AI consulting by Factorial.io
We show you where AI pays off.
In three weeks, you’ll know where AI saves you time or money and where another solution works better. You walk away with a clear recommendation, so you can make a decision right away.

Your benefits
You know where your investment pays off and how to get there.
A plan instead of a pile of ideas
You see where AI fits in your company, where it doesn’t, and where to start. You walk away with a roadmap and clear next steps.
Time for the work that matters
You see where AI or automation can take routine work off your teams’ plates, leaving more time for customers and products.
Clarity before you invest
You know which investments will pay off. And just as importantly, which ones won’t.
Data ready for AI
You know whether your data is fit for AI before you spend any money. That way, no project fails because of the data.
Three AI Impact packages
Three steps to AI adoption in your company.
Choose the package that fits your situation. The packages build on each other, and each one includes everything from the previous one. If you book the next package within 60 days, we’ll credit the full amount you’ve already paid.

Who we are
We turn your business goals into tech reality.
Factorial.io is a founder-led software agency based in Hamburg. Since 2015, we’ve grown to around 60 experts who build and run digital ecosystems for clients including Boehringer Ingelheim, Finstral and Occhio.
For us, AI is a tool, not a solution. We use it where it delivers more than classic automation, an integration or an off-the-shelf product. Your data stays with you, and you’re free to choose your AI model. Technology should be independent and empower the people who make a company what it is.
