AI consulting
Tell me the problem. I'll build the fix.
For owners and managers who know roughly what they want AI to do, and don't have the time or technical background to build it. I scope it with you, quote before any work starts, build it, and hand it over working.
Good signs this is for you
- Someone on your team types the same reply dozens of times a week
- Reports get built by hand from the same spreadsheets every month
- Enquiries sit unanswered after office hours
- Knowledge lives in one person's head or one person's inbox
- You have tried ChatGPT and want it wired into how you already work
What I build
Deliberately broad, because business problems are. If you are not sure which of these fits, that is what the first conversation is for.
A working automation
Customer messages on WhatsApp or email drafted, replied to or routed automatically, with you approving anything that needs a human eye.
A custom tool or simple dashboard
Something built around your own data, documents and workflow, not a generic template that almost fits.
A connected system
AI linked to your email, spreadsheets and files, so it works with what you already use instead of adding another login.
Strategy and a build plan
Sometimes the right deliverable is a clear, costed plan that you or your team carry out. I'll say so when that is the better answer.
Team training at your office
A private workshop for your staff, built around your documents and your daily tasks, so the whole team starts from the same place.
Ongoing support
Light check-ins or active upkeep after handover, agreed case by case once we both know how much the build really needs.
Four steps, no surprises
Tell me the problem
Not the solution. What is slow, repetitive or annoying right now.
I scope it with you
What is achievable, what it will take and what it will cost. No commitment yet.
I build it
With check-ins as I go, not one big reveal at the end.
You get a working handover
Plus enough understanding to use it and adjust it yourself.
Why work with me
- I run a business too. Jal Pravahika is a third-generation water infrastructure company. I know what a tender deadline, a supplier delay and a month-end look like.
- I use what I recommend. I started with AI in 2022 for our own SOPs, reports and admin, and have built tools and automations for my own use since.
- You deal with me directly. No account manager, no handoff to a junior team.
- You are never locked in. The handover includes how it works, so your team can run it without me.
What it costs
Every problem is different, so every quote is too.
Price depends on how complex the work is, how many of your systems are involved, and whether you want support after handover. I always scope and quote in writing before any work starts, so there is no surprise cost.
The first conversation is free. If the problem is large or unclear, I may suggest a short paid scoping phase first, so you get a firm plan before committing to a build.
Done a workshop already? Past participants often start with a small, fixed-scope build. Mention the session you attended.
Tell me your problem
A few lines is enough. I read every message myself and reply within two working days.
- Based in
- Kolkata. I work with businesses here in person, and elsewhere in India remotely.
- Akhil Sonthalia
Got it. Thank you.
I'll read this myself and reply within two working days, usually on WhatsApp. If it is urgent, message @aibyakhil on Instagram.
