AI systems & automation
Intelligence, in service of your work.
Marain designs, builds, and runs AI systems — public, private, or hybrid — and the automations around them, for teams that value their data and their people.
The gap
Everyone wants AI’s leverage. Few want to surrender control to get it.
The hard part was never calling a model. It’s deciding what runs where, keeping sensitive data in your hands, and building systems your people actually adopt.
That judgment is the work — and it’s what we do.
What we do
From first opportunity to a running system.
01
Assess
A paid Opportunity Audit maps where AI and automation pay off — ranked by ROI and effort.
02
Architect
Design the system: what to automate, which model, where it runs, how data is governed.
03
Build
Automations, AI systems, and assistants — shipped, documented, and adopted.
04
Operate
We monitor, maintain, and evolve it. Predictable, on a retainer.
05
Enable
Your team learns to run and extend what we built. No lock-in of knowledge.
The Marain deployment path
Public → hybrid → private. An evolution, not a bet.
You don’t have to pick perfectly on day one. Start public to ship fast, move workloads to hybrid as they scale, go private for the slice that earns it.
Public
Start hereFrontier models (Claude, GPT, Gemini). Fastest to value, best raw capability. Right for proving the case and any non-sensitive workload.
Hybrid
Where most mature orgs landA gateway routes sensitive or high-volume work to private models and everything else to the frontier. No lock-in, no all-or-nothing bet.
Private
For the workloads that warrant itSelf-hosted, data-sovereign deployment for the highest-stakes slice — regulated data, sustained volume, strict control.
Engagements
Start small. Prove it. Scale.
