AI consulting services from a firm that builds and runs what it recommends

Our AI consultants scope one workflow with you, build it inside your systems on your own data, and keep it running after launch. GoKickflip's content pipeline was built and shipped in 30 days.

Jason, our COO, runs the call and scopes the workflow with you.

Most AI projects stall between the demo and production

80%

of AI projects fail, roughly double the rate of IT projects without AI

Source: RAND Corporation, The Root Causes of Failure for AI Projects (2024)

Each stall has a cause, and each cause has an engineering answer we build in from the first week.

The pilot only ever saw sample data

95% of generative AI pilots deliver no measurable P&L impact. We build against your real systems and data, inside your environment, from the first week.

Nobody owned it after the demo

46% of AI proofs of concept are scrapped before production. The team that builds your workflow runs it after launch, with retries and alerts from the first run.

Nobody set a baseline

We record execution volume, error rates, hours spent and cost per transaction before launch, then report the same numbers after it.

The rollout stopped at the software

We train the people who use the workflow and name an owner for each step before go-live, so it becomes part of how your team works.

What our AI consulting services cover

AI advisory services and the engineering and adoption work behind them, from one team that works as an extension of yours.

Scope

A scope you can sign

One workflow, the systems it touches and what it will take, written down and agreed before you commit.

Your cloud

Built where your data already lives

Self-hosted n8n on your AWS, Azure or GCP account, behind your own auth. Your data stays where it is.

Integration

Connected to the systems you run

Agents read and write your CRM, ERP and databases through their APIs, with the permissions your people already have.

Models

The right model for each task

Large models from providers such as OpenAI and Anthropic for reasoning, and smaller open-weight models where speed and cost per call matter more.

Monitoring

Watched from the first run

Error handling, automatic retries, and Slack and email alerts, so your team hears about a failed step as it happens.

Adoption

Used by your team, owned by your team

Training for the people who use it, a named owner for each step, and weekly sprints after launch that you direct.

One partner answers for each stage

The same team carries your workflow from the first call to the system running in production, so nothing is lost in a handoff. See how we work

    Jason, COO

    Scope

    One workflow, the systems it touches and what it will take, agreed before you commit. Owen joins the first calls until you are onboarded.

    • A written scope: workflow, systems and data
    • What it will take, before you sign
    • A proof of concept first, where the risk sits in your data

    Maciej, CTO

    Build

    Built against your real data, in your environment, as production software from the first week.

    • Self-hosted n8n in your cloud
    • The model that suits each task
    • Your data stays where it is

    Integrate

    Into production behind your auth, your governance and your monitoring, with your team trained on it.

    • Runs behind your own auth
    • Alerts and logs to your team
    • Your people trained on the system

    Run and improve

    Watched, fixed and extended in weekly sprints by the engineers who built it.

    • Weekly sprints that you direct
    • A report of what each workflow saves
    • The next use case, scoped with you

What every build leaves you with

Every build comes with the same five answers: what you receive, who builds it, where it runs, how it is priced and who runs it after launch.

Cost and compliance, settled before the build

What AI consulting costs

How pricing works

Every build starts with a written scope: the workflow, the systems it touches and what it will take. You see the cost before you sign, and each milestone is defined as working software. If you start with the AI Audit, its fee is credited toward your first build.

Compliance built into the pipeline

FTI Consulting reports that Colorado's AI Act (SB 24-205) requires disclosure and impact assessments for high-risk AI systems, California's AB 2013 requires training data transparency, and Texas TRAIGA sets penalties of $10,000 to $200,000 per violation. We treat those as engineering requirements:

  • Builds aligned with the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and ISO/IEC 42001
  • Audit trails and access controls in the pipeline from the first sprint
  • Data kept in the region you choose, for teams under GDPR

What teams ask before they hire an AI consultant

Ask us something else

Do you offer AI advisory services on their own?

Yes, through the AI Audit: eight phases across strategy, operations, data and systems, ending in a ranked 90-day roadmap you own. Every other engagement ends in software running in your environment, maintained by the engineers who built it.

What does an AI consultant do on a build?

Our AI consultants find the workflow worth automating, write the scope, build it on n8n inside your cloud and run it after launch. Jason runs the first call and the scope, and the engineers who build your workflow stay on it in production.

How much does it cost to hire an AI consultant?

Every build is priced in a written scope before you sign, with each milestone defined as working software. If you start with the AI Audit, it costs $10,000 to $100,000 depending on scope, takes 4 to 8 weeks, and its fee is credited toward your first build.

How fast will we see results?

We scope the workflow and tell you the timeline before you commit. For a sense of pace, GoKickflip's pipeline was built and shipped in 30 days and saves an estimated $358K a year at equal volume.

Does our data have to leave our environment?

No. We build on self-hosted n8n in your cloud, behind your own auth, and agents read your systems through their APIs with the permissions your people already have.

Which models do you use?

The one that suits the task. GoKickflip's pipeline runs about 33 agent executions across six or more models for each article, and the routing is part of what we maintain.

Why n8n instead of Zapier or Make?

Self-hosted n8n runs in your own cloud, so operational data stays off third-party servers, and you are not billed per task as you are on Zapier. See our n8n agency page for what we build on it.

What happens after the first workflow is live?

The team that built it runs it: monitoring, fixes and the next use case, in weekly sprints that you direct.
