AI consulting · Perth, Western Australia

AI consulting for small businesses in Perth and across Australia.

Most small businesses don't need an AI strategy deck. They need to know which two or three jobs are worth handing to AI and what that will cost. Transcend AI Partners is a Perth consultancy that works that out with you, prices it before work starts, and then builds it: workflow automation, AI agents, voice, chatbots and vision systems that plug into the systems you already run. Larger organisations get the same approach, scoped to their size.

Founder-led, onshore, hands-on.

You deal directly with Ash Shilkin, who founded and took a company public on the ASX before building Transcend. No account managers, no offshore handoffs, no junior bench learning on your invoice.

We advise on strategy, but every recommendation is written by the person who has to build it. That keeps the advice honest: if a workflow will not pay back, we say so before you spend money.

What an engagement looks like.

  1. Pick the right work. We talk to the people doing the work and find the tasks where AI saves real hours, and the ones where it won't.
  2. Fixed-price AI Review, from $4,900. Two to four staff interviews, your workflows mapped, and a written proposal with each automation priced. See how the AI Review works.
  3. Build one workflow at a time. Each workflow is quoted in writing before any build starts, so you can start small and add more once the first one pays its way. See workflow automation.
  4. Train the team. Hands-on sessions on Claude or ChatGPT, from $1,000 for the room. See AI training.
01

AI Reviews, from $4,900

A fixed-price review of your business: staff interviews, workflow mapping, technical scoping, and a priced proposal. You know exactly what you are getting before you commit.

02

Workflow automation

Approvals, handoffs, reporting, and orchestration across your existing systems. Built for reliability, because when these break, real work stops.

03

AI agents

Agents that handle scheduling, follow-ups, research, triage, and reporting, with guardrails and human approval where decisions matter.

04

Voice and chatbots

Conversational AI that sounds like a person, for customer service, intake, booking, and internal operations.

05

Vision and documents

Image analysis, document understanding, OCR, classification, and real-time video turned into structured data your systems can act on.

06

Governance and data boundaries

Least-privilege access, audit logging, and human checkpoints, designed with board review, audit needs, and privacy obligations in mind.

Perth and Australian businesses we work with

We work across capital markets, tax accounting, corporate taxation, mining operators, mortgage broking, marketing, ERP systems, agriculture and farming, civil engineering, and environment services. Client names stay confidential; that discretion is part of the service.

Straight answers before you book.

  1. What does it cost? AI Reviews start at $4,900 fixed for a small-to-medium business (two to four staff interviews). Larger organisations are scoped individually. Implementation is quoted per workflow, in writing, before any build starts.
  2. Do you only work in Perth? Based in West Perth, delivering across Australia. Most work runs remotely, with on-site sessions where they help.
  3. Which AI platforms? OpenAI and Claude, chosen per workflow, plus open-source models where they fit better. If a platform is the wrong fit, we say so before you spend.
  4. Will you rebuild our systems? No. We extend your CRM, ERP, and internal systems; they stay where they are.

Thirty minutes, no pitch deck. Bring a workflow that annoys you.

We will tell you whether AI can fix it, roughly what it would cost, and whether it is worth doing. If it is not, you will hear that too.
