X18 Global builds the intelligence layer for established businesses: AI systems, automation pipelines and growth infrastructure that plug into how you already operate. In practice that means RAG knowledge systems over your own data, automated operations (quoting, invoicing, scheduling, follow-ups), CRM and revenue systems, and custom builds where off-the-shelf tools stop. We also run an exit advisory practice for owner-run businesses preparing to sell.
We work inside an owner-run business for around six months — bringing in more customers, lifting margins and building systems that run without the owner — then the business is sold at a higher number. There are no upfront fees: X18 is paid an agreed percentage of the valuation uplift at settlement, measured from a baseline appraisal agreed in writing with your broker before any work starts. Full detail is on the Exit Advisory page.
Mid-to-large enterprises across any sector — law firms, manufacturers, eCommerce brands, iGaming operators, healthcare groups, and more. If you have a team, a CRM, and a growth problem, we can help.
No. Our team spans Australia, Israel, and Canada. We work globally with a focus on APAC and North American markets.
RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) is a type of AI system that lets you query your own business data using natural language. Think: asking your contracts, knowledge base, or CRM a question and getting a precise answer. If your team spends time searching for internal information or writing repetitive documents, you almost certainly need one.
First live systems are typically deployed within 14 days of kickoff. Meaningful operational impact is usually visible within the first 30 days.
We work across the full stack — AI/LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic), automation platforms (n8n, Make, Zapier), CRMs (HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel), and custom development in React/Next.js/Node. We recommend tools that fit your stack, not tools we're affiliated with.
We understand the scepticism. We don't pitch AI as a solution to everything. We identify specific workflows where automation and AI create measurable ROI, and we build those systems. Nothing else.
Always. Data security and client confidentiality are non-negotiable. We also operate within your own infrastructure wherever possible.
We start with a 30-minute strategy call to understand your challenges. From there we propose a scoped engagement — usually starting with a 90-day sprint covering audit, build, and optimisation. We don't do retainers for the sake of retainers.
It depends on scope. Most engagements start with a 90-day sprint covering audit, build, and optimisation. We scope to the value created, and we don't do retainers for the sake of retainers.
Great. We work alongside internal teams often, handling the AI and automation layer while they focus on the core product, and we hand over full control once systems are running.
Yes. We operate within your own infrastructure wherever possible, sign NDAs as standard, and design for data confidentiality from the first conversation.
