AI consultantin Bari,for companies that want to use it on the job.
I am Fabrizio Mazzei. I was born in Bari and I work from here. I do AI consulting for companies in the city and across Puglia: a system that stays in real work, and a team that knows how to use it.

The work
AI consulting in Bari
An AI consultant does not show up to demo a model. They look at a piece of the day that repeats and decide whether AI shortens it without making the result worse. In Bari, as elsewhere, the requests are almost always these four.
Customers
Quotes and customer replies, where the text barely changes and a person still has to check.
Documents
Procedures, contracts, reports that need reading, summarizing, comparing.
Numbers
Numbers that get copied from one sheet to another before they become a decision.
AI expert in Bari
If you searched for an AI expert in Bari for your company, this is the page. I do not give private lessons and I am not looking for a job. I go into a process, say whether AI belongs there, and leave the team able to use it.
I work from Bari. After London and Brussels I chose to stay here, not Milan or Rome. At the University of Bari, with AIESEC, I learned to work in English. For a company in Puglia the point is simple: the first meeting can be in the city, the rest of the work lives on your files.
Already done
What I have already done
I do not sell a promised return on investment. I show work already done. Inside a company I designed automations with an estimated saving of over 7,500 hours, and I ran 11 sessions for more than 40 colleagues.



Puglia
How to bring artificial intelligence into a company in Puglia
You start from one process. Not from a platform, and not from a list of tools.
- 1
Write down how the work happens today: who does what, how long it takes, where it goes wrong.
- 2
Check whether the data exists. If it is thin or messy, the first case stays small on purpose.
- 3
Try it on that case, with a human check on steps that touch customers, money, or people.
- 4
Keep only what works on your data. Drop the rest, even if the trial looked good.
- 5
The people who will use the system learn the limits, not only the commands.
If the question goes beyond Bari and Puglia, the services page is how I can help. This page stays on Bari and Puglia.
SME
AI consulting for SMEs in Puglia
If you run a small or medium-sized company in Puglia, you do not need a platform for the whole firm. You need a process that repeats, a first meeting that can be in Bari, and a case the team can reuse on Monday. AI consulting for small and medium-sized companies, from here, is that: we meet in the city, then we often work remote, on the tools you already use.
Four steps
How AI consulting works
01
Diagnosis
One process, the data you have, the time it costs today. If AI does not shorten that work, I tell you not to do it. This is not a process-optimisation project for the sake of rebuilding everything.
02
One case
A trial on real work, not on a clean file prepared for a meeting. You see where it fails.
03
Putting it to work
Connected to what you already use: email, sheets, the management system, the site. With thresholds, a log, and a point where a person can stop the system.
04
Staying with it
The team uses it. You measure whether time comes back or quality drops. You update it when the model or the process changes.
Inside the company
AI training and workshops for companies in Bari
In Bari I train company teams in an on-site workshop, on your cases. Not an open classroom with the same date in every city.
AI workshop in Bari
You bring the cases, I bring the structure. Fewer slides, more something you can reuse on Monday. We use ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude, that is generative AI, on your files. They are not the subject of the course.
Not a catalogue course
A catalogue course has a date, a price, and the same syllabus in every city. I do not publish that calendar. If you want a course that trains trainers, or lessons by the hour, this is not it. If you want someone who comes into a company in Bari or Puglia and trains the team, it is.
AI courses for companies
I do not publish an AI course for companies with a date and a catalogue price. The course, here, is the on-site workshop: your cases, an output you can reuse on Monday.
ChatGPT course for companies in Bari
I do not run a ChatGPT course for companies in Bari with a fixed date, room and price. ChatGPT comes into the workshop with Gemini and Claude, on the files you bring. If you want an organisation's calendar, this is not the page.
AI Act course for companies in Bari
I do not publish an AI Act course for companies in Bari. Since 2 February 2025, article 4 asks for competence from people who use AI systems. In the workshop we make clear what the system may say, what it must not say, and who steps in when it is wrong. It is not a law lecture.
AI trainer in Bari
If you want an AI trainer in Bari for a course that teaches people to become trainers, or for lessons by the hour, this is not it. I train teams in the company, on their cases, in Bari and Puglia. Sessions already done are Sapienza, Kaleidoscope in Bari, and the internal workshops.
Office work
Business process automation
The Polytechnic degree
If you search for automation and artificial intelligence in Bari, Google often shows the Polytechnic engineering degree. That is plants and systems. It is not this work.
