Joe Sturdy

I'm Joe Sturdy — an AI Solutions Architect, automation specialist and multi-venture founder based in Frome, Somerset. I design, build and ship AI systems for business: AI operating systems, voice agents and automations that do real work — capturing enquiries, booking jobs and running front-of-house 24/7. Through Sturdy Ai I deliver done-for-you AI ops layers for UK SMBs, with self-storage as the flagship vertical. I also co-founded Askar Research, an autonomous market-research agent validated against 740,000 real responses, and earlier closed £250k+ in enterprise AI deals at Darktrace. Alongside the AI work I run Sturdy Vanilla (premium Ugandan vanilla, direct-to-consumer) and Vibes UK (curated second-hand fashion). Whether you're a business owner curious about AI, a collaborator, or just here to connect — explore the links below. Outside of work, you'll find me into sport, music, and building things that didn't exist yesterday.
