Aïves Consulting
Our approach

AI in your SME, without buying into the hype.

We start by understanding your business. Not by selling you a tool. Three simple steps, six months max, and you walk out with a company that uses AI where it actually creates value.

Why this approach

Most AI projects fail for a mundane reason.

It's almost never the technology that blocks. What blocks is the gap between what AI can do and what your team already knows how to do with it. An SME that buys a tool without scoping it ends up with one more subscription on the bill — and nothing that actually changes day-to-day.

Our method fits in three phases that follow in this order. No tools before diagnostic. No automation before you understand what you are automating. Slow at the start, fast at the finish.

The three phases — AI strategy consulting

Diagnostic, onboarding, automation.

In that order. Never in another.

Phase 01

Diagnostic

1 to 2 months · Quick wins

We look at your company as it is today. Your processes, your tools, the places where you lose time. We identify the quick wins — those that can be activated without specific development.

  • Map of AI-automatable tasks
  • 3 ready-to-use quick wins
  • Priority / impact / effort matrix
  • 90-day roadmap
Phase 02

Leadership onboarding

Months 3 to 4 · Pilot

You won't become an AI expert. That's not the goal. But you need to know what AI can do, what it can't, and what it really costs you. Without that, you don't steer — you react.

  • Leadership workshop (2 h to 1 day)
  • Concrete use cases from your sector
  • Decision framework: what we launch, what we expect
  • Team awareness session on request
Phase 03

Automation

Months 5 to 6 · Delivery

We build what was decided in phase 1 and validated in phase 2. Off-the-shelf solutions when possible (like Aïves Chat), custom integrations when your business demands it. Always measurable, always reversible.

  • Integration of existing AI tools
  • Automations connected to your stack
  • Skills transfer to your team
  • Gains dashboard
What we don't do

Transparency first. Including on our limits.

Let's start with 30 minutes on the phone.

You present your company and what you're wondering about. I tell you if AI has a place, where, and what it costs to get there.
