AI consulting and guidance

AI advice from a consultant who thinks it through with you

Your team is trying AI tools, you have built an app yourself or you see opportunities in the way you work. We help you decide what makes sense, review what you have built, identify what needs attention and work out your next steps. We guide SMEs, non-profits and research organisations in choosing technology that fits the way they work.

What does our AI advice cover?

AI stands for artificial intelligence. Our guidance helps your organisation use it with purpose: through advice, a review of your AI-built app or a practical plan for your team. Zenjoy and Ethic combine product development with knowledge of responsible data use.

Our experience using AI tools in practice

Since the first day of ChatGPT, November 2022, we have worked with AI every day at Zenjoy. Not as an experiment on the side, but in the work itself: research, design, code, review and documentation. What we learned along the way, we pass on.

Since 2022 AI used daily across the whole team, from the first day of ChatGPT.

Our own AI policy Since 2025: which tools, which data, who decides.

Where are you stuck today?

“Everyone is trying out AI. But what do we agree on together?”

You want to give your team room, with clear agreements on data, oversight and responsibility.

“We have an idea, but we don’t know if it’s feasible.”

You can only choose an AI solution once you know what you want to solve. Sometimes a conversation is enough to help you move forward with a clear direction.

“Our self-built app works. Can we actually put it to use?”

With Lovable or another AI building tool you can get far. Before you rely on it, you want to know how the code, access and the location of your data stand.

“Where can AI really move our work forward right now?”

There are many possibilities and little time. You are looking for priorities that fit your staff, processes and available data.

You don’t need to find the right application first. You do need to get clear on which question you want to solve.

AI advice: a question, an app, a plan or training for your team

Choose the guidance that fits where you are. Each service stands on its own.

AI Pitstop

One concrete question. One hour for your AI question. You leave with concrete action points.

  • Test an idea, weigh up software options or discuss an obstacle. You can also ask how to use AI in existing workflows, for example to process information from your CRM or improve your services.
  • Online or on site, with a brief written summary. For example: does ChatGPT, Claude or Microsoft Copilot fit your team’s work, and what data can you share with it?
Discuss your question
AI Reality Check

Already built something with AI? A sober look at your AI-built app. A clear report with risks, priorities and improvements.

  • We look at the code and technical setup, for example of a Lovable app.
  • What we examine, which access is needed and the timing are agreed up front.
Discuss your question
AI Roadmap

A plan for your team. One working day with your team, then an advisory note with a concrete step-by-step plan.

  • With preparation and an online debrief.
  • We examine how your organisation works, weigh up the options and decide which steps come first.
Discuss your question
AI workshops

Your whole team on board. An AI workshop built on your own work, so everyone learns to use AI safely.

  • Half a day, a training day, a programme or a talk.
  • Together with Ethic.studio, practising on tasks that come back every week.
How we run AI workshops

Hands-on experience as an AI consultant

Three places where we learned what AI delivers, what it costs and where you are better off without it.

Three years of daily AI in our own team.

Ways of working tried and adjusted, an AI policy with firm rules on data, and retrospectives where we established where AI saves time and where it does not.

AI consultancy: strategy and implementation

Zenjoy brings experience in designing and building digital products. Ethic.studio brings expertise in responsible AI and data governance. Together, we audit how you work: your team’s specific needs, the choices that fit them and what adoption will take. This gives your AI strategy a place in your wider plans for digitalisation.

You can act on the recommendations yourself or bring in another partner. If you want help with implementation — building, improving or integrating a solution — we agree on that next step separately.

Prepare

We agree on the question, the scope and the access we need. That way we work with focus afterwards.

Examine

For AI Reality Check, we examine your app’s code and technical setup. For AI Roadmap, we spend one day with your team: processes and needs in the morning, possible solutions, data flows and AI opportunities in the afternoon.

Write up the advice

You receive a clear report or an advisory note: findings, priorities and concrete next steps.

Debrief together

We discuss the result online and decide what you need to move forward with it.

