Making AI practical, accessible, and impactful for businesses of all sizes.
Founded in 2023, the award winning AI Accelerator helps organisations of all sizes unlock the real-world potential of artificial intelligence. We specialise in practical, hands-on AI adoption through training, tools, and strategy, built around the realities of how people actually work.
We believe AI isn’t just for tech giants. Our mission is to make AI understandable and usable by everyone, whether you’re just starting your journey or looking to scale intelligently across your business.
Through our structured AI Adoption Framework, CPD-certified training, and vibrant peer community, we support you to move from confusion to clarity, from experimentation to implementation.

We believe in the power of AI to enhance human capability, not replace it, and we’re here to help others harness that power with confidence, clarity, and purpose.

Ross is unusual in the fact that he can explain complex technical concepts clearly and translate this into real solutions for users, as well as being able to build AI systems.
"Sharing a vision for AI is inspiring. But the real value comes from bridging the gap between that strategy and the engineering that brings it to life."

Why We’re Different
Â
At AI Accelerator, we don’t believe AI is about chasing the latest tools or trends.
We believe it’s about how humans interact with AI, how teams think, communicate, and build capability around it. That’s where the real transformation happens.
We focus on Human–AI Systems, not just software. Because in the end, it’s not the tool that matters, it’s how people use it.
Here’s what sets us apart:
- We’ve worked with hundreds of professionals across a diverse set of industries, so we know what actually works.
- Our use cases are grounded in real problems, not hype.
- We don’t teach complex AI theory. We teach AI that works, in your role, in your context, right now.
- We’re building a community-first ecosystem, where learning, tools, and experimentation are shared, not siloed.
- Our framework isn’t off-the-shelf. It adapts to your people, your goals, your pace.
We’re here to help you build something real, lasting, and useful, with AI that makes sense for your world.
