What makes a suitable first AI project?
A recurring information task with a clear owner, approved inputs and a result someone can assess. Searching a defined document collection or extracting a small set of fields can be useful starting points. An assessment can help decide whether AI is appropriate.
What information do you need to begin?
Describe the task, who performs it, the current difficulty and the systems involved. A short, non-confidential outline is enough for an initial enquiry. Do not send patient information, confidential documents, passwords or production credentials.
Can an application work with our existing systems?
That depends on supported APIs or import methods, access rights and the system’s constraints. Compatibility, testing access and an appropriate handoff are reviewed during scoping; integration with a particular product is not assumed.
How would we evaluate a pilot?
Agree representative tasks, a baseline and acceptance criteria first. Review output quality, significant errors, source support, human review effort and operating costs. The findings support a decision to proceed, revise or stop.
How is our data handled?
Use this website only for a non-confidential enquiry. Project data access, processing arrangements, storage, retention and third-party providers must be agreed for the specific engagement before data is shared.
Who owns the application and its outputs?
Ownership, reuse rights, data responsibilities and third-party licenses are agreed in the project contract. Discuss any requirements for source-code access, handover or use of existing intellectual property before implementation begins.
What ongoing costs should we consider?
Depending on the design, costs may include hosting, model or API usage, storage, monitoring, maintenance and support. These are discussed during scoping. Scope, pricing and any ongoing support are agreed after review.
What happens after I send an enquiry?
A successful submission displays the server’s enquiry reference. IMM can then review your outline and follow up to clarify fit and possible next steps. Any assessment, delivery commitment or commercial work requires an agreed scope.
