About us

A Small Agency That Measures First

MAIS AI Agency is based in Porto and works with companies of 10 to 100 people in Portugal, the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe. We build AI agents and process automation, and we start by finding out what the manual version costs.

Why we exist

The gap is rarely the technology

Helberth Malta founded MAIS after years of automation work in which the same pattern kept repeating: the technology was available, affordable and well documented, and the project still failed. What was missing was the bridge between the tool and how the business actually runs.

That is the work we do. It is why our first deliverable is a number rather than a demo, and why our audits regularly rule out more processes than they recommend.

Helberth leads strategy, solution design and the client relationship from first call to delivery. A small team of developers specialised in automation, APIs and systems integration builds the work.

How we work

Four things we actually do

Map before you automate

We map the process before choosing a tool. Half the projects we are asked to quote turn out to need a different process, not software.

We deliver hours, not technology

The deliverable is time recovered, enquiries answered and cost removed. An impressive demo that changes no number is a cost.

Your team has to be able to run it

We document so your people can maintain and extend the work. Permanent dependency on us would be good for our revenue and bad for you.

We say no in writing

Where AI is the wrong answer, that is what the report says. It costs us the project and keeps the relationship.

The method in detail

Talk to the person who will do the work

The first call is with Helberth, not with a salesperson, because the first call is where the useful questions get asked.
