AI Office
An AI team for less than one AI hire.
Most companies your size don't have anyone who owns the AI question — and hiring one is a $150,000 bet on a person you can't yet evaluate. We're a senior AI team on monthly retainer, building on the systems you already own.

Why us
One client has renewed us fourteen times since 2020.
A benefits administrator has brought us back for fourteen sequential engagements since 2020 — eligibility reconciliation, invoice automation three separate times as the requirement changed, pre-certification workflows, a data-quality programme — and we still operate their platform today, with alerting, weekly. Every one of those fourteen ended with them asking for the next thing. That is the part worth weighing: fourteen engagements is not one relationship, it is thirteen separate decisions to keep us, each made by someone who could have stopped. Six years is the honest answer to the question behind every retainer decision — will you still be here in year three.

In their words
What the people who kept us say
Anonymised to industry, because we do not publish client names. These are the three questions every buyer actually has: will you ship, will it work, and will you be straight with us.
TechPath consistently delivered on schedule, even setting and managing their own timelines proactively when ours weren't defined. Their ability to stay on track without constant oversight was a key factor in our smooth collaboration.
Finance
Preparing our operations for Industry 4.0 is an ongoing journey, and TechPath gave us a strong foundation. Their tailored solution enabled full production data capture and helped us uncover hidden inefficiencies. We've since improved machine utilization, strengthened quality control, and saved time by automating key processes.
Automotive
TechPath proved to be a reliable partner from day one, delivering results incrementally and adapting quickly to our needs. Their structured, transparent approach helped build trust early on. What stood out most was their initiative and ability to enhance the Ignition platform while consistently improving the usability of our production tools.
Manufacturing
We build the layer on top of what you already run.
Every system you own is an island. Your ERP doesn't talk to your ticketing system, your ticketing system doesn't talk to your reporting, and the gaps between them are filled by people copying things by hand.
We don't sell you another island. We build the intelligence layer across the ones you have — and we build it inside your own Microsoft tenant, so your data never leaves your infrastructure.
What we build
Ten things, most of them more than once
None of this is speculative. Each is something we have shipped into production and maintained.
Document extraction
PDFs and scans become structured, queryable data.
Integration without an API
Connect systems that were never meant to talk to each other.
Invoice and billing automation
End to end. We have built this three times.
Multi-party reconciliation
Files arriving from several outside parties, in several formats, reconciled.
Ask your systems a question
Natural-language query over a system of record. No SQL.
Data platforms on Microsoft Fabric
Raw to conformed to serving, with full history.
Automation over ticketing
Robotic process automation across support and service desks.
Opportunity discovery
Public data in, ranked opportunities out, with the outreach asset written.
Context delivered, not fetched
The information arrives where the decision happens — the group history reaching an underwriter at renewal, in Teams.
Themes out of free text
Complaints, tickets and call notes clustered into what is actually going wrong, not what got logged.
Built for ourselves
Two of them, we built for our own bench.
Most firms asking for a retainer can describe what they would build. These are two things we did build, on our own time and our own budget, and still operate. The team behind them is the team on your retainer.
CovenantAI
Contract and covenant intelligence
Reads the documents, produces the obligation schedule, and watches the dates. Extraction is built so it never has to be trusted on its own — every figure traces back to the clause it came from.
PropertyTaxAppeal
Commercial over-assessment discovery
Ingests 77,268 Philadelphia commercial parcels, ranks them against comparables, and generates the owner-outreach document. Identified $133,000/yr of appealable over-assessment on a single parcel, and $45,000/yr on another.
Plans
Priced against a hire, not against hours
Published, because you should be able to work out whether this is for you without booking a call.
Map
$2,500/month
You know AI matters. You do not yet know where to start.
Build
$5,000/month
You know what you want built and have nobody to build it.
Run
$10,000/month
You want us operating it, not just building it.
The guarantee
Before we start, we agree in writing the number the build has to hit. If it does not hit it, we keep working at no additional cost until it does.
One workflow. Four to six weeks. Fixed fee. $6,000 fixed, credited in full against month one of any retainer started within 30 days.
- One process, chosen together, that pays for itself on its own
- Working software in production — not a report or a roadmap
- The measured before and after, in writing
- Built in your Microsoft tenant. You own the code.
Before you ask
The five things people push back on
Answered here rather than on a call, including the two where the answer is no.
- We already tried an AI pilot. We got a demo and a maintenance bill.
- The shape is always the same. Somebody built a demo, nobody agreed in advance what "working" meant, and it was built somewhere you don't control — so when it broke you were paying to keep alive a thing nobody in your building could touch. We sell against all three: the number is agreed in writing before we start, it's built in your tenant, and you own it.
- You're not SOC 2 certified.
- No, we're not, and I won't pretend otherwise. If it's a hard gate in your procurement, say so now and we'll stop — better here than at contract. If it's a real question about risk, the honest answer is better than the certificate: we build inside your Microsoft tenant, so your data never leaves your infrastructure. There's no copy on ours, because there's no "ours" in the diagram.
- We'll build it in-house. We have a developer.
- Sometimes that's right and I'll tell you when it is. If you have engineers with spare capacity, build it — you'll own it, it's cheaper, and you don't need us. Usually it isn't capability, it's queue. One developer keeping your systems running is fully allocated to keeping your systems running, and this is the thing that slips to next quarter, every quarter, because nothing breaks if it doesn't happen.
- Who owns what you build?
- You do — code, prompts, documentation, all of it, and it's in the terms rather than something we say on a call. It also physically lives in your tenant. There's no platform of ours it depends on and nothing to migrate if you leave. If you cancel, what you built stays built and stays running.
- Why not just use ChatGPT or Copilot?
- For drafting and summarising, do. They're good and they're cheaper than us. What they don't do is reach into the four systems that hold your operational data, reconcile them on a schedule, and put the result somewhere your team already works. That's the gap we build in, and no seat licence closes it.
Where we work
The problem, in your language
Benefits administration
Eligibility files from nine carriers in nine formats, reconciled by hand every cycle.
Freight and logistics
Detention billed and never collected, because the evidence trail does not exist.
Manufacturing
Your OEE number is measured by hand, so your Pareto chart points at the wrong machine.
Investment operations
AUM grew 22%. Operations headcount did not. The gap is being absorbed manually.
Construction and CRE
Deadlines that cost money, buried in documents nobody has time to read.
Insurance
Loss runs and commission statements, every carrier a different format and cadence.
Your data
Your data never leaves your tenant.
We do not hold your data, because we do not build on our infrastructure. We build inside yours.
Every one of those is implemented today, not aspirational. For most buyers it is a better answer than a certificate, because it describes what actually happens to your data.
- Built inside your own Microsoft tenant
- Entra ID role-based access through security groups
- No static or local accounts
- MFA enforced
- SFTP with IP whitelisting for partner feeds
- Sensitive data masked in every non-production environment
Twenty minutes, and you will know if this fits.
No deck. We ask what your team spends its week on, and tell you honestly whether there is anything here worth doing.
