Leaner AI

Leaner AI. Less context, lower AI bills.

We organize your business knowledge so each AI task reads only the files it needs, instead of paying to read everything.

Built on ICM, the Interpretable Context Methodology.

How it works.

  1. 01

    A map of your business

    We sort your SOPs, pricing, policies and records into a clear folder structure, with a short routing file on top.

  2. 02

    Each task reads only what it needs

    Every job gets a list of what to load and what to skip, so the model isn't paying to read your whole drive.

  3. 03

    Works with any model

    The same setup runs on cloud models or on private AI in your office, and you can see exactly what each task read.

Three files, not three hundred.

Most AI setups hand the model everything and hope. A lean setup hands it the three files the job actually needs. Fewer tokens per run, and less noise to get wrong.

Questions, answered.

What is Leaner AI?

It's how we set up AI so each task reads only the information it needs. We organize your business knowledge into a clear structure, then give every task a short list of what to load and what to skip. Less to read means smaller bills and fewer wrong answers.

How does organizing context reduce AI token costs?

AI models bill by the token, and every file a task reads costs tokens. When a task loads the three files it needs instead of your whole knowledge base, every run is smaller. Across hundreds of runs a day, that adds up.

What is ICM?

ICM, the Interpretable Context Methodology, is a published method from Jake Van Clief and David McDermott that uses folder structure as the architecture for AI work. Each stage has a short contract: what it reads, what it does and what it hands off. It's open source under the MIT license.

Does it work with ChatGPT, Claude or private AI?

Yes. The structure is plain files, so it works with whichever model you use, including private AI running on hardware in your office. Small, focused context is also what lets a local model handle real work.

How much will it save us?

It depends on how much your AI reads today, so we won't quote a number before we've seen your setup. On the free audit call we look at what your tasks load and show you where the waste is.
