AI Consulting in Australia That Ends With a Working System

Njin is a Sydney based AI consultancy for Australian B2B businesses. One call, a scope with a number on it, then a system your team owns. No paid discovery phase and no report at the end.

The Problem

Shopping for AI consulting in Australia turns up two kinds of quote. A global consultancy at enterprise rates, or an offshore shop that has never seen how your business runs. Neither one is built for a mid-sized Australian business.

  • The large firms quote against enterprise budgets and then put a graduate on your project
  • Offshore rates look cheap until you count the hours spent explaining your business at 2am
  • Every proposal comes back as a discovery phase with a report at the end and no build attached
  • You cannot tell from a website which Australian firms build the thing and which ones resell someone else's
  • Nobody will name a number until you have sat through three calls with a salesperson

A six-week discovery that ends in a slide deck costs you the six weeks and the budget. At the end of it you are no closer to a working system than the day you started.

What most Australian businesses want is simpler. Someone local who looks at the work, says plainly what AI can and cannot do for it, then builds the part that pays.

The The One-Call Scope

We work out what the build is on the first call, not across a paid discovery phase. You get a fixed scope in Australian dollars with the outcome named on it. Then we build it with your team and hand the whole thing over.

1

One call, not a discovery phase

Forty-five minutes on what the work actually is, where the hours go and what you want to be different. We will tell you on that call if AI is the wrong answer, and we will say why.

Deliverable: A straight answer on whether there is a build here

2

A scope with a number on it

You get a written scope, a fixed price in Australian dollars and the outcome we are aiming at. Not an hourly rate and not a range that moves once the work starts.

Deliverable: Fixed scope, fixed price and an agreed success measure

3

Built in your working day

We build it inside the tools you already run, with your team watching each week. Reviews happen in Australian hours, so a question on Tuesday morning gets answered Tuesday morning.

Deliverable: A working system connected to your live tools

4

Handed to your team

You receive the logic, the prompts, the connections and the documentation. We train your people to change it and extend it. Ongoing support is available if you want it, not a condition of keeping your own system running.

Deliverable: A trained team and full ownership of the build

Traditional Approach Our Approach ROI Impact
A paid discovery phase that ends in a report A scoped build quoted after one call The budget goes into the system instead of the study
Enterprise rates set for ASX-sized budgets Scoped and quoted in Australian dollars for a business your size You know the number before you commit to anything
A delivery team working a shift you never see Sydney based, so reviews land inside your working day Questions get answered the same day instead of the next one

Results You Can Expect

An Australian team, in your working day

We are based in Sydney and work with B2B businesses across Australia and New Zealand. Meetings sit in your calendar at a sensible hour and handover happens face to face on a call, not in a document dump at midnight.

Meet the AI consultants

Scoped to an outcome, quoted in dollars

Before we build anything we agree what should be different when it is done. Hours back per week, faster replies, fewer things dropped. If the number will not move, we say so and you keep your money.

How we scope a consulting engagement

A roadmap that arrives with a build plan

Strategy is useful right up until it becomes the deliverable. Ours names what to build first, what it costs and who runs it once it is live.

See the strategy work

The busywork goes first

The fastest return in most Australian businesses is not a clever model. It is the copy, paste and chase that eats a day of someone's week. We automate that first and fund the rest of the work with the time it gives back.

See what we automate

Custom builds when off the shelf will not do it

Some processes cannot be fixed with a connector and a form. When you need something built properly we develop it, integrate it with your systems and hand over the code.

No mystery about the price

We will tell you what drives the cost and roughly where your job lands before you book a second call. You should not have to sit through a sales process to find out if something is affordable.

What drives the cost of an AI build

How It Works

1

The first call

Week 1

We talk through the work you want changed, where the hours go now and what good looks like. You leave the call knowing whether there is a build here and roughly what it involves.

Process and hours understood Outcome named A straight yes or no on whether AI helps
2

Scope and price

Weeks 1-2

We write the scope, fix the price in Australian dollars and agree the measure we will judge it on. Access to the tools and data gets sorted here, because that is what slows most projects down.

Written scope and fixed price Success measure agreed System access arranged
3

Build with your team watching

Weeks 2-5

We build inside your live tools and show you working pieces every week. You see progress as it happens rather than waiting for one reveal at the end, and we tighten the logic as real cases come through.

Working build connected to live systems Weekly progress reviews in Australian hours Edge cases handled and human review steps added
4

Handover and training

Weeks 5-6

We train your team to run it, change it and extend it. You receive the logic, the prompts, the integration details and the documentation.

Is This Right For You?

Great Fit If...

  • You run a B2B business in Australia or New Zealand and want the work done, not studied
  • You have a process that costs your team real hours every week
  • You can give us access to the tools and data the build needs
  • You want to own what we build and have your team run it after handover
  • You can name the outcome you want, even roughly

Not Right If...

  • You want a strategy document to take to the board with no plan to build anything
  • You want the cheapest hourly rate on the market rather than a scoped build
  • You are looking to replace a team rather than take the admin off it
  • You want a proof of concept with no route to production behind it

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an AI consultant in Australia actually do?
A good one finds where AI will genuinely help your business, designs the plan, then helps you build it. The weak ones stop at the plan. At Njin the work covers the scope, the build, the integrations, the testing on real cases and the training so your team can run it. Our guide on what an AI consultant does breaks the week down job by job if you want the longer version.
How much does an AI consultant cost in Australia?
It depends on scope. A single AI agent, like instant reply or lead qualification, starts around $900 to $2,300 to set up, with monthly plans from $270. Full playbook builds and multi-agent systems run from $4,000 to $8,000+ setup, with monthly support from $750 upward. Prices are in Australian dollars. We will give you an exact quote after a quick chat about your goals.
How do I choose between the AI consulting companies in Australia?
Ask three questions and the field thins out fast. Who writes the code, you or a partner offshore. What do I own at the end, the system or a licence. What happens if the outcome does not move. A firm that builds will answer all three in a sentence. A firm that resells will talk about their methodology instead. Our guide on how to choose an AI consultant lists the rest of the questions worth asking.
Do you only work with businesses in Sydney?
No. We are based in Sydney and we work with B2B businesses across Australia and New Zealand, plus clients in the UK, the US and Canada. Delivery is remote, with reviews scheduled inside Australian business hours for Australian clients. Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide are all normal for us.
What is the difference between an AI consultancy and an AI agency?
A consultancy tells you what to build and why. An agency builds it. Njin does both, which is why our scopes arrive with a delivery plan attached instead of a recommendation. If you are still working out where AI fits, start with our AI consulting services. If you already know what is eating the hours, this page is the right one.
Do you work with small businesses?
Yes, as long as there is a real process behind the request. The smallest useful jobs are single agents, like answering every new enquiry in minutes or qualifying leads against your own rules. Those start at the lower end of the pricing above and go live in one to two weeks. What does not work well is a business that has not written down how the process runs yet.
Where does our data go?
Ask that question of every consultant you speak to, and be careful of a vague answer. You want to know which models touch your data, which of them train on it and where the records sit. We agree all three with you in the scope before any build starts, and we will design around a constraint if you have one.
How long does an AI consulting engagement take?
A single automation usually goes live within one to two weeks. Larger jobs that touch several systems generally run four to six weeks from scope to handover. The slow part is almost never the AI. It is getting access to your systems and agreeing what should happen when a case does not fit the rules.

One call. A straight answer.

Tell us what the work is and we will tell you whether AI helps, what it would take and roughly what it costs. If the answer is no, you will get that on the first call rather than after a paid discovery.
