    I have sat on every side of the table

    I am Saga Úlfarsdóttir and I have worked with AI and data science for more than a decade. I have built AI solutions, led product development and managed engineering teams, including as Head of Product and Head of AI Development at Travelshift.

    I connect the needs of managers and customers with what the technology can do. I help you assess what is possible and what it will take.

    I also build solutions myself and draw on that experience in my advisory work.

    Career

    Services

    I work with managers and teams in mid-sized and large companies and institutions, including in energy, law and retail.

    Strategy

    Where and how can AI help your business?

    You get: A list of projects ranked by cost, benefit and risk, a plan for where to start, and follow-up as it is put into practice.

    I work with managers on a strategy that sets out which projects are worth tackling first, how you will carry them out and how to do it responsibly and within the law. I get to know your operations, talk to key people and assess the state of your data and the projects already under way. You get a plan that ranks projects by cost and benefit, and clear next steps. Where it makes sense I also build prototypes to test ideas before you commit to a bigger investment. The scope depends on the client.

    Talks

    AI explained in plain language. What works and what matters for your group.

    You get: A shared foundation in the group, so conversations about AI at work start from the same understanding.

    The aim is for the audience to get a feel for what lies behind AI solutions and how they differ from other technology. I offer a general talk lasting about 40 minutes and a tailored talk lasting about an hour. In a tailored talk I connect the material to your organisation's work and can use examples from your own AI tools.

    Topics

    These are the topics I cover most often in talks. I adapt the material to your group.

    • Practical AI at work How AI can be used in everyday work.
    • AI agents: AI that carries out tasks on its own How to build and use AI agents to take care of tasks for you.

    FAQ

    What does a talk cost?

    It depends on the format, the length and how much the material is tailored. The calculator on the pricing page gives a rough idea. Public institutions and schools pay a lower price.

    Who is this for?

    I mostly work with managers and teams in medium and large companies and public institutions. Participants do not need any technical background.

    Is the material tailored to our organisation?

    Yes, if you want it to be. A general talk works well as a first step. For tailored material I work from your own projects, tools and policies.

    How does work on strategy start?

    We start with a 30 minute intro call to discuss your current situation and how I can help. I then send you a proposal setting out what the project includes, when it will be completed and what it will cost.

    Do you also build solutions?

    Yes, when it makes sense. I build prototypes to test ideas. The focus is on strategy and building knowledge in house.
