Shared success

We build partnerships that deliver real impact. Partnering with us is the start of a relationship, not the end of transaction.

04
Constant innovation

AI evolves quickly. We keep pace so you can stay ahead. We handle the complexity, whilst you focus on what matters most.

"The agent took the grunt work out of meetings without ever losing the personal touch. I used to spend hours writing follow‑ups — now I get them at the time of the meeting, accurate and on point. Having my first drafts in my own inbox helped me trust the system; once I saw how well it performed, full automation was a no‑brainer.”
