// AI integration for small & mid-sized teams

Most companies buy AI tools. We integrate them into your business.

Ferula audits your AI spend, then integrates AI into the systems you already run — CRM, accounting, tickets, docs — so it acts on your real data instead of sitting in a chat window.

Starts with a fixed-fee audit. No open-ended retainers, no lock-in.

01 The problem

AI access isn't the problem anymore. Integration is.

Nine in ten small businesses already use AI. Almost none can point to what it changed. The gap is integration — and four symptoms give it away.

01

Tool sprawl & AI fatigue

ChatGPT here, Copilot there, a coding tool, three SaaS "AI features." Fragmented workflows, rising cost, no clear return.

02

The cost / performance fog

Per-seat, credit pools, per-token — the pricing models aren't even comparable, and they change every few weeks. Nobody can tell what to pay for.

03

Stalled pilots

AI sits in a chat window, disconnected from the data and systems where work actually happens. Without integration, it never crosses from neat demo to daily use.

04

The talent gap

You can't justify a full-time AI engineer, and freelancers leave one-off projects behind — no continuity, no governance, no reusable assets.

of enterprise GenAI pilots delivered no measurable bottom-line impact. The cause was integration, not model quality — exactly the part most teams skip.

02 What we do

Two tightly linked jobs. Both fixed-scope.

We right-size what you spend, then build the integrations that connect AI to the systems where work actually happens.

01 — Right-size

Audit the AI stack & spend

A vendor-neutral review that maps where AI can actually move the P&L — and what you should (and shouldn't) be paying. Keep, cut, consolidate, or right-size every seat.

02 — Build

Build the connective tissue

Custom integrations and agent skills that wire AI into your real systems — so it reads, decides, and acts on live business data instead of guessing.

Direct integration Agent skills Live data access Custom workflows
03 How it works

A three-step ladder — not open-ended consulting.

Every stage is a fixed-scope package with a defined outcome. Start small, prove value, expand only when it pays.

05 Why ferula

Enterprise-grade integration at SMB speed.

Big integrators price for the enterprise. Freelancers leave no continuity. We own the middle nobody else does.

Vendor-neutral

We recommend what fits the job and the budget — including spending less than you do today.

Fixed scope & price

Productized packages with defined outcomes. Your risk stays low; delivery stays repeatable.

Governed & secure

We control which agents touch which data, with shadow-AI controls built in from day one.

Built to compound

Every sprint adds reusable assets, so the next build is faster and cheaper than the last.

// Who's behind it

Built by researchers who've shipped AI at scale.

Ferula's founders are researchers with production experience building and deploying machine-learning systems at large technology companies — including ByteDance. We've shipped the real thing inside billion-user products; now we bring that depth to teams that can't hire it full-time.
