Questions buyers ask
How do I choose an AI consulting firm in Sydney?
Ask for an AI system the firm has put into production and still runs, how it keeps your data inside your own environment, and whether the people advising you also build. A short advisory piece that ends in a costed plan is a good first step. PicNet's AI services FAQ sets out how it approaches each of these.
Which Australian companies build production AI systems?
Product companies build AI into their own software; consultancies and engineering firms build AI systems for clients. This page covers both kinds so you can tell which you need.
Can AI run privately inside our own environment?
Yes. Platforms such as AWS Bedrock and Azure AI Foundry run models inside your own cloud tenancy, so sensitive data does not leave it.
