Forward deployed AI engineers who ship AI into production

Frequently asked questions

What does Futurelab Studios do?

We help organisations use AI in two ways: we build an agentic layer across your organisation by automating workflows, and we run capability programmes that teach your leaders and teams to use AI tools and to build and deploy their own, the right way.

What is Forward AI Deployment?

Our project managers and engineers work with your teams, next to the people who will use the AI. We build, show what we built, and improve it together, solving the problem with you.

How are you different from other AI consulting firms?

We put working AI solutions into your organisation, not just a strategy document.

What kinds of organisations do you work with?

Consumer goods companies, consulting firms, knowledge-heavy businesses, foundations, nonprofits and government programmes.

Where do you work?

We’re based in Bengaluru and work across India and the Gulf.

What does your capability programme cover?

Hands-on AI training for leaders and teams in every department: adopting AI, getting the most from existing tools, and building custom ones.

Can you train non-technical teams?

Yes. We start from each team’s daily work, not from how the technology works.

What does the agentic layer look like in practice?

AI agents and automated workflows built into how your teams already work. They take over repetitive tasks so your people can spend time on judgement calls.

How does an engagement usually start?

With a discovery call, then a focused first project (a workshop or a pilot) so you see results before you commit to more.

How soon will we see results?

Training pays off right away. Pilot automations usually reach real users within weeks.

How do you price your work?

Programmes are priced per engagement. Builds and advisory work run on monthly retainers. You get a clear quote after the discovery call.

Which AI models do you use?

We don’t tie you to one model. We’ve built on OpenAI’s GPT models and Anthropic’s Claude, and we specialise in Claude training. We also work with Gemini, Sarvam and open-source models.

Is our data safe?

Yes. We’re happy to sign an NDA, and we can work on a virtual machine inside your organisation so your data never leaves your environment.

Can your solutions work in Indian languages?

Yes. We build for teams that work in regional languages as well as English.

Will your tools work with our existing systems?

Yes. We connect to the systems you already use, such as your CRM, ERP, email, WhatsApp and spreadsheets.

Who owns what you build?

You do. The contract sets out ownership plainly.

What happens after launch?

Support retainers cover maintenance, improvements and new automations as your needs grow.

Do we need an in-house AI team?

No. We can deliver on our own, or work with your team and train them to take over.

How do we get started?

Book a discovery call. We’ll suggest the smallest step that shows what AI can do for your organisation.
