A successful AI journey starts with a clear AI strategy. At Fifty One Degrees, we embed ourselves in your business to understand your goals, challenges, and the opportunities AI can unlock. By analysing your technology stack, data infrastructure, and operational needs, we develop a tailored AI roadmap to guide your transformation.
Whether it is deploying conversational AI to revolutionise customer interactions or implementing AI agents to handle high-volume tasks, our strategy is designed to align with your business objectives and deliver measurable results. We enable you to serve more, serve smarter, and innovate faster.
Adopting AI at scale requires a clear vision of its benefits and a structured approach to mitigate risks. At Fifty One Degrees, we prioritise ethical, transparent, and responsible AI deployment. We work with you to develop governance frameworks that keep your organisation aligned, informed, and compliant.
Our governance services include:
Defining AI policies that align with your people strategy, dispel myths, and foster trust.
Defining KPIs to measure AI’s impact on business outcomes.
Conducting risk assessments and designing mitigation strategies to ensure seamless integration.
We believe AI should empower your organisation, not complicate it. By focusing on governance, we help you adopt AI sustainably while delivering long-term value.
AI capabilities are transforming almost every business function in every sector. Here are some of the most impactful services Fifty One Degrees can support you with as your AI consultants.
Generative AI ‘assistants’ and AI Agents, trained to any specialism within your business, provide instant support to your team members, enabling them to produce more and increase the quality of their work. Compliance, risk, operations, engineering, analytics; every function in your organisation will become significantly more efficient and effective.
AI-powered tools and features will enable your business to automate more, therefore reducing customer drop-off. A recent Gartner study showed that 64% of AI initiatives are focused on improving customer experience or driving revenue growth.
Automating routine inbound and outbound phone calls and interactions with Conversational AI can reduce operational costs, increase productivity, and free up teams for more complex tasks. Conversational AI is reshaping how companies interact with their customers, making every interaction efficient, effective, and responsive.
Artificial intelligence has the power to ingest all of the documentation required to answer most customer enquiries but to also merge your live proprietary data sources simultaneously, making it far more than just a ChatBot.
AI is driving growth and efficiencies in Financial Services and Insurance.
Online retailers are improving customer experience and reducing operational overhead with AI tools.
Generative AI (GenAI), and specifically Large Language Models (LLMs) like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Anthropic’s Claude and Google’s Gemini are the AI models being used to power many of the recent advancements, such as AI Agents. These tools can ingest and respond to vast volumes of human-like language, making them perfect for serving customers and employees better.
Advances in conversational AI are enabling businesses to automate inbound and outbound customer calls, to improve customer experience and increase productivity simultaneously. Use cases range from triage systems to fulfilling steps in processes, to reminding customers to complete the next stage in a customer journey.
AI and machine learning are not new technologies, but they are new to most businesses. Until now AI and machine learning models have predominantly been used by a small number of technology and financial services companies, but we will support clients across all sectors to capitalise on the growth and efficiencies these technologies can enable.
At Fifty One Degrees we build, launch and maintain custom AI Agents for businesses. We identify appropriate, high-impact use cases, then scope, build and launch your AI Agent solution. Solutions are designed with enterprise-ready features, such as reliability and accuracy monitoring, and Quality Assurance (QA).
We use the term AI Wrapper to describe an off-the-shelf tool that is solving a specific use case with an AI, but they are relying on an LLM to power their tool, as opposed to building an LLM of their own.
Many of the large enterprise software providers, such as CRM tools, customer communications platforms and employee platforms are creating AI-enabled features, to make using their software more effective and more efficient.
Half of UK SMEs now say they’re likely to replace some staff roles with AI.
Forward Deployed Engineers: The AI Consultancy Model That Actually Ships | Fifty One Degrees The
Take three simple steps to start deploying AI in your business.
① Book an exploratory meeting
② Agree a proposal
③ Design & build your AI implementation
Most AI consultants deliver slide decks and theory. Fifty One Degrees delivers working software. We are a vertically integrated AI partner that guides you through the entire lifecycle:
Strategy: We analyse your data infrastructure and operational bottlenecks to identify high-impact use cases.
Implementation: Our forward-deployed engineers build and ship custom AI Agents and Conversational AI solutions.
Governance: We design frameworks to ensure your AI is ethical, compliant (including EU AI Act readiness), and secure. We don’t just tell you what to do; we build the tools to do it.
Governance is not an optional add-on; it is our starting point. With deep roots in Financial Services and Insurance, we understand the scrutiny of regulators like the FCA and PRA. We help you draft internal AI policies, conduct risk assessments, and implement “Human-in-the-loop” safeguards. This ensures you can leverage Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) to automate underwriting or complaints handling without compromising data security or compliance.
It depends on the complexity of your problem.
AI Features/Wrappers: For simple, isolated tasks, off-the-shelf tools (like AI features in your CRM) are often sufficient.
Custom AI Agents: For complex, multi-step workflows—like automating a full mortgage application or managing end-to-end supply chain logistics—you need a Custom AI Agent. We act as “Smart Enablers,” helping you navigate this landscape. We will never oversell a custom build if a standard tool solves your problem effectively.
We are outcome-obsessed. We don’t measure success by billable hours, but by tangible business impact. This could be hours saved per week, reduction in cost-per-acquisition (CPA), or increase in customer satisfaction (CSAT) scores. For example, by implementing AI Agents for Equals Group, we focused on measurable efficiency gains. We define these KPIs during the Strategy phase so every Sprint delivers visible value.
We work in rapid cycles using our “Ship, Learn, Iterate” framework.
Discovery & Strategy: typically 1-2 weeks.
Proof of Concept (PoC): ~2 weeks to build a working prototype.
Beta Release: ~6 weeks to deploy a functional solution to a test group. This ensures you aren’t waiting months for a “big bang” launch that might miss the mark. You get validated results fast.
