AI consultation — fixed-fee workshop and written plan before you build

  • Fixed-fee consultation — not an open-ended sales call
  • Honest chatbot vs agent vs RAG recommendation
  • Optional quote for full AI agents, RAG, or hire AI developers

AI development with a plan — not a demo-first pitch

Looking for AI consultation, AI agents, or RAG development without betting the budget on the wrong pattern? Our fixed-fee readiness workshop maps your use case to the right slice — support chatbot, in-product copilot, retrieval search, or tool-using agent — with guardrails, evals, and integration notes for your stack.

Full service pages: AI consultation details, AI agents & chatbots, RAG development, and hire AI developers.

Clear entry offer

Two points teams ask about before approving AI spend.

Fixed-fee workshop + written plan

The consultation covers a kickoff, working session, and written deliverables — pattern recommendation, architecture sketch, risk review, and phased milestones. Scoped in writing before you pay.

No obligation to build with us

Most clients continue when the plan is clear, but the consultation stands alone. Full implementation is quoted separately if you want agents, RAG, or ongoing AI development velocity.

When an AI consultation is the right first step

Common situations we workshop every month.

Chatbot vs agent confusion

Leadership wants “AI everywhere” but no one agrees on chatbot, RAG, or autonomous agent scope.

Docs and tickets are scattered

Support and ops knowledge lives in Confluence, Zendesk, and Slack — retrieval quality is the real blocker.

Failed internal POC

A demo worked in a notebook but hallucinated, leaked context, or could not call your APIs safely.

Budget approval needs a plan

Finance wants a written roadmap, eval approach, and first ROI slice before funding a full build.

PII and escalation risk

Legal or compliance needs human-in-the-loop paths, data boundaries, and tool-approval rules documented.

You need builders, not slideware

You want senior engineers who ship Django, Laravel, Next.js, and production RAG — not a generic vendor deck.

AI consultation FAQ

Click a question to expand.

Yes. The AI consultation is a fixed-fee engagement with workshop time and a written plan — not a generic demo or open-ended scoping call. You receive deliverables you can share internally for budget approval.
No. The consultation stands alone. Most clients continue when the plan is clear, but there is no obligation. Full implementation for agents, RAG, or ongoing AI development is quoted separately if you proceed.
We map your use case to the smallest shippable slice that proves ROI. Many teams do not need an autonomous agent on day one — the written plan calls out what to build first and what to defer, with an honest fit check.
Sample docs or tickets, a description of users and workflows, any existing bot or RAG attempt, and who owns approval on tool actions. NDA-friendly collaboration is available when materials are sensitive.
We primarily work with product and ops teams in the United States, Canada, and Europe, with English-first communication and overlap hours where needed.
Most quote replies go out within one business day. Consultation timing is typically about one week from kickoff to written readout once scope is confirmed in writing.
Yes. If the plan fits, you can engage us for AI agents and chatbots, dedicated RAG development, or hire AI developers for ongoing velocity alongside your product team.
