What to Expect

Our consultation process is structured to provide meaningful, actionable insights without a long-term commitment. Each consultation typically consists of two to three focused sessions where we:

  • Session 1: Discuss your specific technical questions, identify any barriers, and make an action plan to address your needs.
  • Sessions 2 & 3: Dive into you specific questions by exploring tools, methods, and resources to help you and your team. This could include technology demos, group brainstorming, and identifying next steps.

Our consultations include advice on:

  • Generative AI Fluency: From chatbots basics to advanced coding agents, we can help guide your use of powerful tools accelerate your science or project.
  • Machine Learning Workflows: Learn from experts in NLP, computer vision, and statistical modeling how ML can be applied in your domain.
  • Computing Environments & Cloud Computing: Navigating the technical infrastructure and cloud resources needed to power intensive computations.
  • Data Management: Ensuring your data is organized, accessible, and ready for AI applications.
  • Collaborative Software Development: Best practices for building code in a team environment including version control.
  • Open Science Principles: Aligning your research with transparency and reproducibility standards.

By engaging with our team, you are connecting with a network of experts dedicated to solving real-world challenges through responsible AI. If your project requires more intensive development after the initial consultation, our team can help determine if it is a fit for our other programs, such as the AI Innovation Pilots for rapid prototyping or AI Research Support & Proposal Development for securing external funding.
