What does Ask Yr Grandpa do?
Ask Yr Grandpa is an AI consultancy and product studio based in Brisbane, Australia, founded by Gus Gale after more than 20 years running businesses across NDIS, aged care, youth justice, residential care, community services, trades and labour hire. It builds custom AI for any Australian or New Zealand business, delivered in 28 days, and runs four live AI platforms: Titus CRM for NDIS, aged care and community providers; Poto AI for mentoring organisations; GetSignQuote for sign, print and trades businesses; and a custom AI Receptionist for any business that misses calls. Every build starts with a free 15-minute call and a fixed quote in writing before work begins.
How long does a custom AI build take, and what does it cost?
28 days, start to live. It runs: free 15-minute call (day 0) → gap analysis (week 1) → scope and fixed quote you approve in writing (week 1) → first working version you test on real work (day 21) → final system live and your team trained (day 28) → ongoing human support. Build pricing is fixed-price and quoted individually after the gap analysis, so there's a number in writing before anything is built — no scope creep, no hidden fees, no lock-in. Advisory and consulting work beyond the free intro call is $299 +GST per hour, billed in 15-minute blocks.
How does AI help NDIS, aged care and community organisations?
It removes the administrative load these providers carry daily. For NDIS providers, Titus CRM automates progress notes, screens recruitment candidates around the clock, answers inbound calls through an AI receptionist, generates compliance reports, and tracks NDIS budgets against plan line items in real time — saving 15 or more hours a week in admin. For aged care providers, it streamlines rostering, incident reporting, staff credentialing and client management across multiple sites. For community organisations, AI handles programme reporting, participant tracking and funder acquittals. It also covers digital service agreement signing, stakeholder portal access, and a 13-module LMS for staff training — replacing up to six separate tools with one system.
How much does Titus CRM cost?
Two ways to buy. Rent it from $169/week on the Startup rate or $249/week on the standard rate. Or own the build outright for a one-off $6,500. Add-ons are priced separately — AI Brain $1,499, Unified Inbox $1,999, AI Voice Receptionist $399. All prices are plus GST. There are no per-user fees and no lock-in contracts, and every plan includes the full admin portal, the field staff mobile app and all core modules. 11 organisations are currently live on the platform across Australia and New Zealand.
Is Titus CRM compliant with NDIS audit requirements?
Yes. Titus CRM was built inside a real NDIS provider and designed against the NDIS Practice Standards from day one. It includes
18 QMS registers across five categories — Governance and Risk, Incidents and Safety, Complaints and Feedback, Workforce and Screening, and Participant Records — six of which auto-populate from operational data, cutting the manual compliance workload. It also handles incident reporting with automatic severity classification, staff credentialing with expiry alerts, AI-assisted progress notes, and NDIS budget tracking against plan line items. It was built for providers who need to
pass audits, not just store data. There's also a free
NDIS Service Agreement Builder any provider can use without an account.
Do you work with businesses outside the NDIS and community sector?
Yes. The roots are in community services, but the custom AI build works for any service-based business. GetSignQuote serves sign, print and trades businesses, and the custom build pipeline has delivered for trades, construction and professional services. If your business loses time to admin, manual quoting, repetitive workflows or compliance paperwork, those are exactly the problems AI fixes. The 28-day process is identical regardless of industry — retail, hospitality, professional services, labour hire, recruitment, construction.
Do you work with organisations outside Australia?
Yes. Poto AI serves mentoring organisations across New Zealand and Australia, and Titus CRM and custom AI builds are available to any service-based business in either country. All platforms are web-based and timezone-aware, and every discovery meeting is a video call. The business is headquartered in Brisbane, Queensland and runs on Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST).
Who is Gus Gale?
Gus Gale is a Brisbane-based founder and builder with over 20 years running businesses in NDIS disability support, aged care, youth justice, residential care, school mentoring, trades and labour hire — employing more than 900 staff along the way. He's been knocked down more times than he can count and rebuilt each time. He now channels that experience into four AI-powered platforms and a custom AI build service, and shares the lessons openly through Ask Yr Grandpa with no paywalls and no gatekeeping.
Is my business data safe with AI?
It has to be — these systems are built for NDIS and aged care providers, where privacy isn't optional. On the scoping call you'll get a plain walk-through of exactly where your data lives, what the AI can see, and what it can't, before anything is built. Australian and New Zealand privacy obligations are designed into the build, not bolted on afterwards. If any vendor can't answer that question plainly and in writing, walk away.