Email, documents, quotes, reports
Business process automation in Bari is a flow that does what a person now does on email, documents, quotes and reports, with a check where it matters. AI sits inside that flow, not in place of the person who checks. I run some of those flows on my own site: news, the blog, tools, costs. It is the same craft I bring into a company, on its processes. The portfolio shows the pieces.
Market bands
What an AI consultant costs
I do not publish a rate card. A half-day workshop and a system that sorts the mail every morning are not the same purchase. Putting them in one number would be an invented figure.
Public Italian guides, written by people who sell this work, show bands of this order. They help you read a quote. They are not my fee.
- Hour50-150 €
- Day500-1,500 €
- Assessment1,500-3,000 €
- First systemfrom 10,000 €
The bars show the bands, not exact figures.
What the price depends on
01
Whether you need a document or a process that runs on its own
02
How many tools must be connected
03
How tidy the data is
04
How much time the team can give
On the call we look at the process. I tell you whether it makes sense and which band it sits in.
Common questions
What does an AI consultant actually do?
They look at a real process, say whether AI belongs there, and if it does they leave it in a state that lasts: with data, limits, and a person who checks it. It is not a catalogue course and it is not a job ad.
What does the work look like?
It starts from something that repeats: email, quotes, documents, reports, customer requests. You measure how long it takes today, try one small case, and keep only what holds up on your data.
Where do you start when bringing AI into a company?
From one process, the data you already have, and a result you can count. If the data is messy you still start, from the narrowest piece, not from a programme that covers the whole company.
Can you use internal documents?
Yes, after deciding who can access them, what stays inside the company, and what must not leave. The setup depends on how sensitive those documents are.
Can AI work without a human check?
On low-risk repetition it can close the loop. Where the output touches customers, money, or people, the system proposes and someone confirms.
Do you also run company workshops?
Yes. AI training for companies in Bari is a workshop on site, on your cases, not an open-enrolment course. It is how a team starts using the tools on Monday, and how it covers the literacy that article 4 of the AI Act expects from people who use AI systems.
How much does an AI consultant cost?
I do not publish a single rate card. Public Italian guides, written by people who sell consulting, often show 50-150 euro an hour, 500-1,500 euro a day, an assessment around 1,500-3,000 euro, and a system that stays in the company from about 10,000 euro up. A workshop sits in a different band. The real number comes from the process.
What is the difference between a course and consulting?
A course teaches a group on fixed dates, often with the same syllabus in every city. Consulting starts from your process. It can include a workshop, and the result is a way of working that remains after I leave.
Are automation and AI the same thing?
No. In Bari, the word automation on its own often points to the engineering degree at the Polytechnic. On this page it means office workflows: email, documents, quotes, reports. Not industrial plants.
Do you work only in Bari or across Puglia?
I work from Bari. A first meeting can be in the city. The rest, for companies in Bari and the rest of Puglia, is often remote, on the tools you already use.
Does the team need to code?
No. The book and the workshops are for people who do the work, not for people who write code. If a piece has to be built, I build it. The team needs to know what the system may do and where it must stop.
Are you an AI expert in Bari?
Yes, if expert means someone who comes into a company and works on a real process. No, if you want a job ad or a private lesson by the hour. It starts from email, documents, quotes or reports, in Bari and the rest of Puglia.
Are you an AI trainer in Bari?
I train company teams, in workshops on their own cases, in Bari and Puglia. I do not run a course that trains trainers, and I do not give private lessons by the hour.
Do you run a ChatGPT course for companies in Bari?
Not a catalogue course, with the same date and price in every city. ChatGPT comes into the in-company workshop, with Gemini and Claude, on the files and requests the team brings. The result is a way to use it on Monday, not a certificate.
Do you run an AI Act course for companies in Bari?
Not a catalogue course. Since 2 February 2025, article 4 of the AI Act asks for competence from people who use AI systems. In the workshop we make clear what the system may say, what it must not say, and who steps in when it is wrong. It is not legal advice.
Do you consult for SMEs in Puglia?
Yes. An SME does not start from a platform for the whole company. It starts from one process that repeats. A first meeting can be in Bari. The rest is often remote, on the tools you already use.
How does AI consulting work?
It starts from one process, the data you have, and the time it costs today. Then a trial on real work, putting it on the tools you already use, and staying with the team. If it does not make sense, the consulting stops there.
Do you do business process automation?
Yes, in office work: email, documents, quotes, reports. Process automation here is a flow with a human check where it matters, in Bari and Puglia. It is not the engineering degree and it is not an industrial plant.
If you already have a process in mind
Write what repeats, who does it today, and how you know it went well. I reply myself. If it is not a fit, I say so.
