Work we have shipped.

Real sites, real Kenyan businesses. Hover to pause, tap any to view.

And the software behind them.

A website is where people find you. This is what runs the business once they do. Real dashboards our clients use every day.

Work that happens while you sleep.

We are called Essence Automations for a reason. These are real jobs running for real clients right now, with nobody pressing a button.

Send the company profile

Oville Associates

Someone asks for your company profile, it lands in their inbox straight away and the lead lands with you. Nobody has to be at a desk.

Let the AI book the school visit

St. Christopher's International

A parent asks about admissions at 11pm. The AI answers, then books their campus tour straight into the calendar and the reminder goes out on its own. Staff wake up to a booked visit instead of a missed enquiry.

Turn Instagram and TikTok posts into products

Ryker Luxury, ThriftLux, Purple Bear

Product posts and reels become items in the shop three times a day. The AI reads the caption, skips anything that is not a product, and fills in the name, category, sizes and price. Reels get a clean product image pulled out of the video, so you are never left with a blank listing.

Chase what you are owed

Shop Manager clients

A polite WhatsApp goes out with the exact balance and keeps going until the customer pays. You never have to send the awkward message.

Catch a member before they quit

Jays Fitness Systems

When someone stops showing up, they get flagged and a renewal reminder goes out before the membership lapses, not after.

Report the day back to you

Shop Manager clients

Every evening a WhatsApp arrives with the takings, what sold, what is running low and who still owes. You read it, you do not build it.

Ask for the review at the right time

Rate Us, used on our own site

After a sale the customer gets your review link. Happy ones go to Google, unhappy ones come privately to you first.

Publish without a developer

BKM Property Managers

A new property goes on the public site about thirty seconds after the team adds it. No emailing us, no waiting.

These are just the ones already running. If a job in your business is repetitive, we can automate it, whatever the trade.

About Us

Most agencies hand over a site and disappear.

We do the opposite. We build the website, the shopfront or the AI chat, then the software the business actually runs on: stock and sales for shops, memberships and check-ins for gyms, listings for property managers, a sales pipeline for outbound teams. Then we stay on and run it.

Twenty-plus businesses open it every day, from a menswear shop in Nairobi to a parts business in Dubai. Behind each one are the automations that chase the renewals, pull in the stock and report the day back to the owner. If a job in your business is repetitive, it can probably run itself.
