100 words

John Sears is the founder of MoonBoots Consultancy, an independent AI firm based at Hethel Engineering Centre in Norfolk. Mathematics background, with senior operational experience as Co-Founder and COO of Moments, an AI-driven sport analytics platform working across professional football and rugby. John writes code on every project the firm ships, including the multi-agent systems built on the Anthropic Claude API. His operating principle is "bounded AI as a discipline": systems that are scoped to a specific domain, logged on every interaction, and controlled by the person who should be in control. Available for press interview, podcast appearance, conference panels and writing commissions.

Topics John can speak on

For podcast bookings, conference panels, written commissions or background commentary.

Why we are betting against the chatbot

The case for bounded AI in business: scoped to one domain, logged on every interaction, controlled by the person who should be in control. Why general-purpose chatbots are the wrong tool for any business that deals with customers, regulated data, or children.

The total cost of ownership of an agentic AI build

Build cost, monthly token spend, on-call rota, model upgrade churn, governance and compliance. The honest TCO of an AI agent from quote to year three, with the break-even maths most consultancies do not show.

Anthropic Claude vs OpenAI: a working consultant's perspective

Why MoonBoots defaults to Claude for agentic systems, and where OpenAI still wins. The case for hierarchical multi-agent architectures over single-agent patterns. From the perspective of someone shipping production code on both APIs.

Bringing AI capability to East Anglia's commercial economy

Norfolk and Suffolk have more SMEs than central London has tech companies, and almost none are being asked the right questions about AI. What rigorous, vendor-neutral consultancy looks like when the buyer is a Wymondham family business rather than a FTSE 100 board.

Pre-cleared quotes

On the current state of AI consultancy

Most AI consultancy is selling a version of the same thing: pick a tool, wire it up, run it. This works fine for the first few tasks you hand to an AI, and it stops working the moment you try to do anything that matters.
John Sears, Founder, MoonBoots Consultancy

On general-purpose chatbots

General-purpose AI tools will cheerfully discuss anything with anyone. They have no idea who they are talking to and no record of what they said. For a business that deals with customers, regulated data, or children, that is not a tool. It is a liability.
John Sears, Founder, MoonBoots Consultancy

On honest advice

The honest answer to "should we use AI?" is often "wait six months and check again." If your consultant is not willing to say that, you have the wrong consultant.
John Sears, Founder, MoonBoots Consultancy

On East Anglia

Norfolk and Suffolk have more SMEs than central London has tech companies, and almost none of them are being asked the right questions about AI.
John Sears, Founder, MoonBoots Consultancy

On architecture

We use a hierarchical multi-agent architecture: a small orchestrator that delegates to specialised workers. It is faster, cheaper and more reliable than the single-agent pattern most consultancies default to. It is also harder to build, which is why most consultancies do not.
John Sears, Founder, MoonBoots Consultancy
