Applied AI consultingSan Francisco / Dubai

AI moves every week. Keeping up with it is our job, not yours.

Training, strategy, and hands-on implementation, from a team that uses these tools in its own work every day. We don't sell anyone's platform; we recommend what fits.

01 · The problem

Most organizations know AI matters.
They don't know what to do about it.

The hard part isn't the hype. It's knowing which tools matter to you, which to ignore, what to do first, and how to do it well.

That judgment is most of the work. We teach your team to do it, work through it with you, or do it for you. Either way, it's our daily job.

03 · Why us

We use AI in our own work every day. That's the whole pitch.

Applied, not theoretical.

We're a team of working practitioners with experience across San Francisco tech companies. Our perspective on AI is grounded in what we've actually built, used, and tested, not in slide decks.

Current because it has to be.

We're always evaluating AI models and tools. When a new release changes the math on an engagement, we know within days. You shouldn't have to hire a consultancy that's always a few months behind.

Vendor-neutral, by necessity.

We're not paid by any AI provider. Our recommendations come from real evaluations of what's actually shipping across the major models, open-weights, and agents. They change the moment something better lands.

04 · Selected work

Three engagements. Where each one landed.

A written proposal with deliverables, timeline, and price. You approve it before any work starts.

STEP 03
