AI Consulting & Strategy for Business | Redpine Research
Strategic guidance for AI adoption — practical, balanced, and built for your business
Redpine Research helps businesses cut through the AI hype to find real opportunities. We combine deep technical expertise with practical business sense to deliver strategies that actually work—whether that means adopting AI, improving your existing systems, or both.
Our Approach
Technology that works for your business, not the other way around
The pressure to adopt AI is real. Everyone's talking about agents, automation, and transformation. But most businesses don't need AI evangelism—they need honest guidance about where it actually helps.
We start by understanding how your business works today: your processes, your people, your problems. Then we help you find the right solutions—whether that's an AI agent handling customer inquiries, a traditional database solving a data quality issue, or a new workflow that combines both.
AI is genuinely transformational when applied thoughtfully. Agentic systems can automate complex reasoning, not just repetitive tasks. Generative AI can handle unstructured work that was impossible to automate before. These capabilities change what's possible—but they don't change the fundamentals of good business technology.
Our commitment is simple: We recommend AI where it creates real value and traditional approaches where they're still the best fit. You get a clear-eyed assessment, practical roadmaps, and guidance from people who've built systems that actually work.
What We Deliver
We guide you through the full journey—from identifying opportunities to building roadmaps to implementation. Most engagements start with our timeboxed discovery process, which produces a clear evaluation of where AI (and traditional software) can drive value. From there, we help you prepare your organization, design the right solutions, and chart a path forward.
Discovery
Succeed with AI by asking the right questions—and picking the right problems. We help you explore how your business works, spot hidden inefficiencies, and uncover the places where AI can create real impact. Our timeboxed discovery engagement delivers solution concepts, evaluation criteria, and a prioritized roadmap you can act on immediately.
Readiness
Lay the groundwork for effective, secure, and compliant AI adoption. We help you build strong data practices, establish governance frameworks, select the right tools and platforms, and prepare your team for new ways of working.
Design
Design AI solutions that fit your business—and your people. We tailor agents and workflows to match how you actually work, ensuring systems scale with your needs and integrate with your existing technology landscape.
Strategy
Look beyond the quick wins. Make the most of today's technology—and stay ready for what's next. We help you envision a business powered by AI agents, generative workflows, and agentic systems, with a roadmap that balances immediate value and long-term transformation.
Build
We develop custom agents and AI-enabled business systems—CRMs, PRMs, configurators, internal tools—both directly and through our network of trusted implementation partners. Already have a vendor relationship? We're happy to work with your existing team, providing the strategic direction and technical guidance they need to get started. Whether you need hands-on development, connections to the right team, or support for your current partners, we help you move from roadmap to reality.
Who We Work With
We work with small-to-midsize businesses that are ready to move beyond headlines and hype. You might still be wrestling with the fundamental question: "Should we pursue AI?" That's exactly what our discovery engagement is designed to answer. We paint a picture of what your business could look like if you prepare for and incorporate AI-enabled systems into your operations. Some businesses won't be in a position to benefit from investments in Agents and AI automation yet, and we'll tell you that. The engagement is timeboxed, low-commitment, and gives you a clear-eyed view of your options without locking you into anything.
You might be a founder who sees AI's potential but needs help separating signal from noise. Or a VP leading a team that's tried a few pilots and now needs a coherent strategy. Or a growing company that knows its current systems won't scale and wants to build the right foundation.
You're a good fit if:
- You want thoughtful implementation over quick wins
- You're willing to examine and potentially change how your business operates
- You have quality data—or you're ready to improve it
- You value technical depth presented in business terms

- Connections to trusted implementation partners when you're ready to build
- Long-term thinking about where AI is heading and how to position your business for what's next
