AI consulting

What our AI consulting covers

We work as one partner across the whole engagement, from the first strategy session to a system your team runs every day, covering both the AI business consulting for leadership and the hands-on machine learning consulting to deliver it.

  • AI strategy and roadmap

    AI strategy consulting · costed roadmap

    A clear, costed plan for where AI fits your business, ranked by return, with the quick wins separated from the long bets. This is the core of our AI strategy consulting work, and the deliverable you keep whether or not we build the next step.

    • Costed AI roadmap
    • Ranked by return
  • AI readiness and data audit

    AI readiness · data audit

    An honest read on whether your data, tools and processes are ready for AI, and the short list of fixes that have to come first. We tell you where AI is worth the spend and where it is not, before you commit a budget to it.

    • Honest readiness read
    • Fix-first shortlist
  • Use-case discovery and prioritisation

    Use-case discovery · value vs effort vs risk

    We map your manual, repetitive work and score each opportunity on value, effort and risk, so you start with the one that pays back fastest instead of the one that demos best.

    • Scored opportunity map
    • Fastest payback first
  • Pilot build, proven on one workflow

    AI implementation · measured pilot

    We build the first solution end to end and measure it against the metric we agreed, so you see a real result on one workflow before you scale, with human oversight on anything that runs on its own.

    • Built end to end
    • Measured against your metric
  • Integration and scale

    Model and connector selection · rollout · scale

    We are model-agnostic, so we choose the right engine for the job, including Claude, OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini and open-source models. In a consulting engagement we scope the integration and pick the connectors, then hand the hands-on build to our dedicated AI integration service and roll the proven workflow out across the business.

    • Right model for the job
    • Rolled out once proven
    Explore service
  • Training, support and optimisation

    AI training · change management · ongoing optimisation

    We get your team fluent and confident so adoption sticks after launch, then keep every workflow running and improving as your business and your data change.

How to choose an AI consulting partner

AI consulting is only worth it if the plan reaches production. Before you sign, weigh the criteria that decide whether it does: where your data lives, whether the people who plan also build, and whether you get a working system or another pilot. Here is what to watch for, and how we answer it.

What to watch for

  • Data residency: your data processed outside the EU, on the vendor's terms
  • Who builds: the plan is handed to a different team, or another vendor, to build
  • Proof: slide decks and pilots that stall before any real work
  • Tooling: built on a platform they resell, not the tools you already own
  • Pricing: scoped to a Fortune 500 budget rather than your return
  • After launch: handed over with no owner, so adoption fades

#makeitfuture AI consulting

  • Data residency: your data stays in the EU, GDPR by design
  • Who builds: the team that plans the work also builds and runs it
  • Proof: a live workflow proven on one agreed metric before you scale
  • Tooling: built on the tools your team already runs
  • Pricing: EU-based partner pricing, scoped to the return
  • After launch: we train your team and keep the system improving

Where AI consulting fits

This page is about deciding what AI to do and planning it. When you are ready to build and run the workflow, that is AI automation; to connect AI to the tools you already run, that is AI integration. See the full offering on our AI automation agency page.

Our approach

Our approach to AI consulting

One partner from the first plan to a system your team runs every day. Here is how an engagement runs, with your control and security visible at every step, not bolted on at the end.

  1. 01

    Discovery and assessment

    We learn your business, your goals and your bottlenecks, then agree the one metric worth moving.

  2. 02

    AI strategy and roadmap

    A costed plan ranked by return, with the quick wins separated from the long bets, covering cost, timeframe, security and privacy.

  3. 03

    Data and readiness check

    An honest read on whether your data, tools and processes are ready, plus the prep the solution needs before it can run.

  4. 04

    Solution design and build (pilot)

    We pick the right engine for the job, whether Claude, OpenAI, Gemini or open-source, and build the first workflow end to end, measured against the agreed metric, with human oversight on anything autonomous.

  5. 05

    Integration into your stack

    We orchestrate the solution inside the tools you already run, and build the connector ourselves when none exists.

  6. 06

    Training, optimisation and scale

    We get your team fluent so adoption sticks long after launch, then keep the solution under continuous oversight and tuning, rolling it out across the business once the numbers prove out.

    • Reduce processing time
    • Automate employment and income verification
    • Match applicants to loan programs instantly
    • Keep CRM data accurate and up to date
    • Work 24/7 without staff involvement
  • AI

    How One AI System Transformed a Pawn Shop’s Product Images, Videos, and Listings, and Boosted Sales

    The pawn shop needed a simple, scalable way to create quality listings from poor product photos, without hiring a full team. The solution had to:

    • Process low-quality photos
    • Create high-quality images, videos, and descriptions
    • Be fast and easy for staff to use
    • Keep costs under control across hundreds of items
  • AI

    10 % Customer Growth in 30 Days: Automating Customer Chats with AI & WhatsApp

    A fast‑growing print shop was drowning in WhatsApp messages but didn’t have the budget for a full‑time support team. Any fix had to:

    • Auto‑reply to every inquiry — greet customers and keep the conversation moving the moment a message lands
    • Collect specs & files in one thread – no more back‑and‑forth emails for print details or uploads
    • Sync with HubSpot in real time – so staff always work from a single, up‑to‑date record
    • Cost less than a single hire – delivering enterprise‑grade service on a small‑business budget

Frequently asked questions about AI consulting

  • What is AI consulting?

    AI consulting is expert guidance that helps a business decide where artificial intelligence will pay off, then plan, build and run it. A good AI consultancy starts with your goals and your day-to-day bottlenecks, not with a tool. It tells you where AI is worth the spend, where it is not, and what the work costs before you commit, so you back the projects that reach production instead of the ones that stall as a demo.

  • How much does AI consulting cost?

    It depends on scope, and we scope every engagement against a business metric worth moving so you know the expected return before you commit. We work three ways: a fixed-fee strategy and roadmap engagement to find where AI pays off, a fixed-scope pilot to build and prove the first workflow, and an ongoing retainer once you scale. Book a strategy call for a costed plan.

  • What does an AI consultant do?

    An AI consultant helps you decide where AI will pay off, then plans and delivers it. In practice that means auditing your readiness, prioritising the use cases that return the most, building and measuring a first solution, and getting your team ready to run it. We do both the advisory and the build, so the plan and the delivery do not sit with two different companies. For processes that need connecting rather than AI, the same discovery flows into workflow automation consulting.

  • How long before we see results?

    Most first workflows go live within a few weeks, depending on scope. We start with a short strategy phase, then build, test and deploy in clear steps against the metric we agreed, so you see a real result on one workflow before committing to a wider rollout.

  • Will our data stay in the EU and meet GDPR and the EU AI Act?

    Yes. We keep your data in the EU and handle it under GDPR by design, with access controls and human oversight on anything that runs on its own. We are model-agnostic and can run privacy-sensitive workloads on open-source models such as Llama or Mistral on your own infrastructure. We design every system for audit and review, and keep our work ready for the EU AI Act as its obligations apply.

  • Do we need a technical or data team in-house?

    No. We build, deploy and maintain the full system, then train your team to run it, so you do not need AI specialists or data scientists on staff. We keep a person approving anything sensitive that runs on its own, so you stay in control without managing the technology.

  • How is this different from hiring a big consultancy?

    Big firms are built for Fortune 500 rollouts and price to match. We are an EU-based partner that proves the value on one workflow before you scale, builds on the tools you already own rather than a platform we resell, and stays with you to run and improve the system after launch. See the results in our case studies.
