Getting started

What HIA does, who HIA serves, and how experienced professionals can begin using AI more effectively.

What does Hybrid Intelligence Advisors do?

HIA helps organizations decide where AI belongs and put selected uses into practice. Services include AI advisory, team training, implementation support, and custom tools and agents. Hybrid Intelligence Academy also offers live public seminars for individual professionals.

Who is HIA for?

HIA works with organizations that want AI to improve the work their teams already own. Typical clients include small and midsized businesses, nonprofits, public agencies, and professional services firms.

Individual professionals also attend HIA seminars to improve writing, prompting, analysis, research, and strategic work.

Is HIA training suitable for someone new to AI?

Yes. HIA explains the relevant technology in plain English, then moves quickly into professional work. New users can follow the material, and experienced users gain a more reliable method for directing, reviewing, and revising AI output.

Will AI make my work sound generic?

Generic output usually comes from vague direction, missing context, and automatic acceptance of the first draft. HIA teaches people to define the point, reader, source material, and standard before drafting, then diagnose weak output before revising it.

Advisory and implementation

Platform choices, practical use mapping, governance, implementation, and evidence that the work is improving.

What are HIA's AI advisory services?

HIA helps leaders understand their choices, set priorities, and create enough structure for people to move with confidence.

  • Current-state assessment
  • Platform selection and migration planning
  • Practical use mapping
  • AI governance and employee guidance
  • Implementation and adoption planning

Depending on scope, the client may receive an assessment memo, platform recommendation, practical use map, policy requirements summary, and implementation plan.

Can HIA help us choose an AI platform?

Yes. HIA compares platforms against the organization's work, existing systems, information sensitivity, access needs, administrative controls, user experience, connected tools, and total cost.

The recommendation explains which environment best fits the priority workflows and what setup, migration, or governance work will be required.

Can HIA create an AI policy for our organization?

Yes. HIA creates practical AI policies and employee guidance based on the organization's work, risk profile, approved tools, and review standards.

The policy can cover confidentiality, sensitive information, connected tools and agents, acceptable uses, human review, manager expectations, and escalation paths.

What does AI implementation include?

AI implementation can include platform setup, access and guardrails, workflow design, pilot testing, employee training, and rollout support.

HIA turns priority use cases into repeatable ways of working, then creates the prompts, guides, and support materials employees need to use them consistently.

How do you measure whether AI adoption is working?

Measurement starts with the result the organization expected from a specific use case. For a proposal workflow, that might be time to first draft, revision rounds, or claims caught before submission. For a staff rollout, it might be repeat use, completion of a defined task, employee questions, or work returned for rework.

HIA agrees on the measures during planning and reviews them after people have used the workflow in practice.

Custom tools and agents

Purpose-built support for recurring work that needs more context, control, or consistency than an off-the-shelf assistant provides.

Does HIA build custom AI tools and agents?

Yes. HIA builds custom GPTs, Gemini Gems, Claude Projects, shared AI workspaces, agents, Apps Script tools, and structured workflows. The platform and format are chosen based on the work, source material, user access, and level of control required.

Examples include proposal assistants that use approved source material, manager guides that apply company policy, document review tools that check claims and risks, and executive briefing tools that preserve context across meetings.

What kinds of work can a custom build support?

HIA commonly builds support for:

  • Business development, sales, and proposals
  • Marketing and communications
  • People, HR, and management
  • Executive and operating support
  • Review, risk, and quality control
  • Research, intelligence, and decision support
Can HIA improve a tool, prompt, or workflow we already built?

Yes. HIA reviews the tool's scope, instructions, source handling, testing, user guidance, and output quality.

We trace where the tool drifts, what people misunderstand, and which steps create extra work, then repair, simplify, or rebuild it based on the findings.

How do we know whether we need a custom build?

A build usually makes sense when people repeatedly recreate the same context, search the same sources, apply the same review standards, or repair the same failure. HIA can assess the workflow first. The better answer may be advisory, platform configuration, implementation, training, repair of an existing tool, or no build.

Training and seminars

Live, instructor-led learning for teams, leaders, employee cohorts, and individual professionals.

What kinds of AI training does HIA offer?

HIA designs live training for teams, departments, leadership groups, and employee cohorts. Programs can use HIA's core courses or be built around a role, workflow, policy, platform, or business need.

For individual professionals, the public seminar series includes AI Essentials, Prompting I, Prompting II, Quality Writing, Strategic Thinking, and ChatGPT Power User.

Can I register for a seminar on my own?

Yes. HIA public seminars are live, instructor-led, and open to individual professionals. Current dates and prices are listed on the seminar page.

Which seminar should I take first?

Start with AI Essentials when you want a clear foundation in how generative AI works, where it fails, and how to review its output.

Choose the next course based on the work you need to improve: prompting, professional writing, work with reports and files, strategic thinking, or advanced ChatGPT setup and use.

Can HIA train our staff?

Yes. HIA delivers live virtual and on-site training for teams, departments, leaders, and employee cohorts. A program can include a focused workshop, a sequence of core courses, custom sessions built around company work, and follow-up application sessions.

Before delivery, we agree on what participants should be able to do differently and build the examples and practice around that standard.

Delivery and pricing

Engagement formats, starting prices, virtual and on-site delivery, and private workshops.

What formats does HIA offer?

Organizations can choose private workshops, tailored team training, multi-session programs, advisory work, implementation support, ongoing office hours, or custom tools and agents. Individual professionals can attend live public seminars.

Follow-up sessions give teams time to apply the method, bring back real work, and solve problems that become visible during use.

How much does it cost to work with HIA?

Organizational engagements start at $12,500. At that level, a focused advisory engagement can include discovery interviews, review of current tools and selected documents, an assessment of priority workflows and policy needs, and written recommendations.

Team training packages may also begin at this level, with scope based on the number of sessions, customization, participants, and follow-up support. Custom tools and agents start at $5,000. Public seminars for individual professionals currently range from $125 to $225.

Are sessions virtual or in person?

Private training and workshops may be virtual or on site, depending on location and scope. Virtual delivery works well for instruction and distributed teams. On-site delivery is often useful for workflow design, leadership discussion, team practice, and shared decisions.

Public seminars are live online.

Do you offer private workshops?

Yes. A private workshop can stand alone or fit within a larger training and implementation plan.

We agree on what participants should be able to do differently, then set the content, length, examples, practice, and follow-up around that outcome.
