Consulting — AI Integration

Most companies bolt AI on. We rebuild the workflow around it.

88% of firms use AI. Only 6% see bottom-line impact. The difference is implementation — the invisible work of redesigning how tasks move, who makes decisions, and where the AI actually fits. That's what we do.

The integration gap

Where companies actually lose the AI race.

Adoption is near-universal. Measurable impact is not. Each step below is where companies drop out — and where the real work lives.

The integration gap isn't a technology problem. It's a workflow problem — which is why frontier-lab model releases don't close it.

01 / Flagship system

The GSTR-2B reconciliation engine.

Our first fully-productized consulting engagement. Built for CA firms. Shipping in weeks, not quarters.

For CA Firms

The CA Firm AI Employee

100,138 registered CA firms in India. 72% solo practices. ₹15–25K/mo retainer.

The pain

40–60 hours/month manually matching purchase registers against GSTR-2B. Data-entry errors cause 40% of GST compliance issues. Reconciliation alone consumes 8+ hours per filing cycle.

Outcome

Demo data: 16 invoices processed, 81.2% match rate, ₹2,685 ITC-at-risk caught on first run. Target: 10+ hours/month reclaimed per filing cycle, validated against baseline.

The stack — four tools, one install

Full product page →

01

Reconciliation engine

GSTR-2B JSON + Tally purchase register → 5-sheet Excel with matched, mismatched, and only-in-books rows, ITC-at-risk flagged.

02

Vendor follow-up bot

Mismatch rows auto-generate personalized WhatsApp messages to vendors. Three Meta-approved templates cover missing invoice, amount mismatch, and GSTIN mismatch.

03

Invoice OCR to Tally

Client WhatsApps an invoice photo → Tesseract + Claude Vision extract fields → balanced double-entry Tally XML voucher draft queued for CA review.

04

ITC risk dashboard

Monthly MIS: ITC claimed vs available vs at-risk, top-10 leaking vendors, trend chart. Runs on the CA's laptop — no data leaves the firm.

02 / Engagement models

Four ways to work with us.

Most engagements start with an Audit or a single Automation build. The best ones become Retainers — because the systems we build keep paying back.

012 weeks · fixed fee
₹1L – 5L

AI Readiness Audit

A workflow-first diagnostic — we map how work actually flows through your firm, find the 40-60 hour/month tasks, and show exactly where AI replaces labor without breaking the process.

Deliverable — Diagnostic report + prioritized automation roadmap + ROI model + 30-day pilot scope.

024 weeks · fixed scope
₹50K – 5L / project

Automation Build

One workflow, shipped to production. Built in n8n + OpenAI/Claude APIs, integrated with your Tally/Zoho/banking stack. Most builds go live in under 14 days.

Deliverable — Live automation + ops documentation + handover or retainer option.

038–12 weeks · phased
₹5L – 15L

Platform Build

Multi-system infrastructure: GSTR-2B reconciliation, document processing, MIS dashboards, compliance tracking. Integrated and unified, not stitched together from point tools.

Deliverable — Production platform + API integrations + team training + 90-day hypercare.

04Quarterly · rolling
₹50K – 2L / month

Retainer / Fractional AI Officer

Embedded AI partner. We run the systems we build, monitor them, iterate quarterly, and stay close enough to catch the next leverage point before you do.

Deliverable — Ongoing ops + monthly performance reviews + priority engineering + new automations as scope evolves.

03 / Who we work with

Finance-first, by design.

We lead with finance-adjacent verticals because that's where the team's domain expertise is deepest — and where the regulatory and workflow complexity creates the highest switching costs.

01

CA Firms

GST reconciliation, document processing, MIS automation.

02

Small NBFCs

Bank statement analysis, alternative credit scoring, compliance audit trails.

03

Fintech Startups

RBI FREE-AI compliance, KYC automation, regulatory reporting.

04

D2C & Professional Services

Messaging-first sales engines, CRM automation, attribution pipelines.

04 / How we deliver

Senior-led, tool-agnostic, fast.

Senior-led engagements

No bait-and-switch with junior staff. The people who scope the work are the people who ship it. You get senior engineers and strategists on every call.

Tool-agnostic stack

n8n, Claude, OpenAI, Python, Next.js. We pick the cleanest tool for the workflow — never the one with the biggest margin for us.

Speed as a feature

Most automations go live in 14 days. Audits in 2 weeks. Platform builds in 8–12 weeks. If we can't ship in that window, we won't take the engagement.

Reusable assets

Every engagement produces a template, connector, or dataset we keep — so the next similar client starts at 60% done, not zero.

Next step

Start with a 2-week audit.

Fixed scope. Fixed fee. Written diagnostic and roadmap at the end — whether or not you continue with PolyCloud. A good audit pays for itself in avoided mistakes alone.
