Choose the right AI and budget before you spend.
Should you use an online AI service, rent computing in the cloud, or run AI on your own computer? We compare the options on your examples, your quality needs and your total budget, and give you a clear recommendation.
Who this is for
- You are choosing between an online AI service, the cloud and your own hardware.
- A pilot works, but its quality, speed or monthly cost needs a closer look.
What you receive
- A comparison of the options on examples from your work.
- A view of quality, speed and running cost for each option.
- A recommendation with its assumptions written down.
- A proposed next step.
How it runs
Agree on the question
What the AI should do, what limits apply and how we will judge it.
Test the options
We try the relevant models and setups on your examples.
Explain the choice
What fits, what does not and why. Keeping your current service is a valid answer.
The right tool for each job
Some AI models write answers and can use tools. Others search your documents by meaning, or sort results by how relevant they are. We choose the combination your task needs. Plain explanations of these terms

Read the research noteScope, handover and support
Your proposal sets out the work, the price, the start and handover dates, and what we need from you. Running costs, such as hardware or cloud charges, are listed separately. On-site days and ongoing support are agreed up front, and the engineers who build your system keep supporting it.
Questions about the work
How is the price decided?
It is based on the work involved, the systems we connect and the support you want. Your proposal separates our work from running costs such as hardware or cloud charges.
Who keeps supporting the system?
Before we start, we agree on support coverage, on-site work and how problems are handled.
Do I need to buy hardware first?
No. We start from your work and your budget, compare the options, and only then recommend a purchase or a cloud setup.
