Embedded AI consulting

Your team is doing work AI should be doing.

We embed with operating businesses that have repeat ops, support, data-prep, and review workflows — especially local and Pacific Northwest teams that need leverage before another senior hire makes sense. We find one workflow worth automating, ship it into your stack, and leave the runbooks behind.

What changes for you

Outcomes, not deliverables.

If you have a team doing repetitive cognitive work — support tickets, sales prep, ops triage, content review, internal data wrangling — there may be a material line item to compress with the right AI workflow. We size that first, then build only where the math holds.

5–15 hrs/week

targeted per operator. This is a planning range for repetitive work, not a guarantee. The audit validates whether your workflow has enough volume, quality signal, and exception handling to justify the build.

2–3× workflow capacity

when the workflow is a fit. The target applies to the specific support, ops, review, or data workflow we automate — not every team or company-wide output.

Out-execute

bigger competitors. The companies pulling away in 2026 aren't bigger or better-funded — they ship AI faster. We help you ship faster than you can hire to do it.

How we're different

No decks. No frameworks. Working code.

Most AI consultancies sell strategy and hand off implementation to someone else. We don't. The same people who'd be in your codebase wrote our research papers and built the live products you can see below.

Built for your stack, not ours

Whatever you already run on — Salesforce, Notion, Postgres, Airtable, Slack, your homegrown app — we wire AI into that. No platform lock-in. No "rip-and-replace."

Practitioner, not strategist

We ship working production systems, not slide decks. If a recommendation can't be turned into running code in a week, we don't recommend it.

Your team owns it after

Every engagement ends with documentation, runbooks, and training so your existing people run the system after we leave. No retainer trap.
