AI & Automation
AI that ships as a working feature, not a slide about AI strategy. We build the specific automations, agents, and generative features that save your team or your customers real time.
How We Can Help
A lot of “AI strategy” work produces a roadmap and nothing else. We work the other direction: start from a workflow that's actually slow or a feature people keep asking for, then build the smallest version of it that works — an agent that handles a multi-step task someone's currently doing by hand, a search feature that understands intent instead of keywords, an assistant embedded directly in the product. ACE doesn't only build chatbots — we build AI that sits inside a workflow or a product, doing a specific, useful job.
What We Do
Key capabilities.
AI Strategy & Opportunity Mapping
AI Opportunity Assessment
A short, focused exercise to find the two or three places in your product or operations where AI would save real time or money — not a hundred-slide deck of hypothetical use cases you'll never build.
AI Readiness & Build vs. Buy
An honest read on whether your data, infrastructure, and team are actually ready for the AI feature you have in mind, and whether it's worth building custom or wiring up an existing tool instead.
Generative AI Applications
Custom AI & LLM Applications
Content generation, summarization, and drafting tools built around your actual data and use case, with the guardrails and human review points that separate a reliable feature from an impressive demo that breaks in production.
RAG & Knowledge Intelligence
Retrieval-augmented generation systems that ground an LLM's answers in your own documents, product data, or knowledge base, so responses are based on what's actually true for your business rather than just what the model was trained on.
AI Agents & Agentic Automation
Custom AI Agents
Multi-step, tool-using agents that complete a defined task — researching, drafting, triaging, updating records — with clear boundaries on what they’re allowed to do autonomously and where a human still checks the output.
Multi-Agent & Human-in-the-Loop Workflows
For tasks too complex for a single agent, we coordinate several working together, each with a narrow job, plus the review points that keep a person in control of anything consequential.
AI Workflow Automation
Business Process Automation
Connecting the tools you already use — your CRM, support desk, spreadsheets, internal systems — with n8n or custom logic, so the manual, repetitive parts of a process run themselves. Sometimes this needs AI, sometimes it's simpler automation; we build whichever one actually solves it.
Integrations & Internal Operations Automation
API and SaaS integrations, document automation, and the internal operations work — approvals, notifications, data entry — that quietly eats a team’s time without anyone measuring it until it’s gone.
AI-Powered Product Features
AI Search & Recommendations
Semantic search and recommendation systems that understand what someone is actually looking for, particularly valuable for marketplaces and content-heavy platforms where keyword search alone leaves too much undiscovered.
AI Assistants & Personalization
In-product assistants, smart defaults, and personalization that adapt to how someone actually uses your product, built to fail gracefully when the model gets something wrong rather than breaking the flow around it.
When You Need This
Signs it's time.
You have a specific workflow that's manual and repetitive and want to know if AI can realistically fix it
Customers are asking for AI features and you need something that actually works, not a marketing checkbox
Your support or sales team is answering the same questions repeatedly and could use an AI-assisted first line
Search or discovery in your product isn't surfacing the right results
ACE's Approach
The starting point is always the workflow or feature, never the technology — the question is never 'how do we use AI,' it's 'what's slow, manual, or missing, and does AI actually help here.' Often the honest answer is a simpler automation or a better UI, and tools like n8n handle a lot of what gets loosely called "AI automation" without needing a model at all — we'll tell you which one yours actually needs instead of building an AI feature for its own sake.
Why ACE
Why ACE for AI & Automation
We build the product the AI feature lives inside, so integration isn't an afterthought bolted onto an existing system by a separate AI vendor — it's designed in from the start, with fallbacks for when the model is wrong and monitoring so you know when it's drifting. That's a different result than an AI proof-of-concept that never quite makes it into the real product.
What We Deliver
AI opportunity assessment & use case prioritization
Model integration, fine-tuning, or RAG pipeline setup
Agent or workflow automation build (including n8n where appropriate)
Production integration with existing systems
