What we build

End-to-end AI solutions

From autonomous agents to workflow automation — we build the AI systems that transform how your business operates.

Custom AI Agents

Purpose-built autonomous agents trained on your data, integrated with your systems, and optimized for your KPIs. These agents learn and improve continuously — making better decisions every week.

  • Deep integration with CRM, ERP, and internal tools
  • Continuous learning and self-improvement
  • Human-in-the-loop approval workflows

Workflow Automation

End-to-end automation of the repetitive decisions and multi-step processes that drain your team. From approval chains to conditional routing, our agents handle the work while maintaining full compliance.

  • Multi-step process automation
  • Conditional logic and intelligent branching
  • Built-in error handling and recovery
  • Complete audit trails for compliance

Analytics & Intelligence Agents

AI agents that monitor your data sources 24/7, surface hidden patterns, and proactively alert you to opportunities and risks. Go beyond dashboards — agents that think for you.

  • Automated reporting and anomaly detection
  • Cross-source pattern discovery
  • Natural language insight generation
  • Revenue impact quantification

Conversational AI

Sophisticated conversational agents for your team and customers. Multi-turn context, domain expertise, and seamless human handoff when it matters most.

Why Keelo

How we're different

Most AI consulting firms deliver reports. We deliver running systems.

We ship agents, not decks

Most consulting firms deliver a strategy document and walk away. We design, build, and deploy production-grade AI agents that run your operations.

Fixed-price, scoped engagements

No open-ended retainers. Every engagement starts with a scoped Discovery phase and ends with a fixed-price quote. You know exactly what you're getting.

Weeks to value, not months

Single-workflow agents deploy in 4-8 weeks. We start with the highest-impact workflow so you see ROI while we expand coverage.

Agents that get smarter

Every agent includes continuous learning loops. They track outcomes, calibrate confidence, and improve autonomously. Month twelve is transformative.

Our process

From discovery to production

A proven four-phase approach. Every engagement starts with scoped Discovery and ends with agents running in production.

01

Discovery

We map your workflows, data stack, pain points, and business goals. No slide decks — we get into the system to understand what needs to change.

02

Design

Custom agent architecture with clear success metrics, integration plans, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints. You approve every design decision.

03

Build

Iterative development with weekly demos. Shadow mode testing against your real data before anything goes live. Typically 4-8 weeks for single-workflow agents.

04

Deploy & Optimize

Production deployment with monitoring, alerting, and continuous optimization. Your agents get smarter every week as they learn from outcomes.

Industries we serve

AI agents for every industry

Any business with repeatable workflows, decision-making bottlenecks, or data-intensive processes can benefit from custom AI agents.

Why custom AI

Off-the-shelf tools can't do this

Generic SaaS tools automate tasks. Custom AI agents automate decisions — the kind that require understanding your specific business, your data, and your competitive landscape.

FAQ

Common questions about AI consulting

What does an AI consulting firm do?

An AI consulting firm like Keelo helps businesses design, build, and deploy custom AI systems. Unlike generic SaaS tools, AI consultants build solutions tailored to your specific workflows, data sources, and business goals. This includes discovery and workflow mapping, agent architecture design, production development, system integration, deployment with monitoring, and ongoing optimization.

How much does AI consulting cost?

AI consulting costs depend on complexity and scope. A single-workflow agent with standard integrations typically starts at $15,000 to $50,000. Multi-agent systems with custom models and extensive integrations can reach six figures. Most businesses see positive ROI within 3 to 6 months through efficiency gains and cost reduction. Keelo provides fixed-price quotes after a scoped Discovery phase — no surprises.

How long does it take to build and deploy custom AI agents?

A single-workflow agent can be designed, built, and deployed in 4 to 8 weeks. More complex multi-agent systems with extensive integrations typically take 3 to 6 months. Keelo deploys in phases — starting with the highest-impact workflow so you see value quickly while expanding coverage over time.

What is the difference between an AI consulting firm and an AI agency?

The terms are often used interchangeably. AI consulting firms typically emphasize strategy and advisory work, while AI agencies may focus more on implementation and execution. Keelo combines both — we provide strategic guidance on where AI creates the most value, then we build and deploy the agents ourselves. You get one team from strategy through production.

Do I need an internal AI team to work with Keelo?

No. Keelo handles all technical work — design, engineering, deployment, and optimization. Your team contributes domain knowledge and workflow expertise, not AI skills. After deployment, agents are managed through dashboards, notifications, and approval workflows that anyone on your team can use.

What systems can custom AI agents integrate with?

Keelo builds integrations with virtually any system that has an API — including CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot), ERPs (NetSuite, SAP), e-commerce platforms (Shopify, WooCommerce), accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero), project management tools, ATS platforms, EHR systems, TMS platforms, POS systems, and custom internal tools.
