Where does your terminal stand with AI?

First steps or already further: we turn your own records into tools that work, with your process owner in charge. For safety, operations and administration. As we do for 70+ clients in energy, water, construction and manufacturing.

Plan 30 minutes with Lewis

01 · Where you start

First steps, or already further?

Just starting

Your first steps with AI

  • Pick one process where AI pays off first.
  • Get your management and team on the same page.
  • A first working tool within 90 days.

Already further

From pilot to daily use

  • Test what you have on your own past cases.
  • Put the tool where it saves work or catches errors.
  • Begin at day 31.

Most terminals have not started yet. That is fine: the records you already keep are enough to begin.

02 · Your first 90 days

One process. Three phases. A working tool.

Safety was today’s example. The same plan works for operations, administration and logging: from checking permits to drafting reports or keeping shift logs complete.

  1. Days 0 to 30

    Choose one process

    We doMap one process with its owner. Review two years of records and find the repetitive work or recurring errors.

    You getA process map, one agreed AI use case and a plan with an owner and success measures.

  2. Days 31 to 60

    Test a first version

    We doBuild a test version. Run it on past cases with your team and fix gaps in the records.

    You getA working prototype and a test report: what it gets right, what it misses and what needs fixing.

  3. Days 61 to 90

    Put it to work

    We doUse the tool in one daily workflow. Train the team and measure the results with its owner.

    You getOne live tool, a trained team and a results report: time saved, errors caught and work completed.

AI should be an investment, not just a cost. We always look for the fastest route to value in your first 30, 60 or 90 days.

03 · Who we work with

From strategy to adoption, worldwide

Gaide is the AI partner for companies that build, move and maintain the physical world.

  1. 1Strategy

    Where AI pays off first, linked to your goals and priorities.

  2. 2Governance

    Clear rules for safe use: which tools, which data, who decides. In line with the EU AI Act.

  3. 3Build

    Tools on your own records, tested on past cases before they go live.

  4. 4Training

    Your teams trained to use AI safely and well, from management to the quay.

Safe use is not an extra step. It runs through all four.

  • Enexis
  • Evides
  • Rockwool
  • Van Vulpen
  • Petrogas
  • MVRDV

What we have built

Safety

  • Live translation of toolbox talks for multilingual crews.
  • Safety tools in daily use on site.

Operations

  • A booking app for planning people and resources.
  • Transport lists generated straight from the planning system.

Administration

  • Invoices processed straight into the accounting system.
  • Incoming orders and contracts read and entered automatically.

Knowledge

  • Manuals, procedures and logs searchable for every employee.
  • An assistant that keeps project files and actions up to date.

Always built together with your IT, on your own systems and access rules.

04 · Why it works

AI is not only technology. It is discipline.

AI projects rarely stall on technology. They stall on these three. That is why we settle them in the first 30 days, before anything is built.

  1. 1

    Own the records

    Someone owns every document and log the tool reads.

  2. 2

    Keep the human check

    The tool supports. The responsible person checks and decides.

  3. 3

    Train the team

    A tool is only used when the people doing the work trust it.

05 · Start here

A terminal scan, on site

We come to your terminal for one day. With your safety lead, operations lead or another process owner, we review one workflow and its records.

What you get

  • One concrete opportunity to save work or reduce errors.
  • The records, owner and measures it needs.
  • Your 90-day plan, on paper within a week.

Fixed scope, fixed investment, agreed before we come.

  1. 1

    30 minutes

    A short call to choose the process.

  2. 2

    The scan

    One day on site, plan within a week.
