AI operations partner for businesses that are done with hype
We run your AI operations for you. You run the business. Hexis is the AI operations partner that diagnoses real problems and applies the right tools from a portfolio you can own.
You tell us where the friction is. We fix it with process, data, automation, and AI only where intelligence belongs. We are not the AI hype train, and we are not a three-hour tire-kicker shop.
What an AI operations partner actually does
An AI operations partner sits inside the work of the business. We map how value moves from customer inquiry to delivery, connect that map to company data, and only then decide where software, automation, or models create leverage.
Consequently, we do not start by asking which model is trending. We start by asking where the process is broken and whether intelligence belongs there at all. For background on why pilots stall, see McKinsey’s public AI research.
Riley Flaherty and Robert bring practitioner and research depth so recommendations stay technically feasible. Wisconsin practicality is not branding. It is how we filter nonsense.
- Process first, data second, action third
- Client-owned and composable designs where possible
- Anti vendor lock-in and data portability
- Honest no when agents or tools do not fit
Same outcome. Different depth.
Clients pick where we sit on the totem pole. The destination is a system that works. The depth is what you already have in-house.
You have a development staff
We are the AI operations partner beside your team. Architecture, process, data, and AI placement without replacing the people who already ship.
You have little or no technical bench
We operate as fractional AI leadership and fractional CTO depth. We engage outside developers when the work needs more hands.
Someone else left a mess
We come in to stabilize fragile workflows, vibe-coded apps, and half-finished “transformations” that never connected to the business.
You want a second set of eyes
Selective advisory. Honest second opinions on vendors, roadmaps, and whether a proposed agent should exist at all.
How we price the relationship (without a public rate card)
We are reasonable for serious small and medium businesses. We are not cheap, and we are not all things to all people. We do not take one-off three-hour consulting gigs unless it is a deliberate relationship play for future work.
Selectivity protects both sides. If you want transformation theater, we will filter ourselves out. If you want an AI operations partner with skin in durable outcomes, keep reading and then talk to us.

Learn more →Messaging we will not water down
Open source in manufacturing is feasible, and we can help. Ownership, cheaper hardware, and less forced obsolescence matter when vendor cycles squeeze operators.
Tokens get more expensive and models rotate. Do not lock your company into a single proprietary ecosystem if you can stay model-agnostic.
We can leverage open technology without sending your data to China when supply-chain security requires that stance.
If your current IT company cannot help with AI and still bills like they own the future, get a better partner. We want that work when the fit is real.
Free tools such as the inbox triage agent are free for Hexis customers. Paid transformation work is still selective. Manufacturers often start with AI on the shop floor, hexis PLC, or on-site inference.
