ai consulting and product development

An AI consultancy that ships its own products.

Cyces is an AI consultancy that builds. We help you figure out where AI actually pays dividends, then help build it with your own people, embedding ourselves as your reliable tech partner.

Or a coffee if you are in town, that works too :)

the ai readiness assessment

How AI-ready are you?

Our AI Readiness Assessment will tell you where you stand, and where the first dollar should go, before you build anything.

Where does your company's data live today?
Mostly one core system
A few systems, plus spreadsheets
Many systems that rarely talk

what we actually do

Most of the value is in the boring half.

Data plumbing. Internal tools. The workflow nobody wants to own. That is where AI earns its ROI in a mid-sized business, and it is where we spend most of our time.

"We are less interested in what a model can do in a demo, and more in whether it still runs without us."

Innovation platform
An innovation platform for 15,000 people, shipped in 90 days.

Good ideas were stuck inside teams and never reached the people who could fund them. We built one place to post an idea, gather backing and push it toward implementation, across Mitsubishi Fuso in Japan and Daimler India Commercial Vehicles.

One governed data lake, and a roadmap the board could act on.

Student records, learning management, financial aid, HR and research sat in five systems that had never spoken to each other. We built AC's central data lake, moved them off legacy ETL, set the governance rules, then helped put together a phased AI roadmap which we continue to execute together.

the story

The Story.

Act I.

Assess.

We start by looking at what you already have rather than reinventing the wheel. What you actually need and do not need, before anything gets built.

Act II.

Build.

Your people and your existing tech sit inside the build. Production-grade work on the same foundation we ship our own products on, with evals and governance woven in from day one.

Act III.

Enablement.

The IP stays yours. Code, prompts, evals, agents, all of it. We train your team to run it, and stay on as your trusted tech partner.

what we build on

Our Lego Blocks.

Four products, one shared foundation. Your build sits on the same base, which is why it arrives in weeks and does not fall over in month three.

week two
Discovery.
We sit with your operators and walk the floor. Every workflow gets mapped, timed and costed, and the tools you already pay for get counted before anything new is proposed.
You leave the fortnight with a ranked list of where AI pays, a dollar figure against each item, and a recommended priority list.
Everything after this week is built on what we find here.
week four
Design.
The chosen workflow is rebuilt around your data. We design the screens, the plumbing and the guardrails with the people who will run it, not around them.
A working MVP lands in their hands by the end of the fortnight, wired to your real systems, feeding an iterative feedback cycle.
Your team sees something real & usable, not a Powerpoint.
week six
Pilot.
The build runs on live work while we file off the rough edges. Your people use it every day, tell us what is wrong, and we fix it the same week.
By the end of the Pilot, the system runs without us watching and we know the number it moves. Scaling it becomes a decision, not a hope, and the rollout plan writes itself.
One workflow off the list, with a number attached to it.
week eight
Scale.
We harden what the pilot proved, document it, and train the people who will own it day to day.
Then we go again. The next workflow on the Discovery list gets exponentially quicker because the foundation is already built. We become your trusted tech partner, not just advising but building alongside you.
Sky's the limit.
the questions you are already asking

FAQs.

What does this cost?+

We price two ways: fixed scope, or a dynamic scope that flexes as the work does. We scope it with you, put both in front of you, and help you pick the one that fits how your team works.

Will we have to rebuild this in twelve months?+

The models will keep changing. The foundation should not. We build on the same data, auth and governance layer our own products run on, so swapping a model is a configuration change, not a stripped rebuild.

Where does our data sit, and who can see it?+

We follow standard data security and privacy practice, and we work to the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988. Exactly where your data sits and who can reach it is agreed in writing before anything is connected.

How soon do we see something working?+

A working version is in your hands inside the first 30 days. From there we iterate on what your team tells us once they are using it. Picking the right first workflow is the part most people are unsure about.

We don't know where to start. Can you tell us?+

That is exactly what the AI readiness assessment is for. Take it, then book a call and we will go through where you are and what the first move should be.

We'll make AI ready. Are You?
