It’s 2026 and we’re back with our Meet the Member series! The first one of the year has been a Leicester Startups member for a while but it’s the first time we’ve really shouted him out.
Meet Brook Richardson of Agentic Computing Ltd!
Brook recently pivoted his company, which officially launched this month, and he has a very generous offer to Leicester Startups members – read more below!
Brook, what does Agentic Computing do?
We help businesses eliminate repetitive, time-consuming tasks through automation. Whether it’s manual data entry, copying information between systems, or generating the same reports every week, we automate the work that drains your team’s time and energy.
Our clients are typically businesses where teams spend 10-15+ hours per week on manual, repetitive work. We’ve worked across logistics, finance, education, energy, telecommunications, and more.
We also plan to package our automations and offer them as packages or as SaaS applications.
What’s the problem you’re solving?
Most businesses have talented teams spending hours on grunt work instead of growth activities. We automate those soul-crushing repetitive tasks so teams can focus on what actually moves the business forward. Plus, our automations pay for themselves, we price at 20% of the annual cost of doing the work manually, giving clients a 5x ROI.
How did this idea come about?
I spent 16 years in test automation and launched a different business in 2025 (InstantJobFit.com) that didn’t work out. But talking to businesses, I kept hearing the same frustration: teams drowning in repetitive manual work. With AI and modern automation tools becoming more accessible, I realised I could bring my automation expertise to help businesses eliminate this drudgery.
And where is the startup at right now?
Just launched! Officially went public with the business in January 2026. Currently working with a few clients, but need more.
How can the community help you?
I’m looking to connect with businesses (startups or established) that have teams spending significant time on repetitive manual tasks. If you know anyone drowning in data entry, report generation, or moving information between systems, I’d love to chat with them. Happy to offer free automation assessments to Leicester Startups members.
What can you help other founders with?
– Automation strategy and advice
– Software testing and QA approaches
– Test automation expertise
– Process optimisation and workflow design
– Planning technical implementations
What do you hope to get from being part of the Leicester Startups community?
Connections with businesses that need automation, learning from other founders’ experiences, and being part of a supportive startup ecosystem in Leicester. The community has already been incredibly welcoming!
