Empower your employees
to optimize productivity
with the power of AI.
No custom-built software, no additional AI subscriptions. Use the platforms you already use—MS Copilot, ChatGPT, and Gemini. We figure out new updates, use cases, and how they work. We partner with you and your team to be their AI consultant, guide, and help desk.
The AI Consultant: Moving Beyond The Chat
Most enterprises hand employees AI licenses and expect instant productivity. Instead, staff treat them like basic search engines or give up when prompts fail. We bridge that gap without 6-figure software contracts or lengthy consulting engagements.
Traditional AI Consultancies
- Expensive 6-figure custom development contracts
- Lengthy multi-month scoping and rollout cycles
- Risky external databases, complex APIs, and 3rd-party code
- Theoretical prompt workshops that don't solve daily work
Techlyst Fractional Desk
- Affordable monthly retainers ($500 - $1,000/mo) with no lock-in
- Immediate 1-on-1 MS Teams troubleshooting for employees
- 100% native environment safety (SharePoint, Teams, Copilot Studio)
- Pragmatic workflows that save measurable payroll hours
