SKILLS
ABOUT BEN CRABB
I spent 13 years as a financial adviser. Not the kind that hands you a savings plan and sends you on your way. The kind that used to corner the Goldman Sachs fund managers after the quarterly briefing and not let them leave until I actually understood what was happening underneath the numbers.That habit, of refusing to accept the surface answer, of pulling at threads until the real picture emerged, turned out to be the most transferable skill I\'ve ever had.Because it\'s exactly what good AI consultancy requires.Most businesses that come to me think they know what they need. Sometimes they\'re right. More often, they\'ve correctly identified a symptom and misdiagnosed the cause. An engineer will build what you ask for. I find out what you actually need, then build that instead. There\'s a significant difference between the two, and it tends to show up in whether the thing you paid for actually solves the problem six months later.I\'m the founder of Indeks AI, where we build bespoke AI systems for businesses: voice agents that handle calls and book appointments, RAG-powered knowledge systems, automation that removes the manual work your team has quietly accepted as just part of the job. We work with clients from the first conversation through to live deployment. No handoffs, no gaps, no off-the-shelf tools shoehorned into problems they weren\'t designed for.Alongside that, I\'m an Associate Professor of AI at ELVTR, teaching the next generation of AI Solutions Architects. Teaching forces clarity. If you can\'t explain it simply, you don\'t understand it well enough.Indeks AI also ships its own products. INDEKS Advisory gives businesses access to a 24/7 panel of 21 specialist AI advisors, producing enterprise-grade strategic analysis in hours rather than months. INDEKS SafeRating independently verifies children\'s apps, exposing the deceptive age ratings that app stores won\'t. INDEKS Research, launching soon, will change how professionals find and synthesise information entirely.If you have a problem you can\'t quite get your head around, or you know you need to do something with AI but aren\'t sure where to start, that\'s exactly the conversation I\'m here for. b•••@indeks.ai
