Custom AI Solutions
“Sometimes you need something built. Sometimes you need something fixed. Sometimes you just need someone to tell you the truth.”
The Challenge
Off-the-shelf solutions don’t quite fit. You have a specific problem that requires a tailored approach. But you need partners who’ll tell you honestly whether AI is actually the answer or if there’s a simpler way.
What We Do
We build bespoke AI solutions for specific business challenges. But here’s what makes us different: we’ll tell you if you don’t need AI at all.
Our Process:
1. Problem Definition
What are you actually trying to achieve? We go deep on the business problem, not the perceived solution.
2. Options Analysis
We explore three paths:
- Process improvement: Can better process design solve this?
- Configuration optimisation: Can your existing tools do this with better setup?
- Custom AI solution: Is this genuinely a problem AI should solve?
3. Recommendation & Approval
We present our honest recommendation which might be “don’t build anything new.” If AI is the right answer, we outline the approach.
4. Design & Build
If we’re building, we follow ethical AI principles: explainable, testable, auditable, with humans in the loop.
5. Testing & Refinement
Rigorous testing against real scenarios. Bias testing. Edge case handling. User acceptance.
6. Deployment & Monitoring
Careful rollout. Performance monitoring. Continuous improvement.
Timeline 8-24 weeks typically
