← Studio N

Ireland

Most Irish businesses know AI could help. Almost nobody will build it.

Studio N builds the websites, apps and AI systems that Irish service businesses actually run on. One senior engineer, 13+ years, accountable from first call to launch. No agency layers, no outsourcing, no disappearing act.

The gap

Irish businesses are not sceptical about AI. They just have nobody to build it.

80% of Irish SMEs believe AI can positively impact their business Google / Amárach, March 2026, n=400
57% believe they are already behind their competitors on AI Google / Amárach, March 2026
33% of Irish micro-businesses use no AI for any task at all Google / Amárach, March 2026
17% of small Irish enterprises used AI in 2025 - against 58% of large ones CSO Information Society Statistics, Feb 2026

The stated barriers are not cost or belief. They are “lack of skills” (27%) and “don’t know where to start” (16%). Ireland’s public supports reflect the same gap: the Local Enterprise Offices and Enterprise Ireland fund consultancy and roadmaps, and explicitly exclude implementation and bespoke development. Plenty of Irish businesses are holding a digital roadmap with nobody funded to build it.

What we build

Three layers. Most clients start in the middle and work outward.

Web is the foundation, apps are the system, AI is the leverage. You can order any of them on their own.

01

Web development

Conversion-focused business websites, e-commerce, and custom web applications. Mobile-first, fast, built on a stack you can hand to any developer later - React, Vue, Node, Laravel, PostgreSQL.

From €480 -60% Business sites from €1,560 · e-commerce from €2,600
02

Cross-platform apps

One codebase, iOS and Android. Booking, loyalty, client portals, field-service tools. We will usually talk you out of a native build if a €8,000 progressive web app does the same job.

From €3,200 -60% Cross-platform MVP from €7,200
03

AI implementation

Systems that answer your phone, read your documents, qualify your enquiries and draft your quotes. Scoped against hours saved per month, not features.

From €720 -60% Most projects €1,000-€3,200 + monthly

The AI work, specifically

Productised automations you can price before you call.

These are built repeatedly, so they are quick to deploy and quick to quote. Anything unusual is scoped individually.

Every one of these is quoted against a number: hours saved per month, or enquiries recovered per month. If we cannot find that number in the audit, we will tell you not to buy it.

Who we help

Three kinds of Irish business, three different bottlenecks.

01

Accountants, solicitors & professional practices

High document volume, manual intake, and compliance anxiety. The wins are extraction, intake automation and deadline monitoring - and a website that reflects what you actually charge.

See the accountancy & legal page →
02

Clinics, dental & medical practices

Phone-only booking, no-shows, and a receptionist doing work software should do. The wins are online booking, AI reception, recall automation and reviews.

See the clinics page →
03

Trades & home services

You are on a job, so the phone rings out, and that call goes to whoever answers first. The wins are a site that loads on mobile and a system that answers when you cannot.

Also working with Irish e-commerce and retail - storefronts, product data automation and AI support. Not on the list? The audit is free either way.

VAT: Studio N is established outside the EU, so no VAT is charged on the invoice. Under the general place-of-supply rule for B2B services (Article 44, Directive 2006/112/EC) your business self-accounts for Irish VAT under the reverse charge. If you are VAT-registered and fully deductible, that is cash-neutral for you.

Grant funding

What Irish digital grants actually cover in 2026.

The Trading Online Voucher closed to applications in December 2024. Agencies still advertising it are quoting a scheme that no longer exists.

Its replacement, the Grow Digital Voucher, funds 50% of eligible costs up to €5,000 - but the official terms state that it “does not support bespoke website development” and that “custom or bespoke software is not eligible for grant support.” What it does fund is off-the-shelf software new to your business, plus the configuration and training around it.

So we structure grant-linked work as two invoices: the voucher-eligible portion, and the bespoke layer as ordinary commercial spend. Clean for your claim, clean for your accountant.

  • You must have completed a LEO Digital for Business project in the previous two years to be eligible
  • Apply before any work starts or expenditure is incurred, or you lose eligibility
  • 1-50 employees, trading 6+ months, tax compliant, not an Enterprise Ireland or IDA client
  • Grants are paid in arrears on proof of payment - you fund the work first, then claim

Working with a supplier outside Ireland

The four things Irish businesses actually worry about.

01

“They will disappear halfway through.”

Every account is registered in your business name with you as owner from day one - domain, hosting, repository, analytics, payment gateway. If you walk away mid-project you keep everything and need nothing from us. That is in the contract, not just on this page.

02

“The timezone will kill it.”

Kyiv is two hours ahead of Dublin, year round. Calls at 9am or 4pm Irish time are ordinary working hours here. You get a Friday video walkthrough of real progress and a shared board you can open any time.

03

“What about GDPR and our client data?”

Ukraine has no EU adequacy decision, so we design around it: production data stays in EU-hosted infrastructure, development runs on pseudonymised or synthetic data, and a DPA with EU Standard Contractual Clauses is signed at contract stage.

04

“Ukraine is at war.”

A fair question and we would rather you asked it. Redundant power and connectivity, and EU-hosted code and infrastructure - so your project never depends on a machine or a connection in Ukraine. The full continuity plan is written down and we will send it before you sign.

How it starts

A free audit, then a decision. No pipeline, no chasing.

01

Free AI & web audit

We review your site, your enquiry path and one manual process. You get a short video and a two-page summary naming three specific problems and what each is costing you per month. Yours to keep either way.

02

Twenty-minute call

We go through the findings, you tell us what actually hurts, and we say plainly whether we are the right fit. Sometimes the answer is a €40/month tool and no project at all.

03

Fixed-price proposal

Within 24 hours, with three scope options and a walkthrough video. Valid 30 days. 50% to start, 50% on delivery.
