A practical guide for companies looking for artificial intelligence consulting in Medellín: what to ask, red flags, and how to evaluate real return.
Choosing an AI consultancy in Medellín in 2026 is noisy: everyone promises agents. The useful signal is whether they start from your operation (leads, DIAN, support) and propose a 3–6 week pilot with a KPI, not an 80-slide roadmap.
Five questions you should ask
- Who codes the pilot — the same person who sold it?
- Do they have cases with a metric (hours, conversion, error) and permission to name it?
- Does the price come in COP and USD, and what is out of scope?
- Where does data live (Colombia, AWS, Azure) and will they sign an NDA?
- Is there support after go-live or do they disappear?
Red flags
A ChatGPT demo with your logo. “24/7 AI” without official WhatsApp Cloud API. Price only in dollars with no local range. A promise to replace the sales team in a month. Fine-tuning when you need RAG or an n8n flow.
What a local team offers
Veflat SAS has been in Medellín since 2020 (company since 2012). Same COT timezone, business Spanish, Siigo/Alegra/DIAN and metro-area meetings. 75+ projects. We do not compete on PowerPoint with a big four: we compete on a system in production.
How to compare without a magic table
Give two vendors the same scope: one process, one channel, one metric. Anyone who cannot bound that in 45 minutes is not ready for your SME.
