What makes this practice different

Your people lose hours every day to data entry, research, drafting, formatting, and synthesis. Each engagement finds those workflows, then either builds the tool that automates them or empowers your team to automate them with the AI platform you already pay for.

Both sides of AI: building and adoption
Most firms do one or the other. This practice ships production software and also runs the coaching and cohort programs that get skeptical staff using AI every day.
One senior engineer, end to end
Twenty-five years of software engineering and a former startup founder and CTO. No agency layers, no handoffs.
AI that empowers your people
The goal is never to replace your staff. The tools and training take the tedious work off their plates, so their expertise goes further and their time goes to the work only they can do.
Accuracy first
AI proposes, people approve. For high-stakes work, tools quote source text word for word instead of generating prose, and every important output gets a human review step.
Built to ship
The goal is a tool in daily use, not a slide deck or a proof of concept that stalls.
Results that stay with your team
When an engagement ends, the tools are in daily use and your staff know how to get more out of AI without outside help.

Six services, each backed by delivered work

AI adoption and enablement

One-on-one coaching, functional cohorts, all-staff trainings, internal champions, and a living best-practices guide.

Delivered An ongoing embedded program at a mid-size strategy consultancy, from executives to junior staff.

Custom AI applications

Internal web apps that replace spreadsheets, legacy systems, and copy-and-paste workflows. Full stack: backend, frontend, database, cloud hosting, and browser extensions.

Delivered Rebuilt a media-intelligence firm's daily briefing platform and shipped it to production in about 3.5 months.

AI document and data automation

Pipelines that take messy inputs (court forms, news transcripts, financial holdings, interview notes) and turn them into structured, reviewable output, with a human approval step.

Delivered An asset-classification pipeline for a multi-billion-dollar family office.

AI integrations and connectors

Secure connectors (MCP servers) that let Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini read from and write to the systems your team already uses. Read-only by default, approval required on every write, enterprise single sign-on.

Delivered Connectors for an investment portfolio platform, a legal matter-management system, and a donor database.

Packaged AI assistants

Reusable assistants (skills and agents) built inside the AI platform you already pay for, so staff get expert help without learning a new app.

Delivered 10 legal skills covering 159 court jurisdictions, deployed firm-wide.

AI strategy, audits, and advisory

Platform audits, build-versus-buy decisions, vendor evaluations, AI policy basics, hiring help, and fractional CTO support.

Delivered A vendor evaluation that cut redundant AI subscriptions at a strategy consultancy, and an AI roadmap with data-privacy guidance.

Technical depth behind the services

  • Evaluation and quality measurement Test suites for AI output, model bake-offs, and reports that compare AI output to human edits.
  • Learning loops Human corrections are captured and fed back to improve prompts and rules over time.
  • Hybrid design Fixed rules handle the predictable 90%, and AI handles only the ambiguous cases. This cuts cost and error.
  • Multi-agent research Large research jobs split across many parallel AI agents, each working from primary documents only.
  • Cost control Model selection, batch pricing, and infrastructure moves that cut AI and cloud bills.
  • Your data stays yours AI tools get only the access they need, can't change anything without your approval, and run inside systems you control.

How an engagement runs

  1. Listen first

    A discovery call and short interviews to find the workflows that eat the most time.

  2. Prototype fast

    A working proof of value on real data within weeks, not a slide deck.

  3. Build or enable

    Ship the production tool, or coach your team to build it themselves, whichever fits the problem.

  4. Measure

    Evaluations, accuracy checks, and before-and-after time comparisons.

  5. Hand off

    Documentation, training, and tools your own staff can run and extend.

  6. Support

    An optional monthly retainer for maintenance, new features, and ongoing coaching.

Engagements are fixed-price builds, capped audits, hourly advisory, or monthly retainers. Work is remote nationwide and in person in the Washington, DC area.

Who this is for

Any team that runs on deep expertise and has no engineers of its own. Work so far has been in these fields:

  • Advocacy, nonprofit, and mission-driven organizations
  • Public affairs, communications, and strategy consultancies
  • Media monitoring and intelligence firms
  • Law firms and legal nonprofits
  • Wealth management and family offices
  • Philanthropy and climate organizations

Not on this list? The approach is the same in any field: find the work that eats your team's hours, then automate it.

Your team keeps whichever AI platform it already uses (Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini). Nothing forces a switch.

About Nir Hauser

Nir Hauser is an AI engineer and founder based in the Washington, DC area, with 25 years of software engineering experience.

Nir builds the whole stack: Python backends, React and TypeScript frontends, PostgreSQL, cloud hosting, and AI integrations across Claude, OpenAI, and Gemini. That includes daily work with the current AI toolchain: agentic workflows, MCP servers, skills, Gemini Workspace flows, evaluation harnesses, and multi-agent research.

Which workflows eat your team's time?

The first call is a conversation about where the hours go and how a tool or a training program would get them back.
