AI Consulting That Ends With Working Software
Most AI consulting firms hand you a strategy deck and wish you luck. We hand you a working prototype — in 15 days.
We help growth-stage companies figure out where AI creates real business value, then we build it. No months-long discovery phases. No PowerPoint deliverables. Working software.
Why Most AI Consulting Engagements Fail
You've seen the pattern. A big consulting firm runs a 3-month discovery phase. Delivers a 60-page strategy document. Recommends hiring a team to execute it. Sends a six-figure invoice.
Six months later, you still don't have a single AI feature in production.
The problem isn't the strategy. It's the gap between strategy and execution.
We close that gap. Our AI consulting services combine strategic guidance with hands-on engineering. You get clarity on what to build and a working prototype that proves it works.
AI Consulting Services — Our Approach
AI Feasibility Assessment (Free)
A 30-minute call where we evaluate your use case, data readiness, and technical requirements. You'll leave with a clear yes/no on whether AI is the right approach — and if yes, what the first sprint should look like.
AI Sprint — Prove It in 15 Days ($9,000)
We don't write proposals for months. We build a working AI prototype in 15 days that demonstrates real value for your specific use case. You'll have something you can demo to your board, your team, or your customers.
Strategic Roadmap & Architecture Review
Based on what we learn in the sprint, we deliver a technical roadmap: what to build next, what infrastructure you need, what it will cost, and how to sequence it. Grounded in working code, not theory.
Ongoing AI Partnership
Need continued development? We provide dedicated senior engineering teams that scale with your AI roadmap. Month-to-month, no long-term contracts.
AI Consulting Across the Full Stack
LLM & Generative AI Strategy
Which model to use, build vs. buy, RAG vs. fine-tuning, prompt engineering best practices, cost optimization, and production deployment strategies.
Agentic AI & Workflow Automation
Where autonomous AI agents create real ROI. We identify manual processes worth automating and build the agents to handle them.
AI Product Strategy
How to add AI features to your existing product without rebuilding everything. Feature prioritization, user experience design for AI interactions, and build/buy/integrate decisions.
Data Readiness & Architecture
Is your data ready for AI? We assess your data infrastructure, recommend architectures (vector databases, data pipelines, embedding strategies), and build what's needed.
AI Infrastructure & MLOps
Model deployment, monitoring, versioning, and cost management. We help you run AI in production reliably and affordably.

| Outcome | Recommendations | Validated proof of concept |
AI Consulting for Companies Ready to Build
Product Leaders at SaaS Companies
You know AI is the next competitive advantage for your product but don't have in-house ML talent. We help you identify the right features, validate them fast, and build them into your product.
CTOs & VP Engineering
You need a technical partner who speaks your language — not a consulting firm that needs your engineers to explain your codebase. We review your architecture, recommend AI integration points, and build alongside your team.
Founders Building AI-Native Products
You have a vision for an AI-first product and need engineering firepower to ship it. We help you move from concept to funded MVP in weeks, not quarters.
Start With a Free Feasibility Call
30 minutes. No pitch deck. We'll evaluate your use case, tell you honestly if AI is the right approach, and outline what a 15-day sprint would look like.

AI Consulting Services — FAQ
How is this different from McKinsey or Deloitte's AI consulting?
They deliver recommendations. We deliver working software. Our consulting engagements produce functional prototypes, not slide decks. And we cost a fraction of what enterprise firms charge.
Do you offer AI strategy without development?
Yes, but we find that strategy without execution is where most companies get stuck. Our recommended approach: start with a 15-day sprint, then use what you learn to inform the broader strategy.
What industries do you specialize in?
We work across SaaS, fintech, healthcare tech, and operations-heavy mid-market businesses. The common thread is companies with real data and a clear business problem that AI can solve.
Can you work with our existing engineering team?
Absolutely. Many of our consulting engagements are collaborative — we work alongside your engineers, share architectural decisions, and transfer knowledge throughout.
What does a typical engagement look like?
Most clients start with a free feasibility call, move into a 15-day AI Sprint ($9,000), and then decide whether to continue with a production build or ongoing partnership.
