APPLIED AI STUDIO

Build AI that makes people faster, not busier.

IB Next AI designs and ships real products and automations, not slideware. From track-day race engineers to workflow copilots for your team, we focus on small interfaces that remove big friction.

Focus: Applied AI and no-code automation
Mode: Tiny experiments, fast iteration
Clients: Track drivers, SMBs, and teams that ship
Early work includes racely.ai, an AI race engineer for serious weekend drivers.
Services

Where IB Next AI helps first.

Most teams do not need a hundred agents. They need a few well designed automations that connect the tools they already use and quietly remove busywork.

AI strategy for real workloads
Copilot and M365 ecosystem
No-code and low-code automation
Telemetry and analytics for humans
Product and prototype sprints
Build

Two to four week sprints to turn an idea into something that can be clicked on, tested, and validated in the real world.

  • Clarify the user, the job to be done, and what “better” looks like.
  • Design small interfaces that fit into existing workflows.
  • Ship a working prototype, not a concept deck.
Good for teams that know the problem, but not yet the shape of the solution.
AI and automation for operations
Operate

Automations and agents that connect the tools you already use, with guardrails for security and governance.

  • Copilot, M365, and Azure AI patterns.
  • n8n, Make.com, and Power Automate flows.
  • Human-in-the-loop review where it matters.
Ideal for teams buried in manual exports, status decks, and copy paste loops.
Advisory for leadership teams
Guide

Fractional guidance on how to fold AI into existing roadmaps without breaking everything that already works.

  • Translate vendor hype into concrete patterns.
  • Prioritize a short list of high impact use cases.
  • Plan for privacy, risk, and clear ownership.
Helps executives make decisions that their teams can actually execute.
Products

Things you can use, not just read about.

IB Next AI experiments in public through focused products. racely.ai is the first full release, with more tools in development for track drivers and teams.

Approach

Small experiments, shipped quickly.

The safest way to adopt AI is to start small, learn fast, and keep humans in charge of outcomes. IB Next AI works in short cycles that create momentum instead of another stalled initiative.

1. Clarify the job

Define one clear workflow, one primary user, and what “better” looks like in concrete terms.

Examples: less time in spreadsheets, fewer status emails, more track sessions with a clear plan.

2. Build a thin slice

Design a small interface that can live inside tools you already use and wire it up end to end.

We favor chat plus structured summaries, not new portals that nobody will open.

3. Run it with real data

Test with live sessions or live workflows, collect feedback, and adjust guardrails and prompts.

Metrics: time saved, decisions improved, people actually choosing to use the tool.
About

Built by someone who lives in both worlds.

IB Next AI sits at the overlap of enterprise IT, AI platforms, and weekends spent chasing lap times. That mix shapes the products and the advice that come out of the studio.

Enterprise-grade thinking, small-team pace

The work is informed by years of leading infrastructure, cloud, and AI modernization for financial services and member-centric organizations.

That means security, compliance, and resilience are not afterthoughts. They are part of the first conversation and every design choice that follows.

At the same time, the studio operates like a small product team: short feedback loops, clear owners, and a bias toward shipping working software.

Contact

Start with one workflow or one weekend.

Whether you want to modernize an internal process or explore a product idea like racely.ai for your own niche, the next step is a short conversation.

Share a quick sketch of the problem, the tools you already use, and what “better” would feel like for your team or your drivers.

Expect a reply within a couple of business days with a few options, not a 40 page proposal.
Preferred: a short note and 2–3 examples of the pain today.
