What does an AI consultant do?+
An AI consultant studies how your business runs, finds the work AI could take over, and recommends tools and an order to build in. Some build a first version. Most hand the plan to your team and leave. Our AI Operator does the same mapping in week one, then builds it and stays to run it.
How much does an AI consultant cost?+
Published rates run $100 to $300 an hour for advisory work, $2,500 to $10,000 for a fixed-scope project, and $1,500 to $8,000 a month for a fractional advisor. Our full-time AI Operator is $3,600 a month, $10,000 a quarter or $36,000 a year, plus a one-time $3,000 placement fee.
What's the difference between an AI consultant and an AI operator?+
A consultant advises, usually for a set number of hours or one project, and leaves your team to build and maintain it. An AI operator is a full-time person inside your business who builds the automations, runs them and fixes them when they break. A consultant is a specialist you rent. An operator is a generalist you keep.
Do I need an AI strategy consultant?+
Only if you have people ready to build and no idea what to build. Most founders we talk to have the opposite problem: plenty of ideas and nobody to ship them. Your AI Operator's week-one audit maps every workflow and gives you a 90-day automation roadmap, so the strategy comes with the person who executes it.
What will my AI Operator build in the first 30 days?+
Five automations, agreed with you in writing during the week-one audit and built on your real tools. Typical first builds are inbox triage with replies drafted in your voice, lead follow-up, call notes straight into your CRM and a Monday KPI report. Each one counts once it has run on real data for 7 days in a row.
How do you vet your AI Operators?+
On a build, not an interview. Every candidate does a 10-day live bootcamp with 40+ hours of training, then a five-day final project scored out of 25. Every deliverable has to be a working public link, and one broken link fails the whole project. Only a score of 20 or more, plus a passed interview, gets placed.
Are you an AI consulting firm?+
No. An AI consulting firm sells hours or projects. We place one full-time AI Operator in your business, trained and tested by us, and stay behind them with a Talent Success Manager, quarterly recertification and Architects On-Call for builds beyond your operator. You get AI consulting services from someone who stays.
Who owns what my AI Operator builds?+
You do. Every workflow, prompt and agent belongs to your business. Your operator documents how each build works, so it survives a sick day. If your operator ever stops being a fit, Lifetime Replacement means we replace them, with a full handover of everything they built.
Is there a long contract?+
No. Month to month at $3,600, or save with the quarterly plan at $10,000 or the annual plan at $36,000. The one-time placement fee is $3,000, refundable under our Matching Guarantee if you don't pick an operator. You see 3 certified profiles within 24 hours of your call.
What do you need from me?+
Access to your tools in the first week, one 60-minute audit call, and a 30-minute review each week. The Five-in-Thirty Guarantee applies when you give tool access within 5 business days of kickoff, attend the audit call, and attend 3 of the 4 weekly reviews. Miss those and the build still happens, just without the credit.
