AI consulting from the team that builds the systems
Bring the problem. We write the scope first, say whether a product we already run fits, and quote a custom build in writing. Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute call.
What is AI consulting?
AI consulting helps a business decide where AI fits its work, what to build or buy, and how to put it into operation. At Soto ⟂ Dev the advice comes with a written scope and a quote, from the team that builds and runs the systems.
What you get
Who it’s for
Businesses with a specific problem and a decision to make: buy a product, build something custom, or wait.
- 01A written scope that says what done means before anything is built
- 02An honest answer on whether a product we already run fits: EKO-I sites, Voz and Concierge agents, EKO-II security audits, Zero
- 03A quote in writing for any custom build
- 04Checks around AI output: measured where it can be, judged by more than one model where it cannot
- 05Runbooks, recovery procedures and credential escrow with every engagement
Questions we scope with you
Product or custom build?
We say whether something we already run fits, before you pay for anything custom.
Which model for which task?
The right model for each job, working on your own information.
Can an agent answer for us safely?
Agents answer from approved information and hand off to a person when it matters.
How will we know the output is right?
We measure what can be measured and use a second model from a different vendor for the rest.
Consulting that ends in a scope and a quote
Our consulting ends in a written scope and a quote you can act on. If a product we already run fits your problem, we say so. If it does not, we scope the custom build.
The same team that gives the advice builds and operates the systems, so the advice comes from people who have to keep them working.
How it works
A 30-minute call
We map the problem and decide together whether it is a product or a custom build. It is free.
A written scope
Nothing is built before both sides agree, in writing, on what done means. Custom work is quoted in writing.
Built, then operated
You see the work before launch. Every build arrives with a runbook, a recovery plan and a changelog, and we keep it running.
Pricing
The first call is free. Custom work is quoted in writing before anything starts. Pricing depends on scope and volume, and we quote it in writing.
Questions
- What does an AI consultant do?
- An AI consultant helps decide where AI fits a business, what to build or buy, and how to run it. Ours finishes with a written scope and a quote.
- How does an engagement start?
- With a free 30-minute call. We map the problem and decide together whether it is a product or a custom build.
- Do you only recommend custom builds?
- No. We tell you whether a product we already run fits. Custom work is for when nothing off the shelf does.
- Do you work with small businesses?
- Yes. We serve customers of every size, from large enterprises to small businesses.
- How do you check that AI output is right?
- Speed, accessibility and structured data are scored by script. Judgment calls are scored by one model and re-checked blind by a model from a different vendor, and when they disagree we say so.
