Most AI consulting ends with a deck. Ours ends with a system your own people run. Plain language the whole way.
Book a 15-Min Chat →A good AI consulting firm answers three questions and then proves the answers: which of your workflows should use AI first, what it will cost to run, and how you will know it is working. Then it builds the first one.
The gap in the market is between firms that only advise and shops that only build. Advice without a build leaves you with a plan and no working system. A build without the thinking gives you a tool nobody asked for. We do both, in order, with one team.
Our AI implementation services page covers the build side in detail. This page covers the consulting side: the roadmap, the choices, and how to pick a firm.
Our AI strategy consulting is short on purpose. In the first two weeks we sit with your team and produce a one-page roadmap:
Then we build against it. A roadmap that is not followed by a build inside 30 days is a strategy deck, and we do not sell those. The thinking behind this is in Operations Disguised as AI Problems and the AI maturity model we use to place you.
Prove that a workflow pays before you staff it. Transfer it to a named owner before you scale it. Scale only what your own team can run.
| Large consulting firm | Anar Agency | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Enterprises with procurement cycles and internal IT teams | Owner-run companies with 10 to 500 people |
| What you get | A strategy engagement, then a separate implementation partner | The roadmap and the working systems from one team |
| Timeline | Months of discovery before anything runs | A working, measured system inside the first month |
| Ownership | Often depends on their platform or their people | Your accounts, your data, your team trained to run it |
| Pricing | Quoted per project, often six figures | $2,000 to $15,000 per month, billed monthly |
We are the right fit when you want AI doing real work this quarter. We are the wrong fit if you need a research report or an enterprise procurement process.
Our engagements run between $2,000 and $15,000 per month, billed monthly, not by the hour. The first phase is 60 to 120 days and you should see a working, measured system inside the first month. Full detail on what moves the price is on our AI implementation services page.
Hourly AI consultants exist and can be right for a second opinion or an audit. For a build, hours add up and nobody owns the result. That is why we price by the month with a named deliverable.
Ask every firm on your list, including us, these seven questions. The answers separate builders from deck makers.
The longer version, with the math on hiring in-house instead, is in AI Consultant vs In-House Team: The Real Math.
Owner-run companies where a missed call, a slow follow-up, or a pile of documents costs real money:
An AI consulting firm helps a business decide where to use AI, then plans and often builds the systems. The useful ones measure results against a before number and hand the system to your team. The less useful ones hand you a strategy document.
It is worth it when the engagement ends with a working system that saves measurable hours or catches measurable leads, and when your own team can run it afterward. It is not worth it when it ends with a report. Ask any firm what will be working 30 days in.
Strategy decides what to build and in what order. Implementation builds it. Most companies under 500 people need two weeks of strategy and then months of implementation, not the other way around. We do both in one engagement.
Our engagements run $2,000 to $15,000 per month depending on how many workflows we build, how messy the data is, and how many systems the AI must connect to. Hourly consultants and large firms price differently; ask for a monthly all-in number.
No. We are based in Phoenix, Arizona and work with companies across the United States. Everything we build runs online, and training and handover happen over video calls.
Yes. We build on the major model providers and keep your systems model-agnostic, so you can switch vendors as prices and capabilities change.
You do. The accounts, the data, the documentation, and the trained owner on your team are all yours when the engagement ends. Ownership is in the contract, not a promise.
A tool gives you a blank box. A consulting firm that builds gives you the tool connected to your data, wrapped in rules about what it can touch and spend, checked for quality, and handed to a trained person on your team.
In 15 minutes we will tell you what we would build, what it would cost to run, and how you would know it is working. No pitch deck.
