Innovation Studio:Industrial AI and Human Performance at Work

KB&G Consulting is an industrial AI venture studio dedicated to delivering real value to heavy industries such as mining, quarrying, construction materials, and manufacturing. Our AI-first applications are designed to enhance safety, improve workforce skills, and boost operational efficiency in ways that directly impact your bottom line and team well-being. We offer practical solutions including voice-to-data safety intelligence, AI role-play training, PPE detection, pricing strategy, and commercial diagnostics—all tailored to address critical safety, pricing, and workforce challenges you face. Our approach follows a structured lifecycle from problem discovery to company spin-out, ensuring that every AI-native product is built around AI agents from day one with humans actively involved. This method not only accelerates product launch and deployment but also ensures that solutions are deeply aligned with your operational realities. By enabling smaller, focused teams to manage multiple AI-first products efficiently, we compress complex development cycles into actionable, value-driven outcomes. Since 2025, our flagship projects have demonstrated measurable improvements in industrial operations by leveraging deep domain expertise. We focus on solving real-world challenges in supply chains and asset-heavy industries, helping you achieve tangible success amid the evolving landscape of AI-native company building in industrial software.

Our flagship Industrial Innovation projects started in 2025.

Canary Waves

Voice-to-data safety intelligence for mining and quarrying.

Canary Waves converts the two-way radio traffic on a site into real-time safety alerts, highlighting collision risks, hazards, and protocol breaches before they escalate. Industrial AI teams need to build and validate an early prototype through real-world testing before broader rollout. Domain experts identify unmet needs early in industrial settings, where deployments face challenges like hardware limits, data access, legacy systems, critical site components, and the long sales cycles typical of industrial AI adoption. Talent with both AI and site operation knowledge is scarce, so venture studios help overcome these barriers by providing shared AI and hardware engineers, partnerships, and capital from day one. This support shortens the time from algorithm development to revenue. Canary Waves runs passively on existing infrastructure without disrupting frontline operations. The studio partners with founders from the start, acting as an institutional co-founder to guide company formation, validation, business model design, and achieving product-market fit.

Georgia

Human-performance AI for the conversations that move money.

Georgia is an AI role-play platform that trains teams for high-stakes moments: holding price under pressure, de-escalating an unhappy client before it becomes a crisis. Knowing what to say is not the same as saying it under pressure, so Georgia builds the skill through short, personalized practice for a small team or a larger frontline operation. Developed through our AI Studio, Georgia was shaped by developing the product with customers as we refined it in real workflows, and it is an AI-native product built around AI agents from day one. Built in the field, for construction, mining, and building materials, it keeps those agents in the loop across practice and feedback workflows while showing how we collaborate closely with customers from the beginning to solve hard problems. Our studio provides shared infrastructure to support the rapid development and deployment of AI applications that address the future needs of industrial operations.
