  • Something has already been built internally, but you don’t know if it’s the right direction
  • You don’t want to fall behind, but also don’t want to invest in hype that will be gone in a year

Why us?

The big difference from consultants: we can also build it. We’re not advisors who leave a report and disappear. We’re developers with 15+ years of experience who understand what AI can really do, what it costs, and how to implement it. That makes our advice more practical and realistic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference from a management consultant?

We're developers, not consultants. We understand the technology behind AI and can assess what works and what doesn't. Our advice is practical and implementable, not theoretical.

Can you also help with implementation?

Absolutely. If the advice reveals something needs to be built, we can do that too. That makes the transition from advice to implementation seamless.

How independent is your advice?

Completely. We have no partnerships with vendors and don't earn from referrals. Our advice is based on what works best for you, not what benefits us most.

What if we're just starting with AI exploration?

Perfect starting point. We help you understand the possibilities, identify realistic opportunities, and create a practical plan to begin.

How much does it cost?

That depends on the scope. The first conversation is always free. After that, we make a proposal based on your specific question or need.
