Who is this page for?
This page is for Denver business owners and executives who are being asked what the company is doing about AI. Usually some of the team already uses ChatGPT or Copilot, the licenses are paid for, and nobody can point to what changed on the P&L. If that sounds familiar, the useful question isn't which tool to buy next. It's where AI would take real hours or errors out of the work you already do.
What does an AI consulting firm in Denver actually do?
The good ones do more than recommend tools. A complete engagement covers four things: deciding where AI pays (strategy), getting people to use it (change management), building the workflows, agents and integrations (implementation), and keeping it accurate and current after launch (stewardship). Many firms do one or two of these well. Modern Thesis covers all four with one team, so you have one party accountable for the result.
These are examples of what can be built, not past results:
- Draft first versions of proposals, reports or estimates from your own past work, for a person to review.
- Pull data out of emails, PDFs and forms and enter it into the systems your team already uses.
- Search the company's own documents in plain language, with every answer linked to its source.
- Flag errors, missing information and late items before a client or a customer finds them.
How is Modern Thesis different from other options in Denver?
Denver has AI agencies, independent consultants, staffing firms and software vendors, and each is the right fit for some companies. Agencies are often strongest at building. Independent consultants are often strongest at strategy and training. Modern Thesis is built for the company that wants one team to do the whole job and then stay. Ongoing stewardship has no set end date, and you own your data, accounts, code and documentation throughout. Our guide on how to choose an AI consultant lays out the questions to ask any firm, including us.
How does an engagement start?
Every engagement starts with a strategic assessment. We learn how the work really gets done, measure a baseline on the workflows that matter (time, cost and error rates), and rank the opportunities by return. It ends with the first build defined. If AI won't pay for itself somewhere in your company, we'll tell you.
What does AI consulting cost?
It depends on the scope, so Modern Thesis prices each engagement after a first conversation and doesn't publish a rate card. Our guide to AI consulting costs explains the common pricing models and what moves the number, so you can compare firms on the same terms.
When is something else the better choice?
If the main goal is better writing and email, the ChatGPT or Copilot licenses you already pay for may be enough. Our comparison of Copilot or ChatGPT and an AI partner walks through the difference. If one off-the-shelf tool solves the problem, buy it. An outside team earns its cost when the work crosses several systems, has to be accurate enough to rely on, and needs to keep working after launch.
How Modern Thesis handles this
We put AI to work inside xFusion, the 70-person company Jim co-founded, and then for several of its clients. We bring that same operator approach to Denver companies: start with the assessment, build what pays first, and stay to keep it running and measured.
Questions
Is Modern Thesis based in Denver?
Yes. Modern Thesis is based in the Denver area, with an office at 11001 W 120th Ave, Ste 400, Broomfield, CO 80021. We work with companies across the Front Range in person and with clients across the United States remotely.
Do you work on site with Denver companies?
Yes, when the work calls for it. Mapping how work really moves through a company is easier in the room, so we usually spend time on site during the assessment and the first build. Day-to-day building and stewardship can run remotely.
What kinds of Denver companies do you work with?
Non-tech companies with $10M+ in annual revenue, usually without a CTO, where the owner or CEO wants AI to show up in numbers the business already tracks. That includes professional services firms, engineering and water consultancies, and the trades.
How much does AI consulting cost in Denver?
It depends on scope, so we don't publish a rate card. Each engagement is priced after a first conversation. Our guide to AI consulting costs explains the common pricing models and what drives the number.
We already pay for ChatGPT or Copilot. Do we still need a consultant?
Keep them. Those tools are useful, and many of your people probably already get value from them. A consultant earns its cost when the work needs AI connected to your own systems and data, measured against a baseline, and maintained after it ships.
