Questions people ask before they call
What does WiscAI do?
WiscAI is an artificial intelligence (AI) consulting firm in Madison, Wisconsin, founded in 2024 by Michael Zhang, serving leadership teams across Wisconsin and nationwide. We sit with the people doing the work, find where AI gives them real time back, and build it beside them: a working system in weeks, with the rules it learns written down so your team runs it without us. You pay for working pieces, one step at a time, each proven on your own data before the next, and you can stop after any step. As your outside AI partner, we keep the AI work moving while your team keeps the business running: your people learn by doing, adoption keeps its momentum, and the know-how of your 30-year veterans gets written down before it walks out the door. A three-week AI Audit / Roadmap shows where to start. We work with a diverse group of companies, from manufacturers and consumer brands to credit unions and college athletic programs.
What does it cost?
The first call is free. Every engagement is quoted before work starts and paid in working pieces, and you can stop after any piece. The AI Audit / Roadmap is one fixed fee for three weeks; a build is quoted from the audit or from a short scoping call. The fees are on the Services page.
What happens after you hand it over?
Your team runs it without us. You keep the code in your own accounts, the rules it learned written down, and a handover scoped as work: documentation, monitoring, and a named person on our side during the transition. The details are on the Services page.
Where is WiscAI located?
WiscAI is based in Madison, Wisconsin, at 821 E Washington Ave, 2nd Floor. The team serves clients across Wisconsin, including Milwaukee, Green Bay, Appleton, Oshkosh, Fond du Lac, Sheboygan, Kenosha, Racine, Eau Claire, Waukesha, and La Crosse, and works with clients nationwide, delivered remotely and on-site.
How do I start working with WiscAI?
Most engagements begin with a free 30-minute conversation. When the fit is right, the usual first step is the three-week, fixed-fee AI audit, with no commitment past the audit itself. When the workflow is already clear, we quote the build and implementation directly.
What industries does WiscAI serve?
WiscAI works with a diverse group of companies, from manufacturers and consumer brands to credit unions and college athletic programs. The patterns carry across industries: know-how leaving with long-tenured people, repetitive judgment eating skilled hours, and teams too busy to get the solution built. The regulation and the domain we learn with each client's own experts.
Does WiscAI offer AI training and advisory?
Yes. That is Accelerate: WiscAI as your outside AI partner and advisor. We keep the AI work moving while your team keeps the business running, starting with hands-on workshops on your team's real tasks, so people learn by doing and adoption keeps its momentum. It is a set monthly amount per team, agreed up front.
