Your compass for all things AI

Stop drowning in operations.
Start scaling your business.

AI automation for small and mid-size businesses. We automate the repetitive tasks that pull you away from the work you love.

TL;DR

Compass AI Consulting is an AI automation firm, registered in Florida and working with clients in the US and Europe, in English, Spanish and Italian. We run short paid discoveries, build the systems that come out of them, and hand them to your team to run.

What we fix

Three problems we hear every week

Manual admin

"My team retypes the same information into four different places."

Quotes, intake forms, reports, invoices, social posts. Work that is necessary, repetitive and quietly expensive.

What we build: workflows that move and check the data for you, with a human approving what matters.

Where AI fits

"Everyone says we should use AI. Nobody can tell us where."

Long lists of ideas, no way to rank them, and no honest read on what is actually buildable with the data you hold today.

What we build: a short discovery that ends in a ranked roadmap instead of a wish list.

Sensitive data

"Our data is confidential. We cannot just paste it into ChatGPT."

Law firms, healthcare and finance teams that are told to adopt AI and forbidden to send client information anywhere.

What we build: private, self-hosted systems, so the data stays on infrastructure you control.

How it works

Diagnose, prioritize, build and hand off

  1. Step 01

    Diagnose

    We interview the people doing the work and map how it actually runs, not how the process document says it runs.

  2. Step 02

    Prioritize

    Every candidate gets a feasibility check: what exists off the shelf, what it would cost to build, and the pros and cons of each. You get a ranked roadmap.

  3. Step 03

    Build and hand off

    We break the project into phases, each one a working piece your team can use before the next starts. Then we train your team and hand over the system, the documentation and the keys.

Services

Three ways to work with us

Start here

AI discovery / audit

We interview the people doing the job, map how it actually runs, and check what is realistic with the data you hold today.

  • A ranked roadmap of what to automate
  • A feasibility check on every candidate, with its pros and cons
  • An honest recommendation, even when it is do not build this yet
  • Yours to keep, and yours to take elsewhere

Fixed fee, scoped to the size of the business and quoted after a first call.

Build

Build and hand-off

We build what the roadmap ranked first, in small phases you can watch working, on the tools your team already uses. When the data cannot leave your control, we build it on infrastructure you own.

  • Working systems delivered in phases, each measured against how the work runs today
  • Training for the people who will use it
  • Documentation, accounts and code handed over
  • No lock-in and no dependency on us

Fixed fee per phase, quoted once the first phase is scoped.

After hand-off

Fractional AI lead

For clients who would rather not hand the thinking back. It stays the same person who built your systems, now on the inside, without adding anyone to your payroll.

  • A standing working session each week
  • Continuous improvements to what is already running
  • First call on anything that breaks or changes
  • A quarterly look at what is worth building next

An ongoing engagement, reviewed every quarter.

Work

Systems we have built

Manual admin E-commerce brand Content operations

Ten hours a month on social posts, for one person

A small online retailer needed daily posts on Instagram and Facebook. Writing captions, producing images and scheduling them fell on the owner, and it kept slipping.

We built a content pipeline that generates a month of posts at a time, writes captions in the brand's own voice, generates the images with AI, and pulls live inventory from Shopify so it only features products actually in stock. Everything lands in a review queue: the owner approves or edits, and the system publishes on schedule to both channels.

10 hrs a month of posting, down to 30 to 60 min of reviewing 90 to 95% less time

Ten hours a month down to half an hour or one hour is a reduction of 90 to 95%, on the owner's own estimate of the work before and after.

Three posts the pipeline wrote, illustrated and published, captions included. Images generated with AI. Click a post to read it full size. The brand's name and handle are blurred.

The team helped us think through AI in a way that actually made sense for our escape room business. The process was practical, collaborative, and grounded in how we really operate.

Training your team on what we build is part of the hand-off. These are the same explanations, recorded. No slides, no jargon.

Why Compass AI Consulting

Many AI consultants sell you a build. We start by asking if you need one.

Honest first

Sometimes the answer is "don't build it"

If a tool you already pay for can do the job, we tell you. That costs us a project. It also means that when we do say build, you know we mean it. We are here to fix the problem, not to sell you a build.

Measured

Phases you can measure, not one big bet

Every build is split into small phases. Each one starts by measuring how the process runs today and stating where it should land. If nobody measured the before, nobody can honestly tell you the after was an improvement.

Tailored

No one-size-fits-all

Your business is not a template, so your system does not come from one. We start from how your team actually works, quirks included, and build for that. The same solution handed to everyone fits nobody.

Your tools

We build on your stack

Your team keeps the tools it already knows. We connect them, fill the gaps and automate what sits between them. If a tool really is the problem we will tell you. No rip and replace. If something new is needed, we train the people who will use it.

Who you are hiring

You work with the people who build it

FAQ

Questions we get before the first call

How does an engagement usually start?
With a short paid discovery. We interview your team, map the work, and come back with a ranked roadmap of what to automate and what to leave alone. You can stop there and take the roadmap to anyone, including your own team.
Do we have to keep paying you to keep the system running?
No. We hand over the system, the documentation and the credentials, and we train the people who will run it. Some clients keep us on afterwards as a fractional AI lead. That is a choice, not a condition.
Our data is confidential. Where does it go?
That depends on what your rules allow, and we agree it in writing before any work starts. Where sending data to an outside provider is not acceptable, we build on infrastructure you own, so the data never leaves it.
What do you build with?
Mostly self-hosted workflow automation, databases and custom code, with the AI models chosen per task. We prefer tools your team can read and audit over a black box only we understand.
I am not technical. Can I still do this?
Yes. We build the system and train the people who will use it. If your team can use email and a shared drive, they can run what we hand over.
We already tried AI tools and they did not stick. Why would this be different?
Generic tools sit beside the work instead of inside it, so using them is extra effort and people quietly stop. We build into the process your team already follows, so the system does the step rather than reminding someone to do it.
How long before we see something working?
Builds are split into small phases, so the first working piece lands in weeks rather than months. Each phase starts from a measurement of how the process runs today, so you can see what changed instead of taking our word for it.
Could we take your roadmap and build it ourselves?
Yes, and some clients do. The discovery is yours once it is paid for, including the feasibility notes and the ranked list. We would rather you build it in-house than pay us for something your team can do.
Where are you based, and what languages do you work in?
Compass AI Consulting LLC is registered in Florida and works with clients across the US and Europe, remotely. We work in English, Spanish and Italian.

Grow your profits, save your time, do what you love

The systems we build give people their week back. The first call is 30 minutes and free: long enough to hear what is eating your week and tell you honestly whether there is something here worth looking at. What to automate, what it is worth and what it costs comes out of the paid discovery that follows.
