BUILD YOUR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE LIMITED

What BUILD YOUR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE LIMITED does

Build Your Artificial Intelligence Limited (trading as Build Your AI) is a London-based, founder-owned AI consulting and training firm founded in 2021 by Ali Parandeh, a Chartered Engineer and certified data scientist. The company serves engineering organisations in the UK and Europe — spanning rail, manufacturing, construction, automotive, energy, aerospace, healthcare, and infrastructure — that require AI adoption to meet safety, security, and regulatory constraints not addressed by consumer-grade AI tools.

The firm's offering comprises five interconnected service lines: AI Strategy and Advisory (readiness assessment, use-case prioritisation, roadmap design); AI Solutions & Engineering (design and build of agent-based workflows, knowledge assistants, internal copilots, and document interaction platforms); Data Engineering & Infrastructure (pipelines for measurement and IoT data, storage architecture); Bespoke AI Modelling & Analytics (fine-tuned ML models for engineering contexts, including edge-case handling and private-environment deployment); and Training & Capability (engineering-focused courses delivered through the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and Engineers Ireland). It also operates a free AI Readiness Assessment tool as a self-serve diagnostic. Underlying delivery emphasises private deployment, governance guardrails, and integration with existing systems (e.g., SharePoint, legacy databases).

The business operates as a professional services firm on a quote-based, consultation-led model with engagements typically starting at training or strategy and progressing through pilot builds (3-week minimum) to production deployment (2–4 week strategy engagements). Distribution is primarily via website consultation booking and direct outreach. The company is bootstrapped with 1–10 employees and serves enterprise and mid-market engineering firms through an enterprise field sales motion.

• Baringa Partners: UK-based consulting firm with a growing AI and data practice serving energy, financial services, and infrastructure clients. Comparable to Build Your AI on AI advisory and engineering delivery, though with a stronger financial-services focus.

Direct peers

• Tessella: AI and data science consultancy serving engineering-intensive sectors including energy, aerospace, and transport. Comparable to Build Your AI on bespoke ML modelling, data engineering, and engineering-domain specialisation.
• Element AI (ServiceNow): AI consulting and solutions firm acquired by ServiceNow, focused on enterprise AI deployment from strategy to production. Comparable to Build Your AI for its AI advisory and engineering delivery model, though at a vastly larger scale.
• Cambridge Consultants: Engineering and technology consultancy that designs AI-enabled solutions for industrial, aerospace, and rail clients. Comparable to Build Your AI for its engineering-vertical AI deployment model and end-to-end delivery from strategy to production.

• Capgemini Engineering: Engineering and digital transformation consultancy serving industrial, aerospace, rail, and automotive clients. Comparable to Build Your AI on engineering-vertical AI deployment and systems integration, though as a large incumbent rather than a focused specialist.
• Mott MacDonald: Global engineering consultancy with digital and AI capabilities serving rail, infrastructure, energy, and transport. Comparable to Build Your AI for engineering-domain AI adoption, but as a large incumbent serving the same buyer personas.
• Accenture Applied AI: Global professional services firm with a large AI engineering and responsible AI practice. Comparable to Build Your AI on enterprise AI advisory, MLOps, and responsible AI governance, but operating at a much larger scale across all verticals.

Regional players

• Atkins (SNC-Lavalin / AtkinsRéalis): Engineering consultancy where the founder previously worked. Comparable to Build Your AI for its rail, infrastructure, and engineering-domain expertise, but operates as a much larger broad incumbent with embedded AI capabilities.
