Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my firm is losing control to off-the-shelf AI tools?
If your team is juggling multiple AI subscriptions that don’t integrate well or produce inconsistent results, you’re likely facing the 'Rizzbot' problem—74% of firms struggle to scale AI due to integration complexity, leading to wasted time and reduced operational control.
Can custom AI really save my team 20+ hours a week like some claim?
While exact 20–40 hour claims aren’t verified in the data, research shows professional services teams save 12–15 hours weekly on admin tasks and 8–10 hours on research using generative AI—custom systems like AIQ Labs’ Agentive AIQ can increase these gains by aligning with your specific workflows.
Isn’t it cheaper and easier to just use tools like ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot?
Off-the-shelf tools may seem easier, but 79% of corporate users of Copilot still face limitations in customization and compliance; only 12% of professional services firms report organization-wide integration, highlighting scalability and control gaps that bespoke systems are built to solve.
How does a custom AI system handle data privacy and compliance for legal or accounting firms?
Custom-built systems like those from AIQ Labs can be designed with GDPR and data confidentiality in mind, using secure, owned infrastructure—unlike public AI tools where sensitive client data may be exposed, a growing concern in legal and fintech sectors.
What’s the real ROI of switching from subscription AI tools to a custom solution?
Firms using AI in project management and forecasting see improved delivery accuracy and profitability, while non-adopters face up to a 36% drop in EBITDA; custom AI helps capture sustained ROI by automating bottlenecks like billing and lead qualification with owned, scalable workflows.
How do I get started with building a custom AI workflow for my small firm?
AIQ Labs offers a free AI audit to identify inefficiencies in areas like client intake or proposal generation—this assessment helps build tailored solutions, such as automated documentation or AI-powered lead scoring, designed specifically for small and mid-sized professional services firms.
