AI consulting · Parma, Cleveland & Northeast Ohio
Built for
We install Hermes Agent + Claude Code, Cowork, and Design across your business in 21 days. In-person training. Done-for-you. If your team isn't saving 10 hours a week within 60 days, we work free until they are, or every dollar comes back.
How would you even know you need this?
In a typical Northeast Ohio business with 5 to 50 employees, around 30% of payroll hours go to work that follows a script. Quoting from a phone call. Following up after the sale. Pulling the same report on Monday morning. Writing the same email to a different name. Sorting receipts. Drafting estimates from a template. Answering customer questions you've answered 200 times before.
None of it is hard work. All of it is repeatable work. The reason it stays on your team's plate is the same reason it has for fifty years: there was no good way to give it to a machine. The machine couldn't read the email. Couldn't think about the quote. Couldn't write a follow-up that sounded human.
That changed in November 2022. By 2025 the agents were reliable. By 2026 they're cheap. The owners who've already installed them are spending the same payroll on people doing twice as much real work, the kind a customer actually pays for.
The rest of Northeast Ohio is still doing it by hand. We're here for the rest.
If you can name three workflows your team does every week that follow a script, you have the problem this business solves.
What we install on your business
None of them custom-built from scratch. All of them battle-tested, open-source where possible, and wired to your actual workflows on day 14.
Open-source agent platform from Nous Research. Lives inside email, Slack, Teams, Discord, WhatsApp, or your terminal. Persistent memory. Builds its own skills as it works. Runs scheduled jobs in natural language ("every Monday at 7am, pull last week's invoices and email me the late ones").
How Hermes works in your business →For any team that touches a spreadsheet, a database, a script, a report, or anything that's ever needed an IT request. Claude Code writes the SQL, builds the script, fixes the formula, ships the dashboard. Trained team members do in 20 minutes what used to wait three weeks for an IT contractor.
Claude Code training →For everyone who writes, proposals, contracts, emails, reports, follow-ups, marketing. Cowork sits beside your team and edits, drafts, and rewrites in your voice. Two weeks in, your sales team is shipping double the proposals and the proposals close at a higher rate because the writing is better.
Claude Cowork training →For businesses that need decks, one-pagers, social posts, signage, and brochure-level design without a designer on payroll or an agency invoice for every job. Your front-desk person produces work that looks like an agency made it.
Claude Design training →One engagement
No tiers to decode, no hourly meter. We scope the entire build with you on a call, you see the fixed number before you commit, and the 10-Hour Guarantee backs every day of it.
21 days, done-for-you, backed by the 10-Hour Guarantee.
Want the lay of the land first? Book a call and we'll map one of your workflows live, no charge, before anything else gets decided.
The 10-Hour Guarantee
We set a time baseline during week one of the Installation. If your team isn't saving a measurable 10+ hours per week within 60 days of completion, two choices: we keep building and training at no charge until they are, or every dollar comes back. You decide.
Read the full guarantee →Industries and cities we serve
The businesses here that have installed working AI by 2027 are going to spend their payroll on people doing customer-facing work, sales, service, judgment calls. The businesses that haven't are going to spend it the same way they always have: on hours that a machine could have done. Same payroll. Half the output. Quietly losing margin to the shop across the street that figured it out first.
We exist so the businesses that figure it out first are the ones in Parma, Cleveland, Lakewood, Strongsville, Brunswick, Independence, Solon, Beachwood, Medina, and Akron, not the ones in some city two thousand miles away.
If you searched "AI consulting near me," you're probably weighing a big-name AI consulting firm, a national AI consulting company, or someone local. The honest answer for a Northeast Ohio business: you don't need McKinsey's AI practice or one of the "top 10 AI consulting firms." You need a local AI consultant who installs practical AI, AI solutions, AI agents, and automation wired to your actual workflows, and trains your team. That's what we do: end-to-end AI solutions for companies in Cleveland, Parma, and the surrounding suburbs, with the AI strategy and the build under one roof.
