Who we are
An AI consultancy that ships.
Founded in 2018. Built on the belief that AI consulting should leave clients more capable, not more dependent.

About alien.fi
WE LEAVE
CLIENTS MORE
CAPABLE.
The best consultancies make themselves unnecessary. We strategize, build, and operate AI — then hand you the keys, the documentation, and the team that can run it.
Why we exist
THE MISSION

Most AI consulting creates dependency. A vendor ships a black box, bills a retainer, and keeps the knowledge. We think that's backwards.

alien.fi exists to bring measurable, defensible AI into complex organizations — and to leave behind teams that can maintain and extend it. We staff small, senior teams. We tie our fees to outcomes. We document everything. And when a client is ready to run AI themselves, we celebrate the handoff instead of fighting it.

Eight years in, that approach has produced $1.2B in audited client value and a 94% retention rate — because the clients who could leave choose to stay.

What we believe
THREE VALUES
01
Outcomes over optics
We measure ourselves by the metric we moved, not the model we shipped. Every engagement carries a number our client's CFO signs.
02
Senior, always
No pyramid. The partner who scopes your work is on your Slack at week thirty. We staff small teams of expensive people.
03
Honest about hard
We say no to work we can't do well, and we tell you when an AI isn't the answer. Trust compounds; hype doesn't.
