Novus Group · A Louisiana AI consultancy

We build the software others pitch.
We teach the teams who'll own it next.

Two practices, one studio. We build AI-powered software for companies that need it done well, and we train the teams who'll own it next.

Based in Alexandria, Louisiana. Working with companies across Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Lafayette, Covington, and Mandeville.

Engagements limited

§ 01 / Practices

Two ways we work, both grounded in what actually works in production.

01 / Product

AI Product Development

We design and build the AI features your team would build if you had a senior crew sitting next to them. Models, evaluation, the interface around it. Production code, not slides. Engagements run six to sixteen weeks, scoped tightly, with a clear handover.

  • Discovery & technical scoping
  • Prototype to production build
  • Evaluation harnesses & guardrails
  • Handover, training, and runbook
02 / Education

AI Education for Teams

Cohort-based training for the people who'll live with this technology: product, design, engineering, and the executives who set their direction. Built around your actual workflows, not generic prompt-engineering drills. Honest about what AI does well and where it doesn't.

  • Executive briefings & strategy days
  • Practitioner cohorts (4–8 weeks)
  • Curriculum tailored to your stack
  • Ongoing office hours
§ 02 / Approach

A small senior team, working in the open, on a short list of things at once.

01

Senior hands only

The people you meet are the people who do the work. No staffing pyramid, no junior dev rotated in halfway.

02

Honest about the tech

We'll tell you when AI is the wrong tool. The hype cycle isn't our business; the result is.

03

Built to be handed off

Your team owns it after we leave. Documentation, evaluations, and the reasoning behind each decision come with the code.

04

One client at a time

We take on a small number of engagements per quarter. It's why the work is good and why we have to say no.

§ 03 / Formats

Three shapes the work tends to take.

/ 01

Embedded Build

A senior pair joins your team to build a defined AI feature, end to end. We write the code, set up evaluation, and leave a runbook your engineers can extend.

8–16 weeks
/ 02

Executive Workshops

One or two days with your leadership team. Where AI fits in your business, what to invest in, what to ignore. Tailored briefing, no generic decks.

1–2 days
/ 03

Team Cohorts

A guided programme for a working team of ten to twenty people, with weekly sessions and real projects. They leave with skills and a body of work.

4–8 weeks
