ABOUT JOHN ROBINSON

I help UK SMEs cut through the AI hype and build systems that actually work.Most businesses know AI could help them, they just don\'t know where to start. Or they\'ve tried it and nothing stuck. Or they\'re drowning in tools that don\'t talk to each other.That\'s where I come in.I co-founded Blue Onion to solve a simple problem: how do you take AI from \"sounds interesting\" to \"running in the business daily\"?We don\'t do theory. We don\'t do workshops with no follow-through. We build practical AI systems that integrate into your existing workflows. Think voice agents, automation, customer service tools. Oh, and we make sure your team actually uses them.Before Blue Onion, I spent years in operations and business development, which taught me one critical lesson: technology only works if it fits the way people actually work. No amount of fancy AI fixes a broken process.I also speak at events about AI implementation, productivity, and how SMEs can compete in an AI-driven world without massive budgets or technical teams.If you\'re an SME owner who\'s tired of AI hype and wants to know what actually works, let\'s talk.If you\'re looking for a speaker who can translate AI into practical business value (without the fluff), get in touch.
