AI Consulting in Melbourne

We're a Melbourne team of AI consultants, so a lot of our work starts in a room with your people: a leadership briefing, a use-case workshop or hands-on training. From there we write the AI policy, the roadmap and, when you're ready, build the systems ourselves.

Workshops and training

Three ways to start AI consulting in person

Our team is in Melbourne, so these sessions can happen at your office. Each one can stand alone or lead into a roadmap.

For leaders

Leadership AI briefing

A plain-English session on what AI can do for your business, what it costs to run, the risks and the decisions leaders need to make.

Who comes
Executives, boards and business owners.
You leave with
A shared view of where AI fits and the questions to answer next.
For a team

Use-case discovery workshop

We work through your real processes with the people who run them, then score each AI idea on value, effort and risk.

Who comes
A department or cross-functional group.
You leave with
A ranked shortlist of use cases and an owner for the first one.
For everyone

Hands-on AI training

Practical training on the AI tools you already pay for, such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot or Claude, using your own documents and tasks.

Who comes
Any staff who use a computer for their work.
You leave with
Staff using AI safely in their daily work, inside your policy.

After the workshop

From a workshop to a working AI system

A workshop is the start, not the end. This is the path most Melbourne clients take next.

  1. Workshop

    Ideas found and ranked by the people who do the work.

  2. Roadmap and policy

    The shortlist turned into a phased plan, with rules for safe use.

  3. Proof of concept

    The first use case tested on your data in one or two sprints.

  4. Build and train

    We build it, train the team and move to the next idea.

Building is where our Melbourne AI agency work takes over: AI agents, automation and AI apps.

Data rules

What information can go into each tool, and what must never leave your systems.

Human review

Which outputs a person must check before they reach a client, a patient or the public.

Disclosure

Who owns each AI system, how problems are reported, and when the policy is reviewed.

FAQ

AI consultants in Melbourne: questions we get asked

  1. What's the difference between an AI consultant and an AI agency?

    An AI consultant helps you decide where AI fits and how to use it safely: assessments, roadmaps, policy and training. An AI agency builds the systems. Our Melbourne team does both, so the people who run your workshop can deliver what it finds.

  2. Do you also do readiness assessments and AI roadmaps?

    Yes. Many clients start with a workshop, and others start with a readiness assessment or an AI strategy and roadmap. Both rank your use cases by value, effort and risk and end with a first project scoped.

  3. Do you run AI workshops at our office in Melbourne?

    Yes. Our team is based in Melbourne, so leadership briefings, discovery workshops and training can run at your office. We can also run them online for teams in other cities.

  4. What does an AI consultant in Melbourne cost?

    It depends on what you need, so we don't publish a price list. A single workshop is a much smaller piece of work than a roadmap with a policy and a proof of concept. We scope it on a free call and send a written proposal.

  5. Which AI tools do you train staff on?

    Usually the ones you already pay for: ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot or Claude. We train on your own documents and tasks so people can use what they learn the next day.

  6. We've done AI training before and nothing changed. What's different?

    Training only sticks when people have a use case and permission to use AI on it. We pair training with a use-case workshop and an AI policy, so staff leave knowing what to use AI for and what's allowed.

  7. Do we need an AI policy?

    If your staff use any AI tool for work, yes. Without one, people make their own rules about client data. A short policy that names approved tools, data rules and review points removes most of that risk.

  8. Can you build what the workshop finds?

    Yes. We also build AI agents, automation and AI applications in two-week sprints, so the use cases from a workshop can be proven and delivered by the same team.

  9. Do you work with small businesses?

    Yes. We work with small businesses through to large organisations. For a small team, one workshop and one well-chosen use case is often enough to start.
