Explore AI consulting →Practical AI, without the hype
AI consulting for SMEs is hands-on help figuring out where AI actually fits your business — and then building it. We work with small and mid-sized companies in Marin County, the Bay Area, and remotely nationwide, almost always starting with a fixed-fee readiness assessment so you know your exact spend before any building begins. The goal is concrete, believable wins — saving your team a few hours a week on repetitive work, faster routine turnaround, fewer dropped balls — not a magical overnight transformation.

We start with a fixed-fee readiness assessment so you know your exact spend before any building. If a $30/month tool solves your problem, we’ll tell you — instead of selling you a project.
Real, measurable results — minus the hype.

Implementation
Once the proposal is approved, we immediately begin the implementation phase and get to work building.
Optimization
Many deliverables from the implementation phase can be analyzed and improved over the long term, compounding results.
“You can trust that each dollar spent with our agency is an investment that will be returned to your business multiple times over in the long-term. We focus on strategies that increase your bottom line and gauge our success strictly on whether we've achieved that goal. Our methodology is simple: data guides the decision-making process, and a strong focus on continuous analysis allows us to hone in on what works for your business.”
