Everyone is experimenting. Nothing is in production.
There are subscriptions, pilots and enthusiasm, but no change anyone can point to in how the work gets done.
Services AI consulting
AI consulting that ends in something working.
We help businesses find the few places where AI earns its keep, prove them with a working prototype, and build them into the tools people already use. Led by Grant Slabbert, after nearly thirty years of building the things businesses run on.
Book 30 minutes with Grant 30 minutes, weekday mornings and early afternoons, SAST. Nothing is sold on the call.
You’ll recognise this
You’ll recognise this
The knowledge is there, just not where it’s needed.
Policies, procedures and know-how sit in documents, inboxes and a few people’s heads, and the same questions get asked every week.
IT needs to know where the data goes.
Before anything is switched on, someone has to answer for security, privacy and which systems it touches. That is a fair question, and it should shape the design.
What we make
What you get from us.
01
A clear view of the opportunities
Where AI would genuinely help in your business, and where it wouldn’t, with the reasoning behind each.
02
A prioritised roadmap
What to do first, what it depends on, and what it is worth, in an order your team can act on.
03
A working prototype
The strongest opportunity, built for real so it can be judged on evidence rather than a slide.
04
Implementation
Assistants, tools and integrations built into the systems you already run, with prices, permissions and data kept where they belong.
Where bigger work starts
The Opportunity Sprint.
Three days to find the one thing worth building in your business, and see it working before you commit a budget to it.
For AI, the Sprint finds the few places it genuinely helps and proves the strongest one with your own material, before any platform is bought.
You keep, whether or not we build
- An opportunity map
- A prioritised roadmap
- One working prototype
- A success measure
- An implementation plan
- A data handling note
Terms under review. Fee, participants, preparation and what you keep if you do not proceed: being settled for the repositioned offer.
How it works
From first conversation to something in use.
- 01
A 30-minute call
Bring one document your people struggle to apply, or one process that eats the week. Nothing is sold on the call.
- 02
The Opportunity Sprint
Three focused days with your team: how the work is done today, where the knowledge sits, and where AI would make a difference.
- 03
Prototype and plan
In the week that follows, a working prototype of the strongest opportunity, a prioritised roadmap and an implementation plan.
- 04
Build and run
If you go ahead, we build it into your systems and stay with it, so it keeps working as the business changes.

What people usually ask.
Do we need our data in order first?
No. Part of the sprint is finding out what you have and what it is good enough for. Most businesses hold more usable knowledge than they think, in documents, spreadsheets and email.
Will our information leave our environment?
Only where you agree it can. We map where information would go before anything is built, and design to your security and privacy rules rather than around them.
Do you work with one AI vendor?
No. We choose the model and platform to suit the job and the environment it has to run in.
What does the Opportunity Sprint cost?
The terms for the sprint are being settled for the current offer. Book the call and we will tell you exactly where they stand.
What happens after the sprint?
You have the roadmap, the prototype and the implementation plan. If you want us to build it, the work is quoted from that plan.
Do you work with clients outside South Africa?
Yes. We are based in Knysna and most of our work is already remote: briefs, reviews and sign-off happen by video call and a shared project board, with one lead from start to finish. We work with the South African arms of international groups such as Leroy Merlin, and quote in rand, pounds, euros or US dollars. South African time is UTC+2, so our working day overlaps with the UK and Europe, and we keep afternoon calls for the US East Coast. The Opportunity Sprint runs fully remotely, and we design to your data protection rules, including GDPR.
