Australian owned. Canberra. AI first.

AI is not an IT problem.
It is a governance and strategy problem.

We are AI consultants: strategy, governance and hands-on delivery on Azure and ServiceNow. Every system we build keeps a person in the loop, because the moment no one is watching is the moment AI stops being an asset.

Start a conversation What we build with AI

The risk you already carry

AI is already inside your organisation. The question is whether you can see it, prove what it did, and point to the person who decided.

Not visible

Staff are already using AI tools. Nobody can say what was asked, what came back, or which decisions a model quietly shaped.

Not provable

Your data goes somewhere. Who can see it, where it is processed, and how it is deleted become questions the organisation cannot answer to an auditor.

Not accountable

A policy nobody can see operating is a policy in name only. When something goes wrong, no one can say who should have been told, or when.

What we do

Three specialist practices, one position: the power of AI, governed.

01

AI strategy & governance

Operating models, policy, risk registers and compliance mapping that survive contact with an auditor. Person in the loop is the design principle, not a slide.

AI governance →
02

Azure AI

Azure AI specialists. Foundry, OpenAI Service and Copilot extensibility, identity-governed and cost-visible, built inside your tenant and your controls.

Azure AI →
03

ServiceNow

ServiceNow specialists across ITSM, ITOM and the CMDB. Now Assist and AI agents deployed where your work already happens, with governance attached.

Person in the loop, by design

Automation that cannot escalate is automation you cannot trust. In every system we build, this is the shape of the loop.

A person is told, early

The concern goes to a human with the evidence attached, through your own escalation process. Early, not after the fact.

A person decides

The system raises it. What happens next is a judgement made by someone who knows the context. The model advises; it never closes the loop.

The record survives

Requests, responses, escalations and decisions land in an audit trail you own. When the auditor asks, you answer with the record, not a shrug.

We run what we advise

Askew is not a slideware consultancy. We build and operate our own governed AI, so the advice you get has been paid for in production hours, not conference talks.

ARGUS

The hundred-eyed watchman for the mailbox. Every message is deep-dived: SPF, DKIM, DMARC, the full hop chain, its origin, its links, its reputation. AI scores and explains; a person makes the call, and the engine learns the verdict. askew.argus is running on our own mail first.

AI you can govern.
Results you can prove.

A conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Tell us what AI is doing in your organisation, or what you are afraid it is doing.
