What we hear

Sound familiar?

These are the questions we hear every day. You're not alone — and there are good answers.

“Where do we even start with AI?”

New tools launch every week. Your team is overwhelmed by options and paralysed by choice. You need a clear starting point, not more noise.

“We don't have time to experiment.”

You're running a business, not a research lab. Every hour on the wrong tool is an hour lost. You need guidance that respects your time.

“What about compliance and risk?”

GDPR, the EU AI Act, data governance — the landscape is shifting. You need AI adoption that's compliant from day one, not an afterthought.

Who we are

Two co-founders. Decades of operations and engineering.

What we've built

Two products. Both shipping.

The kind of work you get inside an engagement. We don't sell slideware.

righttostay.ie SAMPLE
Can my landlord raise rent by 10% in one year?
Plain-English answer

In a Rent Pressure Zone, no. Rent reviews are capped — currently at 2% per year or inflation, whichever is lower.

Sourced from TR0224-005678 and 14 related decisions

righttostay

A free, plain-language tool for anyone renting in Ireland. Ask a question, get an answer grounded in real RTB Tribunal decisions. Translated into 14 languages so it reaches the people who actually need it.

How we work

Compliance, handled in the background.

Regulation shouldn't slow you down. We build compliance into every recommendation so you can move fast — and stay safe.

GDPR

General Data Protection Regulation

We ensure your AI tools handle personal data correctly — consent management, data minimisation, and privacy by design built into every workflow.

AML/KYC

Anti-Money Laundering & Know Your Customer

For financial services and regulated industries, we design AI solutions that enhance compliance processes without creating new risk.

NIS2

Network & Information Security Directive

We help you meet the EU's cybersecurity requirements, ensuring your AI infrastructure and data pipelines are secure and resilient.

EU AI Act

EU Artificial Intelligence Act

We classify your AI use cases by risk level and ensure your implementations meet the EU's new requirements before they're enforced.

Compliance is on our checklist for every engagement. Talk it through →
