# Attentio

> Attentio helps businesses find where AI can save time, then builds practical workflow automation that fits the way teams already work. We start with operations, identify the highest-impact opportunity, and deliver a working solution fast — no long rollouts, no generic frameworks.

Attentio is an AI strategy and implementation consultancy. Our team started in AI research and now applies that work to real operational problems for small and mid-sized businesses. We are based in Minneapolis, MN and serve clients across the US.

## What we do

- **Operational discovery** — We map how your business runs and pinpoint where time and revenue are being lost.
- **AI workflow builds** — We ship one high-impact solution, prove it works inside your business, then build on it.
- **Adoption support** — We work alongside your team through the transition so the solution actually sticks.

## Who we work with

Businesses of any size or industry that have a real operational problem costing them time, money, or both. We are selective about engagements and will tell you upfront if we don't think we can move the needle.

## Frequently asked questions

- **What does an AI strategy consultant do?** We look at how your business runs, find where time and revenue are being lost, and identify the single highest-impact place to apply technology first. Then we build it.
- **How long does it take to see results?** Most clients see measurable impact within 30 days of the first build.
- **How is Attentio different from other AI consulting firms?** Most AI consulting starts with the tools and works backward to the business. We start with operations and ship a working solution, not a slide deck.
- **What is an AI readiness assessment?** A structured review of your data, workflows, governance, infrastructure, and team capacity that identifies where AI can deliver measurable value and where foundations need to be built first.
- **Why do most enterprise AI pilots fail?** MIT's NANDA initiative found 95% of enterprise generative AI pilots fail to produce measurable P&L impact. The reason is the "learning gap" between AI tools and the workflows they sit inside, not model quality.
- **Where is Attentio based?** Minneapolis, Minnesota. We serve clients across the United States.
