AI business intelligence consulting
There are 168hrs/wk You should be using all of them.
168 Studio is an AI business-intelligence consultancy. Every hour of your company's week is already getting spent. Most businesses can't see where. We build the AI-powered intelligence that shows you where the hours and money actually go, and what to do about it. It starts with a free one-hour call.
All that data.
Still no answers.
The numbers live in eleven tools
CRM, spreadsheets, the accounting system, someone's inbox. Every report starts with an export, and no two of them agree.
Reporting eats the week
Your smartest people spend days assembling numbers instead of acting on them, and the board deck is stale the day it ships.
Decisions run on gut
Which clients are profitable? Which hours earn? Where's the leak? Everyone has a theory. Nobody has the number.
Start with
one hour
A discovery call, nothing fancier. You walk us through the week: where it hurts, what your people do twice, where the numbers hide. We tell you which of those headaches AI can safely take off your plate, whether that means something we build for you or reputable tooling that already exists.
- Walk through the headaches: where the hours actually vanish
- Flag the repetitive work AI can safely take over
- Custom-built where it earns it, reputable tools where they exist
- Our honest read on whether a Diagnostic makes sense for you
Built, shipped,
used daily.
Built and shipped as a software developer inside a real operating company. Every system cut manual work and saved hours. The company stays unnamed. Ask about any of it on the call.
RAG knowledge system
Answers plain-English questions straight from the company's own documents and systems.
Hours of digging became one question.
Financial automation
Automated the moving, reconciling, and reporting of the company's numbers, end to end.
Data entry ended; the reports ran themselves.
Custom sales software
Built tooling around how the team actually sold, not how a vendor imagined they would.
The software bent; the sales process did not.
Internal comms platform
Replaced Slack for the company's internal communication, built fully in-house.
The vendor bill ended; adoption went company-wide.
Recruiting platform
Replaced Greenhouse: applicant tracking and the full hiring pipeline in one system.
Hiring fit the team; the license fee did not survive.
AI sales trainer
Trains reps in live conversation against an AI buyer that talks back.
Practice became unlimited; real leads stopped paying for it.
Sales pipeline automation
Automated a slice of the sales pipeline end to end, taking the repetitive steps off the team's plate.
Volume scaled; headcount did not.
The same four moves,
every time
-
01
Discover
We start with the headaches, not the tech. Where do the hours vanish? What do your people do twice? Which questions can nobody answer? That list is the job.
-
02
Decide
Not everything deserves custom software. We sort the list: reputable tools where they already exist, custom builds where they earn it, and nothing where AI does not belong.
-
03
Build
Working software, not slideware. Automation, dashboards, agents: built on your systems and your real numbers, the way we built all seven systems above.
-
04
Run
Your team adopts it and it keeps working. Volume scales without added headcount. We leave; the software keeps running.
AI has its place in every company. Finding its place in yours is the whole job. We find the work AI can take off your plate, make the week easier, and free your people up for the work that actually needs them.
Working AI on your own numbers, and a plan you can act on.
Spend one of your
168 on us.
A first conversation is an hour, free, and useful even if we never work together. Bring the problem as you'd describe it to a friend. No deck required.
