Every vendor in your inbox right now claims their product has AI. Most of them are wrong, and the few that aren’t may not be a fit for a regulated business with strict data-handling requirements. SM Consulting helps you cut through the pitch deck and figure out what’s worth doing.
What we actually do
- AI opportunity assessment. We sit down with your team, look at where time is being lost, and identify the two or three places AI can deliver real, measurable value — and the places it can’t.
- Vendor evaluation. We review AI-enabled product pitches from your existing vendors (core banking systems, fraud detection, compliance tooling) and tell you which claims hold up and which are marketing.
- On-device and private AI. When client data can’t leave your walls — which is most of the time, for community banks and healthcare-adjacent businesses — we design and implement AI solutions that run locally. Our team has shipped a production mobile app with fully on-device machine learning.
- Custom AI integrations. When off-the-shelf doesn’t fit, we build. Document classification, intelligent search, predictive analytics, automated reporting — tailored to your data and your workflow.
- Policy and governance. Regulators are catching up to AI fast. We help you build the policies, audit trails, and review processes you’ll need before your next exam.
Why this matters now
The question your community is asking isn’t “should we use AI?” — it’s “where, how, and what do we tell our regulators?” Getting those answers wrong costs money. Getting them right is a competitive advantage. We help you get them right.
