Practical AI services for public health and mission-driven teams
Choose a clear starting point for training, workflow design, responsible implementation, or a controlled AI pilot.
Backyard-AI helps teams move from broad AI curiosity to practical next steps. Services are designed for public health departments, nonprofits, universities, coalitions, recovery organizations, and other mission-driven teams that need AI support to be useful, reviewable, and realistic.
Start narrow. Build trust. Improve real workflows.
Most organizations do not need a massive AI transformation project. They need a practical way to identify use cases, train staff, set guardrails, and build one useful workflow at a time. Backyard-AI offers a specific set of services designed to help teams make progress without overengineering the process.
AI Readiness and Use-Case Prioritization Sprint
Best for teams that know AI may be useful but are not sure where to start.
In this short engagement, Backyard-AI helps your team identify candidate use cases, compare risk and value, choose a practical first pilot, and outline a realistic 90-day implementation path.
Typical fit: public health agencies, nonprofits, universities, or coalitions exploring AI for the first time or trying to organize scattered ideas.
Practical AI Staff Workshop
Best for teams that need shared understanding, staff confidence, and practical examples.
Workshops are hands-on, public-health grounded, and built around realistic tasks such as summarizing information, drafting communication materials, preparing internal reports, reviewing outputs, and using AI responsibly.
Typical fit: staff development days, conference sessions, faculty groups, leadership teams, coalitions, and program teams.
Workflow Sprint
Best for teams that already have one workflow they want to improve.
Backyard-AI helps design one repeatable AI-assisted workflow with clear inputs, outputs, prompts, review steps, quality checks, and implementation guidance.
Typical fit: teams working on reporting, evidence summaries, health communication, training materials, community resource guides, or program documentation.
Responsible AI Starter Kit
Best for teams that need simple guidance before staff begin using AI more widely.
This engagement creates practical internal guidance, risk tiers, review checklists, disclosure language, and staff orientation materials so AI use is clearer and more accountable.
Typical fit: organizations that want responsible AI expectations without a long policy-development process.
Knowledge Assistant or Chatbot Pilot
Best for teams considering a controlled assistant for internal knowledge, resource navigation, training, or approved public information. RAG library-based chatbot/resource navigators. Layered LLM model retrieval, customized persona, language, and datasets.
Backyard-AI helps scope, plan, test, and evaluate a controlled assistant using approved materials, defined boundaries, and clear review processes.
Typical fit: resource-navigation programs, recovery organizations, training programs, university teams, and public health organizations with approved knowledge bases.
Monthly Advisory Support
Best for teams that want ongoing help after a workshop, sprint, or pilot.
Advisory support may include office hours, workflow review, AI implementation coaching, prompt and process review, responsible AI guidance, and planning for additional use cases.
Choosing the right service and pricing
Which starting point fits your team?
Choose a workshop if your team needs shared understanding and confidence.
Choose a readiness sprint if you have several possible use cases and need to choose the safest first pilot.
Choose a workflow sprint if you already know the task you want to improve.
Choose a responsible AI starter kit if staff are already experimenting with AI and you need clear expectations.
Choose a knowledge assistant pilot if you want to test a chatbot or assistant using approved materials and a defined scope.
Project pricing depends on scope, number of participants, timeline, deliverables, and level of implementation support. Most engagements begin with a short readiness call to identify the best starting point and determine the right scope.
