Prove AI works in your business in 14 days — before you commit to anything.
A fixed-fee AI win, built inside the tools you already use. If it doesn’t do what we agreed on day three, you don’t pay the second invoice — and you keep everything we built. Enterprise-grade delivery for oil & gas, industrial services, and manufacturing, without the enterprise retainer or a full-time hire.

Get started with AI for Oil & Gas. Which one of these is you?
Most firms sell you the engagement they’d like to sell. We start with the one you actually need. Pick the sentence that sounds like your team right now.
“Can AI even work for us?”
We audit your operation, build one working AI agent inside your existing stack in 14 days, and train your team on it. On day 14 you decide against a definition we co-signed on day three. Can’t sign off? No second invoice — and you keep the working tool, the code, and the documentation.
Start a pilot →“Show us the quality first.”
One full day with our team. You leave with a scored readiness assessment, a prioritized AI opportunity stack, working prompt sets built on your data, documented workflows, and a 90-day plan. The fee is credited in full toward your first month if you continue.
Book the workshop →“Run our AI program for us.”
Once a pilot or workshop proves the fit, we manage the whole program month to month — identifying opportunities, building automations, documenting workflows, and training your team. Three tiers, named deliverables every month, and no lock-in.
Talk through the tiers →“Lead AI at the executive level.”
A full-time Chief AI Officer is a $300K+ hire that takes six months to recruit. We embed a senior AI executive with your leadership team part-time — owning roadmap, governance, vendor selection, and board communication — for a fraction of that cost, starting now.
Scope an engagement →Not sure which fits? Book a discovery call — the first job is figuring if AI for oil & gas is the right starting point, not selling you the biggest one.
Your answers are buried in your own documents.
Nataero turns your operations, HSE, and contract files into instant, source-cited answers — so field leaders, estimators, and compliance teams get what they need in seconds. Private and on-prem: your documents never leave your control, and nothing is used to train public models.
Built for operators the big platforms overlook.
Hiring a full-time AI specialist runs six figures and months of recruiting. Enterprise consultancies charge enterprise retainers and hand you a strategy deck. Doing it yourself means late-night tutorials and tools that don’t stick. We’re the third option — accountable for results, sized for a business with 20 to 500 people.
- 01You own everything. Every workflow, prompt, and automation belongs to you from the moment it’s delivered. No lock-in, no proprietary trap.
- 02Vendor-neutral. We recommend the right tool for the job — never one we take a referral fee on — and we never mark up your API or infrastructure costs.
- 03Your data stays yours. We never use your business data to train models or share it with third parties.
- 04Capabilities, in writing. We promise specific, agreed capabilities — not inflated ROI figures. You know exactly what you’re getting before we start.
