What We Do
From Foundations to Ongoing Support
Each phase has a fixed fee and a clear scope, and we build on Claude, ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot, whichever fits your setup.
Implementation Sprints
Sprints of 3 to 6 weeks take one area at a time, fixing the process first and giving every workflow an owner on your side.
Ongoing Support
We stay for 2 to 3 months after go-live to tune each workflow, then managed AI keeps them current if you want it.
The Humans Behind Your AI: the same people from the first meeting
We're the people who put AI to work in your business, and you deal with the same people from the first meeting onward.
We Know Your Business: because we work inside it
By the end of the work we understand your business because we've been inside it, mapping the processes and working with your people.
People and Process First: technology last
We start with how the work gets done and who does it, then the knowledge and data behind it. Technology comes last, once the work and the people are understood.
We Stay With You: after go-live, not just before it
Plenty of providers build something and leave you to it. We stay on after go-live to tune each workflow as your team uses it, and keep it current as the work changes.
Our Own AI Operating System: we run on what we build
ELab runs its own sales, delivery, finance and reporting on an AI operating system of skills, workflows and company context. It's the same setup we build for clients.
