The gap between your business and AI? I close it.
From “where do we even start” to live in production.
AI is already transforming how businesses operate. Automating workflows, making smarter decisions, and shipping faster. The space is moving quickly, and the companies that move now won't just keep up. They'll pull ahead.
Most companies know AI could improve their processes. They just don't know where to start. That's where I come in.

What is AI consulting?
AI consulting is a professional service that helps businesses identify where artificial intelligence can create measurable value, then designs and builds the systems to deliver it. A good AI consultant assesses AI readiness, selects appropriate technologies, architects LLM pipelines, and ships production-ready AI products. The role bridges business strategy and technical implementation, turning AI ambition into real systems.
How much does AI consulting cost?
AI consulting fees vary based on scope and engagement model. AI strategy and roadmapping projects typically run as fixed-fee engagements over 2-4 weeks. LLM implementation projects run 4-12 weeks depending on complexity, including architecture, RAG pipelines, prompt engineering, and deployment. Joshua works with both fixed-fee and retainer arrangements. A free 30-minute consultation is the easiest way to scope your project.
