Service · AI Retainer

An AI Partner,
Not a Project

Projects end. Businesses keep moving. Aptiv's AI Retainer gives South African business owners a dedicated AI strategy partner — someone who understands your operations, builds alongside you, and compounds value month over month. Not a once-off deliverable. A structural advantage.

Once-Off Consulting

  • Single deliverable, then you're on your own
  • Knowledge lives in the document, not with you
  • No adaptation as your business evolves
  • You implement — without a thinking partner

Aptiv AI Retainer

  • Ongoing access — strategy evolves with your business
  • AI workflows built and iterated monthly
  • A partner who knows your context, not just your problem
  • Compound value: each month builds on the last

Monthly access.
Structural momentum.

Monthly Strategy Sessions

Structured sessions focused on your current operational challenges — not generic AI advice, but applied thinking for your specific business context, market, and goals.

Workflow Automation Builds

Identification and implementation of AI automations in your operations — from client communication pipelines to reporting, task routing, and document generation.

Operational Consulting

Advisory across process design, hiring, vendor selection, and growth decisions — with AI as the analytical layer, not the answer machine. You still make the calls. We make sure the inputs are clean.

Performance Monitoring

Monthly reporting on key metrics, automation performance, and strategic progress — so every session starts with data, not assumptions.

Async Access

Between sessions, you have access to Aptiv's team for questions, document reviews, and sanity checks. Decisions don't wait for the next scheduled session.

Archie Integration

Access to Aptiv's AI agent, Archie, configured for your business context — a trained assistant that knows your operations, your documents, and your objectives.

Where the retainer
creates real leverage.

01

Operations

Automating repetitive internal processes — quote generation, task assignment, weekly reporting, vendor communication. Free your team for decisions, not data entry.

02

Marketing & Content

Building content pipelines, social media workflows, and campaign frameworks that run consistently — without requiring your daily involvement. Brand voice maintained, calendar executed.

03

Finance & Bookkeeping

Integrating with Aptiv Books or your existing tools to automate reconciliation, flag anomalies, and produce SARS-aligned reports without a full-time bookkeeper.

04

Client Communications

AI-assisted proposal drafting, follow-up sequences, onboarding flows, and client reporting — so your client experience scales without your effort scaling proportionally.
