Kildaris

AI consulting

Find the work AI can take off your team.

Your staff already use AI, mostly through personal accounts nobody tracks. An AI assessment shows you what they use, what it costs, what data it touches and which jobs in your business are worth automating first, on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot.

What an AI assessment covers

A Kildaris AI assessment answers five questions about your business: which AI tools are in use and by whom, what you spend on them, what company data reaches them, which repeating jobs are worth automating, and where your policy has gaps. It takes two to three weeks and ends with a written report you can act on with us or on your own.

  • Inventory.Every AI tool actually in use, including ones paid for on a personal card and browser extensions nobody approved.
  • Spend.Licenses, seats and API usage, matched against the people who open each tool in a normal week.
  • Data exposure.Which systems and files those tools can reach, and whether a vendor agreement covers them.
  • Automation candidates.The busywork worth handing to AI, ranked by hours saved against the effort to build it.
  • Platform fit.Whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot or any other AI platform suits each job best. Sometimes the answer is to pay for fewer tools.

Why most businesses need one now

Most businesses need an AI assessment because AI use at work grew faster than anyone tracked it. Verizon's 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report found AI use on work devices tripled in one year, and two thirds of it runs through personal accounts. Unapproved AI browser extensions are common enough that you should assume your staff have some.

Which AI platforms we work with

We build on and support four platforms: ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot. Other AI tools your staff use, like Perplexity, Notion AI, Grammarly and Cursor, we find, review and bring under policy. Keeping those two lists separate means you know exactly where we can deliver real work.

PlatformWhat we doWhere it usually fits
ChatGPT and the OpenAI APIBuild and supportTeam or Enterprise plans for drafting, research and customer replies, plus API automations
Claude and the Anthropic APIBuild and supportLong documents, contracts and reports, and custom automation work
Google Gemini and WorkspaceBuild and supportCompanies on Gmail, Docs and Sheets who want AI inside the tools they already use
Microsoft 365 CopilotBuild and supportOften already licensed and underused. See Copilot adoption

How much an AI assessment costs

An AI assessment is a fixed fee, quoted after a free call to come in under the typical market cost of about $3,500, and the fee stays the same whatever the findings say. Bigger or more complicated environments cost more, and we tell you which one you are before we start. The price is set low enough to approve without a committee, because the goal is to swap a guess for real numbers.

Assessment or governance audit? The assessment looks for opportunity: what is in use, what it costs and what to automate. The AI governance audit looks for risk: permissions, data loss prevention and policy. If you are about to roll out an AI assistant, you probably want both, and we scope them together.

What happens after the assessment

After the assessment you get a short list of next steps, and you choose which to take. If you already own the right tool and nobody uses it, that is adoption work. If a job is worth handing to AI, that is workflow automation. If data is reaching places it should not, that is AI governance. If the honest answer is to wait, the report says so.

Do you need more AI?

Usually you need better use of the AI you already pay for. Many businesses hold seats on two or three platforms that only a handful of people open each week. Cutting the extras and training the people who stay often saves money and gets more done.

Questions

Common questions

What is an AI assessment?

An AI assessment is a fixed-fee review of the AI tools your business uses, what they cost, what data they can reach and which repeating jobs are worth automating. It takes two to three weeks, ends with a written report, and covers ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and the consumer tools staff pick up on their own.

Should my business use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot or any other AI platform?

It depends on the work and the software you already run. Companies on Microsoft 365 often get the most from Copilot, Google Workspace companies from Gemini, and ChatGPT and Claude are strong for drafting, research and long documents. The assessment tests them against your real tasks before you commit.

Do you offer AI consulting outside New York and New Jersey?

Yes. Kildaris is based in the New York and New Jersey metro, and assessments are mostly remote, so we work with businesses anywhere. We meet on site in the metro when that helps.

How do you find AI tools nobody told IT about?

We check DNS and network logs, browser extensions, sign-in logs and expense reports. Expense reports find the most, because unapproved tools usually get paid for on someone's card.

How much does an AI assessment cost?

A typical assessment costs about $3,500 in the market. Ours is a fixed fee quoted under that after a free 30-minute call. It covers the inventory, spend review, data exposure review and a ranked list of automation candidates. Any build or cleanup work is quoted separately once the scope is clear.

We have not adopted any AI yet. Can you still help?

Yes, and it is an easy place to start. The assessment looks at what staff already do informally, which jobs would benefit first and what needs to be in place before a rollout is safe.

Thirty minutes, and you will know where to start.

No slide deck. We look at what you run, tell you the first thing we would fix or automate, and you decide whether it is worth paying for.
