# DeBlaca AI
> DeBlaca AI is an Irish AI consultancy helping SMEs in manufacturing, operations, and professional services adopt AI without hype. We run AI readiness assessments, deliver team workshops, and build practical automation with n8n, Claude, ChatGPT, and Microsoft Copilot. Based in Clane, County Kildare. Founded by Tony Blake after 20 years in operations at Intel Ireland.

DeBlaca AI is based in Clane, County Kildare, Ireland. We serve Irish SMEs — typically 10 to 200 employees — in manufacturing, engineering, operations, and professional services. We work across Ireland, the UK, and the EU. The founder, Tony Blake, spent 20 years at Intel Ireland covering Six Sigma, Lean, yield improvement, and industrial automation before moving into AI consulting in 2025.

We do not sell hype. We sell measurable outcomes. Every engagement has a defined scope, a fixed or grant-fundable price, and a measurement loop. If it cannot be measured, we do not sell it.
