AI Consultant for London — Without London Day Rates
Production AI features for London businesses and agencies, delivered remotely so you pay for the work, not a Shoreditch office. I scope and build the right AI feature into your web app or SaaS product, fixed-price, shipped in 7 working days, from £750.
What an AI consultant costs in London
London rates carry a location premium. Here's what that looks like, and what you actually pay working with me.
London commands the highest AI consulting rates in the UK. A London-based AI consultant typically charges £900–£1,500 per day, and the larger agencies in the City and the West End charge well beyond that once account management and overheads are added. For a single production-ready AI feature, London quotes commonly land in the £2,000–£5,000+ range.
Most of that premium pays for the postcode, not better software. Because virtually all AI development happens remotely, with access to your codebase, async check-ins and deployment to your environment, a London office adds cost without adding capability. Working with me, the same feature is fixed-price from £750, because there's no city-centre overhead priced into the number.
| Engagement | Typical London cost | Remote (NRB) cost |
|---|---|---|
| One AI feature (chatbot, search, extraction) | £2,000–£5,000 | from £750 fixed |
| A week of development | £5,000–£7,500 (day rate) | from £750 (one sprint) |
| Cost certainty before you start | Often day-rate, open-ended | Fixed-price, scoped up front |

Who I work with in London
London has more agencies and funded startups than anywhere in the UK, and both are a strong fit.
Your client asked for AI and you don't have someone in-house. I work white-label behind your brand, delivering the feature so your client never knows a subcontractor was involved.
You're moving fast and need a production AI feature shipped without hiring a full-time ML engineer. I scope it, build it, and hand it over, with no headcount commitment.
You want the AI feature but not the London consultancy invoice. Same production standard, delivered remotely, at a fixed price you approve before work starts.

Common questions
London AI consultants typically charge £900–£1,500 per day, and large London agencies more. A single production-ready AI feature can run £2,000–£5,000+ at London rates. Delivered remotely from outside London, the same feature starts at £750 fixed-price because there's no city-centre overhead priced in.
Rarely. Almost all AI development is done remotely, so a London postcode mainly adds cost, not value. What matters is production AI experience and a clearly scoped engagement. I work with London clients remotely and can meet in person when a project genuinely needs it.
Yes. I work behind the scenes for agencies regularly, delivering the AI feature under your brand so your client never needs to know a subcontractor was involved. The agency partner page sets out the terms and has a brief template.
A fixed-price AI feature sprint starts at £750 for one feature over 7 working days. At a London day rate of £1,000–£1,500, the same week of work would be quoted at £5,000–£7,500 with no cost certainty. Fixed-price caps the number up front.
