AI consulting and software, built alongside your team
Practical AI advice and custom software for Australian small businesses and community organisations. We work beside your team, in plain language, so you understand what you are buying and why.
Advice is $220 an hour inc GST. Anything we build has a fixed written quote, agreed before any work starts.
What you can ask us for
A straight answer on where AI fits
Bring us the jobs that eat your week: quoting, rosters, emails, reports, forms. We tell you which ones AI can help with now, which are better done another way, and what each would cost to set up.
An AI policy for your staff
A short, plain-language policy: which AI tools staff may use, what information must never go into them, who approves a new use, and what to tell your customers.
Custom software and AI tools
Software shaped around how your business actually works: tools for your team, tools for your customers, and connections between the systems you already pay for.
A second opinion before you buy
Been quoted for an AI product or a software build? We read the proposal with you and tell you what to ask before you sign.
We can also build alongside your people, so they learn how the system works and how to look after it. See AI coding (Vybrid) for how that kind of project is set up.
Who it is for
Small businesses, sole traders, not-for-profits and community organisations that want to use AI sensibly without hiring a technical team.
You do not need to know the jargon. If you can describe the problem, we can work out together whether AI or new software is the right answer. Sometimes the right answer is a simpler process or a better spreadsheet, and we will say so.
If you are looking for an AI consultant for a small business, a good first step is one conversation about one problem.

Not sure which one you need? Tell us the problem in a few lines and we will tell you.
Three questions to answer before any AI project
Clear answers to these make an AI project cheaper and safer, whoever builds it.
- What is the one task you most want off your plate, and how will you know it is working?
- What information would the tool need to see, and is any of it private or sensitive?
- Who on your team will own it once it is running?
Working through those questions is often the first hour of advice.
Why aXai
aXai is a disability-led AI, software and accessibility company. We build AI systems, software, and concepts and prototypes ready to scale, and we deliver them through AI-supported work: skilled people with disability in real, properly paid roles, working to clear quality standards, with AI removing the barriers and people keeping the accountability.
Every project runs on our own infrastructure, the Decision Bus and Project Layer, so each step is planned, signed off by a person and on the record. That is our operating advantage. Read how it works.
You get plain answers, and a price in writing before any build work starts. Read more about why aXai exists.
Questions
Do we need a big budget?
No. You can start with a single hour of advice and decide after that whether to go further.
We already use AI tools. Can you help us use them better?
Yes. We can look at what you have, help you write clear rules for staff, and show your team how to get more reliable results.
Is our information kept private?
Tell us before you send anything sensitive. Please do not send private details about customers, clients or staff. If your information would be processed outside Australia, we tell you before you decide.
Can you work with the systems we already have?
Often, yes. Tell us what you use and we will say plainly how we would work with it before we quote.
