Every week there is a new AI tool promising to transform your business. The reality is that most of them will not. Some will genuinely save you time and money. Others will waste both. The hard part is knowing the difference before you commit.
Solve Studio provides practical AI consultancy for startups and SMEs in Brighton, London and across the UK. We help you cut through the noise, evaluate what is actually relevant to your operations and build a roadmap for adopting AI in a way that delivers real results.
What We Do
We start by understanding your business operations in detail. Not just what you do but how you do it, where time is wasted and where decisions get bottlenecked. Then we evaluate which AI tools and approaches would genuinely improve things and which are not worth the effort.
We test tools ourselves before recommending them. We do not work from vendor marketing materials. If a tool does not deliver on its promises in our testing, we tell you. If a simple script would do the job better than an expensive AI platform, we tell you that too.
What You Get
A clear assessment of where AI can help your business and where it cannot. A prioritised roadmap for implementation, starting with the highest impact opportunities. Specific tool recommendations backed by our own testing. An honest evaluation of costs, risks and expected returns. And if you want us to implement the recommendations, we can do that too.
Who This Is For
Business owners who know AI is relevant but do not know where to start. CTOs and technical leads evaluating AI tools for their teams. Growing companies that want to adopt AI strategically rather than reactively. If you are tired of the hype and want practical advice from people who actually build with these tools every day, we can help.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my business needs AI?
AI is worth exploring if your business has repetitive tasks consuming significant staff time, processes that involve classifying or extracting information from documents, customer interactions that could be partially automated, or large datasets that could reveal patterns for better decision making. Not every business needs AI and we will tell you honestly if simpler solutions would serve you better.
What does an AI consultancy engagement look like?
A typical engagement starts with a discovery workshop where we map your operations and identify opportunities. We then research and test potential tools, build a prioritised roadmap and deliver a clear recommendation document. For most SMEs this takes 2 to 4 weeks. We can then move into implementation if you want us to build the solutions we recommend.
How much does AI consultancy cost?
A focused AI assessment typically costs between 2,000 and 5,000 pounds. A comprehensive strategy engagement including tool evaluation and roadmap development ranges from 5,000 to 15,000 pounds. Implementation costs are quoted separately based on the specific solutions recommended.
