Rapid AI prototypes

Rapid AI prototypes you can click within days.

We turn an idea into a prototype your team can use within days, built around your own process and data, so you can see what AI changes before you commit to building it properly.

At least 3x improvement on the process we take on, with our fee tied to it.

Today and rebuilt

The problem

Designers brainstorming on paper wireframes for a website and app
Today

AI projects often stall between the idea and the business case. Slides cannot show how a new way of working feels, and a long build is a big commitment before anyone has tried it.

A working prototype answers the important questions early. Does it help the people doing the work, does it fit the process, and what would it take to run it for real.

A prototype your team can click within days, built on your own process, before you decide to build it.

The work, rebuilt

What we build

  • 01

    A prototype you can click

    A working prototype within days, so your team can try the new way of working.

  • 02

    Built on your process

    Shaped around one real process and, where it is safe to, your own sample data.

  • 03

    A written specification

    What the prototype proved, written up as a specification ready for the build.

  • 04

    A clear decision

    What it would take to build properly, and what to leave alone.

Four steps

How it works

Start a conversation →
  1. Step 1

    Pick one process

    We agree one piece of work with you and what better looks like.

  2. Step 2

    Specify

    A short written specification of what the prototype must show.

  3. Step 3

    Prototype

    A clickable prototype your team can use within days.

  4. Step 4

    Decide

    Build it properly through the software factory, or stop with a clear answer.

3×
At least 3x

What 3x is measured against

For prototypes, 3x is measured on the process the prototype targets, such as the time a task takes with and without it, so the business case rests on evidence rather than estimates.

At least 3x improvement on the process we take on, with our fee tied to it.

Safe by design

Controls and governance

  • A person in charge

    Every system we build keeps a person in charge of the outcome, and every action is logged.

  • Data protected first

    Data is classified and protected before any model sees it, and access follows each user.

  • Your cloud, in country

    Built on Microsoft Azure. Deploy in Sendient’s tenant or your own Azure, AWS or Google Cloud, with data kept in-country.

  • Never trained on your data

    We never train models on your data. What you share stays yours.

Sendient holds Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001, ISO 9001 and Investors in People. See our certifications

Ask a question

How quickly can we see a prototype?

Within days for most single-process ideas, once we have agreed the process and what better looks like.

Do we need to share our data?

Only what is safe to use. We can work with sample or anonymised data, and data is classified and protected before any model sees it.

What happens after the prototype?

You get a written specification and a clear recommendation. If it proves its worth, we build it properly through the software factory, in your environment.

How is the fee tied to the result?

Before work starts we agree the measure and the baseline with you. Our proposition is at least 3x improvement on the process we take on, with our fee tied to it.
