Meet me
Zander Penglis
Founder, and everything else
I've been intrigued by technology for as long as I can remember, and to have the opportunity to help people solve problems using the cutting edge of what the world has to offer was one I couldn't pass up.
My experience is a mix of sales and legal work. For the last three and a half years I've been working as a legal assistant/paralegal while studying a double in law and economics. Whilst this has obviously taught me exceptional time management. I've also learned to listen to people, work hard, and never stop until the job is done. No, literally — I often have to hold off on sending emails, because for some reason 2am isn't acceptable.
In the time I'm not working or studying, I teach a local karate class, go indoor bouldering with friends, and always have a personal hobby on the go that'll be replaced in a month.
Let's talk about your business.
About
We want to help you spend more time on the work that counts.
Our story
In my time in the legal industry, I noticed that lots of legal work is not the law itself, but the scaffolding around it. Time spent updating the same details, downloading the same reports, checking the same websites.
I realised this wasn't something about the legal industry specifically. Most businesses face the same troubles, day in, day out. Ultimately, I built zedders to help businesses focus on the work they're good at without wasting time on everything else.
We value
Transparency.
We're honest about where AI can and cannot help your business. Sometimes it's better to remove a process rather than automate it.
Trustworthiness.
We put all our effort into the work we do for you. We'll treat your data and processes with the same care we would our own.
Friendliness.
We're right here. We aim to reply quickly and are always happy to meet for a coffee. When you hire zedders, you get Zander.
Our approach
How we work with your firm.
We learn your business, people and processes.
We know the tech and you know the business. The first step is always to share that knowledge. We learn the shape of your practice: the workflows, the exceptions, and the workarounds people have quietly invented. The next steps come out of understanding the work, not a templated roadmap.
We start where the work hurts most.
Whether the first targets are simple email automations or company-wide knowledge systems depends on your specific needs. We keep you engaged throughout the whole process to ensure we're executing your vision, not just ticking boxes.
We keep sensitive data inside your business.
Confidentiality is a major concern for most businesses when considering new technologies. We know where data can be kept safely, how best to store it for AI retrieval, and how to do it all without it costing an arm and a leg.
We implement systems your team will actually adopt.
A clever automation that people route around is worse than none at all. By learning your processes we can design for the people doing the work, with changes they'll want to use, and team training sessions available to share the knowledge with everyone.
We leave you with something you own.
You own everything we implement and can run it alone if you chose. But if you'd prefer, ongoing support for maintenance and updates will always be available because the best systems are the best kept systems.
