AI AdvisorySomewhere to ask, whenever you need it

For companies that do not need a full consulting engagement, but do want somewhere to turn when something comes up. A monthly retainer that gives you a place to ask questions about generative AI and about how to move things forward internally. We start with a free conversation about what is troubling you now.

Issues

What we help resolve

“There is no one internally to ask.”
When something goes wrong with generative AI, there is nobody who can judge whether the approach is right.

“We don’t need someone alongside us full time.”
Full consulting feels excessive, but a point of contact for difficult moments would help.

“We’re not sure our approach is still current.”
Tools change quickly and we want to check that what we are doing still holds.

If it turns out that closer, hands-on support is needed, you can move across to AI Consulting.

Point

How it differs from consulting
You can just ask

Whenever something is unclear, we take the question as it comes. Where consulting is about building things together, the advisory service is about having someone to ask when you get stuck.

Monthly or more

A regular session at least once a month to share the situation and take stock of what is causing trouble. The frequency is adjusted to what you need.

Insurance, in effect

Minimal in normal times, dependable when it matters. If dedicated support becomes necessary, you can move to AI Consulting.

About

What AI advisory actually involves

AI advisory means having an outside point of contact you can consult whenever something comes up around AI. It is aimed at companies that do not need a dedicated consultant, but where work stops each time a judgement is required.

Generative AI moves quickly, and keeping up with it in-house is a burden. With an advisory arrangement, the job of keeping up sits outside, and you receive what you need to decide only when you need it.

Advisory and consulting differ in depth of involvement. Advisory centres on answering questions; full support where we work alongside you, hands on, is the scope of consulting.

Topics

What can be asked

The kinds of questions it covers

  • Tool selection and introduction — which to use, and whether to sign now
  • Usage and prompts — when the output is not what you expected
  • Internal rules and safety — where the line sits on what may be entered
  • Keeping up with developments — assessing a new tool when it appears

Small questions — the ones where you wonder whether it is worth asking — are exactly what this is for.

Style

How it is typically used

Minimal in normal times, there when you need it

  • Regular sessions from once a month. The frequency adjusts to how much there is to discuss
  • Between sessions, you can raise things as they come up
  • The line for what information may be entered can also be discussed. A non-disclosure agreement is concluded where needed
  • If hands-on support becomes necessary, it can be switched to AI consulting

FAQ

Frequently asked questions
What kind of service is AI advisory?

It gives you an outside point of contact to consult whenever something comes up around AI — choosing tools, usage and prompts, points to watch when using them internally, assessing new tools, and AI questions generally.

What is the difference between AI advisory and AI consulting?

Advisory is closer to insurance: somewhere to ask when something comes up, centred on answering questions. Consulting works alongside you, hands on, changing one piece of work each month. Switching between them partway is possible.

Can we use it with no AI knowledge at all?

Yes. The service assumes there is no one in-house who knows the area well. It avoids jargon and explains in plain terms each time.

How often can we consult?

Regular sessions start from once a month, and the frequency adjusts to how much there is to discuss. Between sessions you can raise things as they come up.

Will you also do the work itself?

Advisory centres on answering questions. Where hands-on support is needed to move things forward together, we point you to the consulting service.
