AI Executive Retainer

You don't need an AI strategy deck. You need an AI partner.

JemX gives you a dedicated AI partner, a tangible deliverable every month, and the advisory access to make confident AI decisions — without hiring a full-time team.

You know AI matters. You just don't know where to start.

Getting internal buy-in is hard. Prioritising a roadmap is harder. And most AI consultants leave you with a strategy deck and a handshake. The AI Executive Retainer is different.

What you've tried

  • Committing budget to dev work that isn't clearly defined
  • Internal experiments that fizzle out
  • Strategy decks that gather dust

What's different here

  • You're buying access to us and a guaranteed outcome each month
  • Not committing to a vague development backlog
  • A trusted partner who knows your business and solves a real problem every month

Every month, something works.

You choose the problem. We scope it, build it, and deliver it. You look like an AI superstar.

What you get. Every month.

Four things that compound over time into genuine AI transformation.

01

Monthly development sprint

One focused problem solved every month. You choose what gets built — an automation, a dashboard, a workflow, an AI tool. Scoped and delivered in days, not weeks.

02

Advisory access

A direct line to us via WhatsApp. Tool evaluation, vendor questions, "should we do X?" decisions. Async, not on-demand — so it stays useful, not overwhelming.

03

AI-native coaching

We help you become AI-native as a person and as an organisation. Prioritising initiatives, avoiding wasted spend, building internal buy-in — the piece most executives struggle with.

04

Your AI champion

When you need to make the case to the board or the CFO, you've got JemX backing you with data and credibility. We're in your corner.
