Company Description

Daio is an AI consultancy and build partner for independent UK PR and marketing agencies with 15 to 50 staff. Most of these agencies already use AI every day, but nobody owns it: there is no playbook, the policy isn’t checked and the hours saved don’t show up in the margin.

We start with a fixed-price audit. In ten days we look at how the team actually works, rate five to ten opportunities by the margin they would recover, and deliver a 90-day roadmap, an internal AI usage policy fitted to the agency and a client-facing AI transparency statement. If the audit finds nothing worth building, we say so.

Then we build the highest-value tool in six weeks, inside the agency’s own accounts, and document it so the team can run it without us. Every recommendation carries a projected monthly run-cost. An optional retainer covers rollout, training, upkeep and governance.

We are model-agnostic across Claude, OpenAI and Gemini, work under NDA as standard and keep client material off our own systems.

Daio is run by Dan O’Sullivan, a former Teach First science teacher who was the first employee and COO of an education startup later acquired by Roblox, and Commercial Director at an a16z-backed game studio. Daio is the trading name of LAA Pacific Ltd, based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire.

How do I contact Daio?

You can contact Daio through its website at https://daio.uk/ or via the Visit website link on its aibl AI Enablement Directory listing. The listing also links to the Daio LinkedIn page, so you can see who runs the business and what it has been working on before you get in touch.

Is Daio a verified aibl partner?

Yes. Daio is a verified partner in the aibl AI Enablement Directory. aibl reviews every Directory listing by hand before it goes live, checking that the partner can serve UK and Ireland clients and that it sells AI enablement services such as consulting, implementation or training, not just software.

Does aibl rank or endorse Daio?

No. The aibl AI Enablement Directory lists verified partners but does not rank or endorse individual providers. Verification confirms a partner meets the Directory criteria. It is not a recommendation, so buyers should compare providers against their own goals, budget and timelines before choosing who to work with.
