Decide what to build
Pick the ideas worth your time, then check that they pay for themselves.
Choose and budget
Match a model to the job and see what it will cost to run.
- AI build vs buy decision toolAnswer eight questions to see whether to buy, blend, or build, and why.
- LLM model chooserPick your task, priority, and input size to get a shortlist of models with estimated costs.
- LLM model comparisonCompare Claude, GPT, and Gemini side by side on price, context window, and cost for your workload.
- Context window checkerDescribe your documents by pages, slides, or transcript hours and see which models they fit in.
- LLM token counterPaste text to estimate its tokens, see which models it fits in, and what a request would cost.
- LLM API cost calculatorEstimate monthly Claude, GPT, and Gemini costs from your volume and token counts.
Set the rules
Agree what people can and can’t do with AI before they start.
- AI data sharing checkerPick the data and the kind of AI tool to see if it's fine, needs approval, or should stay out.
- AI acceptable use policy generatorAnswer a few questions about tools, data, and review, then copy a ready-to-edit policy.
- AI human review matrixSet how much human review each AI output needs, from a self-check to expert sign-off.
- AI vendor questionnaire generatorSay what the vendor touches to get a tailored list of security, data, and contract questions.
Roll it out
Get the teams that own your systems on board, then run a pilot.
- AI rollout plan generatorGet a timeline and a brief for the security, network, and enterprise apps teams, ready to copy.
- AI pilot success metrics builderSet the baseline, target, and a scale, fix, or stop rule before the pilot begins.
- AI training plan generatorChoose the roles in your rollout to get modules, timing, and champions for each group.
- AI launch readiness checklistCheck off the approvals, data rules, people, and safeguards to clear before your pilot starts.
- AI rollout announcement writerDraft the message that tells staff what's changing, with likely questions and answers.
