AI Consulting & Strategy
Our AI consulting team helps businesses identify where AI creates the most value, then builds a clear roadmap to get there. No hype — just practical AI implementation that delivers ROI. From readiness assessments to hands-on deployment, our AI team guides you through every step of your AI transformation.
AI Search Visibility (AEO)
AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews now answer questions about your business directly. We audit what they say, find why they cite competitors instead, and fix the structured data and content they rely on. Citation monitoring runs twice daily on our own tooling.
Corporate AI Training
On-site AI bootcamps built around your team's actual work. Our 2-day bootcamp for Heat Exchange & Transfer, a Pittsburgh-area manufacturer, covered prompt engineering, AI safety and data protection, and department-by-department workflow mapping.
Custom AI Development & Automation
When off-the-shelf tools don't fit, we build the AI system: agents, workflow automation, and integrations with the tools your team already uses. As an OpenAI SMB Channel Partner we also plan and run ChatGPT Business rollouts.

What people are saying
“Our 2 day training session with PulseSpark truly gave us a clear vision about the path we need to take to implement AI into our daily workflows. Their friendly attitudes and flexibility made it an engaging bootcamp for everyone in attendance.”
“PulseSpark showed real expertise in designing AI for a company our size and a strong sensitivity to protecting our proprietary information and customer data.”
“It's a big victory to have knowledge of the best and most efficient ways to prompt — and the trick of leveraging LLMs against each other to hone in on efficiency (or even checking their work) is a great hack.”

As a Pittsburgh AI consulting company, we work as an extension of your team. Every engagement is tailored to your goals, with transparent pricing and measurable outcomes.
Technical Depth
The engineering behind our consulting
We don't only advise on AI. We build and ship our own AI software, and the lessons from running it in production go straight into client work.
Common questions
Everything you need to know about our AI consulting services.
AI consulting is the practice of providing expert guidance to businesses on how to assess, plan, and implement artificial intelligence solutions. We help you identify high-value AI use cases, build implementation roadmaps, and deploy solutions that deliver measurable ROI — whether that's automating manual processes, improving customer experiences, or unlocking insights from your data.
AEO is AI search visibility work: making sure AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews describe and cite your business accurately. We treat it as part of AI consulting — auditing what the engines say about you and fixing the structured data and content they draw from.
Our AI consulting engagements typically range from $5,000 for focused assessments to $25,000+ for comprehensive implementation projects. We offer flexible engagement models including project-based, monthly retainers, and hourly consulting. Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute AI readiness assessment.
We work with businesses of all sizes, from local Pittsburgh companies to national organizations. Our solutions scale to fit your needs and budget. Our engagement models are built to fit small and mid-sized businesses, not just enterprise budgets.
We serve a wide range of industries including manufacturing, healthcare, professional services, SaaS, retail, and more. Our AI consulting approach is adaptable — we start by understanding your specific industry challenges and then apply AI solutions that address those unique needs.
Three things set us apart: First, we're practitioners, not just advisors — we build and deploy AI systems, not PowerPoint decks. Second, we build and ship our own AI software (TierInfer, Rivet, helloAISearch), so our recommendations come from running AI in production. Third, we train your team hands-on so you can sustain and grow AI capabilities internally.
Yes. We offer corporate AI training bootcamps tailored to your industry and team's skill level. Our training covers practical AI tools and workflows your team can start using immediately — from prompt engineering and AI-assisted workflows to building custom AI agents and automation.
SEO optimizes your website for traditional search engines like Google and Bing. AEO optimizes your online presence for AI-powered answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. We focus on AEO as part of our AI consulting work; we don't sell standalone SEO.
Rivet — Open Source AI Agent
We also build open-source tools. Rivet is a local-first AI agent that runs 100% on your machine. No cloud. No telemetry. No vendor lock-in.
Multi-provider support (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, and more), built-in security guardrails, and a real-time dashboard — MIT licensed and free.
