How much does an AI consultant cost?
It depends on the size of the job, so we don’t publish a rate. Most clients start with an AI readiness assessment, which is quoted up front. After that, every piece of work gets a written scope and a fixed quote before anything starts, so you know the cost before you commit.
What’s the difference between an AI consultant and an AI agency?
Broadly, a consultant advises and an agency builds. We do both: we tell you where AI will and won’t help, then build, secure and run what you decide to go ahead with. You deal with the same people throughout.
How can AI help a small business?
Mostly by taking on the repetitive work that eats into the week: answering routine enquiries, reading invoices and forms, drafting quotes and replies, and pulling reports together. The best results come from picking two or three of these jobs and doing them properly, rather than trying AI everywhere at once.
Where should a small business start with AI?
Write down the tasks that take the most time each week and follow the same steps every time. That list usually points straight at the first project. Our AI readiness assessment does this with you and ranks the options by effort and payback.
Will AI replace my staff?
That isn’t how we use it. AI takes on the repetitive parts of a job, and people keep the decisions, the judgement and the customer relationships. In practice your team spends less time on admin and more on the work that needs them.
Do you work outside the West Midlands?
Yes. We’re based in Lichfield and work with businesses anywhere in the UK. Most of the work happens remotely, and we come on-site for workshops, installs and training.
Which AI tools do you use?
Whichever fits the job. That includes Claude, OpenAI’s models, Microsoft Copilot and open-weight models such as Llama, Mistral and Gemma, which we check for licence terms before using. We’re independent, so we aren’t tied to any one provider.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for AI consultancy, including hosting client data where a project needs it.
