Your AI Consulting Partner
for Enterprise Messaging

Expert guidance on LLM integration and machine learning strategy for messaging platforms.

Why is SureM’s consulting special

SureM’s AI consulting practice is independent from our messaging products. We are hired to solve a specific business problem with AI/ML — starting from the customer’s workflow, data, regulatory posture, and operating constraints. Every engagement is custom: there is no off-the-shelf product, no required integration with SureM channels, no vendor lock-in.

Engagement model

A clear, phased approach from discovery to production —
with full transparency and measurable outcomes.

01
Discovery sprint
1–2 week

scoping, feasibility,
and risk review

02
Pilot delivery
4–8 week

production-grade prototype
with eval harness

03
Operate and scale
Ongoing

hardening, monitoring,
and ongoing model + agent ops

04
Hand-off
Handover

documented runbooks, eval suites,
dashboards — your team owns it

What we build for clients

End-to-end AI solutions tailored to your business.
From intelligent agents to enterprise-grade systems and strategy.

01

AI agents and orchestration

Workflow automation

Tool-using agents tailored to a specific workflow — support, ops, research, sales, internal automation. Built with human-in-the-loop checkpoints for reliability.

02

LLM applications

Production AI

Production LLM systems with prompt and structured-output design, function calling, schema validation, fallback chains, and cost/latency budgeting tied to your SLAs.

03

Retrieval and search (RAG)

Enterprise knowledge

Retrieval pipelines over your private corpora — policy, product, support, contracts, code — with intent classification, routing, and evaluation built in.

04

Classical ML systems

Prediction & detection

Forecasting, anomaly detection, classification, and risk scoring — the right tool for problems where an LLM is overkill or unreliable.

05

Evals, observability, ML ops

Reliability at scale

Offline eval harnesses, online A/B and shadow traffic, drift monitoring, red-team suites, and the ops scaffolding to keep models reliable post-launch.

06

Strategy and advisory

From idea to impact

AI roadmap, build vs. buy, vendor selection, data readiness audits, and pilot prioritization — so you invest in what drives real impact.

How an engagement runs

From business discovery to production ownership, every engagement is structured around clear decisions, measurable outcomes, and no lock-in.

01

Discovery

Map the business problem, data, current workflow, success metrics, risk surface, and regulatory constraints.
OUTPUT a decision document, not a sales deck.

02

Architecture and tradeoffs

Model selection (proprietary vs. open-weight), hosting (managed vs. on-prem vs. air-gapped), latency, cost, evaluation strategy, and compliance posture — OUTPUT documented for stakeholders.

03

Pilot build

OUTPUT A production-grade prototype with eval harness, observability, and a gate criterion. Real data, real users, measured outcomes.

04

Operate or hand off

Either we run it with you, or we transition full ownership to your team with
OUTPUT runbooks, eval sets, and dashboards. No lock-in.

Stack chosen per engagement based on data sensitivity, latency, regulatory posture, and operating budget. We are not tied to a single vendor.

Why work with this practice

Custom by default

We do not sell a product. Every system is designed for your workflow, data, and constraints — built to ship and to be owned by your team.

Production engineering, not demos

Pilots ship with eval suites, observability, fallback paths, and operating runbooks. We optimize for what survives in production, not what looks good in a slide.

Operating discipline

SureM is a 25-year telecom-grade operator. Telecom SLAs, incident response, and observability discipline carry over directly to AI engagements.

Confidentiality and isolation

NDA-first engagements. Data handling, prompt logging, and model isolation are designed up front — not retrofitted.

Korean + global delivery

Delivery teams across Korea, China, and the U.S. with bilingual capability — useful for enterprises operating across APAC.

No required SureM integration

This practice is independent of our messaging products. If your AI work happens to overlap with messaging, fine; if not, that is also fine.

Confidentiality

Discovery and pilot engagements run under mutual NDA. Data handling, prompt logging policy, and model isolation are agreed before any data moves.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about SureM’s AI, LLM, and ML consulting practice — engagement model, confidentiality, and how it differs from a typical AI vendor.

What is SureM's AI, LLM, and ML consulting practice?

A separate practice from SureM's messaging products. We design, build, and operate custom AI agents, LLM applications, and ML systems tailored to each client's workflow, data, and regulatory constraints — with no off-the-shelf product.

No. This practice is fully independent of SureM's messaging channels. If your AI project happens to touch messaging, that's fine — but it's never a requirement.

Most engagements start with a 1–2 week discovery sprint for scoping and feasibility, followed by a 4–8 week pilot delivery phase that produces a production-grade prototype with a full evaluation harness.

There's no fixed, off-the-shelf price — cost scales with scope, data complexity, and infrastructure requirements. The discovery sprint is quoted as a fixed fee upfront, so you know the cost before committing. Pilot delivery and ongoing operate-and-scale work are quoted after discovery, once the build plan, data footprint, and hosting requirements are clear.

You choose: SureM can operate and scale the system with ongoing model and agent ops, or hand off full ownership to your team with documented runbooks, eval suites, and dashboards.

We're vendor-agnostic. Stack choices — proprietary APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) or open-weight models (Llama, Qwen, Gemma), managed or on-prem/air-gapped hosting — are made per engagement based on data sensitivity, latency, and compliance needs.

All discovery and pilot engagements run under mutual NDA. Data handling, prompt logging policy, and model isolation are agreed before any data moves — not retrofitted afterward.

Examples include internal support agents over policy and product docs, fraud and account-takeover risk scoring, multilingual voice IVR, sales-research agents, contract review automation, and demand forecasting.

SureM operates as a 25-year telecom-grade infrastructure provider. That means telecom-grade SLAs, incident response, and observability discipline carry directly into every AI engagement — we build for what survives in production, not for a demo.

Start With a Discovery Sprint

A 1–2 week scoping engagement that maps your problem, data, and constraints into a clear, decision-ready build plan — no commitment required beyond the sprint.
