What it is

What artificial intelligence consulting is

Artificial intelligence consulting, also called AI consulting, is a professional service that helps a company decide which processes AI can save time on or bring in sales from, which tools to use, and how to put them to work with its systems and its people. An AI consultant starts with a specific process that costs time or money today, not with the technology.

btodigital is a digital marketing agency and an artificial intelligence consulting and development firm, founded in 2013 and based in Medellín, Colombia. It’s a Google Premier Partner. Its artificial intelligence consultants do both halves of the job: the advice and the build. The same team that makes the recommendation then develops, connects and delivers a working solution.

What’s included

What AI consulting includes

  1. Process and data assessment

    The first deliverable of the engagement, separate from the free first meeting. We review your processes, your systems and your data, and find where your team’s effort is going.

  2. Prioritized use cases

    A short list of what’s worth automating first, ranked by impact and difficulty.

  3. Roadmap

    What gets done, in what order, with which tools, and what your company needs to bring to each stage.

  4. A working pilot

    A first solution in real use, so you can measure before scaling up.

  5. Implementation

    AI agents, WhatsApp assistants (in Spanish) and integrations with your CRM, your ERP and your databases.

  6. AI governance

    Usage rules: who can use what, with which data and with what human review.

  7. Ongoing support

    We train your team, document everything and keep measuring.

Case studies

AI consulting and implementation case studies

Medical devices and biomedical equipment

Quirurgil

73% of the billable customer base wasn’t in the CRM, and it’s back in the system. The platform automatically generated 1,308 preventive maintenance jobs across 568 pieces of equipment, which used to be scheduled by hand.

See the case study (in Spanish)

Diagnostic imaging, Medellín

Diagnosticarte

An AI-powered WhatsApp assistant handles appointment confirmations. Of 2,257 appointments handled by the assistant, 2,103 had attendance recorded in the clinic’s system. Among them, patients who confirmed through the assistant showed up 86.9% of the time; those who didn’t confirm, 71.4% (measurement published in August 2026).

Aesthetics and medical devices

Brassia

Meta, Google Ads and the CRM unified in a single dashboard, with every WhatsApp contact attributed in real time to the campaign that brought it in. An AI-powered WhatsApp assistant books and cancels appointments against the clinic’s calendar.

How we work

How an artificial intelligence consulting project works

  1. 01

    Assessment and scope

    We get to know your operation and your systems, and define concrete deliverables.

  2. 02

    Prototype

    We build a first version quickly. You test it and we refine it together before scaling up.

  3. 03

    Development and launch

    We build the full solution and deploy it with monitoring and security from day one.

  4. 04

    Training and evolution

    We train your team and stay with you as the solution grows.

Engagement models

Three ways to work with us

ModelWhat it covers
Strategic consulting onlyAssessment, prioritized use cases and roadmap. Your team or your vendor builds it.
Consulting and buildOn top of the plan, we develop the agents, assistants and integrations.
TrainingAI workshops and talks for teams and executives, led by Carlos Betancur. Booked through carlosbetancur.co: training and keynotes.
Who it’s for

Who it’s for, and who it isn’t

It’s a fit for your company if:

  • You have a process that eats up many hours of your team’s time and you want to know whether AI can solve it.
  • You’ve already tried AI tools, but no real process ended up automated.
  • Your systems don’t talk to each other, and decisions get made by cross-checking data by hand.

We’re not the best option if:

  • You’re only looking for a course on how to use an AI assistant. That’s what Carlos Betancur’s training at carlosbetancur.co is for.
  • You want AI for its own sake, with no process or goal to measure.
In-house products

We don’t just recommend it: we use it and we build it

btodigital develops and runs 6 in-house products and 8 free AI tools. What we apply in your company, we’ve already tested in ours.

We also build custom integrations: Shopify stores connected to the accounting system, ad attribution that matches campaigns against the CRM, and data dashboards. The details are on our software (in Spanish) and case studies (in Spanish) pages.

Other countries

AI consulting for companies in Ecuador, Peru and Central America

The service is available remotely to companies in Ecuador, Peru, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. The team works from Medellín: Ecuador, Peru and Panama share Colombia’s time zone, and the rest of Central America is one hour behind. Meetings are held by video call, everything is delivered in Spanish and, in custom projects, the solution is installed in each company’s own cloud, with its own access credentials.

The case studies on this page are from Colombian companies; the method is the same.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about AI consulting

What does an artificial intelligence consultant do?

An artificial intelligence consultant analyzes how the company works, identifies where AI adds value, recommends the right tools and supports their rollout. At btodigital, the same team also builds the solution.

Where do you start using AI in a company?

With a specific process that costs time or money today. First we look at where your team’s effort is going, and that tells us what to automate.

What happens after I book the assessment?

We set up a free 60-minute first meeting by video call. We review the process you want to improve and tell you whether AI can solve it. If it makes sense to keep going, you get a proposal with scope and deliverables.

How much does AI consulting cost?

It depends on the scope: an assessment, an assistant with integrations and a custom platform are very different projects. Every proposal comes after a free first meeting. The full assessment is the first deliverable of the service.

How long until I see results?

A well-chosen automation starts saving your team hours as soon as it goes live. Projects involving data and integrations are measured in months.

Where does my company’s data live?

In custom projects, on your own infrastructure: we set them up in your company’s cloud, with your access and your keys, and we don’t train models on your information. If the solution uses one of our products, such as Atendio, we explain before we start where the data is hosted and who has access.

Which models and tools do you use?

Mainly Claude, by Anthropic, plus Gemini and GPT depending on the task. We pick the one that solves the problem, and it can be changed later.

Is btodigital a marketing agency or an AI consultancy?

Both. btodigital is a digital marketing agency founded in 2013 and an AI consulting and development firm. The consulting is delivered by the same team that builds its in-house products.

What’s the difference between an AI consultancy and an artificial intelligence company?

An artificial intelligence company develops or sells solutions; a consultancy helps you decide which ones are worth it and in what order. btodigital does both. The full catalog is on AI for business (in Spanish).

Do you work with companies in Ecuador, Peru or Central America?

Yes. The consulting is available remotely, from Medellín and in Spanish, for companies in Ecuador, Peru, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama.

Do you offer AI training?

Yes, led by Carlos Betancur. Workshops and talks are booked through carlosbetancur.co: training and keynotes.
