Frequently Asked Questions about AI Consulting
An AI consultant helps businesses identify, plan, and implement artificial intelligence solutions that increase revenue, reduce operational costs, and create competitive advantages.
At Kersai, our AI consultants follow a proprietary three-stage methodology: Diagnosis, Architecture, and Optimization. During Diagnosis, we analyse your operational data to find invisible friction that may be costing 20-30% of net margin. During Architecture, we design and deploy custom AI infrastructure with closed-loop systems. During Optimization, we train your team to transition from operators to conductors of AI-augmented workflows.
Unlike digital agencies that sell individual tools, Kersai installs complete Revenue Intelligence Systems that allow organisations to scale without bloated operations.
Getting started with AI begins with an AI Maturity Assessment to understand your current capabilities and identify the highest-impact opportunities. Kersai recommends starting with a single high-ROI use case rather than attempting enterprise-wide transformation.
The typical process involves booking a free consultation to discuss your business goals and challenges, completing an operational data audit to identify automation opportunities, receiving a prioritised AI roadmap with 30-60-90 day milestones, piloting one AI solution to demonstrate measurable ROI, and then scaling successful implementations across the organisation.
Most businesses see initial results within 30 days of starting their first AI project.
AI implementation costs vary based on complexity and scope. At Kersai, our small business AI packages start from $2,000 for targeted solutions like automated newsletters, cold email outreach, or webinar sales funnels. Custom AI automation and workflow packages begin at $5,000.
Comprehensive AI strategy consulting engagements typically range from $5,000 to $25,000 depending on organisational size and scope. Importantly, AI implementations typically deliver ROI within 3-6 months through cost reduction in operations and revenue increases from AI-powered marketing and sales optimisation.
We offer payment plans and always start with a free consultation to provide accurate pricing for your specific needs.
The build versus buy decision depends on your business needs, data sensitivity, and competitive differentiation goals.
Buy existing AI tools when you need proven, off-the-shelf solutions for common tasks like content generation, customer service chatbots, or data analytics. Build custom AI solutions when your workflows are unique, when data sovereignty is critical, or when AI capabilities represent a core competitive advantage.
At Kersai, we typically recommend a hybrid approach: start with configurable off-the-shelf tools for immediate wins while building proprietary AI infrastructure for long-term strategic advantage. Our AI Strategy & Roadmapping service includes a detailed build-vs-buy analysis for each identified opportunity.
AI implementation timelines vary by complexity. Quick-win AI automation projects such as email automation, social media scheduling, and content generation can be deployed within 1-2 weeks.
Medium-complexity implementations such as custom chatbots, workflow automation, and CRM integration typically take 4-8 weeks. Enterprise-grade AI infrastructure, including closed-loop revenue intelligence systems, predictive analytics platforms, and multi-department AI integration, generally requires 3-6 months.
At Kersai, we follow a sprint methodology and prioritise speed. Our initial AI Maturity Assessment delivers findings within one week, and we always target first measurable results within 30 days of project kickoff.
