AI consulting and automation implementation

First, we understand how your business runs. Then we integrate AI where it actually helps.

It starts with an audit. We sit with you and the people doing the work, learn how your business actually runs, and find where AI genuinely helps. Then we build a plan and do what the business needs: integrate and implement the AI ourselves, or consult and teach you exactly what to do.

The problem

Every AI vendor arrives already selling something.

A bot. A platform. An "agent." The pitch starts with the tool and works backwards to your business. That's why so many AI projects quietly die within months: the diagnosis never happened.

"My team drowns in work software should handle."

Hours every week on data entry, status chasing, reporting, and copy-pasting between systems, while the work that grows the business waits.

"We tried AI tools. Nobody uses them."

Licenses were bought, a pilot ran, enthusiasm faded. The tool didn't fit how the work actually flows, so people went back to the old way.

"I can't tell which of these hundred tools applies to us."

Everyone says AI will change everything. No one can point to the specific place in your operation where it earns its keep.

The market isn't short on AI tools. It's short on people who understand your business first. That's the entire premise of our work.

A note on language

Things you will never hear us say.

If a phrase appears in every AI pitch you've ever received, it doesn't appear in ours. We describe your operation in your language, with numbers, and we put it in writing.

Our position

Diagnosis before prescription. Every time.

We're AI consultants and builders, not an AI shop looking for somewhere to install a product. We begin inside your business: how work moves, where decisions stall, what your people repeat every day, where customers wait. Only then do we decide where AI and automation belong in the picture.

Sometimes the honest answer is a better process, not new technology. When that's true, we say so. You've lost nothing but a conversation.

That sentence is rare in this market. It's also why our recommendations are worth acting on: they aren't attached to anything we're trying to sell you.

How we work

Three steps. The third one is optional.

01

Understand your business

Structured interviews with you and the people doing the work. We map your workflows, communication, decision-making, and customer journey, and we find where the hours actually go. No technology talk yet.

02

Build the plan

We rank every improvement by the hours and cost it can give back, and give each one a straight verdict: AI genuinely helps here, a simpler fix wins here, or leave this alone. You get the plan in writing, with reasoning you can challenge.

03

Implement, or consult

Where automation earns its place, we design and build it ourselves and measure it against the baseline from step one. Where you'd rather own it, we consult and teach you exactly what to do. If nothing clears the bar, the engagement ends with the diagnosis. As it should.

What you receive

A written diagnosis you can act on. With or without us.

Delivered within two weeks of starting. Not a slide deck of possibilities: a specific, prioritized document about your operation.

Operational workflow map

How work actually moves through your business today, including the handoffs and repeat work nobody had written down.

Prioritized opportunity list

Every improvement we found, ranked by the hours and cost it gives back against the effort to fix it, so you know what to do first and what to ignore.

An honest AI verdict, per opportunity

Where AI genuinely helps, where a process change beats it, and where the right answer is to change nothing. With reasoning, not hype.

Implementation roadmap

For the opportunities worth pursuing: what to build, in what order, what it depends on, and how success will be measured against today's baseline.

Who you'll work with

Founder-led. Every engagement, personally.

Yaffe AI is a founder-led practice, built on the Yaffe family name. A name on the door means the diagnosis carries a personal signature. When you engage us, the person who studies your operation, writes your diagnosis, and builds your solution is the same person you spoke to on the first call. No account managers, no juniors, no handoffs.

Saar Yaffe builds businesses with AI. Behind that is years of hands-on experience across the whole stack: LLMs, generative image and video models, automation pipelines, GPUs, and AWS infrastructure — all in production, not in theory.

The practice takes a small number of engagements at a time, because the diagnostic work doesn't compress. That constraint is a feature: it's what makes the honest no possible.

Questions

Asked before every engagement.

What if AI turns out to be the wrong answer for us?

Then we tell you, in writing, with the reasoning. You still walk away with the operational diagnosis: a map of your workflows and a ranked list of improvements, most of which don't need AI at all. Several of our best recommendations are process changes that cost nothing to implement.

We already bought AI tools and nobody uses them. Why would this be different?

Because adoption fails when the tool comes before the diagnosis. A tool that ignores how your team actually works will always lose to the old way of doing things. We start from the workflow, involve the people who do the work, and only introduce technology where it removes friction they already feel. That order of operations is the whole difference.

How is this different from an AI agency?

An agency arrives with a product and looks for a place to install it. Their revenue depends on you buying that product. We arrive with questions. Our first deliverable is a diagnosis, and it's entirely possible its conclusion is "don't buy anything." No agency can offer you that, because it would put them out of business.

Do we need to be "AI-ready" with clean data and modern systems before talking to you?

No. We assess your business as it is, spreadsheets and legacy systems included. Part of the diagnosis is determining what's realistic with what you have today, and what would only make sense after foundational fixes. You don't prepare for a diagnosis; that's what the diagnosis is for.

What happens to our data and internal information?

Everything we learn is covered by a mutual NDA before the engagement begins. During diagnosis, we work by observing and interviewing; your data stays in your systems, under your control. If we later build something that touches your data, the architecture and access are documented and agreed with you before anything is connected.

How long before we see something concrete?

The written diagnosis is delivered within two weeks of starting. If implementation follows, we scope it in small measurable stages. The first working result is typically weeks away, not quarters, because we deliberately start with the highest-impact, lowest-complexity opportunity on the list.

Who actually does the work?

The founder. Every interview, every page of the diagnosis, every line of the implementation. That's why the practice takes a limited number of engagements at a time.

Start here

Tell us where it hurts.

One short note about your business and its biggest operational bottleneck. We'll reply personally within one business day with an honest read on whether a conversation is worth your time.

What happens next: if it looks like a fit, we schedule a 30-minute diagnostic call. The goal of that call is to diagnose, not to pitch. You'll leave it knowing more about your own operation either way.

If it's not a fit, we'll say so plainly and, where we can, point you toward whoever is.

Please add your name.

That email doesn't look right.

Please add your company.

One sentence is enough. It helps us prepare an honest answer.

A person reads this and replies within one business day.

Received. Thank you.

We'll reply personally within one business day. In the meantime, if anything else about your operation comes to mind, the annoying, repetitive, "there must be a better way" work, jot it down. It's usually where the diagnosis starts.
