Pillar 03 · Advisory · Consultation only
A clear, defensible AI roadmap.
Senior, independent AI advice for founders and operators. We help you decide what to automate, in what order, and whether to build or buy. Then you choose who executes. We do not build it for you, and that is exactly the point.
Engagement
Fixed-scope sprint
Length
4 to 8 weeks
Built for
Founders, CEOs, COOs
Boundary
Consultation only
The boundary
We advise. You choose who builds.
Most AI consultancies sell you a roadmap and then sell you the build. The incentive is to recommend more work, not the right work. We made a deliberate choice not to do that. MagicWorks AI Consultation is consultation only. We run the workshop, audit your processes, and design the roadmap. When you are ready to execute, the choice is entirely yours: your own team, an external vendor, or one of our sibling products. That independence is what makes our advice worth paying for.
No bundling, ever
Execution, when you want it, runs through MagicFlow AI, Magic Pipeline, or your chosen partner, always under a separate and clean engagement. You never pay us to recommend ourselves.
How we engage
Four ways in. One honest direction.
Most clients start with a workshop and move to the audit. Some come straight for the audit. The embedded advisor is a follow-on for teams already executing a roadmap.
The flagship
AI Process Audit & Roadmap
A fixed-scope sprint that maps your processes, finds the highest-value automation opportunities, and returns a prioritised, build-or-buy roadmap you can act on with any partner. The deliverable is a decision, not a sales pitch.
Usual entry point
AI Literacy Workshop
One to three days to get your leadership team fluent and aligned on what AI can and cannot do for your business. The most common way clients begin.

Vendor & Build-vs-Buy Sprint
A focused, fixed-fee engagement to evaluate vendors or decide whether to build, buy, or wait on a specific AI initiative. Clear recommendation, clear reasoning.
Learn more →Follow-on only
Embedded AI Advisor
An ongoing advisory retainer for teams executing a roadmap who want senior judgment on call. A follow-on engagement, never a starting point.
Learn more →Where we focus
Depth in two sectors.
AI advice is only as good as the understanding behind it. We concentrate where we know the processes well enough to have a real opinion.
Manufacturing
Mid-market manufacturers, roughly ₹100 to ₹500 Cr in revenue, with clean processes and an appetite to lead rather than follow. An under-served market in India where the right AI roadmap becomes a durable advantage.
Professional Services
CA, law, consulting, and advisory firms with 50 or more professionals. Process-rich, founder-led, and uniquely able to refer: trusted advisors who trust our judgment tend to introduce us to others.
Who this is for
Best for leaders who want direction, not a sales pitch.
A strong fit
- A founder, CEO, COO, or CXO who wants honest direction before spending on a build.
- Willing to invest in getting the strategy right first, then execute with the partner of your choice.
- Has real processes worth examining, in manufacturing or professional services especially.
- Open to involving the people who actually run those processes day to day.
Not a fit
- Wanting us to build and run the AI for you. That is a separate engagement with a separate brand.
- Looking for a quick stamp of approval on a decision already made.
- Expecting a tool recommendation without examining the underlying process.
- Unwilling to share how the business actually works.
