What does an AI consultant do?
An AI consultant helps organizations understand where artificial intelligence can improve existing processes, create new capabilities, or support better decisions. That includes evaluating workflows, identifying opportunities, recommending technologies, and planning implementation.
At SLIDEFACTORY, consulting and development work together. We can help define the strategy, build the solution, and support it after launch.
What’s the difference between an AI agency, an AI consultant, and an AI development company?
These terms describe different parts of the work. AI consulting focuses on strategy and identifying opportunities, while AI development involves designing, building, and integrating the technology.
As a Portland AI agency, SLIDEFACTORY brings those capabilities together, combining strategic thinking with software engineering, product development, and ongoing support.
How much does AI consulting cost in Portland?
Our AI Opportunity Assessment starts at $1,500 and includes discovery, workflow evaluation, and prioritized implementation recommendations.
Custom AI development and integration projects are scoped separately based on their complexity, required integrations, and business requirements.
Can you integrate ChatGPT or Claude with our business systems?
Yes. We develop integrations that connect AI tools with existing business applications, internal documents, customer relationship management systems, and operational workflows.
We evaluate the available APIs, security requirements, and how people will use the system before recommending an approach.
How do you handle sensitive business data?
We establish data access, security, and ownership requirements during planning. AI integrations can be configured to operate within accounts your organization controls, with appropriate permissions and human review.
The specific approach depends on your systems, information sensitivity, and business requirements.
Can AI automate workflows across multiple business systems?
Yes. AI agents and automation can connect systems, retrieve information, process documents, prepare reports, and coordinate activities across existing business tools.
We design workflows around the organization’s processes, including where people need to review or approve results.
Do you provide AI consulting for small businesses?
Yes. We work with small and midsize businesses to identify practical applications of AI, from workflow automation and document processing to reporting and internal knowledge tools.
Our approach considers the team’s size, existing technology, and ability to maintain the solution.
What is an AI readiness assessment?
An AI readiness assessment evaluates the workflows, data, systems, and organizational considerations that influence whether an AI project will succeed.
Our AI Opportunity Assessment identifies practical opportunities, potential constraints, and recommended next steps before committing to implementation.
Can we start with a small AI pilot?
Yes. A focused pilot can be a useful way to test an idea against real business requirements before expanding it.
We define what the pilot needs to accomplish, what data and integrations it requires, and how success will be evaluated.
Can AI help field service and contracting businesses?
Yes. Field service organizations can use AI to support job documentation, scheduling, reporting, customer communication, and coordination between operational systems.
We evaluate how AI can work with existing software and where human review is needed, particularly for workflows involving customers, employees, or financial decisions.
Can we meet with your AI consultants in person?
Yes. Our studio is located at 4520 SE Belmont Street in Portland, Oregon. We work with businesses throughout the Portland metro area and can arrange working sessions at our studio or a client’s office.
