AI Facilitation for Engineering Teams

Your team builds it.
We make sure they succeed.

Your internal developers already know your systems better than any outside team ever will. We train, facilitate, and coach them through building AI capabilities in-house — so the knowledge stays where it belongs.

A Different Approach

Why We Don't Build It For You

Traditional AI Consulting

They build it. You depend on them.

  • Contractors learn your systems, then leave
  • Your team inherits a black box they don't understand
  • Every change needs to go back through the vendor
  • Institutional knowledge walks out the door
  • Results: projects that don't get maintained
Harness Foundry

Your team builds it. They own it completely.

  • Internal devs already know your systems
  • They build it — so they understand every part of it
  • No external dependency after we leave
  • Knowledge compounds inside your organization
  • Results: AI that actually gets used and evolved

What We Provide

External Facilitation for Internal Teams

Strategic Offsites

Align leadership and engineering on where AI fits and what to build first. The right framing before the first line of code.

  • AI opportunity mapping for your operations
  • First project selection and scoping
  • Leadership buy-in and alignment
  • Roadmap for what follows

Team Training

Get your engineers up to speed on AI tooling, LLMs, and how to build with them. Practical skills, not theory.

  • Hands-on workshops with your stack
  • LLM fundamentals and prompt engineering
  • Architecture patterns for AI products
  • AI-augmented development workflows

Project Facilitation

Guide your team through the full build — from architecture to launch. We keep the project moving and unblock the hard parts.

  • Sprint-by-sprint guidance and review
  • Architecture and model selection support
  • Integration strategy for existing systems
  • Quality and testing frameworks

Ongoing Coaching

A thought partner for the founder and a guide for the team as your AI capabilities grow beyond the first project.

  • Regular check-ins and strategy sessions
  • Async support on hard decisions
  • Next project identification and scoping
  • Team capability review and growth

Case Study

How This Looks in Practice

Built at VistaJet

Camomile — CS Intelligence Layer

VistaJet's customer support team handled thousands of complex, high-stakes requests daily — flights, clients, preferences, real-time status, all across time zones. Agents needed instant context before every interaction, and getting it meant switching between multiple systems while the clock was ticking.

Mikhail drove the strategy: identify the problem, define what the tool needed to do, and support the process. The tool itself was built by Andrey — one internal software developer who already knew VistaJet's systems, had the relationships with other teams, and could integrate Camomile into the existing stack without disruption.

That's the model. Andrey didn't need to hand anything off when the project ended — he built it, he owns it, he can evolve it.

Who This Is For

Two People Need to Be in the Room

The Initiator

A founder or leader who wants to move on AI

You see the opportunity — AI could change how your team works. You just need the strategic clarity to know where to start and a thought partner with real AI-in-production experience to help you get there.

  • Wants to move fast but needs a grounded strategy
  • Can champion the initiative internally
  • Wants to build a capability, not buy a dependency
The Builder

An engineering team ready to build it

Your developers know your systems better than anyone. They may not have deep AI experience yet — but with the right training and facilitation, they're the best people to build this. That's who we work with.

  • Strong engineers, new to AI tooling
  • Embedded in the business, know the context
  • Will own and maintain what gets built

Engagement Models

How We Work Together

Strategic Offsite
A focused 1–2 day session to align leadership and engineering on your AI direction. Walk away with a clear first project, a shared understanding of the opportunity, and a team that's ready to start.
Facilitated Build
We guide your internal team through a full AI project — from training and architecture to launch and handoff. Sprint-by-sprint facilitation, with your developers doing the building.
Ongoing Partnership
Monthly retainer for continuous coaching and facilitation. For teams that want to build multiple AI capabilities over time, with a consistent thought partner for the founder and guide for the team.
