We approached Tom at Lumatech Systems looking for something that could help manage the volume of enquiries we receive at Pieces of Time — questions about stock, availability, provenance, and everything in between. What we got with Rupert exceeded our expectations considerably.
Rupert, the AI horology assistant Tom built for antique-watch.com, has been a remarkable asset. He works tirelessly through our catalogue, helping clients navigate our stock and find watches that genuinely suit them — and he does it with a level of knowledge and patience that reflects well on the business. We've already seen sales that we're confident wouldn't have happened without him, and several new clients have walked through the door at Davies Street having first been pointed in the right direction by Rupert online. Beyond that, the sheer volume of day-to-day questions he fields has freed us up considerably — enquiries that would previously have sat in our inbox waiting for attention are now answered promptly and accurately.
What also stood out was Tom's approach throughout the process. He was consistently professional, proactive, and genuinely engaged — always asking the right questions to understand the business and refine the model accordingly. The integration into our website was seamless; Rupert simply appeared, worked, and has continued to work without fuss.
If you're running a specialist business and wondering whether an AI assistant is worth the investment, our experience with Lumatech Systems would suggest the answer is emphatically yes. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tom to anyone.
