approves every output before it reaches a customer. That's the rule — in writing, in every plan.
MoreHours is an Australian business that installs simple AI systems in owner-run companies of about five to thirty staff — trades, clinics and professional services — covering quoting, invoice chasing, bookings, job notes and reports. Every automation ends with a named person on your team approving the output before it reaches a customer, and that name is written into the plan and into the contract. Run by Jimmy Yu (ABN 82 856 046 776), Melbourne-based, working Australia-wide, in English and 中文.
You've tried AI. It hasn't stuck.
Someone in the office uses ChatGPT for emails. You've seen a demo. Nothing runs by itself yet, and nobody's sure what's safe to put in.
That's not a skills problem. It's wiring — the AI isn't connected to how the business actually runs — and rules — nobody has said who checks what.

Approved by you.
Every automation we install ends with a named person on your team approving the output before it reaches a customer, a supplier or the ATO.
It's written into the plan and into the contract. Your data stays in your systems. No personal information goes into consumer AI tools — ever.
Questions owners ask first
We've already got someone using ChatGPT. What's different?+
Nothing wrong with that — it's where most businesses are. The difference is wiring and rules: we connect AI to the systems you already run (job software, Xero, your inbox) so a task runs by itself, and we write down who checks it before it goes out. One person using ChatGPT is a habit. A flow with an owner is a system.
Will our customer data end up in ChatGPT?+
No. Personal information never goes into consumer AI tools. We use business-grade services whose terms exclude training on your data, and your records stay in your own systems. It's in the plan and in the contract.
Do we need new software?+
Usually not. Most automations sit on top of what you have — ServiceM8, Tradify, simPRO, Cliniko, Xero, MYOB, Gmail or Outlook. If something is genuinely missing (most often a job system, when quotes live on paper), we'll say so in the Team Map before you spend anything.
What if AI gets a quote or an invoice wrong?+
That's exactly why every flow ends with a named person approving the output. AI drafts; your person checks and sends. Nothing reaches a customer, a supplier or the ATO without that step.
How do you measure 'hours saved'?+
By timed sample, not self-report. We time the task by hand before, time it with the automation after, multiply by how often it runs. The monthly Hours Report shows the number, the method and who approved what.
How long until something actually runs?+
Team Map is delivered within 10 business days. What happens after that is in the plan — and it's your call.
Where do you work? Do you need to be on site?+
We work with businesses right across Australia. Team Map runs on Google Meet, and the automations get built inside your own accounts — so where you are doesn't change much. On-site days can be arranged and are quoted separately.
Who is this not for?+
Sole traders with no office, businesses that want a custom software build, and anyone who wants AI to make decisions without a person in the loop. We sell a clear map and a plan, not custom code.
