AI Implementation That Actually Works
68% of business owners say they use AI. 8.8% have it in production. The gap between prompting a chatbot and running AI in your operations is where we work.

The Adoption Gap
An $11 billion market exists because 91.2% of US businesses haven’t moved AI out of the experiment phase. Most are stuck at ChatGPT prompting and calling it a strategy.
The Big Four Blind Spot
The top 10 AI consulting firms capture over half the global market, leaving 36 million US small businesses to figure it out alone — or not at all.
The Human Bottleneck
You can’t Zapier-template an HVAC company. Someone has to sit with the owner, map the workflows, build the integration, and come back when it breaks. AI adoption requires humans.
Service Capabilities
From assessment through production deployment — security-first AI implementation for businesses that need it done right.
AI Readiness Assessment
Know where you stand before you build
Comprehensive evaluation of your current workflows, data infrastructure, and operational bottlenecks to identify where AI will deliver measurable ROI — and where it won’t.
- Business workflow audit and process mapping
- Data quality and availability assessment
- AI opportunity identification and scoring
- ROI modeling with realistic cost projections
- Implementation roadmap with prioritized phases
Best for: Organizations exploring AI adoption and needing a clear-eyed assessment before committing resources.

AI Agent Development
Autonomous systems that work for you
Multi-step AI agents that handle complex, multi-stage tasks without constant human intervention — from scheduling and triage to reporting and cross-system coordination.
- Autonomous scheduling and calendar management
- Intelligent triage and escalation routing
- Automated reporting and insight generation
- Cross-system coordination and data sync
- Human-in-the-loop safeguards and override controls
Best for: Organizations ready for the next level of AI — autonomous agents handling operational workflows end-to-end.
AI Security by Default
Every deployment ships hardened
Every AI implementation includes security architecture from day one. We don’t bolt on protection after the fact — prompt hardening, data isolation, and access controls are built into the foundation.
- Prompt injection prevention and hardening
- Data leakage prevention and isolation
- Role-based access controls for AI systems
- Continuous monitoring and anomaly detection
- Compliance alignment (SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR)
Best for: Every engagement. Security is included by default, not offered as an upsell.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does AI consulting cost for a small business?
Cost depends on scope, complexity, and the number of workflows being automated. OmegaBlack works with businesses at every budget level — from focused single-workflow automations to multi-system integrations. We provide a detailed scoping assessment before any engagement begins so you know exactly what you’re investing in and what to expect in return.
What percentage of small businesses actually use AI in production?
Only 8.8% of small businesses have AI in production operations, according to the US Census Bureau. While 68% of business owners report “using AI,” the overwhelming majority are limited to ChatGPT prompting. The gap between experimentation and production-grade implementation is where consulting delivers the most value.
What’s the difference between ChatGPT and real AI integration?
ChatGPT is a general-purpose conversational tool. AI integration means embedding AI capabilities directly into your business workflows — automated dispatch routing, intelligent document processing, predictive inventory management. The difference is between asking a chatbot questions and having AI systems operate within your business without manual intervention.
Why hire a cybersecurity firm for AI consulting?
Every AI deployment creates new attack surfaces: prompt injection, data leakage, unauthorized system access. Most AI consultants build first and worry about security later. We build security in from day one — because we spend every other day defending organizations against the exact threats that unsecured AI systems introduce.
