Five kinds of work. One firm that does all of them.
Most firms only advise, or only build, or only train. AI pays off when the same people plan it, put it in, teach your staff and look after it.
Find where AI pays
We study how your company works, rank every opportunity by value and effort, and set the rules for using AI safely.
Advise → 02 · TrainTeach your people
Hands-on sessions built on your staff's own tasks and documents. Most of the time is spent doing, not watching.
Train → 03 · ImplementSet up proven tools
We choose, set up and connect AI products that already exist, in your name, on your accounts.
Implement → 04 · BuildBuild what doesn't exist
Custom AI systems built around your data and the way you work, such as order handling or a company knowledge assistant.
Build → 05 · SupportKeep it working
AI tools slip over time: makers change them, and your prices and documents change. We watch, fix, update and report what each tool saves.
Support → In practiceSee the use cases
Real examples, sorted by size, from quick wins to company-wide change.
Use cases →The first two steps are free.
You don't fill in a form or sign anything. You talk to us about your work, and we tell you in writing where AI could help.
A 20-minute call
You walk us through your day: how orders come in, where work waits, which jobs your people dread. We ask about your work, not about AI.
Your AI Snapshot
Within a week, a short written report: where AI could help you most, and one thing you can start on right away. We walk you through it on a call.
The Assessment
If you want the full picture: two to four weeks of interviews and time on site, ending in a ranked AI Roadmap with a business case and a price for each next step.
Every business has these departments. AI helps in all of them.
A dental office and a steel fabricator sell very different things, but both answer phones, send quotes, chase invoices and train new hires.
What you can count on.
We sell no software
We earn nothing from any maker, so we recommend what fits, including tools you already own.
Your name on everything
You buy every product directly, on your own account. If we part ways, nothing is held hostage.
A person approves what matters
AI drafts. Your people check and send. Nothing important goes out on its own.
Stop at any step
Each phase ends with a decision. You keep everything you paid for, whatever you choose.
"Most businesses hear about AI from someone selling one product. We started Smokestack to be the firm that sells none: we look at your work first, and recommend only what will pay for itself."John and Murat, founders · About us
