AI consulting for SMEs: where to start, without the hype.
Everyone tells you that you need to use AI. Few tell you where, with what, and how much it will really save you. Our consulting answers those three questions, and the person who does it is the same one who then builds it.
Talk about your caseIn short
AI consulting for SMEs helps a small or mid-sized company decide where to apply artificial intelligence, with which tools and with which legal precautions, based on its real processes. BL Diseno, an AI consultant in Barcelona, runs it as a short assessment that ends in a prioritised plan and a concrete first project, which the same studio can build and maintain.
The questions we answer
Where does AI pay off for us?
We review your processes with your team and rank the opportunities by real savings, risk and effort.
Which tools should we use?
ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, n8n or custom development: whatever fits your size, your data and your maintenance budget.
What does the law say?
The EU AI Act, the GDPR and training obligations: what applies to you, without alarmism.
How will the team use it?
Clear internal rules on what can and can’t go into an AI tool, and hands-on training on your own cases.
Consulting that ends in something that works
Many consultancies hand over a document and disappear. Ours ends in a plan with a tightly scoped first project, with scope, timeline and price fixed in writing. If you decide to build it with us, the person who designed the plan is the one who puts it into production.
And if the conclusion is that AI doesn’t pay off for you right now, we’ll tell you. That’s a valid answer.
How we work with you
- 1
We listen
A first conversation, with no commitment, to understand the problem the way your team actually lives it. The fix is often simpler than it looks, and if so, we’ll tell you.
- 2
We propose
Fixed scope, timeline and price, in writing, before we start. We look for what makes sense for both sides: no open-ended hours and no surprises on the invoice.
- 3
We build
Short delivery cycles: you see real progress every week and test it on your own cases, not on a staged demo.
- 4
We stay
Maintenance, adjustments and direct support from the same person who built it. Everything is documented and in your name.
Frequently asked questions
What does an AI consultant do?
They analyse the company’s processes, identify where artificial intelligence saves time or reduces errors, recommend tools and precautions, and propose an implementation plan. At BL Diseno we also build and maintain what we recommend.
Does a small business need AI consulting?
Not always. Sometimes good practices with the tools you already have are enough. A first conversation, with no commitment, shows whether it’s worth going further.
How is this different from an AI audit?
Same logic, different depth: the AI audit is the structured, documented assessment; consulting also includes support with decisions, training and the implementation plan.
Do I have to train my team in AI?
The EU AI Act asks organisations that use AI systems to ensure their staff have a sufficient level of AI literacy. We explain this in our guide and include it in the consulting where relevant.
