AI & automation

Not much. We use it for small, minor things, and we are happy to. The business runs on accountable people. That is the same approach we recommend to clients: AI for the repetitive parts, humans for the decisions.

Whichever fits the job and your rules: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or an open model on hardware you control. We are partners with Anthropic and OpenAI and we are not tied to either.

It stays in your accounts. We build against your API keys and your tenants, with data-handling terms you have read. Nothing is trained on your data unless you choose that.

A fixed scope with a written estimate for the build, then a monthly amount for hosting, monitoring and updates. No per-seat surprises.

Usually, yes. We review the codebase and the hosting first and tell you what is realistic before quoting.

For many business tasks, open models are more than good enough, and they keep your data private. For the hardest work we can also connect the big providers through their business APIs. We will be honest about which fits.

On ALCO infrastructure in Idaho, sized for the models you choose. Larger models need more memory and compute; we quote that in writing.

Whoever you say. Access is behind your company sign-in with two-step sign-in required, and usage is logged.

Yes, with retrieval set up over the folders you choose. It stays on the server.

Yes. See AI development: people are accountable for the result, the model does the drafting.

Privacy of credentials and data, cost at volume, and the ability to reach systems inside your network. n8n Cloud is fine for some; we will tell you which fits.

Yes. With a site-to-site connection or an agent, workflows can reach systems that are not on the public internet.

You, your team, or ALCO. Many clients start with ALCO building the first few and take over from there.

n8n is published under its Sustainable Use License, which allows internal business use. We will explain the terms before you build on it.
