There have never been more AI tools, or more money wasted on them. Companies are buying platforms they don’t need, automating work that shouldn’t be automated, and calling the spend a strategy. Stirilo exists for the harder question: what is actually worth building in your operation? We answer it with evidence, build only what clears the bar, and say “don’t” as readily as “do.” We’re not here to sell you AI. We’re here to steer you through it.
Seven disciplines. One instrument. Whatever course you’re on, the same helm steers it.
New models every month, louder claims every week. We help you hold a steady bearing: pick what matters, build it properly, and keep your hands on the wheel.
A clear-eyed audit of your operation against the current AI landscape: where automation genuinely pays, where it quietly costs, which of the tools you’re being sold are worth it, and which existing spend to cut. You leave with a prioritized, evidence-based roadmap, executable with us or without us.
The layer that makes AI investments compound instead of sprawl: how knowledge is structured, how agents and automations are specified, documented, and governed, and the quality bar every future build must clear, whoever does the building.
Design and delivery of what makes the cut: AI agents and assistants, automation workflows, data pipelines, machine-learning models, retrieval over your own documents. Integrated with the stack you already run, sized to the need and nothing more.
A retained partner as the wave keeps moving: evaluating new tools and models as they appear, auditing what’s running, steering the roadmap quarter by quarter. For companies that want an AI lead on call without hiring one full-time.
Some clients need two weeks of hard-nosed assessment. Some need a system designed, built, and integrated. Some want a steady hand at the helm for years. Stirilo runs all three, and because everything we build is documented and transferable, staying with us is always a choice, never a trap. The one thing we don’t do is build things you don’t need.
Stay aboard as long as the voyage pays.

sti·ri·lo
helm; steering device; a tool used for steering.
Not the captain. Not the ship. The instrument that puts a course in your hands. We named the firm for the thing we hand over.
A steering instrument doesn’t row the boat or own the destination. It exists so that whoever holds it can cut a straight course through rough water. That’s the job.
Stirilo is founder-led and independent: no reseller agreements, no vendor commissions, no platform to push. Every engagement is scoped, architected, and overseen by the same practitioner you first talk to, with a background spanning machine-learning modeling, automated data pipelines, and production AI-agent systems, plus graduate training in data science. Small by design, which means no bench to keep busy, and no incentive to build anything that doesn’t earn its keep.
A first conversation is free and concrete: bring the AI idea you’re considering, or the tool you’re being sold, and leave knowing whether it’s worth doing, what it would honestly take, and what we’d skip entirely. If the right answer is “don’t build it,” that’s the answer you’ll get.
