CONSULTING / AI

AI where it earns its place. Nowhere it doesn't.

We find where AI can speed up how your business runs, then wire it into the tools and flows you already use. Solutions consultancy with a service-design background, focused on the wins that matter, not theatre.

We’re solutions consultants first, AI people second. A background in service design means we start with the whole journey, the people, the handoffs, the friction, and only reach for AI where it genuinely speeds you up or saves money. We’ll happily wire Claude, ChatGPT, or an agent into the tools you already run, and we’ll just as readily tell you when the honest answer is that you don’t need AI for this. No theatre, no bolt-ons, no setups that look impressive and do nothing.

And when we do build with AI, we still sweat the details. We use it to move faster, not as an excuse to ship sloppy, vibe-coded work like so much of what gets thrown together now.

What we do

AI-01

Find the wins

We map how you actually work and find where AI saves real time or money. A service-design background means we look at the whole journey, not the shiny demo. Impact first, tools second.

AI-02

Speed up your processes

We wire AI into the workflows your team already runs, so the busywork shrinks and throughput goes up. Fewer manual steps, faster turnarounds.

AI-03

Work with your stack

Claude, ChatGPT, Claude routines, whatever you already run. AI in the flows your team lives in, not another tool to babysit.

AI-04

Agents, where they fit

We set up and integrate agents, Hermes, OpenClaw, or custom, but only where they carry real weight. Scoped, safe, and observable.

AI-05

Prove it, or don't ship it

Honest evals and measurement. If it won't move the needle, we say so. No theatre, no bolt-ons, no setups that look clever and quietly do nothing.

AI-06

Custom solutions

If nothing off the shelf fits how you work, we build it custom. Tools, integrations, and workflows shaped around your team, so the tech bends to you, not the other way around.

START HERE

One week. The AI moves actually worth making.

Everyone starts here. You tell us how the work really gets done, we map your tools, handoffs, and time sinks, then we sit down for half an hour and hand you the two or three places AI will pay off, with the first one scoped and ready to build. Free.

ROADMAP

One roadmap: six stages to AI you actually own.

Map what you already have

  • Tool and subscription inventory

    Every tool you pay for, mapped to the team that actually uses it.

  • Service blueprint

    The whole journey: the people, the handoffs, and where the friction really sits.

  • Time sinks

    The repetitive work quietly eating hours every week.

PROCESS

How we work

  1. 01

    Map the service

    We map the whole flow, the people, the handoffs, the friction, before anyone mentions a model.

  2. 02

    Find where it matters

    We rank opportunities by real impact, not novelty. Often the fix is small. Sometimes it's an agent.

  3. 03

    Wire it into your flow

    We integrate AI into the tools you already use, so it fits how your team actually works day to day.

  4. 04

    Prove it or kill it

    Honest evals and measurement. If it doesn't earn its place in production, it doesn't ship.

TESTIMONIALS

What clients say

Mania came in, understood the product fast, and gave Loadout the clarity it needed. The work felt sharp, practical, and immediately usable.
KieranLoadout
Working with Mania was unlike any agency experience I've had. They move fast, communicate clearly, and the output is consistently exceptional.
Nicholas0xlaunch
Kosta built our design system from the ground up. It's now the foundation our entire product team ships from every day.
TomPLAYA3ULL Games
They took a genuinely complicated product brief and turned it into something our users actually love. The craft here is remarkable.
