AI, applied
to what you
actually do.

A small consultancy that helps businesses figure out where AI fits — then builds the pipelines, chatbots, and agents that make it real. No hype. No jargon. We meet you where it counts.

A note from us

Most AI work right now is sold on hype and delivered on hope. We're betting that a small, patient firm — specific, honest, and willing to say “don’t build this” — is what most businesses actually need. We’re based in Elk Grove Village. We answer our email. We’ll write your roadmap in plain English before you owe us anything.

Services

Four ways we work with you.
Usually, we start with one.

01 · Service

We figure out where AI actually fits — before a single line of code.

Most teams we meet have heard the pitch a hundred times. What they need is an honest look at their business, an inventory of the tasks AI is actually good at today, and a roadmap that starts small. We sit with you, listen, and write the plan down in plain English.

  • Discovery interviews with your team
  • Opportunity map: what's worth it, what isn't
  • Vendor-agnostic recommendations
  • Written roadmap with costs & timelines

How we work

A four-step arc.
Short, honest, in that order.

  1. 01

    Listen

    A pair of short conversations where we learn what actually happens in your business day-to-day. No pitch deck, no jargon test.

    Two 45-min calls · Free
  2. 02

    Map

    We write up where AI genuinely helps, where it doesn't, and where we'd start. You get a roadmap in plain English that's useful even if you never hire us again.

    2–4 weeks · Fixed fee
  3. 03

    Build

    We pick one problem, ship a working version in weeks, and put it in front of the people who'll actually use it. We iterate with real feedback, not committee.

    2–8 weeks · Flat rate
  4. 04

    Tend

    Software isn't done when it ships. We stay on, watch the dashboards, retrain when needed, and make sure the thing keeps earning its keep.

Ask our assistant anything about Sol.

This chat is wired to the same production chatbot platform we build for clients — grounded on Sol's own services, bounded to what it actually knows, and cited when we can be specific.

Hi — I'm the Sol Computing assistant. Ask me about what we do, our process, or how an engagement usually goes. I'll keep it plain-English.

Frequently asked

You've probably wondered.

Don't see yours? Send us the question — we'll answer by email before we'd try to sell you anything.

  • Honestly, that's the ideal starting point. Half the value of our consulting engagement is deciding what NOT to build. If we talk and conclude you shouldn't spend money on AI right now, we'll tell you.
  • No. Most of our clients have messy data — that's the norm, not a disqualifier. Part of what we do is figure out what subset of your data is clean enough to be useful today, and whether cleaning more is worth the effort.
  • No. We pick what fits — sometimes a hosted model, sometimes an open-weights model on your infrastructure. We'll explain the trade-offs and hand you the keys.
  • For most Build and Partner engagements we can deploy within your cloud, on-prem, or behind VPN. We sign NDAs as a matter of course, and we never train third-party models on your data.
  • We've worked with 8-person firms and 200-person firms. If you have one clear recurring pain point and someone who can spend a few hours a week with us, that's usually enough.
  • Our services are primarily delivered in the U.S. We're exploring select international engagements on a case-by-case basis — reach out and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
  • Good — that's often the right move. We document everything, hand over clean code, train your team, and step out. No hostage-taking.

Let’s figure out what’s worth it.
