Answers to common questions about our AI consulting services, process, and approach.
Galang AI is a boutique AI consulting firm based in Northern Virginia that designs and deploys custom AI systems for federal agencies, government contractors, and regulated enterprises.
We build production-ready AI agents, RAG knowledge systems, workflow automation, and intelligent content pipelines. Every solution is tailored to your existing tools, compliance requirements, and operational workflows.
Galang AI delivers hands-on implementation, not slide decks. Large firms often assign junior analysts and charge enterprise rates for generic solutions.
As a boutique firm, our principal consultants work directly on your project from day one. You get:

This matters because it:
RAG is essential for any organization that needs AI outputs it can trust. Learn more about our AI agent and RAG system capabilities.
Costs vary by scope and complexity, but here are typical ranges:
As a boutique firm, you work directly with senior consultants. No layers of junior staff or overhead markups. That means better results at a fraction of what large consultancies charge.
Timelines depend on scope, but we prioritize rapid time-to-value:
We use iterative delivery so you see working results early. You won't wait months for a big reveal. Each sprint produces something functional you can test and validate.
Our process is straightforward:
You work directly with senior consultants at every stage. No handoffs to junior staff or offshore teams.
Both, strategically. We design architecture first and select tools second.
Our solutions often combine best-in-class AI models with custom integration layers built for your specific workflows. We never resell generic products or force you into a vendor's ecosystem.
If an off-the-shelf tool genuinely fits your needs, we will recommend it. If custom development produces better outcomes, we build it. The goal is the right solution, not the trendiest technology.
Success is measured through operational outcomes, not vanity metrics. We define clear success criteria before work begins.
Typical metrics include:
If AI does not materially improve how you operate, it does not ship.
Data security is built into every engagement from day one, not bolted on after the fact.
Standard security measures across all projects:
For sensitive environments, we deploy fully on-premises or within your existing secure infrastructure. See our trust and compliance services for more detail.
