Your team already knows where AI could save time. What’s missing is the capacity and expertise to scope the opportunity, and the budget for a consultant or new hire to build a solution. We close that gap: a team of two vetted Northeastern graduate students works directly with your team to identify, scope, and prototype AI opportunities, at a fraction of the usual cost, and with expert oversight from our AI Solutions Hub. This is our talent model for AI. We call it Forward-Deployed Engineers, or FDE.
FDEs blend hands-on technical work with direct partner collaboration, the same model leading tech companies use to deploy client-facing talent, adapted here to move fast from requirement to prototype.
Each workstream stands on its own — start wherever fits your team, or run all three back-to-back from discovery through prototype.
We’re scheduling our first cohort of FDE partners now. If there’s an AI opportunity your team hasn’t had the bandwidth to scope, let’s talk.
