An Irish AI consultancy, built on a decade of delivery

We help businesses across Ireland and the UK work out where AI genuinely pays back, then build it. The same people who write the recommendation deliver the work.

Who we are

AI Consulting Services is an AI consultancy working with established businesses and ambitious SMEs across Ireland and the UK.

We do two things that usually sit in separate companies. We advise on where AI fits, and we build it. Most firms do one or the other, which is why so many AI roadmaps are written by people who never have to deliver them.

Our work covers AI strategy, readiness assessments, automation and agents, system integration, governance and training. What stays constant is the starting point: your business and what’s slowing it down, not the technology.

Where we come from

Where we come from

We’re a trading name of Smart Stats Limited, part of the Square Root Solutions group.

That matters for one reason. A new brand with no track record is a fair thing to question. Behind this one is a decade of building software and AI products, 350+ projects delivered, and a team of 150+ engineers, designers and strategists.

The group’s story starts with a fix. Before the company existed, CEO Ciarán Stone and co-founder Raza Noorani rebuilt The Clubman, a GAA app that reached number one on Ireland’s sports app charts, after an earlier outsourced build had failed.

That instinct hasn’t changed: understand how an organisation actually works before writing a line of code. AI Consulting Services exists because AI work had outgrown being one service line among many. It needed its own focus and its own standards. The experience came with it.

What we believe

People first

Every system we build is designed around the people who use it, with usability and accessibility considered from the start.

Responsible AI

As one of Ireland’s first companies to achieve ISO 42001:2023 certification, we follow an internationally recognised framework for responsible AI, with safety, transparency and accountability built in.

Outcomes over output

We measure success by the impact the work creates, not the features delivered.

Partners, not vendors

We work alongside your team from first conversation through delivery and beyond.

Independent of every vendor

We don’t resell any AI platform. What we recommend is what fits, not what carries a margin.

We say when the answer is no

Sometimes the right advice is that you’re not ready, or that AI isn’t the lever. You keep the analysis either way.

Certified, not self-declared

We are one of Ireland’s first companies to achieve ISO 42001:2023 certification, the globally recognised AI governance standard, alongside ISO 27001:2022 for information security.

Both were independently audited. We went through the risk assessments, the oversight procedures, the documentation and the evidence requirements ourselves.

That matters when we advise on governance, because we know what an auditor actually asks to see. GDPR compliance is built into how we architect systems rather than added at the end, and client data is processed in the EU and never used to train public models.
