Frequently Asked Questions
Is JetBot AI a real product I can buy off the shelf?
No, JetBot AI is not a standard or widely recognized product. It's used as a strategic hook to highlight the limitations of off-the-shelf AI tools and emphasize the need for custom AI solutions tailored to specific business workflows.
Why shouldn't I just use no-code AI platforms for my professional services firm?
No-code platforms often lead to brittle integrations, lack of ownership, and compliance gaps—especially in regulated environments. Custom-built systems, like those from AIQ Labs, offer deeper API connections, scalability, and secure, compliant workflows that no-code tools can't reliably support.
How much time can custom AI actually save for a small professional services team?
Small and mid-sized firms using AI automation report handling 30% more client work, with time savings of 15–20 hours per week reclaimed for billable tasks—thanks to streamlined processes like automated client onboarding, proposal generation, and scheduling.
Can custom AI help with compliance in legal or financial services?
Yes, custom AI systems can embed compliance checks for regulations like GDPR or SOX directly into workflows. AIQ Labs’ experience building secure platforms like RecoverlyAI and Agentive AIQ demonstrates capability in creating compliant, auditable AI for regulated industries.
Isn't building custom AI expensive and risky compared to subscriptions?
While off-the-shelf tools seem cheaper upfront, 74% of firms struggle to scale their value due to integration barriers. Custom AI delivers measurable ROI—such as 15–20 hours saved weekly—and eliminates subscription fatigue by creating owned, unified systems built for long-term efficiency.
How do I know if my firm is ready for a custom AI solution?
If your team spends 20–40 hours weekly on manual tasks like client intake, proposals, or scheduling—or faces payment delays, compliance risks, and tool fragmentation—you're likely hitting the limits of off-the-shelf software and ready for a tailored AI solution.
