AI Consulting in Adelaide — Practical, Affordable, No Bullshit
What Is AI Consulting Actually?
Good question. "Consulting" can mean anything from a 200-page PDF you never read to someone actually rolling up their sleeves and building stuff.
We do the second one.
AI consulting with us means:
- We figure out where AI can actually help your business (not where it theoretically could)
- We build and implement the solutions
- We support you as you use them
- We charge prices that make sense for small businesses
No "digital transformation strategy decks." No six-figure projects that take a year to deliver. Just practical AI that solves real problems.
What's Included in Our Consulting
Process Audit
We look at how your business actually runs. Where do you spend time on repeatable tasks? Where do customers get frustrated? Where are you losing opportunities?
We map this out in a simple report: here's what's broken, here's what AI can fix, here's what it'll cost.
This is our audit. You get a clear action plan even if you never work with us again.
Solution Design
Once you know what to fix, we design the solution. This isn't generic advice. It's specific to your business:
- Which AI tools to use
- How they integrate with your existing systems
- What your new workflows look like
- What to expect in time and cost savings
Implementation
We build it. You don't have to figure out the tech stack, hire developers, or mess around with APIs.
We set up your AI receptionist. We connect it to your calendar. We write the scripts. We test it. We train your team.
You just start using it.
Ongoing Support
AI isn't "set and forget." You'll have questions. You'll want to tweak things. Your business will change.
Our monthly support includes:
- Script updates and optimisation
- New feature rollouts
- Troubleshooting when stuff breaks
- Quarterly reviews to find new opportunities
Our Process
Phase 1: Audit
- 30-60 minute discovery call
- Review of your current workflows
- Identification of AI opportunities
- Written report with prioritised recommendations
- Clear pricing for implementation
- "Should I even be using AI?"
- "Where would it have the biggest impact?"
- "What will this actually cost?"
Many clients find the audit alone is worth it. You get clarity on what to do, even if you do it yourself or with someone else.
Phase 2: Implementation ($1,500-3,000)
- AI system setup and configuration
- Integration with your existing tools (calendar, CRM, practice management software)
- Script writing and testing
- Staff training
- Go-live support
- AI receptionist for phone answering: $1,500-2,000
- AI receptionist + calendar integration + SMS reminders: $2,000-2,500
- Multi-system integration (AI + CRM + practice software): $2,500-3,000
We give you a fixed quote after the audit. No surprises.
Phase 3: Support ($500-1,500/month)
- Platform hosting and usage (phone minutes, AI processing)
- Ongoing script updates and optimisation
- Support tickets and troubleshooting
- Monthly performance reports
- Quarterly strategy reviews
- Solo/Small: $500-700/month — single user, basic AI receptionist
- Growing: $700-1,000/month — multiple staff, calendar integrations, SMS automation
- Clinic/Trade Business: $1,000-1,500/month — high call volume, multiple integrations, priority support
You can cancel anytime. No lock-in contracts.
Who This Is For
- Tradies losing jobs to missed calls
- Health clinics drowning in admin
- Retail owners spending too much time on customer enquiries
- Professional services wanting to automate routine tasks
- Any business doing $200k+ revenue where owner time is the bottleneck
- Businesses too small to handle more customers (AI won't help if you're already maxed out)
- Companies wanting to "explore AI" without specific problems to solve
- Anyone expecting magic (AI is a tool, not a miracle)
- Businesses unwilling to change existing workflows (some adjustment is required)

FAQ: AI Consulting Questions
Why pay for consulting when I can just use ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is great for writing emails and generating ideas. It can't answer your phone calls, book appointments in your calendar, or integrate with your business systems. We build the actual systems that run your business.
What if I start and it doesn't work for my business?
Fair question. That's why we start with the $247 audit. You get a clear plan before committing to the big spend. If the audit shows AI won't help you, we'll tell you. We've turned down work when it didn't make sense.
How long until I see ROI?
Most clients see ROI within 30-60 days. Usually from:
- Recovered missed calls (1-2 extra jobs/month for tradies)
- Reduced admin time (5-10 hours/week for clinic owners)
- Lower no-show rates (from automated reminders)
If you're not seeing ROI in 60 days, we'll work with you to fix it or wind it down.
Can I just buy the audit and implement myself?
Absolutely. Some clients do exactly that. They want our expertise on what to build, but they have the tech skills to implement themselves. The audit is yours to use however you want.
Do you work with businesses outside Adelaide?
We're Adelaide-based and prefer working locally. But we've done remote setups for businesses in other SA regions and interstate. If the work can be done remotely and you're a good fit, we'll consider it.
What happens if I want to cancel?
No lock-in. You can cancel monthly support anytime. You'll own any custom scripts or configurations we built. The only thing that stops working is the AI platform itself (since that's hosted).
Is this just AI receptionist stuff, or broader consulting?
AI receptionist is our core offering because it has the fastest ROI for most small businesses. But we also consult on:
- Customer service chatbots
- Internal workflow automation
- Document processing and data entry reduction
- Basic AI strategy and tool selection
If it's AI and it's practical for a small business, we'll look at it.
Ready to Start?
Book the $247 audit. We'll spend 30-60 minutes understanding your business and send you a clear report within 3-5 days.
If you want to move forward, great. If not, you still have a roadmap of what to do.
