Make AI work
for your business.
Parsons AI is a San Diego AI consultancy. We figure out what AI can actually do for your business — then build it, or guide your team to. No hype, no guesswork.
The gap
Everyone's telling you to “use AI.”
Almost nobody tells you what's actually worth doing — or builds it with you.
That's the gap we fill.
What Parsons AI is
One engineer. Three ways we work.
It started as AI consulting. It grew into a cloud product and government work — same hands, same standard, three doors in.
Consulting
Figure out what's worth doing — then build it.
Paid AI assessments and custom builds for small and mid-sized businesses. We tell you the truth about where AI fits, then do the work.

AI and software for the public sector.
Practical AI, automation, and custom software for government teams — delivered by an engineer who builds the systems, with the rigor the public sector requires.
Government workNew — Parsons Cloud
The consulting work, productized.
Parsons Cloud is a suite of AI-native apps — money, CRM, journaling, music, and more — running on a platform we built and run ourselves: authentication, payments, storage, notifications, and an AI gateway. Use the apps, or build on the platform.
Inside the platform
- AI gateway — one API, metered
- Auth & multi-tenant identity
- Payments & billing
- Storage & databases
- Notifications & scheduling
Consulting, in detail
Two ways to work together.
Most engagements start with the first and lead into the second. A consulting engagement that stands alone is a real, useful outcome on its own.
AI Assessment & Strategy
A focused, paid engagement. We look at how your business actually runs, then tell you exactly where AI will save time or money — and, just as honestly, where it won't.
Custom Builds
Once we know what's worth doing, we build it — automations, internal tools, integrations, AI assistants — or scope it cleanly and guide your own team through it.
The process
How it works
No vague retainers or 40-page proposals. A clear, three-step path.
Assess
We dig into your workflows, tools, and pain points — a paid discovery engagement, not a sales call.
Recommend
You get a clear, prioritized plan: what to do, what it costs, what it returns, and what to skip.
Build or hand off
We build what we recommended — or scope it and guide your team. Your call, either way.
If AI can't earn its cost, we don't build it.
A “no” is a real answer.
Our manifesto
Capabilities
What we can build for you.
Practical, lower-risk AI work for small and mid-sized businesses — the kind that pays for itself.
Workflow automation
Quoting, scheduling, data entry, follow-ups — the repetitive work, cut down to a fraction of the time. The most common starting point for a build.
Document & data processing
PDFs, forms, and spreadsheets → structured data.
AI assistants on your data
Trained on your documents and processes — not generic answers.
System integration
Connect the tools you already pay for so they stop creating busywork.
Who you're hiring
Built by an engineer, not a sales team.
Parsons AI is led by Mike Parsons — a software engineer and data scientist who builds the systems, not just slide decks about them. When you hire Parsons AI, you work directly with the person doing the work.
