ODENSE Open the calendar

Bring something from your own work.

You don't need a requirements document, and you don't need to know what should be built.

Tell us what you'd like to be able to do better. We'll work out what AI can do about it, and what's worth building.

Open the calendar15 minutes. No preparation needed.
PROJECT

Then we make it concrete.

A new piece of AI work gets scoped as a Project.

You'll be told what has to be different afterward, what we're building, when it goes into operation, and what it costs.

Before you say yes
An agreed outcome
What should you be able to do afterward?
A timeline
When does it need to be running?
A fixed price
What does the agreed work cost?

We build alongside the people who know the work, put it into operation, and stay on through an agreed stabilization period.

No subscription follows automatically.

After the stabilization period, you can add a Care agreement if you want us to maintain the solution, help when something breaks, and work to agreed response times.

The next one starts from a better place

Once we've worked together, we don't have to get to know the same company all over again.

We know more of your systems. We've seen the work up close. We know which exceptions matter, what your people actually use, and what gave trouble along the way.

When the next opportunity comes, we can start there.

That doesn't necessarily mean Project 2 is smaller than Project 1.

It means more of the work can be about the new thing, instead of starting over.

DEPARTMENT

You can also keep us involved.

Once AI has become part of the work, new questions keep coming up.

Can what's already there get better? Are people actually using it? Has something new landed in Claude or ChatGPT that we should react to? Which process is the next one worth taking on?

Some companies want to keep track of that themselves.

Others want us to do it with them.

With Department we work continuously to

  • see where what's already there can get better
  • get more of your people properly on board
  • try out new options as the technology changes
  • keep track of ideas and opportunities across the company
  • sort what's interesting from what's actually worth doing
  • get the next larger effort ready, when it's worth building

You shouldn't have to follow everything happening in AI and translate it to your own company.

That's part of the work.

When something gets big enough for its own outcome, scope, and timeline, it becomes a new Project.

What's on your mind?

It doesn't have to be a finished idea.

Bring a task, an irritation, a process, or just something you think your AI ought to be able to do.
