ABOUT IA?

Intelligence Assist was born from Janey’s personal experience. Janey’s parents were small business owners who were eager to adopt new technologies but often struggled to find the right guidance.

It requires a more integrative approach, which can be complex for small businesses to navigate on their own.

We’re not just AI specialists or prompt engineers. We’re passionate process enthusiasts. Our approach is simple: we talk, understand, identify, and optimise. We engage in meaningful conversations with business operators, understand their models, identify areas for efficiency, and optimise processes through adaptive AI solutions.