Frequently asked questions for an AI consultant

AI Pitstop is one hour to discuss a concrete question: is our idea feasible, which approach fits the way we work, or how do we tackle an obstacle? Online or on site, with a brief summary and concrete action points. AI Reality Check is for people who have already built an app with AI and want it reviewed. With AI Roadmap, we work with your team to identify where AI makes sense and which steps come first.

You do not have to choose beforehand. Tell us what you are facing; in an initial conversation, we work out which guidance fits.

The price depends on the type of guidance and on the scope of your question: how much preparation is needed, how large the app or the organisation is and how deep the review goes.

An AI Pitstop takes one hour. AI Reality Check is a review of an existing app. AI Roadmap covers a working day with your team and an advisory note. Every track starts with an exploratory conversation. After that you receive a tailored proposal with a fixed scope, so you know up front what we do and what you get. Building or implementing a solution is only estimated once the direction is clear.

Our consultants examine your business processes and the question you want to resolve. We look at how you work today, where time is lost and what data you have. We then weigh up which AI applications fit, what they offer and what they require from your team. Artificial intelligence is a means of improving the work. We also review apps you have built yourself and turn our findings into a practical plan.

Our consultancy gives you informed choices without tying you to a supplier or delivery partner. You can take the advice forward yourself, with your own developer or with another partner. If you want help building, improving or connecting a solution, we agree on that next step separately.

The fact that an app works says nothing about its security. You also want to know who can view or change data and what happens when something goes wrong. Lovable has built-in security checks; a human review judges those findings in the context of your own application. That is what we do with AI Reality Check, including for apps built with another AI building tool.

Up front we agree what we examine, which access is needed and when you receive the report. Within that scope we look at security and access rights, data processing, reliability and maintainability. Can a user only see the data intended for that user? Can a developer understand and adapt the app later on?

The report describes what we checked, what needs attention first and which improvements we recommend. It is not a security certificate: you get an assessment within the agreed scope, of the version we reviewed.

We start with the work you want to improve. Sometimes AI helps; sometimes existing software, a connection between systems or a clearer way of working is enough.

We weigh up the expected value, the available data and what the solution requires from your team. A chatbot that looks up information, generating content with generative AI and an AI agent that takes actions each need different checks. The same applies to predictive analysis of business data: without reliable data, the output has little value. If you already have a concrete process you want to automate, guidance on AI workflows is a suitable next step.

This service includes preparation, one working day with your team, a strategic advisory report and an online follow-up. You receive a phased plan with findings and priorities for your organisation. We weigh the benefits of AI against the costs of introduction, checks and maintenance. That makes the expected return, or ROI, something you can discuss: how much time will you save, which mistakes will you avoid and how will you measure it?

In the morning, we examine your business processes and needs with the team. In the afternoon, a smaller group explores possible solutions, data flows and AI opportunities. The day focuses on your own work and decisions; it is not a general training course. Implementation is a possible next step, agreed separately.

We examine what data a solution needs, where it goes, who can access it and who checks the results. That includes agreeing on what information employees may or may not share with generative AI.

Ethic.studio brings expertise in responsible AI and governance: agreements on data use, transparency and responsibilities. We consider GDPR and AI Act questions in the context of your application. Where further assessment is needed, we make that clear.

Yes. We start from your work processes, your staff and the people you work for. In healthcare, wellbeing and the non-profit sector, the sensitivity of data and the consequences of errors deserve extra attention.

Zenjoy brings cases from practice such as S.Tool for KU Leuven and UZ Leuven and the FoodWIN platform. Together with Ethic.studio we look at where AI can meaningfully support your context and which agreements and controls are needed.

In AI consulting, we work with you to identify what you want to improve, which approach is feasible and what needs to happen first. You receive advice to help you make decisions. Implementation is the next step: building or configuring a solution, connecting it to your systems and testing it with users. We agree on that work separately. You can also use your own developer or another partner.
