Build reliable educational AI, before hiring a full-time AI engineer

The Real Challenge

You don't want a dev shop (there's an agent for that).
You just need some advice .

Getting AI from prototype to production-grade takes experience β€” but hiring a good AI Engineer will take months.

  • Hiring a full-time AI engineer can take 6+ months.
  • You may not even have enough AI-specific work to justify an AI specialist, but you need the expertise.
  • This isn't the time to risk it all on a speedy but questionable hire. You just need some advice to bridge the gap.

Wedgwood Advisory Services

We offer a short menu of services. Speak to a human if you'd like to discuss working together.

πŸ“‹

1. Advisory

Start here. We advise according to your AI/EdTech needs, with a fixed budget of sync time, and presence in your workplace IM (e.g. Slack). We only advise, we don't substitute for your own technical team. Then, when the engagement ends, you don't need us; you have complete ownership.

  • AI roadmap and feature scoping
  • 1:1 coaching for SWEs building AI systems for the first time
  • Hands-on build support and review

2. AI Engineer Training

Turn your software engineers into confident AI engineers. We share training materials, point to the best resources, and can offer bespoke training programs.

  • Curated materials and video recommendations
  • Workshops baked into advisory engagements
  • Longer-term programs for leveling up SWEs

3. Contract R&D

We don't sell software development services (there's an agent for that). We do offer short-cycle R&D to de-risk novel AI applications in EdTech.
Examples: RAG for 3D gamified learning (question: "Can an LLM accurately guide learners through 3D educational gaming?", educational media generation at scale (research question: "Can we generate entire curricula that tightly align to common core standards?").

  • De-risk novel features before you build
  • Produce a working prototype or clear no-go
Testimonials

Teams ship AI features without the hiring risk

β€œWe were two weeks from posting an AI engineer job. Wedgwood got us to production faster and saved us a six-figure hire.”

Maya K.CEO, EdTech Startup
β€œOur prototype impressed in demos but failed with real users. In four weeks we had a chatbot our learners actually trusted.”
DR
Daniel R.CTO, EdTech Startup
β€œThey speak founder. No jargon, no bloated roadmap. Just shipped features and a team that knows how to maintain them.”
