You know AI can grow your business.
We make it actually happen.
You didn't start your business to become an AI expert. We handle the strategy, the architecture, the implementation — and we train the talent to make it run.
Our mission: To make AI accessible, actionable, and profitable for every business — and to build the workforce that powers it.
Who we work with
We work with business owners, operations leaders, and career-driven individuals who are tired of AI hype — and ready for results.
"I've spent money on AI tools and seen zero return."
Subscriptions piling up. Teams not using them. Budget gone with nothing to show for it.
"I don't know who to trust or where to start."
Everyone's selling something. You need a real advisor on your side — not a vendor with a quota.
"I want to break into tech but can't afford the training."
The skills are in demand. The opportunities are real. The barrier is funding — and we remove it.
"My competitors are moving faster than me."
Every month without a real AI strategy is a month they pull further ahead. The window is closing.
What we do
We turn AI confusion into a clear, working strategy — fast.
Most businesses don't need a full AI department. They need one trusted partner who combines business strategy AND technical architecture — with zero interest in selling them anything beyond real results.
That's AstroSynth AI. We sit on your side of the table, design a strategy built around your specific business, and stay through execution to make sure it delivers.
What makes us different
We are the only AI consultancy that combines deep business strategy with hands-on solution architecture — with zero vendor bias. Most consultants do one or the other. We do both.
AI Readiness Assessment
We audit your operations and show you exactly where AI saves time and money — before you spend a dollar on implementation.
Solution Architecture
We design the right technical blueprint for your goals — so nothing gets built twice and nothing gets wasted.
Vendor & Tool Selection
Unbiased evaluation of what fits your situation — we don't take referral fees or push platforms.
Implementation Oversight
We stay through execution to ensure the build matches the plan and delivers measurable results.
Regulated Industry AI Consulting
GxP, HIPAA, and 21 CFR Part 11 compliant AI strategy for pharma, healthcare, and biotech organizations.
Fractional Chief AI Officer
Ongoing strategic AI leadership on a part-time retainer — enterprise-level guidance without the full-time cost.
How an engagement works
Discovery call — free
Thirty minutes. You describe the business; we tell you honestly whether AI helps, where, and what it would take. No deck, no pressure.
Readiness assessment & roadmap
A short, fixed-scope engagement that audits your data, workflows, and constraints — and delivers a prioritized roadmap with cost and effort estimates you can execute with or without us.
Build oversight or fractional CAIO
We architect and oversee implementation, or serve as your part-time AI leadership — with evaluation gates and governance built in from day one.
Workforce Training & Placement
We train people for AI careers — and help them land them.
AstroSynth AI runs a workforce development program that takes career-changers, underemployed adults, and motivated learners — and turns them into job-ready AI and cloud professionals. Training is free or low-cost through our funding partnerships.
Once trained, graduates are placed into roles with employer partners across Indianapolis and beyond — through direct hire or contract placement under the AstroSynth AI talent network.
Training is free to the learner.
We fund it through grants, WIOA partnerships, and employer-sponsored cohorts — so cost is never the barrier.

The AstroSynth AI experience
What working with us feels like
Like a specialist you can call anytime
The way you trust a great doctor or attorney — straight answers, expert guidance, always in your corner.
Direct, honest, zero sales pressure
We tell you what you need to hear — not what you want to hear. If AI isn't the right move for something, we'll say so.
Boutique attention, enterprise expertise
You work directly with the founder — not junior staff. We keep our client list small so every engagement gets full focus.
Proof, not promises
We show working systems instead of testimonials. A selection of public and representative work:
Regulated AI · RAG
