# AI consulting and development in Detroit, MI > If you run a parts supplier in Troy or Auburn Hills, a captive finance arm downtown or a mobility startup at Michigan Central in Corktown, your data estate was probably designed for a different decade and your AI question arrives on top of it. Automotive finance is where most of our published work started, so that inheritance is familiar ground. Canonical: https://www.techfabric.com/ai-development-detroit Serving: Detroit, Ann Arbor, Dearborn, Troy, Warren, Grand Rapids, Toledo Headquarters: 1530 E Williams Field Rd, Ste 201, Gilbert, AZ 85295. No office in Detroit. --- ## Why Detroit work is our work Your AI pilot works in the demo, and nobody on the roadmap has the engineers to put it into production beside the systems it reads. We build the agents, the integration with those systems and the approval gate a person signs, with senior engineers you meet before work starts. Around Detroit that means automotive suppliers and captive lenders first, and a Midtown hospital group or a freight broker at the Ambassador Bridge the same way. ## AI consulting in Detroit Most AI consulting in Detroit, from the suppliers in Troy to the auto lenders downtown, starts on a data estate built for a different decade. We assess which supplier, telematics and finance data is usable as it stands, rank use cases by how much rework they need first, and give you the order in which to fund them. [AI consulting in Phoenix](https://www.techfabric.com/ai-consulting-phoenix) ## Work a buyer here would recognise Auto lenders and captive finance arms run processes that can't stop halfway, and repossession is a legally sensitive one. This study shows that process rebuilt on Temporal, so every step is recoverable and the full history of what happened is there afterwards. ## A supplier is audited against contracts it didn't write Detroit's carmakers sit within a short drive of each other, GM downtown, Ford in Dearborn and Stellantis in Auburn Hills, and the suppliers in Troy, Southfield and Livonia sell to all three and often to the German makers too. Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes-Benz ask for a TISAX assessment before they share prototype or project data, so a tier-two supplier is audited against a standard it never negotiated. ## Questions ### Can you meet OEM cybersecurity requirements as a supplier? We build to what those clauses require, which is controlled access, a demonstrable change history and a software supply chain you can account for. Automotive finance and mobility data is the largest concentration in our published work, so the requirements are familiar rather than novel. ### Do you have an office in Detroit? The office is in Gilbert, Arizona, with teams in Amsterdam, Dnipro and Hyderabad. Delivery is remote or hybrid, and we travel for discovery, workshops and the opening weeks of a build. ## What ai consulting and development covers ### Agents that hold state A task that runs for three days, calls six systems and waits twice on a person cannot live in a request handler. We build agents on a durable runtime, so a deploy in the middle of a run does not lose the run, and a retry does not send the same email twice. ### Retrieval that cites what it used An answer nobody can trace is an answer nobody can defend. Retrieval is built so every response carries the documents behind it. ### Evaluation, before and after Without a score, every prompt change is a matter of opinion. We put deterministic scorers and model-based judges in front of the thing so a change ships with a number attached rather than with a feeling. ### Human approval where it belongs Some actions should stop and wait for a person. That gate is part of the system rather than a policy document, so an agent that wants to issue a refund pauses, the approval is recorded, and the run picks up where it left off. ### Cost you can see Model spend, retrieval infrastructure and the review time a system still needs are the numbers that decide whether it stays live after the first quarter. They get instrumented at build time, not discovered on an invoice. ### Governed data access An agent reads through the same grants a person would. On Databricks that is Unity Catalog, so a model that tries to reach a table it has no grant for fails the way any principal fails, rather than because the prompt asked it nicely. ## Working with us from Arizona Arizona does not observe daylight saving, so we are two hours behind you from November to March and three hours behind from March to November. That leaves most of your afternoon overlapping our morning, which is usually enough. Most delivery is remote or hybrid. We travel for discovery, workshops and the opening weeks of a build.
