For owner-run businesses

AI consulting for small businesses. We build it and hand it over working.

After-hours calls get answered and booked into your calendar. Quotes go out the same afternoon. We start with the change that saves you the most hours and plan for it to go live within a few weeks.

What we do

We don't advise on AI. We build it.

Three ways we take AI from idea to production. Pick the one that fits where you are today.

Build it for you

You know the job AI should do, such as booking the leads, writing the quote or handling the paperwork. We design it, build it, and hand it over working. One real use case, live and tied to a number you care about.

  • We design and build it end to end
  • Live and working, not a demo
  • Set up safely, with notes so you can run it

Restart a stalled project

A pilot that never shipped, a tool stuck in testing, a build that lost momentum. We work out why it stalled, keep what works, rebuild what doesn't, and get it back on a path to live.

  • An honest read on why it stalled
  • Keep what works, rebuild the rest
  • A system live on one workflow, or our advice to stop and no fee

Work alongside your team

Already have people who can run it? We bring the AI depth and build alongside them, so the know-how stays in-house. When we hand off, your team can keep it running and improving.

  • Senior AI engineers working with you
  • A working release planned every few weeks
  • Your team owns it after handover

How we work

From idea to AI running in production

We pick the one use case worth doing first, build it and get it live, then make it better. Go-live is planned within weeks, and you get a working system, not a report you have to act on yourself.

01

Start with a readiness read

Take the free AI-readiness audit or sit down with us. In days, not a month-long discovery phase, we know where AI moves a real metric for you.

02

Design the right solution

We scope one shippable use case, choose the architecture, and agree on the business outcome it has to move. No decks for their own sake.

03

Build it on your tools

We build on the inbox and calendar you already use and plan for it to go live within a few weeks. Then we show your people how to run it, so it keeps working after we hand it over.

04

Keep the momentum

We measure against the outcome, iterate on what shipped, and either scale to the next use case or hand you a system your team owns.

What we deliver

You get working software, not a report

Every job ends in something that runs in your business. It is set up, switched on and tied to a result you agreed up front.

Working software

AI that actually runs in your business, set up in the tools you use, instead of a prototype or a report.

Built with you

We build with your people so the know-how stays in-house and it keeps running after we hand over.

Tied to a result

Every build is tied to one number you agree with us up front.

A fast first win

Go-live planned within weeks, then improved from there, with no months of workshops.

Free AI-readiness audit

Not sure where AI would pay off first?

Answer a few questions and get a readiness snapshot. It shows where you're ready to build, where the gaps are and the use case worth shipping first. Free, no email required.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Build or advice, timelines, who owns the code, and what working with us looks like. What owners ask before they book a call.

Do you just advise, or actually build it?
We build it. BuildPulse is AI consulting for small businesses, and you get a working system at the end. That might be an assistant that answers after-hours calls and books them, or quotes that go out the same afternoon. If it isn't live and saving you time, we aren't finished.
How fast can we get something in production?
A Build Sprint puts one AI use case into production in four to six weeks. We scope tightly on purpose: one real outcome, shipped, beats a broad roadmap that never leaves the prototype.
Who owns the code and the IP?
You do. The code, the models and the documentation are all yours. We transfer skills to your team as we go so nothing depends on us staying.
What does working with you look like?
You book a call and talk to Thilo, the founder. Together you pick the one job that eats most of your week. We build the AI for it on the inbox and calendar you already use, plan for it to go live within a few weeks, and show your people how to run it before we hand it over.
What if our AI project already stalled?
That is what Project Rescue is for. It starts with a diagnosis that shows why the project stalled and which parts are worth keeping. Then we salvage what works, rebuild what doesn't, and put it live on one workflow. If the honest answer is to stop, we say so and charge no fee.
Do we need our own data scientists or AI team?
No. We bring the technical depth. If you have a team, we make them faster and hand off cleanly; if you don't, we build it and leave you with something your existing people can run.
