Why we focus on New York.

New York is our largest US market and where we spend the most time across the Atlantic. We work with teams in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the wider tri-state area, with on-site sessions in Midtown, Soho, and Flatiron when the engagement calls for it. The competitive intensity of New York shows up in how our clients here operate: ambitious timelines, sharp commercial instincts, and a low tolerance for vendors who cannot ship.

NYC engagements skew heavily toward financial services, fintech, B2B SaaS, advertising, media, and the agency world. The common thread is process complexity and the need to compound advantages quickly. We run engagements primarily remote with US-friendly hours, plus regular on-site visits keyed to milestones and senior workshops.

New York clients are some of the most commercially demanding we work with. Our NYC engagements are structured around fast pilots and visible weekly progress, not long discovery cycles. We staff senior on the project from day one and run the kind of working cadence that matches NYC speed.

New York has the deepest financial and media markets in the world, with a fast-growing applied AI ecosystem anchored by Cornell Tech, Columbia, NYU, and a dense network of senior practitioners across the boroughs.

Why New York businesses choose us

Six reasons New York teams pick AI Advisory.

We compete with London consultancies and global agencies for New York work. Here is what New York clients consistently tell us made the difference.

Senior delivery, with New York on-site days

No graduate sandbox. Senior team flies into New York for kick-offs, milestone reviews, and stakeholder workshops. The rest of the build is delivered remotely on US-friendly hours from our UK base.

Privacy and security aware by default

New York clients in regulated sectors set the bar for data handling. We architect with US privacy frameworks (CCPA, HIPAA where relevant) and SOC 2 expectations in mind, document data flows before any code is written, and self-host models when the engagement requires it.

Built for the New York mix

Financial services and fintech and media and advertising dominate our New York pipeline. We have shipped engagements for businesses in both, and we know what good and bad look like in this market.

Build, not just advise

Strategy that does not turn into shipped software is incomplete. Every New York engagement we run produces working systems alongside the recommendations, with milestone-based payments tied to delivery.

Owns the handover

Code, accounts, and IP are yours from day one. Documentation and runbooks ship with every project so your New York team is never locked in by tribal knowledge that lives only with us.

Outcomes, measured

Hours saved, response times, conversion lifts, error rates. We instrument what we ship in New York the same way we do in Manchester, so success is visible from week one.

Recent New York use cases

What we typically build in New York.

Examples of engagements that fit the New York market. Each one is a real shape of project we have shipped for clients in this region.

Analyst assistant for a Manhattan asset manager

Internal RAG over decades of research, deal memos, and market commentary, with citation-required answers and refusal when sources are missing.

Workflow automation for a Soho creative agency

Multi-channel content production pipeline that ingests briefs, generates first-draft assets, and routes review through the creative directors.

Compliance automation for a Flatiron fintech

Document intelligence triages incoming regulatory packs, maps changes to internal policy, and produces a reviewer-ready change log.

New York AI integrations

Powerful AI integrations.

Whatever your New York build needs, we have the right model for the right job. Blended behind a single internal interface so you are never locked in.

OpenAI

GPT and embeddings. Broad ecosystem, strong structured-output and tool use, the safest default for general production.

Claude

Anthropic's frontier model. Our default for agents and long-context work where reasoning matters more than raw speed.

Gemini

Google's long-context multimodal family. Excellent for document and video pipelines, especially at scale.

Grok

xAI's model with live-web reasoning and a different blend of strengths. Useful for research-style and edge-case workloads.

DeepSeek

Open-weight models with strong cost-to-performance. We use it self-hosted when residency or unit economics demand it.

Perplexity

Citation-grounded search API for live-web augmented agents. Drops cleanly into RAG pipelines that need fresh sources.

New York testimonials

Trusted by New York teams.

Selected feedback from clients in and around New York.

“We were spending 14 hours a week on manual lead qualification. Within a month they had built a system that does it in under 30 minutes a day, and the leads are better qualified than before.”

“They actually understood our business before suggesting tools. That alone put them ahead of every other vendor we spoke to. The build was on time and on budget.”

How we work

Same process, whatever the build.

01

Discovery

02

Strategy

We design the system. Tools, integrations, build vs buy, and a roadmap costed and tied to outcomes.

03

Build

We build the workflows, automations, and AI systems iteratively, with working software every week.

04

Optimise

We monitor, measure, and improve. Most clients keep us on a retainer to extend and tune the systems.

FAQ

Working with us in New York.

The questions New York teams ask before our first call.

Do you actually meet clients in New York?

Yes. Most engagements are delivered remotely, but kick-offs, milestone reviews, and senior workshops happen in person in New York when that adds value. We are happy to come on-site as often as the work needs.

How fast can a New York project go live?

Discovery sprints take a week and produce a roadmap you own. From there, simple workflow automations are typically in production within 2 to 3 weeks; deeper custom AI builds run 4 to 8 weeks for a first pilot. New York clients usually see something working inside the first month.

Are you set up for UK GDPR and data residency?

Default yes. We architect with UK and EU data residency in mind, document data flows before any code is written, and use models or self-hosted deployments that keep sensitive data inside your tenancy when the work demands it.

Do you work with our existing New York suppliers and tools?

We integrate with whatever the team already uses. Most New York clients arrive with a stack of CRMs, ERPs, support desks, finance systems, and bespoke internal tools. We meet them there rather than asking for a wholesale platform replacement.

Will the systems you build for us be ours, or yours?

Yours. Code, configurations, accounts, and IP all sit in your tenancy from day one. We document everything and can hand off to your internal team in New York, or stay on a retainer to operate and extend the systems as your business changes.

Can we start with something small to evaluate fit?

Absolutely. The discovery sprint is designed exactly for that: a fixed-fee one-week engagement that produces a roadmap valuable on its own, even if you take the build elsewhere. Most New York clients use it to de-risk the relationship before committing to a build engagement.
