Most AI consulting starts with a strategy deck. Ours starts with what your staff are already doing. In most companies, employees adopted ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude or Gemini months ago, usually on personal accounts and without rules. Consulting that ignores that reality builds on sand.
Our sequence is:
Because Vital also runs managed IT and cybersecurity, the people advising you on AI understand the systems AI connects to: your email, file storage, line-of-business software and network.
Which assistant fits your company depends on the software you already use, the data you handle and your compliance obligations. We compare options on security terms, data handling, cost and fit, then set up the one you choose with business accounts instead of personal ones. For a plain-language overview of one option, see Claude in plain English.
Copilot can see whatever the user can see in Microsoft 365. If file permissions are loose, AI will surface documents people were never meant to read. We clean up permissions and sharing before AI is switched on. See Microsoft 365 support.
We work with your team to find the repetitive work AI handles well: drafting routine correspondence, summarizing long documents, first drafts of proposals, internal knowledge search, meeting summaries and data cleanup. Each use case is checked against your data rules before rollout.
AI output improves when it knows your business. We help teams build reusable context files and prompt standards so results are consistent and on-brand. See build an AI context file.
Through Let's Multiply Group, companies ready to go further get AI strategy and implementation, sales and revenue systems, and leadership coaching, built on the secure foundation Vital puts in place.
Every engagement includes the guardrails: AI acceptable-use policy, shadow AI detection, data classification, staff training and AI vendor review. See AI compliance and governance.
We work best with Lafayette and Baton Rouge companies of roughly 10 to 200 employees that do not have a dedicated AI team: professional services firms, CPA firms, medical and dental practices, law firms, banks and credit unions, engineering firms, and oil and gas service companies. Owners and managers who want AI to pay for itself, without becoming the next breach story, are our best fit.
Weeks 1-2: Assess. The AI Risk Score, an AI tool inventory and interviews with key staff about where time goes.
Weeks 2-4: Govern. Written policy, data classification, business accounts set up for approved tools and staff training.
Weeks 4 and on: Build. Two or three high-value use cases rolled out, measured and refined, then the next set.
Timing depends on company size and how much is already in place. We confirm the schedule after the assessment.
