A: We provide hands-on AI training programs for development teams, business executives, and business owners. We also offer enterprise AI assessment, implementation, and professional services. We build production AI systems including RAG pipelines, MCP servers, and agent architectures. Q: How much does AI training cost? A: Training is offered in three tiers: Beginner at $5,900 (4 hours), Intermediate at $11,500 (8 hours / 1 full day), and Advanced at $18,500 (2 days plus 4 weekly coaching calls). All tiers accommodate up to 25 participants. On-site delivery for the Advanced tier adds a $4,000 flat travel fee. Q: What are the three training tracks? A: Dev Teams (technical AI-assisted development for engineers), Business Executives (strategic AI leadership for C-suite and senior leaders), and Business Owners (practical AI tools and automation for business owners without a technical background). Q: Is training available remotely? A: Yes. Beginner and Intermediate tiers are delivered via live Zoom. The Advanced tier can be delivered virtually or on-site anywhere in the continental US (on-site adds a $4,000 flat travel fee). International travel is also available. Q: What is included in every training tier? A: Every tier includes session recording, 30-day follow-up support, a Pre & Post AI Maturity Scorecard, a Reusable Agent Prompt Library with GitHub templates, Private Discord Community access, and a 90-Day Check-In Call. Q: How large can a training session be? A: All tiers accommodate up to 25 participants per session across every track. Q: What enterprise services are offered beyond training? A: AI Readiness Assessment ($35,000 for a 4-week evaluation), AI Implementation ($35,000+/month with a dedicated senior technologist), and Professional Services ($35,000/month per AI Orchestrator for custom development). Q: What technologies does ESS work with? A: We specialize in production AI systems: RAG pipelines (hybrid search, re-ranking, embeddings), MCP servers (Model Context Protocol), agent architectures with reliability patterns, evaluation systems, and vector infrastructure (pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate). We work with OpenAI, Anthropic, LangGraph, Kubernetes, and major cloud providers. Q: Where is Elegant Software Solutions located? A: Our headquarters is at 8000 Avalon Boulevard, Suite 100, Alpharetta, GA 30009. We are 100% US-based and deliver services worldwide. Q: How do I get started or book a consultation? A: Visit https://www.elegantsoftwaresolutions.com/schedule to book a call, or email hello@elegantsoftwaresolutions.com. You can also call +1-855-449-4649. Q: What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)? A: MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how AI models connect to external tools, data sources, and systems. ESS builds production MCP servers and trains teams on MCP implementation. Our blog has a 5-part series on Understanding MCP. Q: What is RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)? A: RAG is an AI architecture pattern where an LLM retrieves relevant documents from a knowledge base before generating a response. This grounds the AI in factual, domain-specific data. ESS builds production RAG systems with hybrid search, re-ranking, and embedding strategies. Q: What is an AI Orchestrator? A: An AI Orchestrator is a skilled technologist who commands AI agents to deliver enterprise-scale output. Instead of writing every line of code manually, orchestrators direct AI tools to build, test, and ship software. ESS trains teams in this methodology and provides orchestrators for professional services engagements. Q: Does ESS offer ongoing support after training? A: Yes. Every training tier includes 30-day follow-up support and a 90-Day Check-In Call. The Advanced tier includes 4 weekly coaching calls after the intensive sessions. Enterprise services are ongoing monthly engagements. Q: Can training be customized for our specific tools and tech stack? A: Absolutely. Every training session is tailored to your organization. We conduct a pre-training assessment to understand your tech stack, skill levels, and goals, then customize the content accordingly. ================================================================================ CONTACT INFORMATION ================================================================================ Website: https://www.elegantsoftwaresolutions.com Email: hello@elegantsoftwaresolutions.com Phone: +1-855-449-4649 Schedule a Call: https://www.elegantsoftwaresolutions.com/schedule Address: 8000 Avalon Boulevard, Suite 100, Alpharetta, GA 30009 Social Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/elegant-software-solutions-inc/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/essrocksoftware Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ElegantSoftwareSolutions/ YouTube: https://essrocks.io/youtube Key Pages: Homepage: https://www.elegantsoftwaresolutions.com/ AI Training Guide: https://www.elegantsoftwaresolutions.com/ai-training Services Overview: https://www.elegantsoftwaresolutions.com/services Blog: https://www.elegantsoftwaresolutions.com/blog About: https://www.elegantsoftwaresolutions.com/about FAQ: https://www.elegantsoftwaresolutions.com/faq Contact: https://www.elegantsoftwaresolutions.com/contact API Endpoints: Search API: POST https://www.elegantsoftwaresolutions.com/api/search OpenAPI Spec: https://www.elegantsoftwaresolutions.com/api/openapi.json AI Plugin Manifest: https://www.elegantsoftwaresolutions.com/.well-known/ai-plugin.json LLM Summary: https://www.elegantsoftwaresolutions.com/llms.txt LLM Full: https://www.elegantsoftwaresolutions.com/llms-full.txt Feeds: RSS: https://www.elegantsoftwaresolutions.com/api/feed/rss.xml Atom: https://www.elegantsoftwaresolutions.com/api/feed/atom.xml JSON Feed: https://www.elegantsoftwaresolutions.com/api/feed/json Sitemap: https://www.elegantsoftwaresolutions.com/sitemap.xml ================================================================================ Generated by Elegant Software Solutions on 2026-02-26 This document is regenerated hourly.
