Managed Services · 24/7, By your side

We keep your app alive. Even if someone else built it. 24/7.

Most providers won't touch code they didn't write. We assess it, harden it, and stand behind it, AI-first monitoring, triage, and fixes around the clock, with real engineers behind the escalations. And your people get the same desk for their everyday IT.

You've already met your support desk, it's the same assistant that walks you through every quote on this site. The sales journey is the product demo.

Response and resolution stats publish here once the desk is live. Measured, not promised.

How it works

Qualify → Pick a tier → Onboard → It just answers

AI-first, orchestrated by human excellence: the same buy-online promise as everything we sell, and this time the thing you're buying is the thing that sold it to you.

1

Qualify

Free

One question routes you, app or people, then a two-minute questionnaire, including how you like to be spoken to. Try the desk on a real question while you're at it.

Pick your tier

fixed monthly

Per app for Application Support, per user for the IT desk. AI-first on every tier; humans exactly where you want them.

3

Onboard

days, not quarters

The origin check runs first, built by us, hardened by us, or assessed first, then knowledge ingestion, WhatsApp provisioning, and your preferences carried over.

It just answers

24/7

Instant, every hour of every day, and it reports its own performance so you can see it earning the subscription.

Family one: the hero

24/7 Application Support

Your app, watched and cared for around the clock: monitoring, error triage, security patches, dependency updates, and small fixes, priced per app, banded by complexity. AI does the watching at machine speed; engineers stand behind every escalation.

Not sure which band? The qualifier works it out from your stack.

The SLA, by severity

SeverityWhat it meansResponseWork on the fix
P1Outage or security incident15–30 min, 24/7Work on the fix: immediately on Pro/Enterprise, from the start of business hours on Guardian
P2Major function broken1–2 hoursWork on the fix: next engineering window
P3Minor defect4 hrs / next business dayWork on the fix: business hours
P4Cosmetic1 business dayWork on the fix: business hours

Response means detected, triaged, acknowledged and advised, by AI, around the clock. Work on the fix means a named engineer changing code, within your tier's hours. Enterprise adds contracted resolution targets.

Who built it changes nothing, except the front door.

Setup waived / minimal

Hardened by tecnov8

Fast onboarding: your codebase is already assessed and scored. Low setup fee, straight onto the desk.

Low setup fee

Built by someone else

The market gap nobody serves at a published price. We take it on, after the Production Readiness Assessment (£1,500–£7,500) tells us both exactly what we're standing behind. Part of the assessment fee credits against your first 3 months.

Assessment gate + £500–£1,000 onboarding

Plain-English exclusions: pre-existing defects in the underlying code sit outside fair use and are quoted via Fix Packs (£700–£1,250) or an agreed sprint from £1,000 a day, findings from your assessment, priced before you commit. Unscheduled ad-hoc work is £240/hour. Liability caps and minimum standards apply.

Fair use: App Guardian includes ~1 hr/mo of small fixes (Pro ~3–4 hrs); the AI Desk includes ~12 AI interactions per user per month, with password and access self-service unlimited and uncounted. AI-usage and WhatsApp per-message costs are pass-through-linked in the service terms: Meta and model pricing move, and we don't hide that in the subscription. Prices ex VAT, billed in GBP. UK customers pay 20% VAT, added at checkout; customers outside the UK are not charged UK VAT.

Family two: the companion

…and we support your people too.

The same desk, pointed at your team's everyday IT: password resets, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, devices, how-to: priced per user, instant at 3am. The human tiers exist for teams not ready to go fully AI; a respectable choice, priced honestly, upgrade and downgrade both ways.

The bundle

One desk for your app and your people.

Support your app and your team together: one bot, one number, one preference profile, and a bundle discount when both are on the desk. Your users never wonder which door to knock on, because there's only one.

Bundle discount ~10–15% when both families are in the cart.

It already knows how you like to work.

Whatever you set during your first conversation (voice on or off, tone, formality, language, preferred channel) follows you into the support service, on every channel. Set it once in the qualifier and watch: the desk remembers, from your first quote to your thousandth ticket.

  • ✓Tone and formality, from 'straight to the point' to 'talk me through it'
  • ✓Channel, WhatsApp, app, web, or voice; it meets you where you are
  • ✓Language, support in the language your team actually works in
  • ✓One profile across sales and support, never re-introduce yourself

Where it lives

Your support desk, in your pocket

Support that waits behind a portal login doesn't get used. The desk lives on the channels your team already has open.

WhatsApp

Your support desk in the chat app your team already opens fifty times a day. No new logins, no portals to remember.

Branded mobile app

Your company's own support app, tickets, status, and instant answers under your logo.

Web portal

The full desk in a browser: history, reporting, and admin controls for whoever runs IT.

Voice

Call and talk to it. Same assistant, same memory, same fixes, for the people who'd rather speak than type.

Fair questions

Someone else built our app. Will you really support it?

Yes. That's the point. The Production Readiness Assessment goes first, so we both know exactly what we're standing behind; part of that fee credits against your first three months of Guardian. Pre-existing defects it finds are priced openly as Fix Packs, never smuggled into the subscription.

What counts as a 'small fix' on App Guardian?

Roughly an hour a month of engineering. Broken buttons, config corrections, dependency bumps that misbehave. Bigger work routes to the published Fix Packs, an agreed sprint from £1,000 a day, or £240/hour ad-hoc, quoted in writing before anything starts.

What happens when the AI can't fix something?

On the AI tiers it logs the issue cleanly with everything it learned. On the human tiers it escalates to a person within the SLA, with full context, so nobody repeats themselves.

Can we start AI-only and add humans later?

Yes, and the other way too. The upgrade and downgrade path runs both directions, monthly, in both families.

Where does our data live?

The preference and memory layer runs in EU data centres, with UK-sovereign options for regulated estates. Full details in the service terms.

The Production Readiness Assessment is the front door, scored, credited against your first three months of Guardian.
