The AI Implementation Partner
That Actually Ships

An AI implementation partner is a specialist firm that takes responsibility for shipping AI into production - not just advising on strategy. A real partner owns the build, the integration with your existing systems, the change management and the post-launch optimisation. Alice Labs is an AI implementation partner: we sign up for outcomes, not slide decks.

Most AI consultancies stop at strategy or proof-of-concept. An implementation partner owns the entire delivery cycle: discovery, architecture, build, integration, deployment, governance and operate. Alice Labs combines senior strategists with senior engineers in one team - so the people who scope the work also deliver it.

Three reasons: (1) consultants hand off to in-house teams that lack capacity or context, (2) proof-of-concepts get built without integration, security or governance considered, and (3) there is no clear owner for post-launch operations. Alice Labs solves all three by being the single accountable partner from day one through scale.

End-to-end delivery: prioritised use-case roadmap, reference architecture, production-grade build (LLM apps, agents, RAG, automation), integration with CRM/ERP/data platforms, EU AI Act and GDPR compliance, change management, training, monitoring and a multi-year scale plan. All under one engagement, one team, one accountable partner.

Look for four things: (1) senior team only - no oversized bench, (2) production references, not pilots, (3) commercial alignment - fixed-price or outcome-based pricing, not endless time-and-materials, and (4) governance and compliance built in. Ask for case studies showing AI in production for 12+ months with measurable ROI.

AI release management is the discipline of deploying, monitoring and updating AI systems safely - including model versioning, A/B testing, rollback procedures, performance monitoring, drift detection, incident response and stakeholder communication. Alice Labs provides AI release management as part of every implementation and as a standalone service for enterprises with internal AI teams.

Both models work. We can deliver as a fully outsourced AI partner, embed engineers into your team, or work hub-and-spoke with your internal AI function leading and Alice Labs delivering specific workstreams. Most enterprise clients choose hybrid: we lead the first 2-3 implementations, then transfer ownership to the internal team while continuing to deliver new use cases.

Typical engagements range from €80,000 for a single use-case implementation to €1.5M+ for multi-year enterprise partnerships. We offer fixed-price implementations (clear scope, clear price), monthly retainers from €15,000/month for ongoing partnerships, and outcome-based pricing for select engagements where ROI is measurable.

A focused single use-case implementation typically takes 8-16 weeks from kick-off to production. Enterprise multi-use-case programmes run 6-12 months for the first wave, with continuous rollout thereafter. Alice Labs commits to production deadlines in writing - if we miss, you do not pay for the overrun.

Book a confidential 45-minute discovery call. We discuss your priority use cases, current technology stack, regulatory context and partnership preferences. If there is a fit, we propose a 4-week discovery sprint that produces a prioritised roadmap, reference architecture and detailed implementation plan - typically €25,000-€40,000 - with no obligation to continue.
