Diagnosis and application
Practical artificial intelligence consulting
Before choosing a tool, understand where AI may help, which data is involved, and what the smallest useful test would be.
Who it is for
For professionals, small businesses, and teams with a need broader than a one-off question: productivity, content, research, support, documentation, automation, or tool selection.
- A repetitive process that takes time or creates errors.
- Several tools that do not work well together.
- An AI idea without a defined scope, owner, or success criterion.
- A decision between a manual process, automation, AI, or custom software.
How it works
Consulting starts from the real process, not from a list of tools.
- Clarify the goal, context, constraints, and people involved.
- Map data, access, exceptions, and risks.
- Compare options, including the possibility of not using AI.
- Define priorities, owners, and validation criteria.
- Move to a prototype or implementation only when it makes sense.
The result may be different from the first idea
The recommendation may be an improved manual process, an existing tool, an automation, a web application, or a phased combination. Implementation is not assumed before the problem, expected value, and limits are clear.
Safety, privacy, and decisions
The diagnosis identifies personal data, confidential information, access, and higher-risk decisions before any test. Examples and prototypes use invented or anonymised data whenever possible, and important results keep human review.
When to start with coaching
If you have one concrete task or lack confidence with the first step, one-to-one coaching is the better starting point. Consulting is for understanding a process, comparing options, or planning a professional application.
Frequently asked questions
Does consulting include implementation?
It can lead to a later implementation phase, but it starts with diagnosis. The proposal separates analysis, prototype, and implementation.
Do you only work with companies?
No. Independent professionals and individual projects with a specialised need can also request an assessment.
Do I need to choose a tool before the conversation?
No. Tool selection is part of the analysis, and the conclusion may be that a non-AI solution is more appropriate.
