Available for new engagements

Practical AI
that works on your hardware

We build multi-agent systems, document automation, and on-prem AI deployments — shipped and running, not PowerPointed to death.

Built by people who ship.

Real systems.
No hype required.

Every engagement ends with software running in production, not a proof-of-concept slide deck.

Multi-Agent Orchestration

Interconnected AI agents that coordinate complex workflows — scheduling, research, triage, and handoffs — without a human in the loop for every step.

  • LangGraph
  • CrewAI
  • Custom orchestration

Intake & Document Automation

Turn your inbound PDFs, forms, and emails into structured data. We wire extraction, validation, and routing directly into the tools your team already uses.

  • OCR + LLM extraction
  • n8n / Make
  • CRM integration

On-Prem AI Deployments

Run capable models inside your own infrastructure — no data leaves your network. Ideal for regulated industries and teams with air-gapped requirements.

  • Ollama / vLLM
  • Llama & Mistral
  • Private cloud

Straightforward from first call to handoff

We keep the process tight so you're not managing a project — you're just reviewing working software.

  1. Discovery call

    One hour. We learn your workflow, your constraints, and what "done" looks like. No sales deck — just honest conversation about what AI can and can't do for you.

  2. Scoped proposal

    A plain-language document: what we'll build, what it costs, and when you'll have it. Fixed-scope, fixed-price where possible so there are no billing surprises.

  3. Build & ship

    We build iteratively, share working software early, and stay reachable throughout. You're not waiting for a big-reveal demo — you see real progress week by week.

  4. Handoff & support

    You get the code, the docs, and the runbooks. We train your team or your internal IT on day-to-day operation. Ongoing retainer available if you want us on call.

Also need irrigation automation?

Our sister company Applied Irrigation Solutions builds smart irrigation control systems with the same practical, ship-first mindset.

We ship AI that earns its keep

Applied AI Solutions is a small, focused consultancy. We don't sell retainers for slide decks or vague "AI strategy." We build software, deploy it on your infrastructure, and hand you the keys.

Our clients are businesses that have real workflows, real constraints, and real data — not startups chasing a demo. If you've been burned by a vendor that promised AI transformation and delivered a chatbot, we're probably the right fit.

Your data stays on your hardware
Fixed-scope projects over open-ended retainers
Working software, not polished presentations
We explain what the model can't do as clearly as what it can
