Common challenges I help with

Most organisations I work with are dealing with one of these situations. If yours sounds familiar, let's talk.

Not sure where AI fits?

You know AI could help your business, but you are not sure where to start, what is realistic, or how to evaluate the options. I help you cut through the noise and identify what will actually deliver value for your specific situation.

Need a custom AI solution?

Not every problem can be solved with an off-the-shelf tool. If you need a custom AI model, AI built into an existing system, or bespoke software with an AI component, I design, build, and deploy it end to end.

Want to make your AI programme work?

Whether you are scaling AI across your organisation, struggling to get results from existing initiatives, or need an experienced outside view on your technical approach, I bring 20+ years of real-world AI delivery experience to help.

Work with me

Paul Ferguson in consultation at a conference

Whether you need something custom built, want to make better use of your data, or are working out where AI fits in your business, I work with you directly: from the initial conversation through to a working solution.

Where to start

Not sure where to start? I offer a free introductory call to meet, discuss what you're working on, and explore how AI might help. There's no commitment and no obligation.

Publications & patents

Stack of academic papers and publications

My R&D work has resulted in several patents and academic publications spanning various areas of AI, including information retrieval, NLP, data science, and multimedia retrieval.

These works have found practical applications across diverse industries such as healthcare, consumer electronics, and telecommunications, showcasing the benefits of AI in real-world scenarios.
