AI CONSULTING IN CANBERRA

Independent AI consultants, based in Canberra.

We help businesses, government agencies and Defence industry suppliers understand where AI can help and how to use it securely. From initial advice to practical trials and implementation, we work with your people, systems and priorities. We're a veteran-owned Australian business. You work directly with our two founders, who bring hands-on technical experience and independent advice.

WHY ZYLO AI

Local experience. Practical advice.

Introducing AI takes more than choosing a tool. It means understanding your information, working within your security requirements and giving your people the skills to use it well.

Our founders bring more than 30 years of combined experience across government, Defence and private industry. Their backgrounds span technical engineering, cyber security, project delivery and governance.

That experience helps us turn your requirements into a practical plan. We consider how a solution will be approved, introduced, operated and supported, so you can make an informed decision about what to do next.

We're based in Canberra and work onsite across the ACT. We also support organisations across Australia online.

Choose support that matches your current needs. Each engagement has an agreed scope and clear deliverables. We can also help implement the recommendations.

AI Readiness Assessment

TWO TO THREE WEEKS · FIXED SCOPE

Understand where AI could help and what needs to be in place first. We review your workflows, data, systems and team capability.

You receive a written assessment and a prioritised roadmap, including indicative effort and investment. A typical assessment takes two to three weeks, depending on scope.

02

AI Strategy & Roadmap

DIRECTION AND PRIORITIES

Set a clear direction for AI adoption. We develop a plan that connects opportunities with your objectives, budget and internal capability.

The roadmap identifies priorities, dependencies and investment decisions. It also considers whether to build a solution, buy an existing product or work with a delivery partner.

Your team receives documentation that supports day-to-day operation, management decisions and review.

You receive a written comparison and recommendation to support your procurement process.

05

Pilot Design & Delivery

ONE WORKFLOW · MEASURED

Success criteria are agreed upfront. We measure the results and recommend whether to expand, refine or stop.

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions.

How much does AI consulting cost?
Pricing depends on the scope and complexity of the work. After an initial briefing, we provide a written proposal with the scope, deliverables and fixed price agreed before work begins. A readiness assessment typically takes two to three weeks. We confirm the timeframe as part of the proposal.
Can you work within our approved environment?
We can design solutions around your existing hosting and access controls. We first confirm your technical requirements, access arrangements and any approvals needed. Options may include deployment on your own infrastructure or through suitable Australian-hosted services.
Can you help with government AI governance and assurance?
Yes. We help identify the requirements relevant to your proposed use of AI and translate them into practical policies, controls and documentation. We work with your governance and security teams to support their review and approval processes.
Do you recommend a particular AI platform?
We recommend technology based on your requirements, hosting needs and budget. We have no reseller arrangements, platform commissions or vendor incentives.
Do you only work with government?
No. We also work with businesses, professional firms and other organisations. We're based in Canberra and support clients across Australia.
How do we get started?
Book a briefing with one of our founders. We'll discuss what you want to achieve, your current systems and any constraints. From there, we'll recommend a practical next step. That could be a focused workshop, an assessment or support with a specific project.
