You know you need AI.
You don't know where to start.
We do. And we'll send someone to your office to start it. By the hour. No lock-in. First day on us.
The problem
Only 5% of Australian SMEs are capturing the full value of AI. (Deloitte, 2024)
78% of Australian schools report staff using AI tools — but with no structured framework. (NAIC)
You've read the headlines. You've tried ChatGPT once or twice. Your competitors are moving faster than you are.
The gap isn't the tools. The gap is someone who knows which tools, for which workflows, and who can train your team to actually use them.
The solution — your embedded AI Ally
A trained AI specialist — on-site, in your office, working shoulder-to-shoulder with your staff. Running a founder-designed playbook built from enterprise consulting methodology. Graduate execution, founder quality assurance. Hired by the hour or as a fixed-fee sprint. You only pay for what you need.
How they work — the 5-Phase Framework
- 1. Discover — Map current workflows, interview staff, identify repetitive and time-draining tasks.
- 2. Diagnose — Score opportunities by impact and ease. Shortlist the top 3–5 quick wins.
- 3. Deploy — Set up and configure recommended AI tools. Build prompts, templates, and standard operating procedures.
- 4. Train — Run workshops for your staff. One-on-one coaching for power users. Written and video guides.
- 5. Handover — Final report with measurable outcomes, tools deployed, staff trained, and a 90-day roadmap.

- Actually embedded. Your Ally shows up to your office. No Zoom calls from Sydney. No offshore "delivery team."
- You own everything. All work product, all prompts, all templates — yours. We keep only our methodology.
- No lock-in. Pay for the hours you use. Stop any time. Scale up any time.
- Australian owned, Australian talent, Australian data rules. Labour-hire licence applied in VIC. WWCC-checked for school placements. Full PI + PL insurance.
FAQ
Is the first day really free?
Yes. No card required up front. We'll scope a first piece of work, spend a day on it with you, and show you the result. If you want to keep going, it's $89/hr + GST after that. If not, we walk — no hard feelings, no invoice.
We already use ChatGPT. Do we need this?
Using ChatGPT to draft an email is table stakes. Mapping your workflows, building custom prompt libraries, training your whole team, and measuring time saved — that's what an Ally does.
What if the Ally isn't good?
Tell us and we replace them — no charge for the mismatched hours. We'd rather swap than argue.
Is our data safe?
Your Ally signs a confidentiality agreement. We only use enterprise-grade tools (ChatGPT Enterprise, Claude for Work, Microsoft Copilot). No training on your data. Written in every contract.
Can we hire the Ally permanently?
Yes — after 6 months, or for a one-time placement fee inside that window. We'd rather you love them.
How quickly can we start?
From signed engagement letter to Day 1 on-site: typically 7–14 days.
Is there a minimum number of hours?
No minimum and no maximum. Book as few as 5 hours or as many as a full-time Ally (160 hrs/month). Scale up or down with 48 hours' notice.
