AI consultant who builds what he recommends
I help businesses find where AI pays off, then implement it: agents, automations, chatbots and AI features in your product. Strategy and engineering from one person, so nothing gets lost in hand-over.
AI consulting services
- AI strategy consulting: map your processes, find the highest-ROI opportunities and build a phased roadmap. Larger engagements become a fractional Chief AI Officer role.
- AI implementation: integrate LLMs into your product, CRM, helpdesk or internal tools, with evaluation, monitoring and cost control from day one.
- AI automation: replace repetitive work across sales, support, finance and operations.
- AI agents: autonomous assistants that use your tools and data, with human-in-the-loop where it matters.
- RAG chatbots: answers grounded in your own documents, for customers or staff.
- Private AI: self-hosted LLMs for companies that can't send data to third-party APIs.
AI consulting for small businesses
You don't need a data-science team to benefit from AI. For small businesses I focus on a few quick wins that pay for themselves within months: lead qualification, customer-support triage, document processing, proposal and content drafting, and reporting. These usually run on tools you already pay for plus a small amount of custom glue.
Why an independent consultant rather than a big firm
- You work with the person doing the work. No partner pitches followed by junior delivery.
- Production experience. I run AI products with real users, so I know where demos break in production.
- Vendor-neutral. I'm not reselling a platform. I'll tell you when a $20/month tool beats a custom build.
- Delivery capacity when you need it. My team at GenAI Labs can scale from one engineer to a full pod.
How we start
- Book an intro call and tell me what you're trying to improve.
- Assessment: a short discovery, or the full AI readiness assessment.
- Pilot: one use case built, measured and rolled out.
- Scale: the next use cases, plus training and governance.

Frequently asked questions
What does an AI consultant do?
An AI consultant helps a business identify where artificial intelligence can save time, cut costs or create revenue, then plans and often implements those solutions, from strategy and vendor selection to building agents, automations and AI features.
How much does an AI consultant cost?
Rates vary widely by experience and scope. Many engagements are either a fixed-price assessment or pilot, or a monthly retainer. I agree a fixed scope and price after the first call, so there are no open-ended hourly bills.
Is AI worth it for a small business?
Usually, if you start with a specific, repetitive and measurable process. The best first projects automate something your team does every day and pay back within one to three months.
Do you only advise, or do you build too?
Both. I write the strategy and then build it with my team at GenAI Labs, or I review and guide your own developers.
Is our data safe?
Yes. I design for data minimisation, use enterprise API terms that exclude training on your data, and can deploy fully self-hosted models when data can't leave your infrastructure.
