Clients

Built on experience.

SLIDEFACTORY has worked with more than 60 clients since 2018, bringing strategy, design, and engineering together across a wide range of projects.

Use Cases

Where our AI consulting services start.

These are the jobs AI handles well in most businesses. Each one connects to software your team already uses. If you are not sure where to begin, an AI readiness assessment maps your workflows and ranks the options by value and effort.

  • Assistants and chatbots.

    Answer customer and staff questions from your own documents and policies, with a handoff to a person when the answer is not there.

  • Document and data processing.

    Pull details from forms, intake documents, invoices and email into the systems you already use, with exceptions flagged for review.

  • Reporting and analytics.

    Insyght Studio, an AI platform we built, connects to Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads, analyzes the data and delivers reports by email.

  • Sales and marketing automation.

    Draft follow-ups, sort inbound leads and prepare content for a person to approve before it goes out.

  • Recommendations.

    Our machine-learning engine for STAR At Home matches families and educators with learning resources inside the app they already use.

  • Internal knowledge search.

    Let staff search policies, past projects and support history in plain language, with answers that point to the source document.

A Practical Place to Begin

Start with a plan. Build what makes sense.

You don’t need to know which AI platform, model, or system you want to build before getting started. We can help identify the opportunities, understand the requirements, and determine what comes next.

Our Approach

Good AI starts with better thinking.

Every project begins with understanding the work. From there, we determine what needs to be tested, built, integrated, and supported.

  1. 01

    Assess

    Review your goals, workflows, and existing systems to identify opportunities, requirements, and a practical starting point.

  2. 02

    Pilot

    Test the proposed approach in a controlled environment, evaluate its usefulness, and identify what needs to change before broader use.

  3. 03

    Build & Integrate

    Develop the solution and connect it to your existing tools, data, and business processes.

  4. 04

    Support & Improve

    Review performance, make improvements, and help your team incorporate the system into its everyday work.

Your Systems. Your Control.

AI that works on your terms.

Governance and data readiness are part of our AI consulting services from the first conversation. We plan around your data, your infrastructure and the rules your business works under before selecting models or designing integrations.

  • Check the data first.

    Before we build, we review where your data lives, who owns it, how complete it is and what the system should be allowed to reach. Gaps are addressed in the plan.

  • Choose the right model.

    We work with Anthropic and OpenAI models, along with open-weight alternatives, selecting technology based on accuracy, cost, and privacy requirements. We don’t have reseller relationships with model providers.

  • Keep control of your systems.

    Integrations run in accounts you own. During a pilot we can run them on our own Claude backend, then move them to your accounts at handover.

  • Protect your information.

    We work within agreed data boundaries, with access and usage requirements defined for the project. Client information isn’t used for unrelated demonstrations.

  • Build governance in.

    AI governance is part of every build, sized to the project: who can use the system, what it can access, a record of what it did, monitoring from launch, and human review wherever the risk calls for it.

  • Secure it before launch.

    AI security starts with least-privilege access, so each system reaches only the data and tools it needs. Every production build gets a security review before it goes live.

Common Questions

A few things worth knowing.

How much do AI consulting services cost?

SLIDEFACTORY’s AI Opportunity Assessment starts at $1,500. It includes discovery, workflow and system reviews, prioritized recommendations, and an implementation roadmap. The final assessment price depends on the business and scope.

Focused AI Implementation and Custom AI Systems are scoped and quoted after the assessment. AI training for your team is a fixed one-week program at $9,500 per team, for up to 8 people.

Why should a business start with an assessment before implementing AI?

An assessment helps establish which business problems are worth solving and whether AI is the right approach. It also identifies technical requirements, existing systems, and potential obstacles before development begins.

Not every problem needs artificial intelligence. In some cases, improving an existing process or connecting software you already use may be a better starting point.

What does the AI Opportunity Assessment include?

SLIDEFACTORY’s AI Opportunity Assessment includes initial discovery, stakeholder and workflow interviews, a review of existing systems and processes, prioritized recommendations, and a practical implementation roadmap.

The assessment is designed to help businesses identify realistic opportunities and decide what to do next. The resulting plan can be implemented by an internal team or with SLIDEFACTORY.

What’s the difference between AI consulting and AI development?

AI consulting focuses on identifying opportunities, evaluating requirements, selecting approaches, and planning implementation. AI development turns those plans into working applications, integrations, agents, and other software.

SLIDEFACTORY works as both an AI consulting firm and an AI development company, bringing strategy and engineering together so the same team can help plan and implement a solution.

Which AI models and platforms does SLIDEFACTORY work with?

We work with models from Anthropic and OpenAI, along with open-weight alternatives. The choice depends on the project’s accuracy, cost, privacy, and technical requirements.

We’re not a reseller for any AI model provider, so model selection is based on the needs of the project.

Where does our data go, and can integrations run in our own accounts?

AI integrations can run in accounts your company controls. Pilot environments can also be kept separate from production systems, with defined access permissions, usage limits, and data agreements.

We review these requirements when planning the system. Client information isn’t used for unrelated demonstrations.

Can SLIDEFACTORY take over an AI project another company started?

Yes. We can review an existing AI implementation, examine its architecture and current functionality, and identify what can be kept or improved.

We start with an audit before recommending additional development. The objective is to understand what already works and what needs attention.

How long does it take to develop and launch an AI pilot?

The schedule depends on the workflow, required integrations, available data, and testing involved. A focused automation project may have very different requirements from a custom AI application.

We evaluate those requirements during planning and establish the scope and delivery schedule before implementation begins.

Do you work with companies across the United States?

Yes. SLIDEFACTORY works with clients nationally, providing AI consulting, software development, integration, and implementation services.

An AI consultant can help with the initial assessment, while our strategy and engineering team can continue through development and adoption. As an AI consulting company, we support both early planning and implementation.
