AI is everywhere, but many businesses aren’t sure where to begin.
At Slingshot, we believe real teams, real problems, and real results should drive artificial intelligence. That’s why our services are designed to meet you exactly where you are. You can start with one tier or grow into others. The point is progress that fits your pace.
This offering is AI with a human pulse. And it starts with a conversation.
Summary
Slingshot’s AI Services are designed to meet your business exactly where it is; whether you’re curious about AI, exploring high-potential ideas, or ready to deploy working solutions. Start with a free Discovery Discussion or jump straight into prototyping or implementation. Each service stands alone but connects to a bigger path when you need it. It’s AI with clarity, momentum, and business value.
AI Discovery Discussion
60 minutes. No cost, all focus.
This is the entry point for teams who are exploring AI but aren’t sure how it applies to their business yet.
In a one-on-one session with our AI experts, we’ll review your team, tools, and goals to surface real-world use cases and next steps.
“We want this to feel like a shortcut to clarity,” says Chris, Slingshot’s CIO. “It’s not a sales pitch. It’s a chance to hear what you’re working with and find where AI might make a difference.”
Whether you’re simply curious or cautiously exploring, this session is designed to move you from uncertainty to opportunity.
AI Opportunity Assessment
1 week. Prioritized action plan.
If you’re already considering AI use cases but struggling to understand how to put them into action, this is the next logical step.
Over a week, Slingshot works closely with your team to map out a ready-to-execute implementation plan, including technical feasibility, achievable outcomes, and execution plans.
“We know there are a lot of organizations that have great ideas but are unsure how to implement them, ” says CEO David Galownia. “We take these ideas and turn them into a firm plan of action and also solidify their feasibility and achievable outcomes.”
The opportunity assessment ends with a recommendation for action, a plan to execute, and an estimated cost to implement.

AI Rapid Prototyping
2 weeks. Built in real code.
Rapid Prototyping is for teams that have a concrete idea for a software product and need to move fast.
In under 2 weeks, Slingshot builds a working prototype in actual code that reflects your vision. It’s designed to accelerate decision-making, align stakeholders, and shorten the time to implementation.
“We take an idea and have a visual of it, real-fast,” says Sarah, Principal Product Lead at Slingshot. “Clients can see the core user experience, test assumptions, and either go forward or pivot with confidence.”
Every prototype includes user flows, data architecture, and recommendations for execution. It’s a fast track to insight and action.
Full AI Implementation
Production-ready AI. Integrated to your business and producing results.
For organizations ready to move from planning to deployment, this is where ideas become working solutions. We help design, build, and deploy AI solutions while enabling your team for long-term success.
Whether you’re building something new or optimizing what you already use, Slingshot helps you bring AI into your business where it matters most.
“Implementation is where AI gets real,” says Doug, a Principal Developer at Slingshot. “This could mean building a new product, recommending and setting up a suite of tools, or implementing AI within existing workflows.”
This is where strategy meets execution and where AI becomes a real part of your business.
AI Isn’t the Journey. Your Business Is.
Your business may need a complete journey or just one step. That’s why each Slingshot AI service works on its own and scales with your readiness. Some clients start with a conversation. Others begin with Rapid Prototyping or Full Implementation.
You decide where to begin. We make sure it leads somewhere meaningful.
Because the best AI journeys don’t start with hype, they begin with a problem worth solving.
