Do we have to start with an audit?
Start with the audit when the opportunity is broad or unclear. You can start with education or a transformation intensive when the need is already clear.

You have tried AI. It has not changed how the company works.
You bought a tool, or ran a pilot, or sat through a workshop. Six months on, the work happens the way it always did.
It did not stick
The demo worked. The team went back to the old way.
You have paid for this before
Something was promised and delivered, and the business did not change. That makes the next call harder.
Everyone online has an opinion
Your feed is full of people announcing a transformation, and almost nobody shows the work.
Fifty things you could do
The hard part is knowing which two matter now.
AI can work here. Nobody has decided what to change yet.
Find the few AI changes worth making first.
We study your goals, workflows, systems, knowledge, and current AI use. You leave with a prioritised 90-day roadmap and clear implementation scopes.
A practical plan for what to change, what to leave alone, and what your team should do next.
The call is free and takes 20 minutes. The audit is the normal starting point when the opportunity is broad or unclear.
Your 90-day roadmap
- A clear view of current AI use, capability, systems, and constraints
- The best opportunities ranked by value, effort, risk, and dependency
- A prioritised 90-day AI transformation roadmap
- Clear scopes for the first implementation priorities

Education, implementation, and an ongoing partner.

You own what we build.
Your bespoke systems, workflows, and documentation belong to you. You can move them to another team. Clients keep us involved because the relationship remains useful.
From scattered experiments to a new way of working.
We work with the founder and team to choose the right changes, implement them, and build the habits that make them stick.
Discover
We work with the founder and team to understand the company, its goals, its systems, and how people use AI today.
Design
We choose the few changes with the most value and design the future workflow, system, ownership, and adoption plan.
Implement
We build and configure the agents, automations, integrations, internal tools, and team practices required to make the change real.
Embed
We train the team, measure use, improve the systems, and keep the company moving as the technology and business change.
Small by design.
Slo Labs is led by Luke Stynes, a software engineer and AI transformation lead. He works directly with founders to shape the roadmap, design the change, and make the important technical decisions.
We take on a small number of companies at a time. Trusted specialists join when the work needs them, while Luke stays close to the founder and the transformation.
Based in Sydney · Working across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond.
What to know before working with us.
What happens after something launches?
AI Systems Care keeps the system hosted, monitored, maintained, and optimised. The Ongoing AI Transformation Partner continues the company roadmap and leads the next priority.
What is the three-month partnership?
It is the opening cycle of the Ongoing AI Transformation Partner relationship. Month one aligns the roadmap, month two delivers the first priority, and month three measures the result and sets the next priority.
Who owns what you build?
You do. Every line of bespoke code is assigned to you in full when the project is paid, and the reusable Slo Labs toolkit inside it is licensed to you permanently, royalty-free. You could hand it all to another developer tomorrow and owe us nothing.
The call is free and takes 20 minutes. We will recommend the smallest sensible next step.
