# Abatetech AI — AI that earns its keep

Practical AI strategy, training, and automation for nonprofits and small
businesses in Connecticut. No hype. No black boxes. Human judgment stays in
charge.

**Credential:** Claude Certified Associate – Foundations (Anthropic).
Serving Connecticut nonprofits since 2003. Vendor-neutral across Copilot,
Claude & OpenAI.

## Where most clients start: AI Enablement — $3,000 flat

- Discovery session + written AI roadmap
- AI acceptable use policy, drafted for you
- Staff training session
- One platform set up properly — Claude, Copilot, or ChatGPT

**Not included:** custom automation, IT remediation, software subscriptions,
ongoing support. Those are scoped and quoted separately — we'd rather you know
that now. Full breakdown: https://abatetech.ai/ai-enablement

## The starting point

Most organizations are in one of two places: ignoring AI entirely, or a few
employees quietly pasting company data into free tools with zero oversight.
The first group is falling behind. The second is creating security and
compliance risks it can't see. We take organizations from "we should probably
do something about AI" to a real strategy, trained employees, secure tooling,
and automation that gives your team capacity it didn't have before.

## Five ways we put AI to work

1. **AI Strategy & Assessment** — workflow mapping, opportunity scoring, tool selection, roadmap & budget
2. **Training & Enablement** — role-specific training, verification habits, security boundaries
3. **Platform Deployment** — Copilot, Claude, OpenAI as enterprise tools with proper data handling
4. **Automation & AI Agents** — purpose-built agents and workflows with human checkpoints
5. **Policy & Governance** — acceptable use policy, data classification, vendor evaluation

## How an engagement runs

Policy before tools. Training before automation.

1. Discovery
2. Assessment & roadmap
3. Policy & foundation
4. Training
5. Build & deploy
6. Iterate & expand

## What we don't do

- Custom model training or fine-tuning
- Unsupervised customer-facing AI
- Replacing human judgment in legal, financial, medical, or personnel matters
- Promising magic
