AI consulting · Australia

Most AI consulting ends with a strategy deck. Ours ends with working automations.

We’re not consultants who advise and leave. We’re your on-demand AI team: every month, something of yours gets built, fixed or improved — inside the tools you already use.

Our point of view

Don’t buy a roadmap. Buy the next working automation.

AI strategy without implementation is just an expensive opinion. Every month you work with us, something ships.

We hunt the workflows that make people groan

The best AI projects aren’t found in strategy workshops. They’re found where your team audibly sighs: the repetitive computer work everyone dreads and nobody was hired to do. That’s where the ROI is.

The questions asked 100 times get answered once

Every business has them: the same lookups, the same explanations, the same requests. We build knowledge bases and automations so the answer takes seconds — without pinging your experts.

ROI is calculated before we build, not after

Every item in the queue gets costed in hours saved before we write a line. If it doesn’t pay for itself, it doesn’t get built — and we’ll tell you so.

A clear fit

This is not AI strategy consulting

What this isn’t

  • AI strategy without implementation
  • A discovery phase billed by the hour
  • A new platform your team has to learn — we embed in the tools you already have
  • A pitch to replace your people

What this is

  • Finding the workflows that make people groan
  • Automating the repetitive work
  • Answering the questions asked 100 times, once
  • Proving the ROI before anything gets built

Who you get

An operator who builds every week

I’m not a strategist who hands you a deck and disappears. I build AI systems for Australian businesses every week — the automations, tools and workflows on this page are the work, not the pitch.

I’ve trained 3,000+ people to use AI, taught at QUT and the University of Amsterdam, and worked with teams at Porsche, Hugo Boss and Unilever, alongside Australian SMBs and corporates across property, construction, mining and professional services.

FAQ

Questions business owners usually ask us

How much does AI consulting cost?+

Our On-Demand AI Team starts from $3,995 per month.

  • AI Team Lite — from $3,995/month. One active project at a time, delivered one after another.
  • AI Team Build — from $5,995/month. Two active projects in parallel, on the priority queue.
  • AI Team Lead — from $9,995/month. Everything in Build, plus a fractional Head of AI accountable for AI across the business.

No hourly billing. You pay a flat monthly fee, rolling month to month with 30 days’ notice — and if a month ships nothing useful, that month is free.

How does the monthly service actually work?+

We keep a list of the automations and tools your business needs, ranked by the hours each one saves.

Each month we build the next one on the list, hand it to your team when it’s working, then start the one after. You always know what’s done, what we’re building now and what’s next.

Lite keeps one project moving at all times. Build runs two side by side, and yours go to the front of the line.

What kinds of things do you build?+

Repetitive jobs that AI can complete for you.

  • Tools that read and shortlist CVs, quotes or applications
  • Report and commentary drafters for month-end
  • Knowledge bases that answer the questions your team answers 100 times
  • Approval workflows that replace paper and email chains
  • Agents that watch an inbox, screen what arrives and file the analysis
  • Simple internal apps where nothing off-the-shelf fits

Some take a few days. Others become internal applications your team uses every day.

Do we need to buy new tools?+

Almost never.

We embed with what you already have: Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, your existing AI licences and the systems your team lives in.

Overloading a team with new platforms is one of the fastest ways to kill adoption. If something genuinely needs a new tool, we’ll say so and explain why.

How do you decide what to build first?+

We start where your team audibly groans.

The best AI projects aren’t found in strategy workshops — they’re the repetitive computer work everyone complains about and the questions that get asked over and over.

Before we build anything, we estimate the hours it saves and what those hours are worth. If the ROI isn’t there, it doesn’t go in the queue.

Who owns what you build?+

You do.

Everything runs in your tools, on your accounts, documented so your team owns it.

Nothing stops working if we stop working together.

How is this different from hiring a consultant or an agency?+

Traditional consulting sells you analysis: a discovery phase, a strategy deck and a roadmap, billed by the hour.

We skip to the part that saves you time. Every month something ships — a working automation, a tool your team uses, a workflow that no longer needs a human.

Strategy still happens, but it happens around working software, not instead of it.

Is there a lock-in contract?+

No.

The AI Team service rolls month to month — cancel with 30 days’ notice.

And if a month ships nothing useful, that month is free. We’d rather earn the right to keep working with you than rely on a contract.

What if we don’t know where to start?+
