What the word means
An AI agent is a piece of software that takes a job off your hands and does it by itself, within limits you set. A message arrives, it reads it, it replies or passes it to a person. It does not need you at the screen.
Food and drink on this site
Count the food and drink categories listed here on 10 October 2026 and you get 199 of the 408 businesses: 51 restaurants, 47 cafes, 24 pubs, and 77 takeaways across Indian, Chinese, pizza, fish and chips and kebab. The questions that reach these businesses are very similar. Are you open? Can I book a table for Saturday? Do you do this without gluten? Where do I park?
A person answers every one of them, often with wet hands, and misses some.
Jobs an agent can take on
Dean Keating's website lists what the agents he builds can do:
- reply to new enquiries within minutes, day or night
- answer common questions across email, web and WhatsApp
- book jobs into the diary
- send updates, confirmations and reminders
- sort and route messages, and escalate to a person when needed
- produce a weekly report
For a pub that takes group bookings, the useful ones are the first reply, the reminder and the hand-off to a person for anything unusual. For a cafe, it may just be the opening-hours question.
What he does and how
His website describes a done-for-you service, installed for you, not handed over. He builds the agents, installs them in the tools you already use, trains your team and supports it afterwards. The route is a free call, an audit of the work worth automating, the build and install, then training and support. He starts with one task. The cost is given after the free call, with no obligation, and no price list is published.
Not a chatbot product
It is not a chatbot you subscribe to and set up yourself, and it is not a phone-answering service. If your main problem is calls you cannot pick up during service, speak to a phone-answering provider as well.
Where he is
Dean is in Horndean, Hampshire, and works remotely, which his website says is possible anywhere in the UK. He is not based in Lewisham. His website says he can visit businesses in Hampshire or nearby in person. If you want someone in your kitchen or bar, say that early and talk to south-east London providers too.
For the local picture, the restaurants, cafes and pubs pages show how each is listed.
