About PFConsult
I help companies test whether AI is worth building
I'm Pavel Filonov, founder of PFConsult. I help startups and small businesses understand where machine learning, RAG, and AI agents can improve business processes — and where a simpler solution is the better choice.
How I Work
My consulting style is friendly, direct, and practical. I start by understanding your process, constraints, data, and expected business value. Then I help you design the smallest useful test: a prototype, agent workflow, or assessment that gives you evidence before you invest heavily.
Where I Focus
- ✓AI opportunity assessment for startups and small businesses
- ✓Custom AI agents for customer support and internal workflows
- ✓RAG systems connected to business knowledge and documentation
- ✓Practical AI education for founders, product teams, and engineers
