AI consulting · AI workshops

AI consulting and workshops for teams that actually ship.

We help startups, and single teams inside larger companies, work out what is genuinely worth building with AI — then we help build it, and we teach your people to keep it running without us.

First call is 30 minutes, no charge. We will tell you plainly if you do not need us.

01 — The actual problem

Most teams don't have an AI problem. They have a workflow problem that AI made visible.

Models are commodity now. What is not commodity is the discipline around them: who reviews generated code, how context reaches the agent, what happens when a run costs four hundred euros, and whether anyone can explain last Tuesday's incident.

  • Symptom 01

    Agent code in production, nobody accountable

    Team ship code. Nobody can say why there is a new column in the database.

  • Symptom 02

    Speed went up, quality went sideways

    Throughput is genuinely better, but review load moved onto two senior engineers who are now the bottleneck and the safety net at once.

  • Symptom 03

    Token spend nobody forecast

    Inference cost is an unowned line item. No budgets, no personal attribution, no idea whether the spend buys anything measurable.

  • Symptom 04

    Pilots that never land

    Six impressive demos, zero of them inside a workflow that a customer pays for. The gap is integration and ownership, not model quality.

02 — Services

Three ways to work with us. Pick the one that fits.

Consulting or workshop, quoted up front and scoped in writing. No hourly billing, no open-ended retainer you are afraid to cancel.

Fixed scope

AI Readiness & Opportunity Audit

Two weeks, one team, one honest document. Where AI actually pays off in your product, what it will cost to run, and what to fix before you build anything.

  • Codebase, data and delivery-flow review
  • AI setup guideline
  • Risk, data & access boundary map
  • Cost model with real token budgets

Most common

AI Advisory & Build

Two to eight days a month alongside your team. We sequence the use cases, design the workflow and architecture, setup agents where it counts, and leave behind standards your team keeps.

  • Sequence what is worth building next
  • Setup the AI harness, agent files and suggest project architecture
  • Ship the first feature with your engineers
  • Guardrails, review policy and evaluation harness
  • Vendor and model choice for the best results

Per session

AI Lectures & Workshops

Ninety minutes to get a whole room onto the same page, or a hands-on day where your team builds something real. On site or remote, in English or Czech.

  • Lecture, 60–90 minutes, questions included
  • Half-day and full-day hands-on workshops
  • Tracks for engineers and mixed teams
  • Written notes and a reading list afterwards

From €1,800 · per session

Book a lecture

Indicative pricing for a Czech or EU-based team of five. We adjust scope, not the hourly rate — there isn't one.

03 — Lectures & workshops

Bring a whole team up to speed in an afternoon.

The fastest way to find out whether we are useful is to put us in front of your team for ninety minutes. Not a vendor pitch: a working lecture on what these systems actually do, where they fail, and what it takes to run one you can trust.

Talks we give

  1. 01

    Coding agents in a real codebase

    What genuinely speeds up, what quietly regresses, and how review load moves. Instruction files under version control, permissions, sandboxing.

  2. 02

    Evaluations with AI

    Building the small regression set your engineers maintain themselves — and gating a deploy on a exact check instead of a feeling.

  3. 03

    Cost and latency engineering

    Per-team attribution, hard caps, cheap-model routing, caching — and the point at which self-hosting open-weight models actually pays.

Any of these can be cut to a 45-minute version, or combined into a half-day workshop with your own codebase on the screen.

04 — What we deliver

Concrete artefacts, not AI strategy decks.

Every consulting engagement leaves files in your repository: prompts under version control, evaluation suites, review checklists. Things your team can argue with and improve long after the invoice is paid.

Agent toolchain setup

Repository instruction files, agent permission boundaries, and a shared config your whole team inherits.

Guardrails & review policy

What an agent may merge unattended, what always needs a human, and how generated code is treated differently in CI. Written down, enforced automatically.

