Embedded AI Lead
OpenKit becomes your business’s embedded AI team: the people who ran your audit stay on to deliver your 12 month roadmap.
A week with your embedded team.
The same people are with you all week, and the week after, so your systems stay in the heads of the people building on them.
- Mon
In your standup
The week agreed with the team, in your room, on your board.
- Tue
Build day
Agents and automations wired into your systems, in your repo.
- Wed
Build + review
Every run logged; the work reviewed with the people who own it.
- Thu
Ship + train
Live on real workflows. Your champions learn it as it lands.
- Fri
Log + plan
A written log of what shipped, and the next week scoped with you.
Measured ROI on every build
Benchmarked against your own baseline, so the saving is a number your finance team can check.
Work ships as it lands and is reviewed with the people who will use it, so each piece is in real use while the next one is being built. We stay past handover too, at a lighter touch as things settle.
How an engagement usually starts.
Most engagements start with the AI Audit and Transformation, and what follows depends on what it surfaces: many teams keep us on as their Embedded AI Lead, and some commission a Bespoke Build where nothing off the shelf will fit. There’s no fixed package to fit you into, so we start with a working session and agree together how the team comes in.
A working session
Your hours, your tools, what’s worth building first.
The audit comes first
It maps where AI pays back in your organisation and leaves a prioritised roadmap that is yours to keep, whether or not we build it.
Then the roadmap gets built
The same OpenKit people stay on to build it with your team, on a monthly retainer reviewed every month. Where something has to stay inside your own infrastructure, that is where it gets built (Private AI).
Once the AI Audit and Transformation is complete, the retainer runs month to month and you decide each month whether it continues.

FAQ
Do we need an AI strategy first?
No. Most start with the AI Audit and Transformation, which maps where AI fits; the Embedded AI Lead is how the roadmap it produces gets built with your team.
Who actually turns up?
OpenKit becomes your business’s embedded AI team: the people who ran your audit stay on to deliver your 12 month roadmap. The work starts with people who already know your systems and know who will be running them afterwards.
How much of the team’s time do we get?
Agreed as part of the retainer, and reviewed monthly as the work settles.
What happens when they leave?
The point of the engagement is that they leave well: your team is trained to run and extend every system as it ships.
Is this a fractional chief AI officer?
Close cousin, different job. A fractional CAIO sets company-wide direction from the leadership table, and an Embedded AI Lead builds the systems inside your team. The team we embed carries both where you need it, taking the strategic read and building what follows from it.
