Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about AI consulting, training, and custom solutions.

What is an AI Opportunity Assessment?

An AI Opportunity Assessment is a structured 2-week evaluation of your business processes to identify where AI and automation can deliver the highest ROI. It includes a Readiness Scorecard measuring your data, processes, team, and infrastructure readiness; a Process Opportunity Map identifying your top 5-10 automation candidates; a 90-Day Roadmap with prioritized implementation steps; and an Executive Presentation for stakeholder buy-in.

How long does a custom AI solution take to build?

Most custom AI solutions are delivered within 90 days. This includes discovery and planning (weeks 1-2), building and testing (weeks 3-8), and deployment and training (weeks 9-12). Complex enterprise projects may take longer, but we commit to clear milestones and regular progress updates throughout.

Do I own the AI solution you build?

Yes, 100%. You own all the intellectual property we create for you. No subscription fees, no vendor lock-in. We build it, we hand it over, you own it. We can also provide managed services — hosting, monitoring, updates, and 24/7 support — but that's optional. The code and models are yours.

What Microsoft Copilot courses do you offer?

We deliver 12 official Microsoft Copilot courses: MS-4002 (Copilot User Enablement), MS-4004 (Empower Workforce with Copilot), MS-4005 (Craft Prompts for Copilot), MS-4007 (Copilot for Finance), MS-4008 (Copilot Foundations), MS-4010 (Declarative Agents), MS-4015 (Custom Engine Agents), MS-4017 (Copilot for Healthcare), MS-4018 (Copilot for Security), MS-4019 (Copilot for Service), MS-4021 (Collaborative Communications), and MS-4023 (GitHub Copilot). Plus AI-102 (Azure AI), PL-300 (Power BI), and custom workshops.

How much does AI consulting cost?

Pricing depends on scope. AI Opportunity Assessments start at $2,500 for small businesses. Custom AI solutions range from $10,000 to $75,000+ depending on complexity. Training is priced per course or per engagement. We always provide a detailed proposal before any commitment, and the initial consultation is free.

What industries do you serve?

We specialize in "boring businesses" — industries with stable demand, predictable workflows, and clear automation opportunities. This includes HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and home services; dental offices and healthcare practices; construction and property management; legal and professional services; accounting and insurance; restaurants and fitness studios. These businesses benefit most from AI automation because their processes are repeatable.

What's included in managed AI services?

Managed AI Services include: hosting your AI solution on secure cloud infrastructure (Azure), monitoring for performance and errors, regular updates and improvements, security patches, backup and disaster recovery, and 24/7 support. This is optional — you can self-host if you prefer — but most clients choose managed services so they can focus on their business.

Where are you located?

AIA Copilot is based in Traverse City, Michigan. We work with clients across the United States and deliver training both in-person and virtually. Most consulting and development work is done remotely, but we're available for on-site engagements when needed.