Evaluation harnesses

A regression suite for code changes, so "it feels better" becomes a check you can gate a deploy on.

Cost & latency budgets

Per-team attribution, hard caps, model usage, caching and memory.

Context management

What the agent should read, what it should, and what it should never see. Using memory for continuous improvement.

Edge-tech watch

A short monthly note on what actually changed in agent tooling, run against your codebase — so you adopt deliberately instead of by conference slide.

05 — Fit

We are built for two shapes of client. Nothing larger.

Scope discipline is the whole product. If your problem needs forty people and a programme office, we are the wrong vendor and we will say so on the first call.

Fit A

A seed or Series A startup

four to thirty people, one or two engineers, a product that real customers use, and a founder making architecture decisions at midnight. You need judgement now and someone to teach the team as it grows.

  • You are about to make expensive choices
  • You want AI working in the product, not in a slide deck
  • You need a senior pair of eyes weekly
Fit B

One team inside your company

A platform, data or product team of three to twelve with a real budget and a mandate to move faster. We work inside that team's boundaries and leave your enterprise AI programme alone.

  • Your team is allowed to choose its own tooling
  • You have a sponsor who can unblock decisions
  • You want one team demonstrably better in a quarter
Not a fit

Company-wide AI rollouts, model training or fine-tuning at scale, procurement and compliance programmes. Those are legitimate problems — they are just not ours, and pretending otherwise wastes your budget.

06 — How it runs

From first call to the first feature in production.

  1. 01

    Intro call

    Thirty minutes. You describe the team and the blocker; we say whether we are useful. Often it ends in a referral — or in a lecture booking instead of a project.

    Week 0

  2. 02

    Short diagnostic

    We read the code, sit in your standups, and interview three or four engineers. Output is a one-page problem statement you can argue with.

    Weeks 1–2

  3. 03

    Build the baseline

    Toolchain, guardrails, evaluation harness, cost visibility. Unglamorous, foundational, and the reason later wins hold instead of evaporating.

    Weeks 3–6

  4. 04

    Ship, then step back

    One workflow reaches production with tests and runbooks. We reduce days per month as your team takes full ownership. We stay in touch if you need help in the future.

    Quarter 2 onward

07 — Questions

Before you email us.

Still unsure? Ask directly — the first call costs nothing and we answer awkward questions properly.

Ask a question
What does an AI consultant actually do week to week?

A mix of use-case triage, architecture review, hands-on pairing, and writing down the decisions your team keeps re-litigating. On a two-day month that is one deep working session and one review. On eight days it looks like a part-time senior engineer who also owns the roadmap conversation.

How is this different from a big consultancy or an AI vendor?

Big firms sell a programme and a platform; we sell a short engagement and then leave. We resell nothing, take no vendor commissions, and measure success by how quickly you stop needing us. You keep the artefacts either way.

Can we book a lecture without hiring you for a project?

Yes — a lecture or workshop is a standalone booking, and it is how a good number of longer engagements start. No prerequisite and no follow-up sales sequence. If the ninety minutes were useful, we will talk about the next step; if not, you have still had a useful afternoon.

Which models and vendors do you work with?

Whatever fits and is the current best, including self-hosted open-weight models where data residency or cost demands it. You should never be locked in by our recommendation.

Do you work remotely or on site?

Remote by default, with one on-site day per month in Czechia where it helps — whiteboards still beat video for architecture. Lectures and workshops we deliver remotely, on site anywhere in Czechia when that suits the team better. Custom travel agreement is possible.

We have not started with AI at all. Is it too early to talk?

That is the cheapest moment to have the conversation. The first win is usually deciding what not to build, and a two-week audit is designed for exactly that stage. An introductory lecture is a low-commitment way to get a whole team asking better questions.

09 — Contact

Tell us what is stuck.

One message, a few lines, no form ceremony. We reply within one business day — usually with either a call slot or an honest "not a fit".
