Serving the institutions that serve our communities.

Kolo AI Solutions

AI Consulting for Public Institutions

Your institution has decades of expertise.
Now it has the AI to match.

Four experts. Over 80 combined years in education, social services, and community development. AI implementation built on the kind of domain knowledge no tech company can replicate.

What We Actually Do

01

Find the Pain

We sit with your team, not above them, and identify the workflows burning the most time and money.

02

Build the Tool

Custom AI automations, dashboards, and systems designed for your specific operations. No off-the-shelf products.

03

Train the People

Your staff learns to use and maintain every tool we build. We leave capacity, not dependency.

We serve the institutions that serve communities — school districts, social service agencies, nonprofits, and local government — with AI implementation grounded in practitioner expertise, not Silicon Valley assumptions.

How we work with institutions

Every engagement starts with understanding your operations — not selling you a product.

AI Readiness Assessment

A comprehensive evaluation of your organization's current technology use, staff capacity, pain points, and opportunities. You receive a prioritized roadmap — not a generic report.

Starting at $2,500

Professional Development

Hands-on AI training where your staff builds working tools during the session. Differentiated tracks for leadership, frontline staff, and technical teams.

$1,500 – $3,000 per session

Fractional AI Leadership

Ongoing AI strategy, implementation, and training on a monthly retainer. A fraction of the cost of a full-time technology officer — with more domain expertise.

$5,000 – $15,000/month

Every dollar saved is a dollar that goes back to the people you serve.
