AI consultancy

AI consultancy in Barcelona

We help SMEs and sole traders in Barcelona work out where AI actually adds value, then implement it through a functional pilot, without overpromising or running experiments that go nowhere.

Most SMEs do not need to "do AI" in the abstract: they need to fix a specific bottleneck (reading invoices, triaging support tickets, searching internal documentation) and find out whether automating it is worth it. That is why we always start with a diagnostic, not a ready-made proposal.

In Barcelona we work mostly with data and processes in Catalan and Spanish, which shapes which models and tools make sense to use. Not every process is a good candidate for AI: often a classic automation (rules, integrations, scripts) is cheaper, more reliable and easier to maintain.

Part of our job is telling you when AI is NOT the answer, and what risks you take on if you implement it anyway: model errors, dependence on an external provider, per-use costs, and the need for human oversight.

How we run the AI consultancy

Opportunity diagnostic

We review your current processes to identify where AI can cut manual work, and where it will not pay off.

  • Review of document-heavy and repetitive processes
  • Estimate of data volume and variability
  • Prioritisation by impact and implementation cost

Common use cases

The applications we see delivering the best effort-to-result ratio for SMEs.

  • Reading and extracting data from invoices and delivery notes
  • Automatic classification of emails, tickets or documents
  • Internal assistants for querying manuals, procedures or FAQs
  • Extracting structured information from PDFs or forms

When we do NOT recommend AI

Situations where a simpler solution is the better call.

  • Processes with fixed rules and few exceptions: classic automation is usually better
  • Decisions with significant legal or financial impact and no human oversight
  • Very low volumes where the cost of upkeep is not justified

Governance and compliance

Before implementing anything, we review what it means from a regulatory standpoint.

  • Personal data processing and GDPR
  • EU AI Act requirements according to the system's risk level
  • Traceability of decisions and the possibility of human review

What's not included

To keep expectations realistic from day one.

  • No large-scale platform builds without a prior pilot to validate the case
  • No guarantee of specific error rates: every AI system needs human review
  • Ongoing model or infrastructure costs from the AI provider are separate from our fees

Functional pilot

A pilot delivered in 4 weeks around a specific use case, using your real company data, to validate the approach before scaling it.

Where we work

We work on-site in Barcelona and its metropolitan area, and remotely across the rest of Catalonia and Spain.

  • Barcelona and its metropolitan area

Frequently asked questions

How much does an AI project cost for my company?

It depends on the scope. The initial 2-hour diagnostic is free; from there, a functional pilot typically ranges from EUR4,000 to EUR12,000 depending on complexity and the volume of data involved.

Do I need my data already prepared?

Not necessarily, but the messier it is, the more time will be needed to prepare it before anything reliable can be built. We assess this during the diagnostic.

Can the AI get things wrong with my data?

Yes. Any AI system has a margin of error, so human oversight must be built in, especially for decisions with financial or legal impact.

How much control do I have over my data if you use AI?

We explain which model provider is used, where the data is processed, and what options exist depending on the use case, including models that can run on your own infrastructure.

How long does it take to get a pilot running?

A functional pilot is delivered within 4 weeks of starting development, once the scope has been agreed during the diagnostic.

Do you only work with clients in Barcelona?

We are based in Barcelona and work on-site there, but we also work remotely with SMEs across Catalonia and the rest of Spain.
