Artificial Intelligence
HI Technology & Innovation ensures AI delivers clear, tangible value to your business. Whether you’re just starting to explore AI or assessing its impact but struggling to bridge the gap between hype and real results, our experts bring a deep understanding of the technology and how to apply it to solve business challenges, drive efficiency gains, and enhance performance.
Custom AI Software
Streamline operations, reduce manual tasks, and optimise workflows with custom-built AI software designed and built by our dedicated engineering team. We focus on innovation, while your core team continues focusing on the day-to-day.
AI App Integration
Our engineers assess your current apps and either enhance your existing automations or look at how to integrate AI to enhance performance. We provide a dedicated, fully integrated and managed engineering team to improve your applications.
AI Advisory
Thinking about AI but not sure how it adds real value? We provide CTO-level advisory to help you figure out where it can make the biggest difference and guide you on how to get started in a way that fits your business and where you’re at right now.
Let’s get started, what do you need help with?
AI innovation doesn’t have to wait. With over half of all CTOs not hiring full-time AI talent, we offer a smarter way to build AI capabilities.
AI Expertise without the overhead with a flexible and budget-friendly approach
Managing AI talent when you’re not an AI expert yourself can be challenging. With 44% of CTOs leading small AI teams of 1-5 members, our fully managed services provide the experience and support you need to guide your initiatives with confidence.
AI budgets are often small—19.8% of companies allocate less than 5% of their tech budget to AI. We maximise every dollar with high-ROI solutions like cloud-based AI services and automation tools, ensuring measurable results without overspending.

AI-Powered Automation
Streamline your operations with intelligent automation. Our AI solutions reduce manual tasks, optimise workflows, and increase productivity—all without costly overheads. Whether you have a small AI budget or need to demonstrate ROI to stakeholders, automation is a proven first step.
Predictive Analytics & Insights
Make smarter business decisions with predictive analytics. Our AI models analyse your data to uncover actionable insights and forecast future trends. Even with limited AI talent in-house, our team provides expert guidance to ensure successful implementation.

-
HI’s engagement model is tangibly different. We were impressed by how proactive their team was at all levels with high velocity, easy reviews and an ability to avoid issues before they happened. The ethos, expertise and commitment of the HI team meant this really felt like a relationship, not just a supplier arrangement.

The team at HI enabled Lightfoot to rapidly scale development with minimal support from internal dev resources. They led well-controlled stakeholder engagement to capture product requirements, applying extensive technical experience to shape the solutions, whilst maintaining consideration of other business criteria such as budget. Agile projects were then run by the HI project and development teams, with stakeholder reviews along the way. A secondary benefit was working with them to improve internal development and DevOps workflows.
