AI consulting for owner-led businesses (10–100 employees)

Fix the Workflow That's Costing Your Team the Most Time

Mako Core works with owner-led businesses to find where manual work, scattered knowledge, and slow follow-up are costing you time — then builds the right fix, from a simple automation to a private AI appliance you can rent or own.

Owner-Led Businesses Need Practical AI Before More Tools

Your team does not need another random chatbot experiment. Start by finding the workflow where AI can save time, protect knowledge, or improve follow-up — then build the right solution.

  • AI experiments are scattered

    Many owner-led businesses try random AI tools before they know which workflow is worth improving.

  • Knowledge trapped in people and documents

    Answers live across folders, inboxes, notes, and staff memory instead of one private AI layer.

  • Private data needs clear rules

    Customer records, estimates, procedures, and internal documents need rules for what stays private and what can use outside AI.

  • Workflow friction

    Approvals, intake, handoffs, and reporting still depend on manual follow-up.

  • No company memory layer

    The business learns every day, but that knowledge rarely compounds into a usable system.

  • No clear AI path

    Businesses need a practical path from workflow review to first pilot before they commit to bigger systems.

AI Consulting First. Private AI Appliances When They Fit.

Start with the workflow, prove the value with a pilot, then move into a private AI appliance when ownership, privacy, or long-term control matter.

  • Free first step

    Free AI Opportunity Call

    A short call to understand your business and see whether there is a practical AI opportunity worth exploring.

  • AI Workflow Review

    We map workflows, company knowledge, software, privacy needs, and the first use case worth improving.

  • Implementation Pilot

    We build the first useful solution: automation, document search, intake, reporting, follow-up, or an internal assistant.

  • Private AI Appliance

    Our top service: rent or buy a private AI appliance with company knowledge, custom AI brains, and managed support.

  • Managed AI Support

    Ongoing updates, monitoring, training, workflow improvements, integrations, and new custom AI brains over time.

Built for offices that need privacy

Private AI for offices where your data, your clients, and your workflows cannot live only in someone else's cloud.

Product #1 — Medical Scribe

Doctor offices

Our first product is medical scribe software clinicians use on their phone in the office — ambient capture, structured notes, and workflow fit for independent practices. Pair it with a private AI appliance when privacy and control matter.

Private firm knowledge

Law firms

Law firms need secure access to precedents, matter files, and internal know-how without sending everything to the public cloud. A Mako Core appliance keeps sensitive work local while still connecting to the tools your team already uses.

AI Workflow Review

After the free AI Opportunity Call, the paid review maps your workflows, bottlenecks, company knowledge, privacy needs, and first practical AI pilot.

  • 1

    Workflow and knowledge map

    We document key workflows, systems, documents, handoffs, and where company knowledge lives.

  • 2

    Privacy and AI options

    We identify what should stay private, what can use approved cloud AI, and where humans should approve the work.

  • 3

    Right-sized recommendation

    You get a clear next step: simple automation, implementation pilot, private cloud, appliance, or no-build recommendation.

  • 4

    First pilot plan

    We define the smallest useful AI solution to build first, with appliance or custom AI brains only when they make sense.

How It Works

Start with consulting and a practical pilot. Move into a private AI appliance only when the business case is clear.

  1. 1

    Free AI Opportunity Call

    We learn the business and decide whether there is a real AI opportunity worth exploring.

  2. 2

    Workflow review

    We map workflows, tools, knowledge sources, privacy needs, and where AI could help first.

  3. 3

    Pilot plan

    You get a clear recommendation: automation, assistant, private cloud, appliance, or not ready yet.

  4. 4

    Implement

    We build the first useful solution, connect approved tools and documents, and test it with your team.

  5. 5

    Expand

    If the pilot proves value, we add workflows, custom AI brains, support, or a private AI appliance.

Why Mako Core

We help owner-led businesses use AI in practical ways first, then move into private AI appliances when ownership, privacy, or scale make it worthwhile.

  • Private by design

    Your appliance can keep sensitive knowledge under your control while still using outside AI tools when appropriate.

  • Custom AI brains

    We choose and configure the right AI brain for the job instead of forcing one model to do everything.

  • Company knowledge layer

    Documents, procedures, and institutional memory become something employees can safely ask and use.

  • Built around existing systems

    We integrate with the software you already use instead of forcing a rip-and-replace project.

  • Appliance when it fits

    We do not force the appliance. We recommend it when privacy, ownership, company knowledge, or long-term control justify it.

The Private AI Business Operating System

Mako Core starts with consulting, workflow reviews, and practical AI pilots, then evolves toward a full operating system: private AI appliances, custom AI brains, company knowledge, workflow automation, secure integrations, monitoring, and AI assistants — including an Agent Board for role-based guidance inside the business.

Today we start with one useful workflow and real market conversations. Tomorrow, that foundation becomes the system your business knowledge and operations run on.

Start with a Free AI Opportunity Call

We'll take a quick look at your workflows, company knowledge, and privacy needs. If there is a real fit, we'll recommend the right next step: workflow review, pilot, automation, private cloud, or private AI appliance.

No deep homework before the first call. We only recommend an appliance when it clearly creates more value than a simpler AI pilot.
