The executive who was asked “what about AI?”
You need to answer the board, the partners or the client with a plan, not an opinion. We deliver the assessment and the roadmap within 3 weeks.
AI Consulting for SMBs
Artificial Intelligence consulting for companies that want results, not experiments.
For companies with 50 to 500 employees that know AI can help but have no in-house team to decide where to start. We assess, prioritize by return and implement together with your team.
Who it's for
Three situations where this service makes sense.
The company that has tested but not scaled
Someone ran a proof of concept with ChatGPT or a chatbot, and it stopped there. We turn what worked into a process with an owner, a metric and controls.
The lean team without a data scientist
It makes no sense to hire an AI team just to get started. We do the technical work and leave operations with the people already at the company.
Problems and answers
What the consulting solves
I don't know where to start or how much it costsAssessment of maturity, data and processes, with a list of use cases ranked by return, effort and risk.
I'm afraid of exposing company or customer dataAn architecture that keeps the data under your control (private cloud or self-hosted models) and usage rules aligned with the LGPD.
We already use AI, but each department does it differentlyA single standard for tools, prompts, integrations and owners — the so-called “shadow AI” becomes a process.
I need the team to use it, not just leadershipHands-on training by department (AI Fluency), using your company's real cases, not generic examples.

Frequently asked questions
What SMBs usually ask.
How much does AI consulting cost for an SMB?
The initial assessment is free. The follow-on project is priced by scope, with the fee set before work begins; most first use cases at SMBs fit within an investment of a few weeks of work and pay for themselves in months, not years. You receive the return estimate together with the proposal.
Do I need organized data to get started?
No. Part of the assessment is precisely to evaluate what data exists, where it is and what needs adjusting. Many use cases — customer service, document triage, writing — work well even without a data warehouse.
Do you use ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or your own models?
We are vendor-independent. We choose the model based on the case, the cost and the privacy requirements — including self-hosted models when data cannot leave the company.
How soon will I see results?
The assessment is ready within 2 weeks, and the first use case goes into production 8 to 12 weeks from the start. We work in sprints with deliveries every two weeks so you can see the progress.
