AI consulting: where AI really helps your business

Everyone is talking about AI – but which of it actually helps your business? In a workshop with you and your management, we go through where time is lost today and weigh every idea by effort and benefit. You leave with a roadmap and a concrete first step, not a slide deck full of buzzwords.

What’s included

What an AI roadmap looks like

An excerpt from an example roadmap for a joinery with twelve people – from weighing the ideas to the next 90 days.

Who it’s for

  • Owners and managers who want to know where AI pays off in their own business
  • Businesses receiving offers for AI tools that want to put them in perspective
  • Teams where everyone tries something different with AI – without a shared direction
  • Companies that want to know what’s realistic before they invest

Bringing AI into your business: start with a task, not a tool

Most AI projects in small businesses don’t fail because of the technology but at the very start: someone buys a tool and then looks for a task to use it on. We turn that around. First we look at where time is lost in your day-to-day work – answering the same enquiries, writing quotes, searching folders and inboxes. Only then do we ask whether AI helps there and which solution fits.

A good first task comes up often, is clearly defined and easy to check. Reply templates for customer service are a typical case: a person reads every draft before it goes out, and after a few weeks you can see how much time was saved. Training your own AI model, on the other hand, sounds impressive but is expensive and unnecessary for most businesses. Putting ideas in perspective like this is the real value of consulting.

Weighing ideas also means looking at what isn’t in the vendor’s presentation: which data goes where? Do you need a data processing agreement? Does the use fall under a duty from the EU AI Act? What does the tool cost after the first year? We address these points openly. We don’t replace legal advice, but we show you where you need it.

Because we build AI assistants, chatbots and web apps ourselves, we also know the technology from the implementation side. You don’t have to implement the roadmap with us, though: it’s written so that your team or another provider can work with it. If your team then needs practice with the tools, our AI training is the natural next step.

Frequently asked questions

What does AI consulting involve?

It works out what your business can sensibly use AI for. Together we go through processes, customer service, copy and internal knowledge, weigh each idea by effort and benefit, put data protection and the EU AI Act in context and agree on a first pilot project. The result is a written roadmap, not a slide collection.

How much does AI consulting cost?

An AI potential workshop with management starts at €990 (usually up to €1,790), a full AI roadmap with current-state review and pilot project at €2,190 (usually up to €4,290) – no VAT is charged (Austrian small business exemption). Support during the rollout starts at €390 a month. After the first call you get a fixed price.

What is the difference between AI consulting and AI training?

Consulting is for owners and management and works out what your business should use AI for. Training is for your team and shows how to use AI tools well and safely. Many businesses start with consulting and then train the team for the tasks they chose.

Do we need any experience with AI?

No. Consulting suits businesses that don’t use AI at all yet just as much as those where everyone is already trying things out. We start with your processes, not with the technology.

Do we have to implement the roadmap with you?

No. The roadmap is yours and written so that your team or another provider can work with it. If you like, we implement individual steps – such as a chatbot or a web app – or support the rollout.

How long does it take to get the roadmap?

Usually two to three weeks: an initial call with a short questionnaire, the workshop and then the written roadmap, which we go through with you.

Do you also advise businesses outside Austria?

Yes. The initial call, the workshop and the roadmap review then take place via video call – for businesses across Austria, Germany, Switzerland and beyond. The GDPR and the EU AI Act apply throughout the EU in the same way.
