dploy.ai

Built for businesses that can't afford to get AI wrong.

dploy.ai helps regulated and professional-services businesses in Ireland put AI to work properly. New services you could not offer before. A better experience for every client. Your team freed for the work that actually needs a person. All of it designed to satisfy GDPR and the EU AI Act from the first day.

the hours a full-time position was losing, returned to the team

An Irish wealth advisory firm asked us to rethink client onboarding. We built a working system that enters client details once, drafts every provider instruction for a person to review, and shows the whole pipeline on one dashboard. The team got its hours back. More importantly, every new client now gets a start with the firm that the old process could never have delivered, and the firm can grow without adding headcount to cope.

The same firm has since commissioned a second build.

The opportunity

What could your team do with AI beside them?

AI has changed what a business your size can offer. Processes that had to be manual can be rebuilt entirely. Services that needed a team twice yours are now within reach. We have seen a five-day reporting cycle become same-day. We have seen a thirty-person firm offer what used to take sixty.

The pattern in all of it: AI does the drafting, the re-keying and the waiting, and your people do the judging, the advising and the relationships. That is the point. The same people, doing better work, for more clients.

Efficiency comes with this. Hours return wherever manual work disappears, and we count them. But the businesses getting the most from AI are using it to grow.

The question is not “where are we wasting time?” It is “what could we offer that we have never even considered?”

Who we are

We've sat in your chair.

Not a junior consultant with a slide deck.

Our team has led organisations, not just advised them. COO and CFO in financial services. CFO of a publicly listed company. Governance and data protection built from inside a regulated industry. We've built practices from scratch, shipped a live AI product, and run a governed AI estate: tiered data routing, quarterly regulatory monitoring, and formal EU AI Act classification.

dploy.ai exists because we kept seeing the same gap: businesses that need AI guidance from people who understand operations and compliance, not just technology.

The standard we build to

Built for businesses that can't afford to get AI wrong.

GDPR-first
Data protection is designed in from the start, never bolted on afterwards.
Your data stays in the EU
Everything we recommend and build keeps data within EU borders.
A person stays in control
AI drafts and suggests. A human reviews and approves anything that matters.
Documented and auditable
If a regulator or a client asks how it works, the answer is written down.

This is also how we run dploy.ai itself. Our own regulatory monitor tracks more than ten EU regulations every quarter, our own data moves through a tiered routing framework, and we have taken a live AI system through formal EU AI Act risk classification.

If you're regulated, this is the bar you need. If you're not, it's the bar you deserve.

What you get

AI Operations Assessment

From2,500+ VATFixed price, agreed before we start · ten working days

A structured assessment that finds where AI genuinely pays across your business. What new services it opens. Where your clients' experience improves. Which processes to redesign, which to automate, and which to retire. And the honest call on each opportunity: what is worth building, and what is better bought. You get a ranked opportunity map and an implementation roadmap with costs and timelines, presented in a 60-minute walkthrough and a written report ready to share with your team or your board.

1
Pre-assessment survey
Captures your processes, tools, and pain points so the discovery session focuses on what matters.
2
Guided discovery session
A targeted conversation shaped by your responses, not a generic checklist.
3
Process and opportunity analysis
Which processes to redesign, which to automate, and which to retire. Plus where AI opens approaches that weren't possible before.
4
AI opportunity map
Ranked recommendations matched to your priorities.
5
Implementation roadmap
What to do first, what it costs, how long it takes.
6
Presentation and full report
A 60-minute walkthrough plus a written report to share with your team.
Our commitment

We take an assessment on only when we are confident the opportunities it finds will be worth many multiples of the fee. If we do not believe that after the first call, we will say so plainly, and the call costs nothing.

No obligation, no hard sell.

And we don't stop at the report.

The assessment gives you a roadmap you can act on with anyone. If you want, we then build the solutions on it ourselves, priced per outcome rather than per hour, and you own what we build for you. Most consultancies hand over a deck. We deploy.

Your data stays in your environment. We review processes, we don't extract data. Every engagement is covered by a formal service agreement.

2
Survey and discovery (days 1 to 3)
Structured questionnaire, then a focused session built around your answers.
3
Analysis (days 4 to 8)
We rethink your processes for an AI world rather than just automating what exists. Some are worth automating, some redesigning, some retiring. Then we build your roadmap.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Regulated and professional-services businesses in Ireland: advisory, insurance, accounting, legal, and firms like them. The method is built around operational complexity and the standard is built for regulated environments, so if that is your world, this was designed for you. If your business is outside those sectors, talk to us anyway. The approach travels well.

Because we would want to know too. The fee is fixed and agreed before we start, and there is no meter running. Consultancies that quote after four meetings are pricing the sale, not the work.

You get a prioritised roadmap of AI opportunities with estimated costs and timelines. Some businesses implement independently using the roadmap. Others ask us to build the solutions. There is no obligation either way.

We review your processes and workflows. We do not extract, store, or process your business data. Everything stays in your environment. Each engagement is covered by a formal service agreement.

We take an assessment on only when we are confident the opportunities it finds will be worth many multiples of the fee. That is what the free call is for. If we do not believe it after that conversation, we will say so plainly and not take the engagement.

Our team combines COO and CFO experience in financial services, governance and data protection from inside a regulated industry, and hands-on AI implementation. We have sat in the operational roles where these problems live.

Only inside rules set in advance. We use a tiered routing framework: classify the data, classify the tool, and route only what the tier allows, with pseudonymisation where required. General-purpose chatbots sit at the most restricted tier. Most businesses that get this wrong never actually made a decision, and that is the real risk.

Every system we build is logged on a register with a named owner, a risk level, and human approval wherever the output matters. Alongside that, we build quarterly regulatory monitoring covering the EU rules that affect your business, including the EU AI Act. Compliance is maintained on a cycle rather than assumed.

Who this is for

Made for businesses like yours.

Regulated and professional-services businesses in Ireland: advisory, insurance, accounting, legal, and firms like them. If your systems don't talk to each other, if your people spend their days on work that doesn't need them, or if you know AI could open something new but you can't risk getting it wrong, this was designed for you. And if your business is outside those sectors, talk to us anyway. The approach travels well.

One more honest observation. The gap between businesses that deploy AI well and businesses that don't is already visible, and it compounds. Moving early is an advantage. Waiting is a decision too.
