/ AI advisory, Brisbane
AI consulting and advisory for Brisbane businesses
If you run a team with an AI target, we test tools on your data before we recommend them and tell you which use cases will move your KPI this year.
Bring the use cases already on your list. You'll leave knowing which to start now, which to wait on and which to walk away from.
A free 30-minute call with a senior consultant, whether or not we work together.
Delivering programs since 2010
8 sectors, from mining to professional sport
Our team has worked on programs for Metagenics, Aurizon Network, Suncorp, Origin Energy, the Hunter Valley Coal Chain Coordinator, Orica, Big W, Griffith University and The University of Queensland.
Picking the AI that will move a KPI is the hard part
One client's AI stocktake found 30 of 43 staff routing work through personal AI accounts. We're now setting the policy and training each team on its real work.
We sort the use cases that work today from the ones that are a year early, and frame the upside with the controls your risk team needs.
How we work on your program
Test before we recommend
We test each use case on your data and sort what shifts a KPI from what's a year early.
Frame upside and guardrails
We set out the value for the board and the controls for the risk team in one document.
Land it in delivery
We put AI into how you build and run the work, with the governance agreed up front.

/ Why Softwired
Why leaders ask us for AI advice
Advice from AI work we're running now
We're running the client rollout described above: setting the AI policy and training each team on its real work. What we learn there about policy and training goes into the advice we give you.
Delivery people who also advise
Softwired has delivered programs since 2010. We judge each AI use case on whether your team can build it, run it and report on it, as well as on what it could earn.
One plan for the board and the risk team
The plan sets out the expected value of each use case and the controls beside it. The board, risk and audit sign off the same document before the first pilot starts.
AI advisory services in Brisbane: common questions
What are AI advisory services?
An independent view on which AI use cases to start now, which to wait on and which to drop. We test tools on your data before we recommend them.
Do you work outside Brisbane?
Yes. We are based in Brisbane and advise teams across Australia, remotely or on site.
What happens on the first call?
It is a free 30-minute call with a senior consultant. Bring the use cases on your list. We name the one least likely to pay back.
Signs this is the right next step
- The board has asked for an AI strategy and you need one you can act on.
- You're evaluating a major AI investment and want a second opinion.
- You're rolling out AI tools and adoption is uneven.
The questions we get before we start.
AI advisory is independent guidance on where AI will move a business metric. It covers strategy, use-case selection, governance, and the implementation that follows. We test tools against your data and operating model before recommending them.
Start with the use cases that will move a KPI your business already tracks. We’ll tell you which use cases are real, which are demo-ware, and which are a year early, so you leave knowing what to do, what to wait on, and what to walk away from.
Closer to strategists, with delivery experience behind the advice. We’re a delivery consultancy that does AI advisory. We work alongside data, technology, and operating teams, and we partner with specialists for deep machine learning and data-science work where it’s warranted. Our strength is knowing what AI does and doesn’t land inside real businesses.
Alongside the upside, from the start. The boardroom wants the upside; risk and audit want the controls. We frame both before anything is piloted, so governance shapes what gets piloted and AI lands with guardrails already in place.