Our AI consulting services span the whole journey: AI strategy and AI readiness up front, AI implementation and AI integration in the middle, and AI training so adoption sticks. We deploy generative AI and AI agents, handle the AI development and configuration, and align every AI initiative with your business goals and core business objectives. Think of it as AI strategy consulting plus the execution most consulting firms skip, a consulting approach built for measurable business value and AI ROI, not a slide deck. We pair AI and machine learning with the AI tools your team already touches.
Selecting the right AI consulting partner comes down to a few things: real expertise in AI, a track record of practical AI projects, ethical AI and secure AI adoption, and a price you can see. The best AI consulting companies for a small business aren't the enterprise AI giants chasing Fortune 500 budgets, they're the ones who deliver AI solutions that improve operational efficiency for a 12-person shop and stick around for support. As your AI consulting company and technology consulting firm, we serve businesses across various industries, financial services, healthcare, professional services, with tailored AI that fits how you already work and drives real business outcomes.
The question everyone asks. National AI consulting firms bill six figures, and a typical AI consultant near you runs an open-ended hourly meter. We work differently: one fixed-price engagement, scoped with you on a call, with the full number on the table before you commit to anything. No surprise invoices and no open-ended "AI transformation" retainer, just AI services that deliver business success and help your business adopt artificial intelligence without betting the year on it. Book a call and you'll have the number for your business the same week.
Most AI consulting firms stop at advice. We also cover the build, so you don't have to hire a separate AI development services company or a custom software development shop. Where a national services provider sells cloud consulting, data consulting, and managed services as separate line items, we bundle the AI technologies that matter for a small business into one engagement: AI agents and AI models wired to your data, business intelligence and intelligence solutions that turn numbers into business decisions, and the AI applications your team uses daily. We help organizations and help businesses adopt the advanced AI and emerging AI that actually moves the needle, a true AI partner instead of a leading AI brand name.
That's the difference between adopting artificial intelligence on paper and in practice. Our AI research keeps the stack current, our AI initiatives map to your business needs and your real business process, and the whole thing is built to streamline the work, not to look impressive in a deck. We're the local alternative to the top AI consulting firms and the intelligence consulting and intelligence services giants, sized for Northeast Ohio.
Questions owners ask
Hermes Agent, an open-source autonomous agent platform from Nous Research, plus Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and Claude Design configured for your team. Hermes runs on your server or ours, lives inside Slack, email, Discord, or Teams, and handles whatever workflow you point it at. Claude tools sit on each team member's workstation. We build the agents. We train your team. You keep all of it.
You can. Most owners who've tried that for six months end up in one of two places: a few people use it well, the rest never adopted it, and the workflows that should have been automated are still being done by hand. Generic AI is a tool. Installed AI, agents wired to your actual workflows, with your team trained on the patterns, is a system. The 10 hours a week we guarantee come from the system, not the tools.
We're based in Parma and prefer in-person work across Northeast Ohio, Cleveland, Lakewood, Westlake, Strongsville, Brunswick, Independence, Solon, Beachwood, Medina, Akron. The three in-person training sessions are part of the Installation. For businesses outside that radius, the same package runs over Zoom with the same guarantee.
Book a call. Bring one workflow that's eating your team's hours, and we'll walk through the exact AI stack we'd build for it, plus a one-page diagram you can keep. No charge and no obligation, and you leave knowing whether AI is worth it for your shop.
Three things. First, we ship, installations are 21 days and we publish the entire timeline before you pay. Second, we guarantee an outcome (10 hours saved per week) instead of an output (workshops delivered). Third, we work in person across Northeast Ohio when most AI consulting is sold by people who've never sat in a 12-person business and watched the workflow.
Ninety days of post-launch support is included. Around day 91, the optional AI Care Plan picks up: hosting, a new agent built each quarter, monthly group office hours, and priority support. Month-to-month. Cancel anytime. If you don't want it, the agents we built are yours to keep running.
