Question 1

What is a fractional AI department?

Accepted Answer

A fractional AI department is an outsourced AI team that works as part of your organization on a retainer basis. We help you set up, deploy, and manage AI systems under your own account, providing the expertise of a full AI department at a fraction of the cost.

Question 2

Do I need to learn a new platform?

Accepted Answer

No. We integrate AI directly into your existing platforms like Salesforce, SAP, HubSpot, or whatever tools you already use. You continue working in familiar systems while AI operates behind the scenes.

Question 3

Who owns the AI systems you build?

Accepted Answer

You do. We set up Abacus AI under YOUR account, which you own and control. There are no platform markups or vendor lock-in. You pay Abacus AI directly at their low subscription rates, plus our $20/month retainer for management.

Question 4

What is Abacus AI?

Accepted Answer

Abacus AI is an enterprise-grade AI platform that powers the systems we build for you. It handles the complex AI infrastructure while we focus on integrating it with your business processes. You own your Abacus AI account directly.

Question 5

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Our retainer starts at $20/month for ongoing management and support. You also pay for your Abacus AI subscription directly to them (no markup from us). The Abacus AI cost varies based on usage, but typically ranges from $100-500/month for small to mid-sized companies.

Question 6

What size companies do you work with?

Accepted Answer

We specialize in small to mid-sized companies with 10-500 employees. These organizations typically need enterprise-grade AI capabilities but don't have the budget or headcount for a full-time AI department.

Question 7

Can I eventually manage the AI systems myself?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We offer optional training for full ownership transfer. Many clients start with our managed service and transition to self-management once their team is trained. You own the systems from day one, so there's no lock-in.

Question 8

How long does implementation take?

Accepted Answer

Most implementations are deployed within 2-4 weeks. We focus on deploying working systems quickly, then iterate based on real-world feedback. You see measurable ROI from day one, not after months of consulting.
