Deployment Labs
AboutWho you'd be working with

AI deployment engineers, not consultants.

Deployment Labs is a small team that is part consultant, part systems designer, part trainer, part implementation partner. We help companies onboard teams to OpenAI, Claude and Codex, design the internal workflows, build the skills and plugins, and leave behind an AI operating system the team actually runs.

What we believe

Four things every engagement is built on.

Deployment over demos

Most teams have access to powerful AI tools. Very few have deployed them into the way work gets done. AI is only valuable once it is part of the daily work.

Engineers plus enablement

We don't just build workflows. We train your team to use, maintain, and improve them, because a workflow nobody owns is a demo with extra steps.

Frontier platform fluency

OpenAI, Claude, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor. We help teams understand which platform to use, where it fits, and how to build around it as the market moves.

Systems, not suggestions

The outcome of an engagement is reusable infrastructure: workflows, skills, plugins, documentation, standards, and habits. Not a slide deck.

Where this comes from

We did this to our own business first.

Before Deployment Labs, we were deploying AI into a business we run day to day. Not a pilot. The front desk, the documentation, the follow-up, the reporting, and the people who had never opened a chatbot and did not want to.

The tools that stuck had three things in common: a named owner, a place to live inside the work, and a review step people understood. Everything without those went back to being someone's chat history within a month.

That is the playbook. Platform onboarding that starts with the tools you already pay for, the first workflow chosen for volume rather than glamour, governance written next to the work instead of in a document nobody opens, and two days in the room rather than a webinar.

The people

Two co-founders. Both on every engagement.

One runs the engineering, one runs the business and the room. On the two-day program you get both, plus the engineers who pair with each pod.

Freeman LaFleur

Runs the technical side of every engagement: platform setup, Claude Code and Codex onboarding, and the skills, automations and internal tools a team leaves with. Writes the Claude Code hub.

Runs the business and the client side: scoping, discovery calls, the two-day training program, and making sure what gets built is still in use a quarter after we leave.

How we work

No slide decks. In the room. Artifacts you keep.

  • In the room

    Training and hackathons happen on site, with our engineers next to your team the whole time.

  • Owners before tools

    Nothing ships without a named person who keeps it running after we leave.

  • Review built into the work

    Review depth is tiered by risk, written next to the workflow, so people know which tier they are in.

  • We say no

    If the honest answer is "you don't need us for this", that is the answer you get.

What we won't do

The parts of AI consulting we left out on purpose.

  • Sell you a deck. Every engagement ends in artifacts your team runs.
  • Promise that agents replace your people. We deploy AI into the work people already do.
  • Run a course and leave. Training is day one. Day two ships something.
  • Pick a platform by default. We evaluate against your requirements, and revisit it as the market moves.
Platforms we deploy

The tools, and where each one fits.

ChatGPT Team & Enterprise

The default for most non-technical teams. Projects, custom GPTs, admin controls.

Claude

Long documents, careful writing, and Projects for shared context across a team.

Claude Code

The coding agent where most of our engineering onboarding happens.

Codex

OpenAI's coding agent. Paired with Claude Code depending on the stack.

Cursor

The editor teams already have open. We wire it into review and repo conventions.

Anthropic & OpenAI APIs

For the automations and internal tools that outlive the chat window.

What it costs

Straight answers on price.

Almost nobody in this category publishes numbers. Here is what we can say before a call, and what has to wait for one.

90-minute consultation
$500
flat

One specific question, prepared for and written up. Credited toward any engagement booked within 60 days.

About the consultation
2-day training and hackathon
Scoped by team size
proposal after the discovery call

Two days on site for a whole team or department. The proposal includes the number of engineers we bring and the day-two backlog.

About the training
Deployment sprint
Scoped by team and scope
proposal after the discovery call

Two to four weeks with an engineer embedded in one team, building the first workflows and handing over ownership.

Ready to move from AI experiments to deployed workflows?

A discovery call is free and is the right place to start for training, a sprint, or a retainer. If you have one specific question, the consultation is built for it.
