AI Consulting: Confusion to Confidence
Your competitors leveraging AI are accelerating ahead, maximizing delight, value and improving decision-making. But you’re stuck with the same old problems, repeating and looming bigger than before. You know AI is the answer—but where do you start & how do you do the right thing?
Codewave AI consulting resolves the confusion. We start by examining your pain points – such as manual data processing hogging resources, random sales predictions affecting revenue, or customer support backlogs affecting NPS.
Think of a retail store manager who needs to decide how many winter coats to stock. Instead of guessing based on last year’s numbers, AI can analyze weather forecasts, social media trends, and historical sales to suggest precise ordering quantities. That’s the power of AI—turn everyday business headaches into opportunities for growth.

AI Consulting That Drives Tangible Business Outcomes
Is your business struggling to use AI effectively? You need clear, practical guidance to turn AI potential into real results.
We begin with need sensing. Our approach begins with need sensing through discovery workshops. These sessions help us identify critical areas of your business that need meaningful transformation (sales, marketing, operations, customer service, hiring etc) and create detailed journey maps and service blueprints. This allows us to pinpoint current challenges and visualize the desired future state of your operations.
For example, to enhance your Customer Effort Score (CES) or Customer Satisfaction (CSAT), we analyze existing customer interactions to identify pain points. We then come up with AI solutions, such as an AI Copilot or dedicated agent, designed to transform moments of frustration into delightful experiences.
Inconsistent data formats and data silos hinder your ability to extract valuable insights and drive growth. We use SQL and Python to evaluate and cleanse your data to fix this. Pandas and Talend help us to merge data from various sources into a unified system. Apache Hadoop ensures your data is scalable and accessible, providing a solid foundation for your AI initiatives.
For example, imagine a retail business trying to unify customer purchase data from online and in-store channels. The process identifies inconsistencies, cleans up missing entries, and organizes data in a standardized format–accurately predicts customer preferences and optimizes marketing campaigns.
Want to create human-like video AI bots to speak to your customers or simplify generating software code? Our consultants identify areas where generative AI provides maximum value. OpenAI’s GPT generates dynamic content be it realtime customer communication, marketing, or documentation. MidJourney assists in creating visual designs, while DALL·E produces unique imagery tailored to your needs. These tools are integrated seamlessly to enhance workflows and achieve impactful results.
For example, imagine a hospitality brand launching a new campaign. Generative AI crafts personalized promotional emails, designs custom visuals for social media and generates engaging ad copy based on audience preferences.
We eliminate the guesswork and ensure critical business decisions are backed by reliable data analysis.
We use Power BI and Tableau to visualize data trends and Python-based machine learning models to analyze patterns and forecast outcomes. These insights integrate seamlessly into workflows, enabling faster, more effective decision-making.
For example, a manufacturing company struggling with production inefficiencies can benefit from AI-driven insights. The system recommends optimized schedules by analyzing equipment performance and demand forecasts, reducing downtime and cutting operational costs.
Hyperautomation consulting enables businesses to simplify repetitive processes, reduce manual effort, and improve operational efficiency. It combines AI, machine learning, and robotic process automation (RPA) to create end-to-end automated workflows.
The process focuses on identifying automation opportunities across your operations. Using RPA platforms like UiPath and machine learning algorithms, our consultants design workflows that integrate seamlessly into your systems. This approach accelerates processes, enhances accuracy, and frees up resources for strategic tasks.
For example, imagine a travel agency automating the process of sending itinerary confirmations to clients. Hyperautomation integrates booking systems with automated email tools, ensuring clients receive accurate details instantly, reducing manual effort and improving customer delight.
Poorly trained models often lead to unreliable predictions, incorrect actions and missed opportunities, so continuous training and optimization is crucial for extracting maximum value from AI.
Our team uses advanced frameworks like PyTorch and Scikit-learn to develop and fine-tune models based on your business needs. Regular performance evaluations and retraining cycles ensure the models adapt to changing data patterns and deliver consistent results.
For example, imagine a retailer improving its demand forecasting model. By optimizing the model with updated seasonal trends, customer data and even external datasets like weather, it predicts inventory requirements more accurately, reducing stockouts and overstocking.
Seamlessly integrate AI models into your existing operational workflows, ensuring maximum impact of your AI efforts. Many businesses face challenges in seamlessly embedding AI solutions into their existing systems, which can limit the value AI provides.
Our consultants work on deploying AI into your applications to ensure it integrates with your ERP, CRM, and other systems. We use AWS SageMaker to facilitate a smooth deployment process.
For example, imagine a hospital integrating an AI-powered scheduling tool into its existing systems. The AI syncs with patient records and staff availability, creating optimized schedules that reduce wait times and enhance operational efficiency.
AI ethics and compliance advisory ensures your AI solutions are transparent, fair, and aligned with regulatory standards. Non-compliance can lead to reputational risks, legal challenges, and customer distrust.
Our AI Consultants establish guidelines and frameworks to ensure ethical AI implementation. They use IBM AI Fairness 360 to assess bias, while compliance checks address standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, and industry-specific regulations.
For example, imagine a financial institution deploying an AI credit risk assessment tool. Consultants validate the tool to ensure it doesn’t discriminate against applicants based on gender or ethnicity, aligning with regulatory and ethical standards while building customer trust.
Outcomes-first AI Interventions
Integrating AI into your business for impact, requires a structured approach. Our process focuses on understanding your needs, developing a clear strategy, and ensuring tight implementation to drive real results. Here’s how we do it:
The first step is understanding your business objectives, challenges, and how AI fits into your vision. We define key problems AI can solve and align the AI strategy with your goals. Tools like Miro help us create service blueprints and visualize the future, while Jira tracks tasks and milestones to ensure ideas are executed effectively.
We focus on understanding user behavior to ensure the AI solution fits your audience. By developing detailed personas and mapping out user journeys, we ensure the AI system serves real needs of users and the business. Google Analytics gives insights into user behavior, while Hotjar helps us gather real-time feedback, enhancing the user-centric design. We also implement custom tracking to monitor your business KPIs that matter.
We align on your Business success criteria - what a successful business means to you. We agree on the metrics that can indicate you’re succeeding, such as improved cNPS or customer engagement or reduced time/cost. Power BI helps us to track these KPIs in real time, while Google Data Studio helps generate custom reports, providing clear insights into the business impact after implementing the AI solution.
After mapping out the strategy, we begin developing and deploying your AI solution. We use GitHub for version control and collaboration, AWS SageMaker for building and deploying machine learning models, and Kubernetes for scalable deployment, ensuring the system continuously improves based on real-world data and feedback.
