The problem
Buying software is easy. Making it stick is the hard part.
Most small and mid-sized teams don’t need another app or an “AI transformation.” They need one leaky workflow fixed properly — quotes chased, invoices collected, reports done on time — with a clear owner and a number that proves it’s working.
AICG does the thinking and the building, so the fix lands in your team’s day-to-day instead of dying in a demo.
How a fix comes together
Fixing a workflow takes more than installing an app.
We connect the pieces that make a fix actually stick: the right problem to start with, data you can trust, automation with a human in the loop, and a simple routine your team keeps using.
Make your data usable
We work with the spreadsheets, CRM, and email your business already runs on — and clean up what the fix depends on.
Automate, human in the loop
AI drafts, reminds, and summarizes; your team approves. The busywork disappears — the judgment stays yours.
Make it stick
Simple rules, a short walkthrough, and a weekly number that shows it’s working — so the fix becomes a habit, not a memory.
